Message from The Republic of Matrix Theory
--- Secret military bunker in the outskirts of Schur City, the capital of Matrix Theory ---
--- present: Senator Felix, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vice-Chief Determinant, Acting Commander-in-Chief,
Senator Rafi Schultz, Minister of War,
General-Adjoint Donald Shifter, Chief of General Staff
General-Colonel Arnon Compact, Commander of the Air Force
aides.
------------------------------------------------------------
An officer enters and whispers on the ear of General Compact. The General then addresses Senator Felix: "Sir, a large Dominion airfleet will be withing our airspace within fifteen minutes. Recon satellites data indicate the presence of about 100 fighters and 60 bombers. The fighters are obsolete Soviet models. We have no intelligence on the bombers".
Senator Felix: "Your suggestions, General?"
General Compact: "Two squadrons of our F-15e fighters are already in the air. But that's only 20 planes. Even though they completely outclass the Evil planes they are too few to be successful. We can send more planes to the air, sir, but it will take some time."
Senator Felix: "No, cancel that. Have all our fighters land immediately in the underground hangars. Activate the Spectral Radius Defence Perimeter System instead."
General Shifter [puzzled]: "But, sir, what about the bombers?"
Senator Felix: "What's left (if anything) from the Evil bombers after their encounter with the Spectral Radius system will be easily wiped out by our F-15e's. Simple corollary, gentlemen."
[General laughter of relief in the room]
Senator Felix [to Senator Schultz]: "Rafi, do you agree?"
Senator Schultz: "Yes, that's the best option we have."
Senator Felix: "Alright then. Put the Spectral Radius online, General."
------------------------------------------------------------
Ten minutes later: The Evil Dominion airfleet is entering Matrix Theory Airspace at about 1.5 mach speed.
Suddenly thick laser beams pass through almost all airplanes. Most of them are divided into two or three parts and crash in flames to the ground. The few that remain are shot down by Matrix Theory 15e-s that scramble from their underground hangars.
On the ground, military medics and special ops units rush to capture the Dominion pilots.
The day is won for Matrix Theory.

LESSON NO 1 OF WARFARE: Superior numbers mean nothing. Only skill, technology and morale matter.
