The Israeli Air Defense System, Super Green Pine, utilizing its advanced technological capabilities, successfully detected, tracked, and identified the trio of Thai IAI Searcher 2 Mk3 UAVs. Its autonomous and sophisticated algorithms enabled an immediate recognition, discerning that these UAVs were of a design that originated from within their national technology sphere. The data it gathered was not merely superficial; it included precise navigational data pinpointing the UAVs' flight paths, detailed weather readings capturing the atmospheric conditions surrounding their operations, and distinct radar signatures. These elements combined to provide a comprehensive and nuanced visualization of the Thai UAVs’ movements and operational status. This in-depth analysis allowed the Israeli system to understand not just the location, but also the potential intentions and capabilities of the Thai UAVs, offering a strategic advantage in assessing their presence in the region.

However, when the Thai UAVs malfunctioned and crashed, descending from an altitude of 20,000 feet, they precisely took 35.25 seconds to reach the ocean surface. The UAVs, accelerating under gravity, breached the sound barrier just moments before impact. This high-speed collision with the ocean surface caused a substantial explosion. Each UAV, upon impact, unleashed an energy burst equivalent to 28,218,686 Joules, comparable to the explosive force of 6.74 kilograms of TNT. This catastrophic collision led to an immediate and intense explosion, effectively disintegrating key components.

The onboard camera, black box, and integral systems, housed within the UAVs' central framework, were completely obliterated in the blast. The force of the impact and the subsequent explosion rendered them beyond recovery. As a result, no data could be retrieved, and no parts were salvageable from the wreckage. The impact zone was marked by a brief, yet fierce conflagration on the water's surface, visually illustrating the immense force of the collision. The intensity of the explosion also caused a noticeable disturbance in the water, with waves radiating outward from the point of impact, further indicating the sheer energy released upon contact.​

"INS David Ben-Gurion. INS David Ben-Gurion. This is OKP Gwiezdny. We received your last transmission and unfortunately we will have to await authorization from the Ministry of National Defense before we can begin joint operations with the Israeli government. We shall be departing these waters while we await word from the MOND. We will let the big wigs handle these matters."

The commander of the OKP Gwiezdny would send the radio traffic back to the Israeli ship over VHF channel 16, just as they had sent them, before continuing on their way to Port Said located within Egyptian waters. The three ships would carefully monitor their radars and sonar to ensure they were travelling safe while also ensuring they did not come under fire or risked attack from other threats. They would avoid underwater obstacles and obstacles on the water while the maneuvered towards the port. Once at the port they would radio the Harbor Master and inform them of their intent to dock and replenish stocks and fuel.

The Republic Thai Armed Forces Middle East Command's Tatvan/Bitlis Long Range Reconnaissance Company had completed their mission, as ordered by the commander of the Tatvan/Bitlis Division, Major General Pawich Sangthong. During their deployment in strategically vital regions, stretching from urban centers to remote desert outposts, they had championed the causes of democracy, human rights, peace, and transparency across the Middle East. It was likely that, through their covert operations and diplomatic engagements, they had secured a burgeoning, collaborative relationship between Israel and Poland. This alliance, although beneficial to the global stance of these nations, came at a cost to Thailand's direct diplomatic ties. Despite potentially antagonizing Thailand, the Company recognized the strategic value in fostering relations between Israel and Poland—two nations whose compatibility in defense, technology, and economic interests were increasingly aligned. While their measures inevitably soured Thailand's relationships with these countries in the short term, the Company was acutely aware of the long-term geopolitical advantages. They had meticulously calculated that the newfound alliance between Israel and Poland would serve greater regional stability and international strategic interests, outweighing the immediate diplomatic rift with Thailand. This nuanced decision demonstrated their deep understanding of global political dynamics and the necessary sacrifices for larger strategic objectives. Having scarifying three IAI Searcher 2 Mk3, they would be supplied with new branch of modern UAVs. The Reconnaissance Company would travel.

