Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 298
The pilot of the J-[-]BS continued to illuminate calmly.He waited for another plane to strike.The remaining ammunition of the two planes is not enough to completely destroy this long-drawn convoy, but if these hated artillery can be blocked here, we can slowly find a way.

On the display, a dazzling light spot has been closely following the leading military vehicle, which is a heavy truck without artillery, followed by an artillery side vehicle, and the third vehicle is a communication relay The car, and the ones that followed, were all Jeeps.This probably shows that the headquarters is at the forefront of the convoy.The leading truck only maintained a speed of less than [-] kilometers per hour. It can be seen that the infantry walking back and forth next to it is faster than it. There are motorcycles and infantry clearing the way in front of it, and they are not considered in the attack. up.Now these vehicles are in a state of bewilderment. They should have never conducted night-time mountain maneuver training, and they are a little confused.All the armies in the world will not be mobilized at night on such harsh terrain. This is really a very exciting thing, but seeing the threat in the air is approaching step by step.

The pilot in the back seat tracked the target steadily. Such a speed is very ideal for the bomb. Of course, he knew very well that even if he missed it, he could still destroy it on the road around the mountain. The actual effect was the same.Out of the line of sight of the + sub closely following the target, a tiny object flashed, and then a 20kg bomb hit the truck. It was so powerful that the truck was blown into powder. Mi's sidecar rolled off the road and fell off a cliff.At the same time, the explosion collapsed the huge rocks on one side of the mountain and blocked the entire road. This is the purpose of this attack.The pilot has fully learned the lesson just now, and he did not pick his eyes out in front of a large number of targets. He attacked the first target rationally, and now all the enemies are unable to fly.

The Indian soldiers jumped out of the trucks and ran to the back. Another J-1BS attacked the last truck in the convoy about [-] minute later.The huge explosion completely blocked the convoy [-] kilometers apart on the winding and twisting road around the mountain.Except for people who can barely escape, any equipment is already immobile.

"Kunlun, we have already destroyed the leading enemy." The pilot reported that he had been staring at the four LCA fighters that were gradually approaching, and they could have reached 4 kilometers away at the first time. Obviously, there was something wrong with the enemy's intelligence collection. The four LCA fighter jets Radar has not posed any threat to the formation.

"Continue to attack ground targets, and hand over the interception mission to teammates." said the command plane calling Kunlun. Her instructions were difficult for the pilot to understand, because the enemy below has become a turtle in the urn, and now it is free to let all the planes launch a round. Use the bullets to deal with the enemies below.Maybe, he just wanted Su-27SK to show off.However, this is not a simple early warning aircraft, but a command aircraft with a major general in command, so it must follow the instructions without compromise.

"I see a special target." The weapon operator in the back seat, who has been using the night vision pod to check the entire convoy, found a possible target in the convoy.

The artillery towed behind a vehicle is taking off its cover. It is not a large-caliber howitzer, but a single-barrel towed anti-aircraft gun. One, that is an old-fashioned 40mm anti-aircraft gun.

"There are anti-aircraft weapons in the enemy column, please pay attention to the formation." The pilot watched the artillery slowly put down the cross-shaped base from the marching state, and the Indian soldiers moved very slowly. It may be due to the night, or it may be the manual movement of running, sitting, and supporting. The jack is too cumbersome to operate.

"He is preparing to shoot, and he will be ready in about a minute."

said the pilot.He didn't want to climb to avoid such an insignificant threat. He bet the enemy couldn't see him at all, which can be seen from the fact that their barrels were turning in the wrong direction, and he didn't see this anti-aircraft gun. The radar system, the radar warning system, also showed no ground threat.

"Please resolve the anti-aircraft firepower first."

"Do as you wish."

"We have to wait." The weapon operator interjected. He was too focused on aiming, making the laser exposure time too long. Now the launcher needs to cool down for a while.

The fighter plane drew a shallow arc in the air. The pilot glanced at the position of the approaching enemy formation, and then stared at the slanted horizon of the construction site to control the attitude.The pilot in the back seat cools off the laser irradiator and takes aim a second time.On the common channel of the radio station, two Su-2SKs are coordinating to adjust the time to attack. The enemy aircraft formation should have noticed it, because the LCA formation began to turn. The determination to fight should disband the dense formation, leaving at least one fighter plane to observe the battlefield with radar head-on, instead of turning and fleeing together.

"I bet they're going to slip and we're out of the game," the pilot said.He felt that the companion driving the Su-27 did not have a good chance.

"Please keep flying steadily." The pilot in the back seat has been aiming steadily, waiting to drop the bomb.

A 250kg bomb fell from the sky and blasted the 40mm anti-aircraft gun directly down the cliff.

