Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 61 Noise Interference
This numerical advantage comes from the prudence of Admiral Biafrata. He originally planned to use one-third, that is, 6 aircraft for cover, which seems to be enough.But at the last moment of the operation, he reduced the number of bomb-carrying planes and increased the convoy to ten.The Su-10MKI fighter jet is not only the treasure of the Air Force, it has almost become an undefeated myth in the hearts of the whole people.With the help of the power of this aircraft, the young boy of the Eagle Squadron became an idol in the hearts of young people. With the help of the TV media, a long queue formed outside the Air Force registration office.Even elementary school students in New Delhi know that there is a kind of aircraft in India that is invincible.A few days ago, Defense Minister Singh called the Chief of Air Force Staff and told him that from a political point of view, it is best not to lose a single Su-30.This is a reluctant requirement, even in peacetime Air Force aircraft crashes are common, but the chief of staff decided to use every Su-30 seriously to ensure that they will not be shot down by the other side.

At this time, Sami keenly discovered that the enemy plane was changing its radar mode and switching to one-on-one tracking. At the same time, the Indian fleet had already occupied an altitude advantage of about 1000 meters.The colonel then ordered the fleet to divide into two directions and dive and turn. He hoped that doing so would appear on the opponent's radar display as if he had fled.Major General Islam was also sweating for Sami in the early warning aircraft, because it was not his intention to use Sami for fishing. After all, this old man is the most valuable trump card of the Pakistan Air Force.But old Sammy insisted on going out in person, and there was nothing he could do.

The Indian plane never fired, but they began to speed up. It can be seen that Sami's sudden turn under their noses, coupled with the chaotic formation of the eight Pakistani planes, tickled their hearts.

"Abbas, you lead the 2nd team to run towards Gujranwala, and I'm heading towards Fort Fort. You have to run faster. We will meet later."

"Understood, boss."

The large angle of attack of the 2 Thunderbolts turned, making the previous radar targeting of the Lion Squadron fall short.In fact, the R30 missiles of the Su-77 of several fighters are already ready to fire, and the pilots are making the final confirmation of firing with the early warning aircraft.The escape of the enemy planes made it difficult for them. If they pursued towards the south (estimated at Walan), it is the staging area of ​​the 30th Army of the Pakistan Army, and there must be strong anti-aircraft firepower.

"Lion Squadron, I suggest that you pursue the northern fleet. The electronic jammers will then cross the border. Half an hour ago, they took off from Atak Airport, where the anti-aircraft firepower is relatively weak. You can shoot them all over Atak. "

"The lion understands." Deputy squadron leader Sahili replied hesitantly.This was a time for him to think hard. According to the agreement, he could temporarily decide to continue the pursuit, or lead half of the squadron to turn back.But the dot representing the enemy plane is shaking on the HUD, and the distance is gradually shrinking.According to the intelligence of the early warning aircraft, there is no decent anti-aircraft firepower in this area. This can be seen from the number of detected medium-range warning radars, and these radars are basically concentrated in other distant directions.Maybe pakistan has some tv tracking system on the ground that doesn't use radar tracking to guide legal sidewinder or midge midge missiles made by china, but today the clouds are low and rainy.Relying on these systems alone, the threat of these short-range missiles should be reduced to negligible.

"Squad Lions, continue to accelerate the pursuit and maintain altitude. We must complete the aim within 1 minute." Sahili said.The pursuit was like a drill, the enemy trying to escape and sabotage the aim, and his team followed closely behind.This feeling made him relax a little, after all, his squadron hadn't conducted any actual combat yet.He had been reminding himself all the time before that he was going deep into the enemy's territory.

The electronic jamming aircraft of the following brigade crossed the border at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour. Its huge jamming ability restricted its own communication. It could not communicate with the early warning aircraft anytime and anywhere, so it could only follow the original plan. The tail random swarm operates at a distance. As an electronic warfare aircraft outside the area, this is a very dangerous situation.Even though all the radar antennas around it were interfered by powerful noise, Lion Squadron was completely hidden in the powerful interference noise, but he alone was visible on the ground radar screen, so the pilot of this aircraft It was decided not to go too far, and to make only a few circles around the border before further instructions arrived.This conservative action made Islam and Sami's plan feasible, which is one of the reasons why they ambushed the warning radar 200 kilometers due west.There, once the radar is turned on, it can still maintain a considerable burn-through distance.The Chinese technical consultant stationed in Pakistan has been using a conservative value of the interference-to-signal ratio as a basis to calculate the starting distance of the radar, which requires the help of an early warning aircraft.Now the 32 missiles in the mountainous area are pointing to the sky and waiting for the enemy to appear, but the Lion Squadron is gradually breaking away from the 120-kilometer absolute protection circle of the electronic jammer.However, aiming time is still a serious issue for ground commanders. If the action is slow, the jammer 200 kilometers away can still find the source of the emission in time and find a way to deceive the frequency-agile radar. How long is this time? People know that they have to wait until the end of this battle to understand.

Ten Su-10s lined up in a staggered and orderly formation, chasing the fleeing Thunder fighter.Sahili hopes that his teammates can find a shortcut to lock the enemy plane as soon as possible.It is known that the Thunder team in front is very slick. They are very good at effectively destroying radar tracking at a distance of 30 kilometers, as if they have undergone special training, which makes the Lion pilot become anxious.

"Captain Lion, I found a single-pulse fire control radar nearby." The early warning aircraft sent an alarm.On the data link, Sahili saw a suspicious launcher of a Sidewinder missile ground launcher 50 kilometers away to the northeast.His fleet is currently above 4000 meters in altitude, so he doesn't really care. He thinks it is suspicious if a radar fails to detect the intrusion place for 15 minutes.However, neither Sahili nor the guide on the early warning plane thought that there would really be a trap ahead.

"Captain Lion, a new radar emitter has been detected. C-band."

Sahili glanced down at the monitor. It might be some kind of phased array radar that the chief of staff of the Air Force had assured him would not exist in this area, and the distance was only 25 kilometers.This was enough for the deputy squadron leader to break out in a cold sweat.The simple radar is still scanning.

"Kusan, launch the anti-radiation missile immediately."

"clear."

A Su-30 in the formation immediately turned to this suspicious radar, and it still needs to fly for another 15 seconds to reach that radar. If it succeeds in counterattacking, there is no doubt that Major General Islam's long-planned counterattack will suffer greatly. frustration.
