No-Fly Zone

Forbidden skies over Iraq pulse with fresh violation—F-117 Nighthawk shreds under Iraqi SAM fire thirteen hours past, stealth wreckage scatters across radar-haunted contours. Rescue helos slice incursion paths through brittle enforcement webs, Republican Guard tanks surge south along Tigris curves and Euphrates flats, churning sandstorms that pierce satellite glare. Tension arcs like live wire; every hover dares DEFCON shadows, jet fuel ghosts mingle with geopolitical barbs in air thick as pre-storm static, pilots' fates dangling amid rescue defiance.
