The Red Dragon is caught by Chinese officials stealing stolen jade. The military offers her back her life if she works for them to sabotage an experimental aircraft base near Kuala Lumpur. Assassin Gregor Krell has also been dispatched from Russia to accomplish the same mission.
Roger Stanfield convinces the Blackhawks to provide security for the base in exchange for the privilege of flying the new aircraft being tested there. Their arrival is not without incident as they encounter a foo fighter and three fighter planes try to shoot them down. When they land, they are introduced to their new CIA contact Masterson.
