A super-performing Russian drone proved its stealth capacity by passing the USA before it could be detected, but crashed in Mongolia. The team is dispatched, under proviso no official recognition can be given, to retrieve it or at least find out its anti-radar coating, before the Russian Spetnaz get to it. They win the confidence of local steppe nomads by nursing a wounded youngster, but learn the drone actually fell over the Chinese border. Still Top volunteers to race against the Russians and the Chinese, but offline for maximal deniability and minimal traceability, which HQ optimizes by a ploy, deceiving ambassador Dmitri Gromyko.
