Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 412 Showdown
Nowadays, it is actually easier said than done to rely on a low-altitude breakthrough to attack such a deep target?Although there are ravines and ravines in this area, the defensive side can still predict the possible route of the enemy and make deployments by judging the direction of the mountains. Especially this work has been done for 3 months.

When the first missile rose over the mountain ridge, it was intercepted by an oncoming 35mm twin anti-aircraft gun.The deployment area of ​​the troops faces south and has a wider view.In particular, early warning was obtained (30 seconds in advance), and its tracking equipment was always aimed at the direction in which the predicted target was approaching, thus obtaining up to ten seconds of time, using the photoelectric tracking equipment to steadily track and measure the missile flying close to the ridge. distance.Then the two twin artillery guns started firing at the same time. The shooting process was quite short, and the near-bomb curtain covering the sky over the ridge soon destroyed the manual observation of the optical equipment.However, the missile had also been hit by nearby shrapnel, crashing into the hill like an out-of-control fire.It was too late to reload, and the new warning order had been issued in advance, and the gunner adjusted the gun to the original position, waiting for the ensuing enemy plane to hit it.

The second cruise missile took a different path.India's surveying and mapping of the mountains in this area is slightly more detailed than that of southern Pakistan, so it can formulate two completely different routes, which has achieved the best effect of using this missile to strike - two missiles attack from different directions at the same time With the same target, such an attack can often make the opponent's air defense system in a hurry.Most of the short-range air defense positions can carry out limited multi-target strikes under the radar guidance, but it is difficult to coordinate the distribution of targets during TV tracking. Fortunately, this plan has just gone bankrupt.

When the colonel was making the plan, he had hoped to launch as many Scarp missiles as possible to carry out a saturation attack, at least to consume a large amount of the enemy's ammunition, but most of the limited dozens of Scarp missiles that had been delivered had already been destroyed. It was launched into the barren eastern region of Iran, which is also an important reason why the entire attack cannot be carried out completely outside the defense zone.

The second missile came from farther east, and its route has not been exposed, so it simply bypassed Medog's air defense system. This route is lower, and it does not directly cross the east-west ridge, but goes around A big circle, winding into Nyingchi, any radar-guided missiles are powerless against it.But the radar on the snow mountain is too high. In the final stage, the missile must be exposed from the mountains and fly directly to the target.

The air defense positions launched two Hongqi 2 missiles to intercept them one after another, but the stealth design of the Scap missiles caused the radar to miss the target several times, and the missiles, which were the backbone of the eastern defense, were swayed past.Seeing the flash of light rising from the mountains, it came straight to the radar.

The last line of defense on the snowy mountain—the Land Shield system, has been quietly waiting for an opportunity. The search radar on the command vehicle has found the target, but two Hongqi missiles still chasing in the air interfered with the radar tracking. Fortunately, the target is still far away. And without cover, the commander quickly switched to TV observation, and the shooter carefully moved the joystick to aim.

The 7-tube cannon placed on the leveling trailer began to move slowly, constantly adjusting the height and horizontal angle to adapt to the change of the target's route. The target was always climbing, which made it not fast.A second later, the 7-barrel cannon began to rotate rapidly, which was the final preparation before shooting.It uses a DC motor to drive the launch, which is naturally much faster than the previous ones that were fired by air-guided automatic methods.

At a distance of about 3 kilometers, the artillery began to spit out terrifying flames. It fired an astonishing amount of ammunition at a speed of more than 5000 rounds per minute. While shooting, the hot shell casings rolled down the platform like a waterfall.

The Scarp missile was directly hit by continuous kinetic energy ammunition, and quickly began to fall after losing one wing. A Hongqi 64 missile that arrived belatedly also hit the falling missile and detonated it .The commander of the air defense force who saw this scene on the top of the mountain was grateful, but also worried. There might be some trouble in calculating the results of the battle in the future.

The command has been warning all air defense units in the area that enemy stealth cruise missiles will be the greatest threat and that passive sensors must be at the ready.However, what the command has not told these troops is that the intelligence department has confirmed that there are only 2 such missiles left in the Indian arsenal, and now the Indians have shot them all out.

Colonel Dabrini, who was approaching at subsonic speed, knew very well that he and other comrades in arms were close to death today.He didn't know if those cruise missiles hit him, he just knew that the radar was still working.A few months ago, he was able to successfully destroy the radar with two old MiG-2s, but today the situation is not that simple. He knows the efficiency of the Chinese after a loss. There was enough time for them to lay down strong enough interception firepower in this barren area, but he had no choice for this mission. This seemed to be the only way to reverse the enemy's air superiority.

Judging from the huge monitor, the two wingmen on the left wing have already launched an attack first. They took a relatively short path and almost followed the path of the first missile. This is obviously a very unwise choice, because the enemy's The guns were bound to be aimed at the mountain pass, but the attack required some bravery to attract the attention of the enemy, otherwise there was no chance of success.

As soon as a Rafale was pulled up, it was seen by the radar 170 kilometers away.He flew to the northeast in fear, staring at the commanding heights in front of him, and suddenly saw a burst of smoke rising from the bushes, and the pilot's wingman made a series of dazzling movements to dodge.

The barrage ejected by the four 4mm machine guns barely missed the sensitive plane that was flying in the air, and saw it run out of range.However, the two avant-garde missiles on the launch pad have also completed heat source tracking.

The Rafale pilot heard someone remind him on the radio that there were 2 missiles in hot pursuit.Immediately he made a rolling motion, looking down without slowing down.He saw a trailing missile flying towards him.He immediately plunged down the mountain and evaded it with heat source interference, seeing the situation getting more and more dangerous.

Every valley here could have lethal anti-aircraft weapons deployed, and climbing under the nose of that radar was clearly asking for death.

