Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 644 Rampage
This is the third Mirage 3 that Sami shot down. He also pushed the number of enemy planes he shot down in this war to double digits, not including about 2000 planes whose results could not be confirmed. Now he can choose to land Go to Chandigarh Airport, or continue to hang around the transport plane route, because he saw the third J-2 coming from the data link, but he still flew to the tanker plane without hesitation, while guarding the surroundings.He always feels that the Indian Air Force has been cowardly for half a month. If it wants to counterattack, it is unlikely to dispatch only one. The Mirage 4 has the ability to match the terrain and can be used as a sneak attack aircraft, but it is not a very good reconnaissance aircraft.

On the data link, we can also see some fast-moving marks near the early warning aircraft. They are flying on the transport route just opened, without displaying attributes and speeds, but they are not like transport aircraft at all. The old man has been paying attention for a while and found them Flying south for a while will turn around, and then fly back, it is definitely not something that a transport aircraft can do.And it has never surpassed Leh. It must not be a reconnaissance plane or an electronic warfare plane outside the area. It looks like some kind of shy escort plane, sometimes hidden behind the early warning plane.

Before he took off, he heard from Song Ning that one or two new guys in the Chinese Air Force were going to practice with India. In fact, it was for the Americans to see and stop their random thoughts.Sammy just fought against the American stealth plane a few days ago. To be fair, it was very difficult to win, and the exchange ratio was also ugly. However, he is personally very interested in this sneaky weapon, because it fits well with his self-contained tactics. But he also knows that even if the Chinese will put this new type of aircraft into this war, they will definitely not let themselves touch it. It is their core technology.

The J-10 flew alone over the snow-capped mountains, doing rolling movements from time to time, observing the bottom, he still couldn't believe that only a Phantom came.In the early tactics of the Pakistan Air Force, Phantom III was also used to cover the Phantom V with bombs, mainly because these French aircraft have certain inherited advantages in technology. Generally speaking, aircraft without terrain avoidance flight capabilities are impossible. Flying sneak attack missions with aircraft with such capabilities, so the Mirage is also and possibly some sort of pairing with the Rafale.

However, no matter how they combine, since they want to use the mountainous area to hide and hide, they are at a disadvantage in terms of position. As long as they are always careful and don't let possible sneak attacks from below succeed, they can hold that advantage in their hands.

He is a master of sneak attacks, so he naturally knows how to launch a typical sneak attack.The mottled rocks and huge mountain shadows below the snow line of the snow-capped mountains are very suitable for fighters to hide, if that fighter has good terrain avoidance ability.

When he was doing the rolling motion for the last time, he could see two light spots rising rapidly behind the glass cockpit cover. Obviously this was a sneak attack with too much height difference, so he immediately accelerated and climbed up.This is an unconventional maneuver, which can usually be used to get rid of enemy aircraft with insufficient climbing power, not missiles, but he knows that the enemy's sneak attack is too far away, so he can easily defuse this attack.

He followed the trails of the two missiles that were struggling to climb downward, and saw two gray enemy planes that were still flying level. Obviously, after the sneak attack, they still thought they could escape under the snow line, and did not change much. It seems that They think they will be shot down by missiles without knowing it, so they feel safe.

The rapid climb of the J-10 really made it difficult for the Indian pilots with a height difference of 3 kilometers below to understand. They thought that the sneak attack could succeed, so after weighing it, they did not use the medium-range bombs with a more guaranteed range, so that they could avoid using them. Radar alerts the opponent while remaining concealed.

The Indian pilot looked up and stared at it from time to time, and could see the white trail of the missile turning back and down in the air. Obviously, it was exhausted and could not reach it. That damned J-10 was blessed by some kind of god, and it actually saw it flying from a dead angle on the side. Missiles, it is said that this is the most difficult area for pilots to see; then this enemy plane escaped the missiles by running very clumsily all the way, it should not be a matter of judgment, but a fledgling rookie will carry So some luck.For the time being, the opponent still has a huge advantage in height, so they decided to continue to cover the valley for a certain distance, let the opponent catch blind, fly randomly first, wait for him to relax, and then suddenly pull up from a certain place that is not easy to be found , give him a little color.

