Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 286 Multi-Target Shooting

"We have 50 troops waiting there, right?" Kahan asked eagerly. In fact, he already knew that there were 50 troops there.

"Yes, there are four armies, tight defense. I don't believe the Chinese dare to launch a ground attack there."

"False political blackmail, complete blackmail, I will not give in, no, we will not give in, and the war will be over in a few days. They are finished, hehe, they have lost everything, and it must be complete now late."

Everyone looked at each other and listened to the Prime Minister talking to himself for a long time. It seemed that the Prime Minister's nagging recently seemed to be caused by too much pressure.

"If they do it in June, there is still a chance, that's right, that's it." Kahan looked around vigilantly, for fear that someone would interrupt him, "But now, it's the end of August, they don't have time, the victorious The balance has completely tipped in my favor. It's not the best, nor the worst, it's nothing more than being blackmailed by the Russians for some dollars, I admit it, I don't care, fuck his Petrov, this old fox."

"But your Excellency," Chandra finally interrupted Kahan very ignorantly, "it's not a matter of the Russians wanting to raise the price, it's that they don't have such production capacity at all. In fact, Russia is using five times provided us with ammunition from the Russian military stockpile, and soon...they will not be able to fulfill the order.”

"It's impossible...they need money, there's nothing money can't do."

"The general situation is exactly as judged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Right now, the air force has the most serious problem. All squadrons lack spare parts. This is more serious than the problem of ammunition." Singer bit the bullet and gave Chandra support. He hoped that something , Prime Minister had better know earlier.

"And the French? And the British?" Kahan asked, walking around the table.

"Our Su-30 troops, as well as the T90 troops, can only use Russian-made weapon systems. So, in fact, many second-line troops have already begun... how to put it, they have already begun dismantling aircraft."

"This is too bad."

Kahan shook his head and said that he felt that he was isolated like never before, which he had never felt before.Until then, his country had been the darling of the world, and the arsenals of all nations were open to her.As a professional politician, Kahan, like his predecessors, did not know much about modern industrial production, nor did he know much about the industrial system; he always took it for granted that arms production moved from one end of the assembly line to the other. It's so simple, I don't know how long the production cycle of modern weapons is.

"What about the Chinese?"

"They are still the same." Singer said with a shrug.

"What do you mean old-fashioned?"

"Chinese weapons production has always been a mystery. I must say that their military industry based on shameless imitation does rely very little on external parts, so intelligence analysis does not work. And they must be able to calculate our ammunition inventory , it’s actually not that difficult.”

"Yeah, they have been doing one thing for so many years, which is to prepare for war." The Prime Minister finally calmed down.

"Everything now depends on the battle in Quetta," Singer comforted. "Quetta is only a dozen kilometers away from the Afghan border. As long as we occupy it, we will win."

"Yes, send a telegram to General Spanga and tell him to attack violently," the Prime Minister said weakly.

To the north of the Siachen Glacier, two heavy fighter jets roared past again.After many trials that night, two more planes broke through to the disputed area, each time further south, seemingly designed to test Srinagar's air defense capabilities.

Srinagar, in the heart of Kashmir, used to cling to the India-Pakistan Line of Actual Control, which has been pushed farther west in recent months of fighting.But this border town is already heavily occupied.This is the headquarters of the entire northern front of India. It has twice as many troops as Spanga. It not only corresponds to the troops deployed by Pakistan in the north, but also copes with the pressure from the north. Although the Chinese are in this area China's ground force has never exceeded 2 brigades, but the strength of the Chinese Air Force has been growing rapidly, especially after the Air Force Staff Department transferred Xindan's Su-30 fighter jets to the south, and almost handed over air supremacy to the other side ; All the generals in the headquarters were a little worried, for fear that a precision-guided bomb would fall on their heads.

"Here we go again. We found a target intruding into the airspace. From north to west." In the underground headquarters, a new signal appeared on the radar screen. This is the sixth batch of invading Chinese fighter jets within 2 hours. They come every time. There are two planes, but they enter from different mountain passes, which makes people careless.

Lieutenant General Meneam, the commander of the Northern Military Region, sat in the low underground war room, waiting for the bombs to fall. He knew that the enemy would not keep probing. They probably did this to measure the position of the ground radar and the headquarters, and then they would Drop the bomb.

"What about the Air Force? They can't just do nothing?"

"The 51st Squadron has dispatched 4 fighter jets to intercept it."

"It's a ghost if you can stop it." The lieutenant general shook his head and said, he knew very well that the MiG 51s of the 21st Squadron would never be able to intercept any targets at night, they were just trying to embarrass themselves.

air.Two Chinese fighter planes made a turn in the air in Srinagar and flew directly towards the direction of *** Fort.Left behind enemy radar and about 4 MiG-21s.This flight successfully lured several fire control radars on the enemy's SAM 6 position to turn on, and at the same time played tricks on the Indians.But firing is still not the task of this formation.On the vertical display, a local fighter jet was flying from the Lekchin Valley at low altitude. According to the task assigned by the command plane, if the Indian MiG-21 crossed the Siachen Glacier, it would open fire immediately.Judging from the actual situation, the navigation capabilities of these Indian aircraft are close to zero at night, and it is difficult for Indian ground radars to give them full navigation in mountainous areas, so they will always fly over glaciers in a certain area, causing excuses. Almost inevitable.