Dabrini could hear the nervous calls of his wingmen. At this moment, he hadn't been exposed, and he was still flying against the sun, but he obviously guessed the tightness of the enemy's defense.He squinted his eyes and saw that there was another fireball beside the dazzling Asahi in front of him. It was the volley explosion of the ground missile launched from Tespur as promised, and it was obviously intercepted by some anti-missile weapon they deployed in the rear defense.The Chinese have put a lot of thought into this dense defense system, and the core of the entire system is the phased array radar.

In the headquarters in Sichuan, the targets of the Indian Rafale fighter jets discovered one after another have been determined.The commander couldn't help but stood up nervously, he didn't know what would happen in the end.Although a few hours ago, someone had assured him that the radar was safe and that the invading enemy never returned.

According to the new intelligence update, the two land missiles launched by India have been intercepted by an S2 system on the Indian side, but this is only a link, and it can be seen that the enemy has spent a lot of money on this attack, and it is bound to win.

The Indian MiG 29K attacking the Jabwa Airport was obviously just a feint. They did not dare to go deep into the sky over Jabwa, nor did they fire any weapons outside the defense zone.Maybe the enemy has learned from the crazy airport repairs at night that the Chinese came with engineers this time, so they gave up using weak weapons to destroy the airport sporadically. They are sure that the key to the entire battlefield right now is The CCP’s condescending radar.

The communication with the headquarters has been interrupted. Dabrini led a wingman to cross a canyon at a height of 100 meters. Although the height was so low, he still encountered an incredible radar pulse head-on, and the alarm sounded loudly. It is obviously a blind-filling radar deployed by the enemy in an important blind spot.At this moment, he couldn't lower his head to check the panel, but shouted to the system to activate the anti-radiation missile and lock the radiation source.

The colonel was fortunate enough to avoid the Chinese Air Force today, but this was the first time he had experienced such a tight ground defense.The enemy's radar radiation was changing all the time, and the missile seeker and the electronic equipment on the plane couldn't lock the position for a while. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the turning of the canyon. radar.He glanced down at the monitor quickly, and two Rafales had disappeared from the formation, which meant that they had either lost contact or were finished.

He turned back from time to time to check behind him.I only saw a wingman volley bombing, and I don't know what was hit by it.

At this moment, he was only 50 kilometers away from the target. He knew that the valley couldn't stay, so he pulled up his fighter plane and made a last-ditch effort.

"Tiger Shark lead calls the rest of the formation."

There was no response from the radio, and the other gusts did not know where they were.

There is no difference between Dashan here and the last time he came, except that there were only a few J-8IIs intercepting it last time, and at this moment, his plane is being continuously scanned by various electromagnetic wave pulses from all directions, and he knows that the last moment has come .

"Tiger Shark Squadron, you return immediately, leave this to me."

The colonel pushed the throttle to afterburner, where he was confident he could perform the most complex maneuvers.As for whether the other crew members of the squadron participated in the final attack, it didn't matter anymore. They had already completed the task of attracting the enemy's attention, and it seemed pointless to continue struggling in this net.

That towering snow-capped mountain was right there, shining in the morning sun, and the radiant energy from there was getting stronger and stronger. The colonel knew that it was staring at him firmly.This is the final duel, and one side must die.

Two rapidly extending trails were approaching among the surrounding clouds, which the colonel could still see.He was forced to dive on the bar to gain speed.As the altitude dropped slightly, locust-like anti-aircraft artillery shells flew towards him from all directions, and then exploded into a piece behind the plane. The barrage followed the gust of wind closely, and it was about to swallow the plane.The colonel decisively released a large amount of chaff to destroy the tracking of the ground artillery radar. At the same time, he made a rolling motion, shaking a sneaking missile dizzy, losing energy, and falling down.

However, a large number of deceleration maneuvers prevented the fighter plane from accumulating enough energy. During the continuous dodging, he still failed to pull up the speed.Seeing that the antenna was already close in front of him, it was a pity that it was in a higher position, making it impossible for him to accelerate through the dive.At the same time, this also means that the Rafale cannot use laser-guided bombs.

The Colonel must make a decision in exchange for a victory.

Four months ago, at the Hindustan State-run TV program recording site, he was so indifferent to Dr. Rani, who praised the Air Force endlessly, that Dr. Rani made a statement to the National Defense after the program recording: Dabrini The colonel overestimated the enemy in the program and lacked patriotic and enthusiastic evaluations.The doctor also made the same evaluation as Captain Roll of the Trident Squadron, which made them disappear from the key propaganda catalog of the propaganda agency under the Ministry of National Defense.

In ten seconds, the colonel will practice a real "patriotism".He nestled the green square antenna tightly into the vector logo in the center of the HUD and watched it grow larger.He broke through almost all the defenses, leaving only the last 7-barreled fast gun.

At about the same height as the gust of wind, the Lu Dun 2000 on the trailer platform is quietly waiting for the exhausted aircraft to enter the final stable flight.The enemy is frantically making yet another attack, seemingly aiming to hit the radar directly?

The uncooled 7-barreled cannon began to rotate again, and it only had half the base ammunition left, but the enemy plane would no longer have any room to maneuver unless he wanted to miss the target.

Colonel Dabrini finally saw a rapid-fire weapon fired at him 2 kilometers away. He knew that everything was over, so he could only hold the joystick and throttle tightly, watching the flames sweeping across, and the transparent glass cockpit in front of him In an instant, it turned into a vast expanse of whiteness.

The dense fire net instantly left hundreds of holes on the plane, destroying the entire cockpit cover.The pilot was probably beaten to the point of losing a human figure, but the plane still flew forward by inertia, until the fire engulfed it, it began to fall downwards, and finally landed at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.