These two instructors from TACDE (Indian Air Combat School) just entered the front-line combat force 2 months ago. As the cornerstone of the Indian Air Force’s last mission, they should not have been on the battlefield, but the war forced them to do so. Yes, each of them has nearly a hundred simulated shooting downs in the previous tactical air combat training, including some top Indian pilots Su-30MKi and MiG-29, so the skills of air combat are sufficient. Of course, the so-called simulated air combat is The limit speed competition is used to hone the students' fighting ability at lower speed conditions. This setting makes the Mirage 2000 always have some advantages, which is far from actual combat.

Sammy found that the formation of enemy planes continued to bury their heads to the west, thinking that they could sneak past them. He made a somersault and quickly increased the speed to Mach 1.2. He could see that the opponent was not the gust that made him a little afraid, but two other planes. Mirage 2, and the J-2000 in the distance will arrive in about 11 minute, so he now has the confidence to carry out a challenge with 1 enemy 1.

The phantom formation found that the enemy plane climbing overhead shrank into a black spot, which seemed to be flying higher. Due to the lack of ranging capabilities, they could only judge the target 4 kilometers above with their eyesight, and then came up with a wrong It was concluded that Sami was actually speeding towards them, the frontal section of the plane appeared to be smaller, and the seven-color halo formed on the glass cockpit cover by the sunlight from the west also made it more difficult to judge.Of course, in fact they have no higher choice. Flying to a higher altitude and competing for a favorable position means that they will be caught by the radar of early warning aircraft or even nearby fighter jets immediately, so they would rather continue to deceive themselves and avoid at low altitude.

Within a few seconds, the J-10 was getting bigger and bigger, and they finally noticed the danger, but it was too late, and they had less than 10 seconds to counterattack.

At this moment, Sami has quickly moved to a favorable rear position, and maintained a great speed advantage. He roared towards the target and aimed at the one behind.

The Mirage 2000 formation began to disperse, which was the only correct strategy they could adopt. Sammy bit one of them tightly and brought it into the circular reference frame of the infrared aiming. The missile seeker had already bit the opponent, and at any time It can fire, but he is not in a hurry to launch, but forces it to turn. Mirage 2000 is known for its instant ability to turn, but its power is weak. That is to say, the so-called instant horizontal maneuver of this aircraft can only be used in a round of competition. A limited number of times; so when you have the dual advantages of speed and altitude, you should force it to turn, which will inevitably lead to further weakening of its speed and maneuverability. When the missile is fired again, the target will be like a soft piece Like the meat, the inability to make enough to evade the missiles even led to a momentary struggle for a comeback.

Facing Sami, the opponent had no choice but to make a turn, and tried to stall for time, waiting for his companion to climb up and launch a counterattack, but another Mirage 2000 that had escaped temporarily turned around and fled, because he had just climbed over the ridge and was shot Powerful radar scans from several directions showed that the opponent's numerical advantage was huge, and it seemed acceptable to leave his comrades behind and slip away in the final stage of a hopeless war.

Sammy lowered the accelerator to keep up with the enemy's turn, so as not to rush in front of the opponent. He found that the opponent was by no means ordinary and had been tempting him to fly over his head. However, such tricks were of course ineffective against Sammy. His engine was much more powerful. Can accompany the opponent to slow down and follow the turn.What's more, he still has an advantage in height, and he can increase his speed at any time, while his opponent can only fly slower and slower, and finally catch him without a fight.

Sammy allows the target to play some tricks in the 60° range in front of him, but he will not let it escape from the most ideal launch angle of the missile, just like a cat who wants to tease the mouse in front of him, and at the same time tease the coming China Together, he can see those J-11s rushing to grab the fighter jets from the data link. He will only give them one at most, depending on whether they can catch up.

The opponent began to slide down, trying to use the mountain to force Sami to give up, but this was also a last resort. The straight up and down mountains here also limited his mobility.Sammy fired a missile, and the Phantom tried to dodge again, and almost lost control and hit the mountain. The missile easily caught up with the Phantom, which was unable to continue to dodge, and blew up one of its wings, and then the fighter disintegrated and fell on the hillside. .

