Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 28 Trailing
"Major, we're in trouble."

Colonel Sami found the data link transmission button and transmitted the coordinates of the three enemy planes to the multi-function display of the No. 3 plane. The two planes could not exchange encrypted data with the ground command system of the Pakistan Air Force or the early warning aircraft. , but the two machines can still transmit some information to each other through the data link.Now, without turning on the radar, Song Ning saw three planes slowly moving from 02 o'clock to 3 o'clock. He was faced with a choice, either continue to fly forward, or escape.

"We can turn right at lower altitude and get away from them, Colonel; since the formation has been spotted on the ground, it's better to let your colleagues solve it."

"But the position was so ideal, they were literally knocked under the gun."

"Maybe we can fly back to the airport, we can't engage anyway,"

"Major, this is just an over-the-horizon air battle. We just need to maintain the current route, wait for them to fly over the head, secretly occupy the attack position in the azimuth on the right, and press the launch button, and the matter will be over." Sami lightly He said that Song Ning also knew that things were roughly like this. Of course, what he didn't know was that Colonel Sammy was eager to fight for another reason. He was worried that the three phantoms hiding in the low altitude were aimed at Husab Go to the heavy water factory.The colonel knew that a few days ago, the headquarters had transferred all the F3s of the Griffin Squadron stationed in Sargoda all the year round to the north for firefighting. Perhaps it seemed to the headquarters that the Husab heavy water plant in the central part was a secret, but now The defense in that area is very empty, of course he can't say these words to Song Ning.

"No, no, I can't do this, I can't participate in the battle." Song Ning vetoed the colonel's intention, and he also couldn't express all his thoughts, because he was worried that the air call would be monitored, and if it was leaked because of too many words What a tell, the opponent's intelligence department may judge that there are foreign fighter jets in the warring area.

"Major, you don't know how fragile a plane that penetrates into enemy territory is. The pilot has no time to worry about the enemy's situation in all directions. This is a good opportunity to attack."

"I'm very clear about this, I know the position is very good. But...but" Song Ning wanted to refute Sammy, but he found that he seemed to be persuaded by Sammy.The current situation is not easy to encounter. Many pilots enter the battlefield for the first time, just like the three planes on the radar, pointing their butts at others without realizing it; sitting in a fighter pilot, it is difficult for him to resist such a situation. Chance.

"Black spider leader, I can't do this, it's discipline." Song Ning said while looking at the latest updated distance. The three Indian fighter jets are 100 kilometers away, almost directly in front of his own nose. , and I am in their 3 o'clock direction, the distance is a bit far away, but the opportunity is absolutely rare.

"This is an encounter. We have no better choice. If we turn, we will be in danger. Think about it."

"Tell me about your plan." Song Ning said.

"Secretly occupy the place 30 kilometers behind them, shoot a volley, and then we will leave." The colonel's words made it difficult for Song Ning to resist.

"...if we don't get into a dogfight."

"Don't worry, Major. After the missiles attack, they will be frightened. They won't be able to see your emblem, I promise." Colonel Sami said, he actually knew what Song Ning was worried about.

"you promise?"

"I promise. Now let's pursue with afterburner, or it will be too late." After the colonel finished speaking, he pushed the throttle valve to the afterburner state.

"I can only stay on the sidelines and observe, not participate in the attack."

"Okay, you don't need to intervene, I will solve it alone." The colonel replied.

Song Ning went all out. If he wants to convince himself, he will always find a reason. Since this is Pakistan's jumping zone, it is impossible for India to grasp all the circumstances.Moreover, the task assigned domestically is to collect combat information, and the combat itself is also part of the information.

"Major, you don't need to fire, but we have to turn on the radar alternately, so that they can't detect the tracking. The electronic systems of these French products are very effective."

"Received." Song Ning looked down at the monitor, the target speed update disappeared, the colonel had already turned off the radar, he knew that Colonel Samy was a ghost, he was worried that a radar tracking for too long would cause the other party's radar warning system to go off vigilance.So he turned on the radar power of No. 02 aircraft, and then began to track.

The speed quickly reached 1000 kilometers per hour, and the J-10 formation began to turn right.The enemy planes have entered the range of the J-10's medium-range missiles, but they still haven't used radar tracking, because Sami thinks the distance is still too far. His No. 01 aircraft only has two medium-range missiles. The colonel hopes that the first wave of attack will at least shoot down If an enemy plane enters the tracking state in a hurry, the enemy's radar warning system will immediately remind the pilot to respond.

"Major, do you know why the Air Force Staff didn't introduce your medium-range missiles?" On the radio, the colonel suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the engagement.

"How do I know, I don't participate in foreign trade negotiations."

"Huh, because this missile has Israeli technology, and part of our funding depends on Saudi Arabia."

"I don't know how you look at it this way." Song Ning wanted to laugh a little, because the answer was absurd, but the huge overload when turning made him unable to laugh. He had to hold his throat quickly and pressurize his air. Add some extra blood pressure to the head.

"Well now, your missiles will prove their worth through an actual battle." The colonel said.

60 kilometers away, Lieutenant Matanga of the 1st (Tiger) Squadron of the Indian Air Force sat nervously in the cabin. He had already discovered some bad signs. There was always a strange radio radiation source behind the side of his Mirage 2000 formation. For 2 minutes, he has been paying attention to the radar warning system. The altitude of this sporadic pulse source is very low, and it has been changing between the X and L bands, and no tracking has been formed. However, in the last 40 seconds, the intensity has been increasing. This is an ominous sign.The captain also noticed that the scan period of the radiation source was very short, not like a mechanical scanning radar, nor like a ground radar from the perspective analysis.

In the briefing room an hour ago, the intelligence officer of the No. 1 Squadron assured the pilots that there would be no Pakistani early warning aircraft appearing nearby in this sneak attack. The action of the AWACS is regular, they are all attracted to the north, so now is the time to implement the "Hurricane" plan.However, the current situation seems to be that the situation is not as good as the intelligence agency assured.

"Tiger 2, pay attention to the radar beam at 5 o'clock. I think something is wrong."

"Tiger 1, I saw it too, it may be an early warning aircraft hundreds of kilometers away."

"They promised that today's mission will not be a big trouble, how to do it? Tiger 3, prepare for electronic suppression."
