Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 565 The Last Inheritance
"Snake, are you crazy?"

At high altitude, Goya's radar locked on two batches of targets near and far.He chose to give up the deceleration attack on the two panicked Thunderbolts. He felt that he had grown up on the battlefield and was no longer so greedy, so he threw them to his wingman to complete the shooting down.Every battle will have a key point, or a turning point, he chooses to speed up and rush towards the distant AWACS.

The battle was full of twists and turns, but the advantage had already been formed, and it would not be a problem to clear the entire airspace, but the lieutenant general must not slip away, otherwise the battle would be meaningless.

There was clearly something wrong with the AWACS, which at first almost escaped, then began to circle in the distance, and then twisted on an odd flight path.Goya didn't bother to guess what was going on, he charged at high altitude at a speed close to Mach 1.5.The early warning aircraft was just circling around in the distance.

Goya found that he had gone deep and had already thrown off all the surface-to-air missiles deployed by the enemy on the front line. Pakistan's air defense network was full of loopholes, and they were all concentrated at the front.Now except for a few radars looking at me, there is no obstruction. The enemy's second-tier airport has never taken off a fighter plane to intercept me. It can be seen that they can dispatch this morning, that is, these 6 fighter planes. This is a destiny. , an excellent opportunity to cut off the Pakistan Air Force.

At an altitude of 9000 meters at a speed of Mach 1.6, he fired all four R4 missiles in one go, and then kept tracking; seeing the missile radar turned on, he followed the slow target.Fired under such conditions, he knew that the missile could reach its maximum range, and this attack was absolutely sure.

Goya glanced at the VSD and other battlefield awareness systems, where he could see the overall situation of the battlefield and the surrounding radio threat situation.Everything was as expected, the enemy's air defense network had a huge gap in this area.

"The eagles all take over for the tridents, they're running out of gas. Make sure to shoot down all the enemies in the air today."

"clear."

"Don't get too close to that 'Lone Wolf', try to shoot him from a distance!"

He was prepared to return to the battlefield immediately after confirming that the command plane was destroyed. By then, if his old enemy had not been wiped out by the intensive firepower of his teammates, he could intervene to destroy it.

The last two Thunderbolts of the Lionheart team crossed to the south exhaustedly. Their purpose of rushing into the battlefield was to intercept the enemy and let the command plane escape. The only task, but easier said than done.

Surrounded by a large number of Indian aircraft in front and behind, for these young people who have less than a hundred flying hours and jumped directly from the intermediate trainer aircraft course to the supersonic fighter combat, it is really difficult to tremble at close range.They recklessly followed the nearest route and rushed towards their own surface-to-air missile defense zone, regardless of the surrounding situation.

The combat power of the Eagle Squadron that just arrived is not weaker than that of the Trident. They are now eager to share the results of the battle, pincer outflanking the last two enemy planes from both sides.Each Su-2MKII carries a variety of weapons. They fly in the hinterland of Pakistan, using powerful radar to intimidate and drive away the defenseless targets in front of them.

The display of each Su-30 marked the position of the Hongqi 9 missile position that fired for the first time. Now that the location and weapons have been identified, they can easily bypass the circular threat area.The intelligence work before the war showed that the ground air defense forces in northern Pakistan were mainly concentrated in the hands of the field troops in the west of Fort Fort and the Sargoda area, which is a traffic hub. In the wide corridor between these two places, only infantry carried The shady portable anti-aircraft missiles and the haunting self-propelled anti-aircraft guns; for heavy fighters, as long as they maintain a high altitude, they can pass through at will.

The main radiation sources on the ground captured by the electronic tactical threat system also confirmed the conclusion of the intelligence department, as long as those sinister guidance radars need to be avoided, the rest is not a problem.Even if the squadron leader is busy picking up the enemy air chief, the rest of the airmen know what to do.They immediately reorganized, and two of them were sent to take over from the trident, besieging the lone wolf, and the other three started to hunt and kill.The trident is running out of fuel and can only turn around, and now it's the turn of the eagle to show its power.