Each soldier in the division was outfitted with advanced personal gear, meticulously designed for the arid and rugged landscapes of the Middle Eastern terrain. Their equipment was not only durable but also adapted to the extreme temperatures characteristic of the region. The division's arsenal boasted state-of-the-art weaponry and defense systems, including advanced rifles with night vision capabilities and portable anti-drone systems. Their access to cutting-edge intelligence and communication technology, featuring encrypted satellite communication devices, gave them a significant strategic advantage. This technological edge, when combined with their rigorous, scenario-based training exercises, which included desert warfare and urban combat simulations, ensured that the Tatvan/Bitlis Division was adeptly prepared for a diverse array of operational contingencies. The base itself, a bastion of security, was fortified with advanced surveillance systems and drone patrols, and it boasted a fully operational logistics and support system. This infrastructure was crucial in maintaining the division's peak readiness and operational efficiency. The Tatvan/Bitlis Long Range Reconnaissance Company, renowned for its exceptional intelligence capabilities in the Middle East and often compared to the Mossad of Israel, had a critical mission.

Their enhanced reconnaissance capabilities were augmented by 2 × IAI Searcher Mk 3 drones, stationed at a secured airfield nearby for immediate deployment, plus 7 Elbit Hermes 450 drones, currently being delivered to their base in specialized containers. These drones, celebrated for their advanced surveillance capabilities, were crucial in providing real-time intelligence and situational awareness. In addition, the unit had access to a fleet of 20 × GAZ Vodnik vehicles. Each vehicle was armed with a formidable combination of 1 × 14.5 mm KPVT heavy machine gun and 1 × 7.62 mm PKT machine gun. This armament, tested and proven in various combat scenarios, ensured that the unit was well-prepared for any hostile engagements. The logistical needs of the unit, encompassing transportation, ammunition supply, and other support elements, were meticulously orchestrated by the Tatvan/Bitlis Service Support Regiment. This regiment, an assemblage of 900 rigorously trained personnel, operated a convoy of 135 × GAZ Sadko vehicles, each equipped with advanced navigation systems and reinforced for rugged terrain. This ensured efficient and uninterrupted logistical support for the reconnaissance unit. The strategic foresight in this arrangement emphasized their readiness and ability to counter any emergent threats or scenarios swiftly and effectively in the region, with a well-established supply line and quick-response capability.​

With the warning from the Ministry of National Defense, the lone Celestial-class frigate and the two reconnaissance ships carefully undock from the harbor at Port Said, utilizing the harbor master, and tug boats within, to extricate themselves from the busy harbor before they put into the high seas of the Mediterranean. Throughout the trip the ships wound monitor all surface radar, aerial radar, and sonar as they progressed to prevent themselves from damaging themselves from natural and man-made structures during the trip. The ships would carefully maintain their route to be outside of any territorial waters as they maneuvered outside of the EEZ of any countries they passed along the northern coast of Africa. They would bypass Italy and Sicily as they made their way to the Strait of Gibraltar to monitor ship traffic going to and from while also preventing outside warships from interfering with European relations.

The three Polish ships would ensure they maintained their distance from the territorial waters of any nation, except for France where they would refuel and replenish at Marseilles before continuing onto their destination. the ships would travel in a chevron formation with the Celestia-class Frigate as the lead ship with the two reconnaissance ships travelling on the wings. Once the ships arrived at the chosen position of 36.07929, -4.73921, which would be outside the territorial waters of Spain, British Gibraltar, and Morocco. While they were inside the EEZ, they were conducting a legitimate military exercise. The OKP Nawigator, a reconnaissance ship, would sail across the Strait to 35.94348, -6.06058. From this point the reconnaissance ship would monitor radio traffic and encrypted airwaves to identify foreign military vessels and then pass that information on to the OKP Gwiezdny. Utilizing the acoustic information garnered from previous incidents with Thai ships and known data, if a Thai or Canadian ship were sighted heading towards the Strait of Gibraltar from the Atlantic Ocean.

As the ships neared the port of Gdansk, the ships would cooperate with port authority and utilize tug boats located in the harbor to assist them to their births. Once fully docked, the ships would undergo replenishment and rearming to insure the ships are ready to deploy again should the need arise. Once the replenishment and rearming efforts were finished, crews of the ship would be granted a week long leave of duty on a staggered schedule to insure the ships were capable of hosting a skeleton crew at all times. Those that were granted Leave of Absence would return to their homes and vacation spots and be required to return to duty the day after the vacation ended.