Two Su-2SKs have been separated from the attack formation and turned to perform separate interception missions.The pilot was trying to confuse the enemy aircraft flying in the tangential direction of the radar pulse. This enemy aircraft was small in size, almost as big as the J-27. For the old-fashioned mechanical scanning radar, it was not easy to capture such a target.When the enemy plane passed the 7 o'clock direction, the light spots on the vertical display changed from 12 to 4, then to 3, and finally disappeared. This radar did not perform miracles under the opponent's typical evasive actions. It gradually lost its ranging ability.As in training, the pilot remains on a general bearing, waiting for a change in relative angle.After the enemy aircraft reappeared, they began to change the radar status from scanning to one-on-one tracking, and tried to adjust the pulse repetition rate. The formation of the enemy aircraft was still 2 aircraft.This shows that either the command of the lead plane on the opposite side is very dull, or the radar warning of the LCA has identified that the opponent's radar is relatively backward and cannot launch multi-target shooting on them.

The wingman of the Su-27SK first intercepted the target. He requested an immediate attack, and then immediately launched two R2M missiles to shoot at an enemy plane 77 kilometers away.The formation of enemy planes was flying together south, apparently undetected, but this also made the missile pursuit difficult.While stabilizing the plane to track the enemy, the pilot asked the command plane to let them go after them.The command plane resolutely rejected this request, and shooting down enemy planes deep into the hinterland is not the focus of this mission.This frustrates the pilot who is eager to fight. He knows that the light plane flew from near New Delhi. They should have no fighting spirit. They turned back to fight, and the fuel should be tight. That is to say, if the two R40 missiles No shot down, today they will go home empty-handed.

At the same time, the attack on the FH77 howitzer convoy is well underway.The powerless convoy could only let the bombs fall from the sky to blow up these expensive weapons one by one.The J-16 fighter-bombers in the formation got permission from the command plane and fired all the bombs at the original target. These simple and cheap satellite-guided bombs flew towards the original target-the enemy's artillery positions in the mountains, although there were no artillery there. , but this carefully measured position and the surrounding road facilities are still of high value, and it is completely worth destroying it with cheap bombs.Once this position is lost, the enemy's artillery will also lose the ability to quickly deploy in this area. Even if the Indian Northern Military Region still has a large number of self-propelled artillery, it can theoretically be deployed quickly in shallow and deep areas; Tricks on the GPS.No matter how modern the firepower group is, once it loses its advanced positioning capabilities, the ground support operations on the artillery side will return to the ancient times, probably not much better than in World War II.

The huge ammunition load and air time of the J-11BS fighter jets made the Indian artillery battalion unable to advance or retreat like hell. The two planes tilted the bombs in turn, and the enemy convoy like a long snake was divided into several sections, and each section of the convoy was burning. Although most of the artillery was still preserved, they were destined to be trapped in this Duan could not move on the cliff.

The command plane called the formation to retreat, and the tactical goal arranged by the superior has been fully achieved.This series of blows is enough to become a nightmare for the Indian Army. The Indian generals will soon find that the sky above their heads has been opened, and the air force is simply unable to guard the north.

The 4 fighter-bombers returned along the same route, and the 2 Su-27SK continued to monitor the movements of the Indian Air Force.The previous medium-range projectile shooting ended without a problem because the distance was too large. The enemy aircraft group didn't even notice that they were following them, and escaped safely.The feeling of falling short of success is really frustrating for the pilot. Although it is more normal to miss the target than to hit the target in medium-range projectile shooting, because these attacks are often influenced by chance, but failed attacks will inevitably lead to Makes pilot confidence frustrated.

"It's a pity. If we let us pursue it, at least we can take down one." The pilot said.His radar tracked the enemy formation all the way to the southern edge of Kashmir before finally losing its target.

"This mission is already perfect. It cannot be too demanding. If you go too deep, the electronic interference will attenuate to a dangerous level." , there are more things to consider.

"Maybe next time they will send Rafale fighters. It will not be easy to shoot them down."

"Don't be discouraged, there are plenty of opportunities." The commander comforted.He noticed that the enemy's tracking radars in the mountains became active again as the EW planes moved away.

The command plane slowly flew over the mountains at an altitude of 7500 meters. Due to the special geographical reasons in this area, it was difficult for the early warning plane to see the situation in the south at any time. The commander reminded the early warning plane to climb a certain distance to avoid the high mountains.After the plane leveled off, a cluster of light spots suddenly appeared on the screen. They were sneaking close to the two broken Su-2sks. It can be seen that it was a formation of at least 27 fighters, but it was definitely not the LCA formation that fled in a hurry. , Even from the old sneak attack action, it is much stronger than the previous formation.

"Move two or three times, beware of the high-speed target approaching at 5 o'clock."

"Kunlun, what's the matter?"

"MiG 29. Formation of 4 planes. Quickly speed up and get rid of it, don't turn around and get entangled." The command plane shouted.He found that the enemy was close enough to fire.