Zheng Hui, who was flying at low altitude, could clearly see that under the lure of his comrades, the enemy was entering his 12 o'clock direction, a distance of about 40 kilometers; after 1 minute, the enemy formation would appear in a very ideal position, but the superior It is hoped that the wreckage of the enemy plane will fall on the north side of the glacier, so for the pilots, they are still a little bit tied.

This is the second time for Zheng Hui to fly into the air today. He likes this J-16 fighter because it is almost omnipotent, which is an experience he has never had on J-8 II fighters before.

All the troops involved in infiltration and harassment today come from the newly formed 109th Aviation Brigade of the Air Force. This is a brigade organization that has never appeared in the Air Force before. For early warning aircraft, all pilots come from the top of the troops.The Air Force realized a long time ago that a division-level unit composed solely of fighter jets is difficult to continue to adapt to the new warfare model, but like all peacetime troops, organizational reform is always slow and difficult.The sudden war brought about a change in things.Because the headquarters suddenly discovered that the Chinese Air Force hadn't fought for a long time, and there was bound to be a top-notch unit to fight and explore first.Thus, as a necessary step to adapt to the war, the 109th Brigade was born. This brigade included a fighter brigade and a fighter-bomber brigade, as well as an independent air security unit.And Zheng Hui, as a rare "ace" in the army with a record of shooting down in actual combat, naturally occupied the core position, including throwing satellite bombs and this interception mission, which was completed by him after the team.

The 4 enemy fighter planes were flying close to the ridge, completely ignoring that an early warning plane over Karakoram was staring at them. Maybe these lagging planes didn't have decent warning equipment at all.

Zheng Hui quietly pulled up the plane, adjusted the speed and altitude, and was already in the shooting position.He climbed to the height of the mountain pass (about 5000 meters), the radar quickly captured all four enemy planes, the enemy's neat formation did not show any changes, it seemed that they really did not notice the radar scan.

"Yangtze River, we saw enemy planes, they haven't crossed the glacier yet. But the opportunity is good, please attack immediately."

A major general of the Air Force on the early warning aircraft was a little embarrassed, which was not consistent with the attack conditions explained by the headquarters, but he also knew very well that if he hesitated, these enemy planes would soon run out of fuel and turn back.

"Shooting allowed."

"clear."

Zheng Hui was overjoyed. He knew that he was lucky. As far as the statistics are concerned, there is actually no difference between a Su-30 and a MiG-21.Maybe soon I will surpass the J-10 pilot who fought in southern Pakistan.

The radar quickly distributed beam energy to all four enemy planes, which were flying in a diamond formation, very densely packed, ideal for medium-range rounds.In the next attack, it will be difficult for the enemy plane to escape from the 120-degree field of view of the radar.As far as Zheng Hui knows, in the history of air combat in the last 30 years, there are many examples of using semi-active missiles to conduct side-tracking and scanning attacks. However, in the era without phased array radar, such multi-target attacks often only shoot down one The use of active radar-guided weapons to shoot at four targets in salvo is unheard of in the world, let alone the Chinese Air Force. Although many third-generation aircraft have such capabilities, most of them When facing a formation of fighter jets of the same level, pilots will choose one-on-one tracking to ensure that at least one is shot down.

He took a deep breath, then lowered his head and activated all 8 SD10 missiles on the weapon panel. The weapon operator in the rear seat was responsible for distinguishing the targets of the missiles and tuning the active radar frequency of the missiles so that the missiles could be received simultaneously after launch. reflected radar signal.When he looked up, all four enemy aircraft's measurements on the HUD had appeared, including altitude, distance, and angular velocity.This is simply an attack under ideal conditions. The enemy's own battlefield awareness is close to zero, and there is no support from early warning aircraft and data links.He couldn't help thinking: How dare they go up into the sky at night with their eyes smeared?
After a long wait, the weapons in the rear seat were displayed vertically, and the green signals of the weapons being ready appeared one by one. There were eight groups in total, which indicated that the missile’s gyro navigation equipment had started to power up and its own battery had also started to work independently.

"The interception is complete. The safety is released, and the missiles will be launched in order."

"clear."

Zheng Hui pulled the launch trigger, and 8 missiles were launched one after another at intervals of 1.5 seconds.He knew that this shooting would obviously set many records in the history of the Chinese Air Force, but now was not the time to think about it. He stabilized the plane to ensure that the radar continued to provide stable target information to the flying missiles.The only problem now is that there is a 9-second interval between the first missile flying away and the last missile launching, so there must be some Indian pilots who still have to make some moves.