Through the Viper's data, Sami found that except for the one that was chasing after him, the MiG-29s of the rest of the Trident Squadron were leaving the battlefield. Obviously, their range limit had been reached, but the Su-30 in the sky was rushing down viciously. , up to 5 in number.The two waves of enemy planes that came today are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Islam's last slurred voice came over the radio:
"Honey Badger. Hurry up and get out of the battle, you must survive...the Air Force needs you...this is an order..."

The sound is then masked by noise and finally disappears.On the display, the target information and the position information of the command plane itself did not exist. Except for the two fighter planes of our own side, the position of any enemy plane could not be seen.

"Quick skydiving idiot." Sammy shouted loudly, but there was no response.

The so-called honey badger is a word that only he and Islam can understand.Many years ago, when they were both in the 9th Squadron, Sammy's first radio callsign as a meaning column wingman was called Honey Badger.Of course, these call signs have been changed since then, but Sammy's withdrawn, aggressive and courageous character fits well with this title. In the end, "Honey Badger" became the nickname for Sammy in the small circle of pilots of the 9th Squadron.As the deputy squadron leader at the time, Islam was nicknamed the lucky bird.Part of the reason for getting this joking nickname is that Islam always returns safely from dangerous battles;Of course, these nicknames were only circulated in small circles, and Islam himself never wanted to mention them.

After countless battles, only Sami and Islam were left in this so-called small circle, but Islam's luck did not continue, and he eventually left. Now only Sami is left one person.

From the moment the ZDK03 information completely disappeared, the old inheritance of the Pakistan Air Force was almost completely cut off; no one continued to keep it for Sami: the secret that he had shot down the government field hospital outside Kabul; and no second person knew As the captain, Islam was once frightened by the Soviet fighter jets and fled before the battle, leaving Sammy alone to deal with a group of MiG-23s and assemblers.

Sami hesitated in the air for 2 seconds. The MiG-29 who was entangled with him was by no means an ordinary person. He quickly seized the opportunity and approached the side rear position. The sharp radar warning sound woke the old man out of his trance.

Realizing that he was on the verge of being targeted by the enemy, he quickly reversed and skidded, throwing off the radar track.But the enemy did not give up the pursuit, but gave up the radar scan.

Judging from the quick response, the MiG 29 probably didn't switch the sensor on the programmable weapon control panel, but directly pressed the helmet aiming device on the throttle valve; this system can skip the normal weapon under special circumstances The weapon control rules directly control the field of view of the R73's seeker to follow the pointing of the front sight in the helmet.

Sammy simply didn't look ahead, but only stared at the back. Sure enough, the enemy launched a missile from a very difficult position, and reversed and escaped.It can be seen that the enemy does not have much fuel, and the launch does not follow up, but turns and escapes.

The colonel decisively made a large overload turn to avoid the field of view of the enemy's seeker, and launched infrared interference.

The instantaneous G value on the HUD was once close to 9.0. To deal with insufficiently aimed missiles, the sooner you make a big maneuver, the better the effect.He knew that he might faint during the 9G maneuver, but if it was fate, he would not be able to resist.

Sure enough, the missiles, which had not had time to fully cool down, could not distinguish the main target at all under the large screen of shielding barrage blasted by the flame bombs, and both lost their targets.The old man saw the trick from the sluggish and unchanging condensate trail of the missile. He turned around cleverly and instantly reversed the situation. Of course, the Indian pilot of the Trident could predict that it might not hit, but he couldn't guess that the enemy dared to follow the trend. Turn the corner and strike back.

Sammy quickly bites the enemy at the 6 o'clock position. If the distance is right, this is a position where the enemy is destined to be in an unsolvable "no escape zone".

The enemy bit the bullet and made a move to get rid of it, how could he get rid of it?The Indian pilot's overreach made him fall behind the entire Trident formation. Before he set off, Rolle warned everyone not to get too entangled with the enemy, and always remember that he needs to leave room for fuel for the return flight, but now , he was surrounded by fuel warning and radar warning sounds at the same time, and he had to desperately make low-altitude maneuvers.He had to fly head-on to the Su-30 of the Eagle Squadron in order to survive.

