Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 78 Akash missile position
Sure enough, the enemy began to pursue the F16 commanded by Hassan towards the south turn area.This makes Major Hamid secretly happy, which shows that their commander has not seen the crux of the attack.In war, the attacking side can always act according to its own plan, but the defending side will inevitably make mistakes in its busy schedule.

"Plane leveled off, ready to fire."

"clear."

"Ranging complete."

"Power on the missile."

At this time, the radars of these fighters were firmly pointed at several MiG-3500s at an altitude of 27 meters.Those enemy planes began to accelerate hastily. At such a high airspeed, the MiG-27 could hardly perform any major maneuvers.

In this way, the J-11's radar quickly completed the measurement of the opponent's motion vector.If these planes turn sharply at this time or they can still unlock, but these planes of the 22 (Fast) Squadron just blindly dive and accelerate, which makes their speed slightly exceed the J-5000 in 11 meters, but the price is that the action is more difficult. stiff.In any case, this is a wrong choice in a panic. The MiG 27 could have chosen a sweeping wing angle of about 45 degrees, and performed a very effective medium-speed hover to compete with enemy aircraft that are trailing less than themselves. , but they just turned on the afterburner in an attempt to escape in an easy way.This is meaningless for PL8 missiles. The high-speed sprint of the J-11 gives these missiles extremely high muzzle velocity and range.Within seconds of Hamid and his wingman pulling the launch trigger, the missile had far exceeded the speed of the swift fleet.Hami could see the dazzling tail flame of the missile, flickering towards the target.The trajectory was hardly corrected, and it approached the enemy plane in front of it with a nearly straight arc.

The pilots of the Swift Squadron immediately released a large number of tracer bombs to carry out infrared interference, but the pure interference effect was not obvious. Because these aircraft lost the ability to turn sharply, three of them were hit in the first round of attacks, and the rest flew wildly. Rush to the ground and start to find ways to escape.

At the same time, Sha Fei's team has tracked the fleeing jaguar from high altitude by using radar. Although the distance is far away, the altitude of 8000 meters allows them to give full play to the range of the missile.Shafei's team managed to shoot out all the remaining 8 semi-radar-guided medium-range missiles at the limit of the maximum range of the attack in the rear hemisphere, and finally shot down the last 2 Jaguars, and the rest of the missiles fell into the territory of India. .

At the northernmost point of the chaotic battlefield, Colonel Sami is rushing to the battlefield. He knows that there are not many opportunities left for him, so he must go all out to intercept the remaining enemy planes at the border. He strictly ordered his team not to Using radar, he hoped that such a measure would allow him to take advantage of the chaotic battlefield.His measures paid off, and the early warning aircraft far above Rajasthan failed to detect the takeoff of the group of lightning in time.Perhaps the pilots on the AWACS preconceived that Atak's runway was no longer available for any aircraft to take off, so they did not take the risk of flying a longer distance to the northwest to include the airport in the scope of reconnaissance.But in fact, after a night of hard work, Pakistani ground personnel have filled most of the dense craters on the runway and sorted out a large section that can be used.The Ares Squadron only saw the 4 Thunderbolts that took off from Fort *** and chased in another direction, so no one reminded Captain Pandit that the 4 enemy planes were approaching.

During this period of time, Pandit’s radio station was filled with calls for help or counter-attacks from all walks of life, and sometimes there were inquiries from the ground asking to confirm whether the pilot had parachuted or not. The captain knew that today’s attack must be a bad retribution.But apart from the frustrating information, he didn't hear anything useful, and no one seemed to care about them anymore.

The captain knew that all the current battles were in the southwest direction, and it seemed that the battlefield was far behind him.However, he didn't dare to fully trust the AWACS and the ground command, and he didn't even trust his wingman very much.Perhaps because of the lessons learned from the last sneak attack from the north by the J-11 fighter jet driven by Hamid, he has been observing the north non-stop.It's just that the north is peaceful, and neither an enemy plane nor any radar beam scanning can be found.In addition, he heard on the radio that a unit of the Trident Squadron was in contact with the control tower of the Adampur frontline airport in front of him, and seemed to be discussing landing matters. It could be seen that there were several MiG 29Bs nearby, which also made the captain feel a little peace of mind.

"Captain, I have an ominous premonition." On the radio, Lieutenant Sach suddenly said something very ominous, which made the captain angry.

"Certainly ominous, we've lost half our planes. Scorpion Squadron will probably be canceled because you don't recognize the Stinger."

"That's not what I mean, I just think the situation could be worse."

"Shut your mouth. Have you forgotten the squadron regulations? Don't talk about things that have nothing to do with the mission on the radio. If you have the time, keep an eye on the back."

"Captain, at 8 o'clock...the enemy plane."

Saatchi is like a magical prophet of bad omens, but this time he summoned not a few stingers but four thunderbolts.

"Damn, you're so... so..."

Pandit turned around and looked back, and sure enough, four fighter jets shining brightly in the sun were lined up, about 4 to 5 kilometers away, at the direction of 8 o'clock below, and they were secretly grabbing a favorable position.

"The scorpion calls the fort. There are enemy planes approaching from my 8 o'clock direction. I need the cover of nearby fighter jets."

The captain pleaded with the headquarters that the matter was urgent now, so he didn't yell at the fools on the AWACS on the radio.

"Please confirm the position of the enemy plane again. We haven't seen any enemy plane." The AWACS told the captain that the enemy plane did not exist.

"They're right behind me, hiding low. Damn."

"..."

The AWACS did not respond.

"Captain, we need to turn on the power burn immediately, and use supersonic speed..." Thatch shouted.

"Fool, speed up if you want to die, I guess you can fly faster than a missile."

"What should I do?" Sachs almost begged.

"Listen to me, as long as they haven't used the radar, we are safe at this distance." The captain saw through Sami's attempt at a glance. He knew that Sami was planning a sneak attack, so he didn't turn on the radar and didn't seize the altitude.Without radar guidance, enemy aircraft cannot use any weapons at this distance.He knows that these "thunderbolts" have not installed interception equipment on the EOS channel for at least this month.

"Listen to me, you follow slowly turn right, adjust the swept wing angle to 40, not too fast, understand?"

"clear."

The captain glanced at the number on the rough heading indicator, and it was very close to the border. Due to the sufficient homework before the war, he memorized all the 19 Sam 6s and the newly established Akash missiles on this border. position.And there happened to be an AKS missile battalion stationed near Guerdas Col.He thought that he could lure the aggressive enemies into this trap, regardless of whether those MiG-29s with Tridents would arrive or not, this was the safest way.But before that, he must not give up the most important mobility ability because of blind acceleration.
