Yes, the ones who hijacked the Insight satellite signal were naturally Stark and Luca.
However, this process was not easy.
Initially, Tony wanted to directly hack into the three Helicarriers with Luca, controlling them to attack and destroy each other, thus resolving the crisis in Washington.
But when the two discovered that the servers inside the Helicarriers rejected any external data, and then switched their target to invade the Insight satellites, time was already running out.
This led to the three Helicarriers still launching their first wave of bombardment just before the satellite signal was hijacked.
"Damn it!"
Tony slammed his fist on the laptop, and the screen flickered with static.
Looking at the White House instantly turned into ruins in the video, Tony's eyes were filled with unsuppressable rage and powerlessness.
However, this was already the limit of what he and Luca could do at the moment.
Just interfering with the satellite to prevent the Insight from locking onto threat targets did not mean that the Helicarriers were useless.
In just a moment, the three Helicarriers on the screen began to slowly descend.
At the same time, on the decks of the Helicarriers, carrier-based fighter jets took off one after another.
"These bastards are changing their strategy!"
Over Washington, the three Helicarriers were no longer clustered together; instead, they dispersed, suppressing the entire airspace of Washington.
The massive Helicarriers, like three floating steel islands, aimed their deadly main cannons and dense anti-aircraft fire at the city's major transportation hubs, potential military strongholds that might resist, and any forces attempting to gather.
The carrier-based fighter squadrons roared as they took off, like a deadly swarm of Hive, beginning to patrol, bomb, and ruthlessly suppress the entire airspace, preventing any effective aerial counterattack or evacuation.
On the ground, government agencies that survived the first wave of bombardment were almost paralyzed.
Large numbers of HYDRA ground troops began to take over the entire city.
Among them were HYDRA Agents from the original S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as the Centipede Soldiers and mechanically modified soldiers previously controlled by HYDRA, and even a considerable number of Inhumans of various types controlled by Hive.
Clearly, HYDRA had temporarily abandoned the idea of precise targeting based on threat algorithms and instead intended to completely rely on military force to establish control.
And in a situation where the White House was destroyed and the entire Washington was leaderless, it seemed only a matter of time before HYDRA completely controlled the city.
"Satellite hijacking can only blind them, but it can't pull out their fangs! These bugs are still wantonly destroying!"
Tony looked at the scene on the screen, clenching his hands tightly, his fingernails digging deep into his palms, and streaks of blood spread from his fingertips.
Luca's face was equally grim, but his brain was rapidly weighing the situation.
"They've abandoned precise strikes and turned to full suppression.
Washington is sinking, but if we rush over now…"
Saying that, he glanced at the empty wasteland outside the porthole.
"Aside from being shot down by those anti-aircraft guns like two flies, it won't do any good."
"Besides, New York is closer, Captain and them are out of contact, and those madmen who escaped from prison are rampaging through the city! If we delay any longer, New York might rot faster than Washington!"
The current location of the 'plane crash' was in Pennsylvania; in fact, if there hadn't been an accident, they would have arrived in New York in about ten minutes.

Instead of trying to go to Washington to die, it would be better to rush to New York as soon as possible and meet up with Steve and them first.
Additionally, a more important point that Luca didn't voice was that while both New York and Washington were in chaos at the moment.
Compared to HYDRA, which sought to rule, the group of otherworldly invaders, who were only causing chaotic destruction, might actually cause more damage.
Tony naturally understood what Luca was saying.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, no longer looked at the tragic situation in Washington on the screen, and forced himself to turn his attention back to New York.
"Can't reach Captain, can't reach anyone… Jarvis, access cameras, videos, and satellite signals within New York.
I need to know the current situation in New York."
"Also, match Avengers member information and lock onto targets as soon as possible! Continue to try any possible way to call Steve, Natasha, or Banner!"
As Tony gave the command, the image on the computer screen immediately changed.
"Sir, the power system and network in New York City are largely paralyzed, and the damage caused by the prison escapees has begun to spread throughout New York, and the New York Police are organizing a counterattack."
In the images displayed by Jarvis, every street and alley was filled with New York Police wearing tactical goggles and holding 'Orderer' weapons, maintaining order and combating criminals.
Anyone causing trouble would receive an electromagnetic tranquilizer dart.
Thugs were instantly dealt with by ion rays.
And if it was a superpowered criminal, a dense barrage of ion decomposition spheres would be sent their way instantly.
Tony looked at Luca beside him with some surprise, but given the urgency of the situation, he didn't say much and just continued to ask Jarvis.
"What about Captain and them?"
"Sir, no Avengers member information has been locked onto in the existing footage."
Hearing Jarvis's report, Tony's face grew even grimmer.
He didn't believe that the Avengers members would do nothing when New York was in such chaos.
However, Jarvis had not found Steve and his group in the entire New York surveillance system and satellite surveillance.
Either they were truly unlucky and weren't filmed due to too many network outages, or…
Tony dared not think further.
But at this moment, Luca, who was beside him, suddenly stopped Jarvis's video playback.
"Jarvis, enlarge this image in the upper left corner."
Although Luca gave the command, with Jarvis's intelligence, he naturally wouldn't refuse at this moment and directly enlarged the surveillance image in the upper left corner of the screen to full screen.
And at this moment, in this image, in what seemed to be a corner of a factory building, a large group of plump, White inflatable robots were running out in neat rows.
Looking at the logo on these plump inflatable robots, Tony looked at Luca again.
"This is also an Orange Industries product."
"Hmm, medical robots, a project in cooperation with Harry's father, they should have been dispatched to assist with rescue efforts."
However, Luca only explained casually; he didn't ask Jarvis to cut the screen here just to see his own medical robots.
Luca pointed at the screen, at a naked male figure with snow-White skin and no discernible face, who looked particularly out of place among a group of White robots.
"Look here!"