At this time, two J-2s had already passed Sami's head, and they clung to another Mirage 11 that was trying to escape. The opponent's height and speed disadvantages made the distance closer, obviously on this snowy plateau However, there is not much chance left for the Indian Air Force to sneak attack on the transport plane. Once it is found, it can only try to fly low and escape, without any possibility of counterattack. .

When Sami flew to the side of the tanker, the remaining Mirage 2000, together with the 2 medium-range missiles launched by the 11 J-4s, disappeared from the field of vision of the early warning aircraft. Unsure, obviously for the Chinese pilot who was eager to add a shooting down mark on the fuselage, it was destined to be something that would make him worry about it. Sami guessed that it would be identified to a certain pilot in the way of the leader's final decision.After Zhao Lin disappeared, his suspected medium-range projectile shooting down record (probably Song Ning's) in the previous air combat battle was recorded in his name as some kind of posthumous compensation. As a result, on the third day he Miraculously found, only suffered a little injury.And suddenly became the first Chinese pilot to shoot down a stealth plane, which aroused widespread dissatisfaction among other troops participating in the war. In fact, according to the records at the time, the first and second F1s shot down were shot down by Song Ning 3 kilometers away. , The F22 shot down was all completed within 200 seconds, and the second F35 shot down was the leader of the formation, and its gold content was obviously much greater.

After Sami finished refueling, he carried the last missile and continued to wander in the mountains. Taking the opportunity of turning, he secretly turned on the radar, trying to use different pulse repetition rates to scan those 80 kilometers away, which can only be seen from the data link. For those Chinese planes who were calm and did not join the battle, the radar scan did not find the target, and the guess was obviously verified.Then the AWACS pilot reminded him that he was flying on the wrong course.

Sammy explained that he was worried that the flying snake that slipped through the net might come from there, so he wanted to keep an eye on the north.

There is not much room for bargaining on the AWACS side, and it is required to turn around quickly and not continue to fly north.The old man knew it best not to push too far, so he turned around and headed back.

In the twilight, he followed a huge black transport plane and flew towards Chandigarh Airport. The radar warning equipment could sense the dense air defense radar below. Obviously, the Chinese Army's defense deployment for the airport is extremely strict.When the transport plane landed, a huge flash of light could be seen in the sky, just like a thunderstorm in the clouds in early summer, except that the height of the flash was much higher than the clouds.He asked the ground command post, and someone told him that an Indian tactical missile was intercepted just now, and what he saw should be the situation of the terminal interception.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the missile rising from below the clouds, facing the Indian ballistic missile falling from a high altitude, just like two meteors colliding together, immediately forming a dazzling flash.This time it was intercepted again.

Obviously, this is the last possible means of destroying the airport by the Indians. They have used all of them, but they still can't work.The anti-missile capability of the Chinese army is the first time he has seen it. In the past, they relied more on the poor accuracy of the Indians and the speed at which the engineering troops repaired the airport to fight against Indian ballistic missiles. Now they have decided not to leave it to India. , using a head-to-head approach to counter tactical missiles, it cannot be ruled out that Song Ning said that he deliberately used India to practice his hands.

Looking at the situation, the despair that the Pakistanis felt half a year ago has been completely imposed on the Indians themselves. Although the Indians still control the Fort, the outcome of the war is doomed.

"Captain Black Spider, there is an emergency failure of a transport plane behind you, and it needs to land first. Can you continue to circle around?"

"No problem, I can wait a little longer."

He suddenly had an urge to fly over the enemy's head to show off. There are many places around New Delhi that can be reached from here, so he accelerated and flew southeast. The ground command post could not call in time, so he flew quickly After 250 kilometers, out of the communication distance.He knew that New Delhi was well-defended, but it was impossible for some nearby cities to have any decent air defense.He flew directly to Lucknow, an important town in Uttar Pradesh, where there is the final assembly plant of Hindustan Aerospace Corporation. Due to the unique consideration of the Chinese, it has not been attacked by cruise missiles. Today he has to scare the locals.Even if it's just a cannon shot.
