Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 241 National Hero
The J-11 fighter jets, dragging thick smoke, were struggling to fly westward. Liu Zhaolin felt as if he had collapsed and was breathing rapidly.

The ground command kept reminding him to pay attention to the heading and fuel.Song Ning would remind him every minute that he should parachute if necessary. It is not easy to land a damaged fighter plane on an airport surrounded by mountains at night, but Liu Zhaolin still stubbornly chose to drive the fighter plane back, because It seemed to him that the battle was just a draw.

The fighter jet detected the unique radar signal of the HQ9 missile in the nearby mountainous area. He estimated that this should be the main reason why the Indian fighter jets did not dare to go deep.

"Move the crutches, pay attention to the fuel level, I remind you again, don't force it."

"Understood. The plane is in good condition." Head Liu said.Relying on the balance of the flight control, the aircraft can barely be controlled.He has encountered the danger of parking with one engine before, so he still has some confidence.

"Is there any problem with the landing gear?"

Liu Zhaolin looked down at the instrument:
"No problem for now."

"Old Song, you were right in not choosing to fight Gust." Liu Zhaolin said. "The circling and climbing of the gust are much stronger than the Mirage 2000."

Song Ning heard Liu Zhaolin's implication, as if his J-11 could not overwhelm the enemy plane, and his own J-10 could not fight it.

"We don't have the experience of fighting this new aircraft, but I have a Pakistani colonel next to me who thinks that you shouldn't be fighting that aircraft at low altitude, let alone think it's a Mirage 2000. "Song Ning said.

"Colonel? Who the hell is he? He wasn't in the air just now."

"Regimental Commander Liu, Colonel Sami shot down our division commander during the exercise. He is well aware of some weaknesses of J-11 fighters against light fighters."

"He thinks only the J-10 fighter can fight the Rafale?"

"Your entry height is too low. Pull it up a little bit. Be careful of the crosswind." Song Ning changed the subject, he didn't want to talk about these topics that would easily distract Liu Zhaolin on the radio; but in his opinion, it had nothing to do with flying bags Compared with the line gap, the generation difference between the J-11 and the Rafale's radar electronic system is more significant, so the only J-10 fighter that can overwhelm the Rafale at present.

"I see the runway."

"Is the landing gear lowered?" Song Ning asked, he was always worried that the landing gear would not be able to be lowered due to the battle damage.

"Let it go, no problem."

Song Ning watched the plane with one engine staggered and landed on the runway. Two fire trucks parked at the end of the runway rushed up to prevent the plane from catching fire, but it seemed that there was no need. Liu Zhaolin's landing was not bad.Song Ning thought that heavy-duty aircraft do have advantages, and they can still drive back after the engine is stopped.

Hindustan state television in New Delhi.The new episode of "National Heroes" is being recorded. As the war is rapidly approaching victory, the ratings of this show promoting Indian combat heroes and advanced equipment have always been at the forefront. Today is the 14th episode.

In front of the camera, the unsmiling host Dr. Lani was sitting in danger, waiting for the director's gesture to start the broadcast.

"...The people of the country who are watching the war in front of the TV. The new issue of National Heroes has met you. Every day we receive thousands of emails, hoping to learn more about the recent achievements of our air force, so today We've got another ace pilot."

The camera pauses briefly on Captain Dabrini's face before reverting back to the presenter.

"For the past thirteen episodes, we have introduced our invincible fighters and their most advanced fighter jets and tanks. The pilot who is here today, he flies a kind of aircraft that you have never heard before. The latest fighter. Allow me to introduce: he is Colonel Dabrini of Shark Squadron."

With the passionate march, the camera fell on the expressionless Colonel Dabrini again, and behind the colonel was a huge background of Rafale fighter jets.Colonel Dabrini immediately smiled at the camera. Although he was very dissatisfied with his superiors forcibly transferring him here from the front line to participate in this kind of program, the scenes on the scene still had to be performed; now all the Indian armed forces have set their sights on In the future, who can win more funds and equipment in the future competition pattern has become the focus of a new round of wrestling.Dr. Lani's program is extremely popular, and it is obviously an ideal stage to attract attention; after three consecutive interviews with the T90 commander, the Air Force Staff finally couldn't sit still, and the final outcome of all parties' coordination was Colonel Dabrini I took a Boeing 737 aircraft of the Air Force Special Service Squadron and came here from Joule Butte.

"Colonel, we just learned that your new aircraft shot down two fighters in the latest battle, is that true?"