Sami fired all the last 2 PL8 missiles.The missile dragged two streams of compact steam smoke in the air to chase the target, and these two tracks quickly caught up with the thick condensation trail emitted by the enemy plane after afterburner flight. Three arc-shaped white marks extend in the air at the same time, but the trailing missile is not only much faster, but also the arc it draws is much tighter, this is the so-called inescapable.

The tired MiG-29 exploded in the air, disintegrating into several pieces and falling down one after another.Sammy's fuel is also more than half, but he can not be restricted by the range, he can even land on the road.So he didn't think about withdrawing from the battle to maintain any inheritance, but slowed down and flew in the direction of Sargoda. He also wanted to use the last trick to lure the enemy into the exposed trap, although The chances are slim, but how can you do it without trying.

Lin Huaisheng had already left Husab's underground factory, and was now in the underground headquarters of the expeditionary force.He has been paying attention to the air battle that just happened.I also saw two Pakistani planes flying over my head, followed by several Su-2s.He has a complete field air defense system. Once the enemy approaches, he can counterattack within a few seconds. At present, most of these systems are still on standby, and only some 30D warning radars are continuously scanning the airspace.If he does nothing, the enemy will pass through the area air defense range supported by Hongqi 2 in about 45 seconds. Currently on the display, this area is a circle with a radius of 16 kilometers. The enemy seems to be drilling in from one side.

Of course, even if it flies over his head, the enemy will not notice anything.In fact, except for a part of the engineering troops who acted in advance, most of his personnel and equipment are hidden.

"Mr. Lin, two batches of enemy planes may have entered the prevention and control area at the same time."

From the display, the MiG-29 fleet turning east and the Su-30 fleet chasing south almost all pass through the attack range of their own two mobile area air defense systems, but the MiG-2 fleet is farther north, probably from The edge of the range passed, and the attack was a bit reluctant.He has been watching this battle since just now, and those MiG-29s obviously did not go back the way they used to, maybe because of insufficient fuel, they had to take a relatively straight return route.They obviously knew that Sargoda had an air defense system, so they chose to return from a slightly northerly area, but the enemy did not know that their ground forces had been deployed secretly, and the air defense system accompanying the armored forces of the expeditionary force happened to be deployed at this core position.

"The fighter plane is coming, how can you give up? Air defense battalion, you must seize the opportunity to fight; pay attention, the start-up time should be as short as possible, and the radar should not be pointed at irrelevant distant targets. There is no need to attack northern targets." Lin Huaisheng said with his hands behind his back.He has weighed the pros and cons just now. Since this is the hinterland, shooting down an enemy plane may not arouse the association of the intelligence agencies. At most, their air force generals will call the officer in charge of the enemy to scold them, but what does this have to do with him? Dry?

Lin's air defense force is a force that has experienced the test at Jabwa Airport. They have been tracking the movement of the enemy aircraft fleet through the data link. Although they did not directly start tracking, the huge radar antenna array North, across 300 kilometers, and throughout the whole process of the 90° azimuth, it is constantly adjusted and ready to fight at any time.

Once the radar is turned on, it will inevitably touch the radio surveillance equipment of the target. If it cannot be shot down, the enemy intelligence department can analyze the type of radar and the type of missile based on the directly measured wireless point characteristics, and judge the personnel who operate these missiles according to the time from turning on to launching If there are a few smart intelligence analysts, they may judge that in this calm area, there is something abnormal about the presence of highly professional short-range area air defense systems, because these systems are usually accompanied by group army operations.However, Lin Huaisheng fully trusts his air defense force. He believes that as long as all the locked enemy planes are shot down at once, the enemy should not be able to obtain enough information to deduce that there is a large army here.

The commander relied on experience to grasp the timing until the last moment when three enemy planes broke into the core area in a dense formation, the radar suddenly turned on, and the beam quickly pointed to the three Su-3s in the air. The moment the alarm sounded harshly, The Indian pilots who were excited to pursue them seemed to have been poured with cold water from head to toe.They originally thought that they had sufficient intelligence and swaggered past the edge of the envelope of the enemy's air defense position in Sargoda, that is, an area where air defense missiles could barely be launched but were destined to fail.Why suddenly, without warning, another fire control radar popped up?