"The results of the battle have not been confirmed, but this is what we saw from the radar of the early warning aircraft. The enemy plane disappeared on the radar screen."

Standing behind the camera, Lujad Nahan, Director of the Office of the Ministry of National Defense, frowned slightly. Such an ambiguous answer was not what he wanted.However, since the squadron leader Dabrini is a fairly high-ranking officer, he did not stop the filming of the face-to-face lecture.

"How far did you shoot them down?"

"About 15 kilometers, when they flew close to the mountain, this kind of flight distracted the Thunder fighter pilot's attention. I think this is why they didn't notice my radar tracking."

"My God, it's lightning again?" Dr. Lani paused. In his memory, this was an outrageously backward plane.

"Hehe, it seems that they really let young people sit in this cheap plane without long-range missiles to die." The doctor said frivolously.In his previous interviews, he had an idea - the pros and cons of a fighter jet mainly depend on the range of the weapon, so he was full of disdain for the Raiden fighter jet.

"As far as I know, Raiden's Bock 2 can launch a medium-range missile made in China." The colonel couldn't help explaining.He has not yet fully realized that the main function of this program is only a strong advertisement for the government to promote war bonds, and it does not need in-depth discussion.

"If you haven't forgotten, Captain Goya of the Eagle Squadron flew a Su-30 fighter jet and shot down two enemy planes in one battle." The doctor said about Goya.The corners of Colonel Dabrini's mouth turned up slightly, but the camera didn't capture it. "The Rafale, like the Su-2, is also a very powerful fighter."

"In the Air Force, we call the Rafale a 4.5-generation aircraft. It is a real all-rounder and can perform tasks that cannot be completed by a heavy fighter squadron." The colonel added, and by the way, he slightly dismantled the corner of the Su-30 unit.

"Um...the Pakistanis will definitely not be able to get anything close to the 4.5th generation aircraft from the Chinese arsenal, is it true?"

"I think so. At this moment, my comrades-in-arms are fighting the enemy armed with Chinese planes in the south, and perhaps new achievements will appear soon." The colonel said, for reasons of confidentiality, the Air Force Staff He was asked to conceal the main deployment direction of this type of fighter jet on TV, so he only mentioned fighting in the south.

"Is it possible to understand that the Pakistanis have found the wrong backer? China's industry is based on an imitation system, so it cannot produce the most advanced weapons, which is exactly different from ours."

The colonel didn't know how the doctor came to such a conclusion all of a sudden. He felt that his previous words seemed hard to relate to this aspect; of course, Dr. Lani has always been good at talking nonsense, which he had heard before.

"As far as I know, the Americans wanted to sell us the F16, which was rejected by the Air Force, which means it is stronger than the F16?"

"In fact, it is stronger than our Su-30MKI. Future wars will prove this." The colonel said decisively, and he almost directly challenged the Eagle Squadron.

"Is that so?" The doctor was astonished. Ever since he interviewed Goya, he always believed that the Su-100 fighter jet that could attack targets 30 kilometers away was invincible.

"That is to say, in Asia, our air force maintains an unchallenged technological advantage as always?" asked the doctor.

"Er... I think it's fair to say that," said the colonel, after a moment's hesitation.He thought, since he was on this program advocating India's invincibility, he shouldn't take it too seriously.

"I know that our program can be watched overseas. So I want to emphasize here that if a certain northern country dares to provoke our air force..." Dr. Lani looked directly at the camera with a stern gaze, and then paused for a long time, "Then , she must have miscalculated; I am here to sincerely advise that country not to try... OK! After the advertisement, please come back..."

After the valiant march, the 5-minute advertisement for war bonds began to air.

Xu Jingzhe sat in the exercise director's room, watching the clips of the 14th issue of "National Heroes". This program is not a live broadcast, and the official broadcast time will be 20 hours later; however, through a special channel, the major general can watch it in advance.Of course, Dr. Rani's program has no intelligence value and can only be used to interpret India's domestic political trends, but there seem to be some exceptions today. It seems that a lot can be interpreted from the colonel of the shark squadron.The pilot who attacked the Snow Mountain radar station not long ago belonged to the Shark Squadron. It seems that the squadron has been transferred to the south and equipped with new equipment. Is this a false information deliberately released by India?Judging from the intelligence comparison, the Shark Squadron has indeed partially replaced with less than 9 Rafale fighter jets, but the intelligence also shows that the deployment of the Shark Squadron is aimed at China.This kind of flying legal fighter has a long range and superior breakthrough capability, and will pose a threat to the important deep targets of XZ and even XJ and Qinghai.
