Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 81 Fire Net
At the same time, Sammy's lock on the suspected SAM-6's illumination radar was almost completed, and he leveled the aircraft, waiting for the permission to launch.According to common sense, the low-altitude search radar should be killed first, so as to avoid all future troubles, and then shoot the rest of the fire control radar according to the situation, but today, this Thunderbolt only carried one anti-radiation missile; because the search radar The signal was intermittent and could not be locked on, so Sami had no choice but to choose to continuously illuminate his fire control radar to lock on.The interception mark suddenly lit up, and the colonel immediately launched the missile without any hesitation.

Ten seconds after the missile flew to the target, the opponent immediately turned off the radar.This is a normal countermeasure, but it's okay, the missile will still strike according to the memory position.Regardless of whether the missile hit or not, Sammy was finally free to join the fight.But he found that he couldn't find Lehman, maybe he had gone deep into the enemy's territory with his eagerness to make contributions?

"Viper, I need a wingman position."

"4 kilometers east of the mountain pass, bearing 075, chasing the remaining enemy plane."

The ground firepower of the Indian side, which has been silent for a long time, finally decided to open fire on the trailing thunderbolt. It was not that Pandit's radio communication played a role, but because the two planes were flying too low, some infantrymen had already recognized the dodging German plane. The MiG 2 belongs to the Indian Air Force.

Several anti-aircraft guns hidden on the top of the hill began to shake upwards. These artillery guns were arranged in camouflage nets, and they were secretly aiming at the Pakistani bunker on the opposite side.Now that the entire deployment is at risk of being fully exposed, the frontline commander cannot allow this enemy plane to scurry unscrupulously over the 55th Brigade.

Lehman is constantly slowing down and trying to point the nose at the opponent, but the opponent is a veteran, and his control of the variable-sweep wing has reached a superb level. The change in height rolled up and down, always dodging the edge of the infrared aiming ring, making Lehman's aiming impossible.Of course, these complicated flight routes of Indian pilots also make it very difficult to aim ground firepower.

The machine gun KS on the ground started firing chaotically from different directions.One part is the twin 23mm anti-aircraft guns of the Border Garrison-Rajputana Rifle Regiment, and the other part is the old Bofors 55mm guns of the 40th Armored Brigade. The shells flying to the MiG-27 are no less than those fired at the Pakistani planes behind.

The two planes rose rapidly at the same time, and for the time being, they didn't care about calculating each other, because it would be very dangerous to stay in this valley woven by fire nets for even a second.

"Laiheman pay attention to the back." Sami shouted on the radio.

Lehman turned his head quickly, and a flaming missile was flying towards him.He quickly released a few sets of tracer bombs, blocking the path of the missile, and then while the Sam 7 was considering where to turn, he turned sideways at a 7G maneuver, and the missile went through the barrage and found There was no thunder and lightning, but it was surprised to find another infrared signal, so it flew straight past.This time, Pandit was negligent. His sight was blocked by the large white smoke from the tracer bombs randomly fired by "Thunderbolt". When Sam 7 flew out of the white smoke, the MiG 27 was at a low speed. He was going to reduce the turning radius by sudden deceleration and reverse the situation of being chased in one fell swoop, because he judged that the thunder and lightning were not easy to control at the same low speed.

"Damn it, how did this happen?"

The captain hastened to release the tracer, but it was too late.Since the MiG-27's speed was only a pitiful 380 kilometers at this time, it was impossible to make a strong turn anyway.The missile exploded on its side, and the Pandit aircraft immediately raised thick smoke. The captain did not rush to parachute, he checked the instruments and surroundings, and the engine speed was dropping rapidly. As he descended, he looked back, and there was thick smoke rising near the vertical tail. Maybe the engine would stop completely or explode within 20 seconds. The hydraulic control was still working. Although the driving effect was getting weaker and weaker, he still Insist on sliding the plane out of this valley, because now he can't guarantee that the hysterical infantry below will not open fire on the parachute.

Sami stayed at a high altitude to observe everything in the distance. He knew that today was going to be a big trouble.The Indian surface-to-air missile position in the distance was turned on again. Judging from the azimuth, it was another fire control radar. Soon the radar beam pointed to the two Thunder fighter jets in the air.The radar warning equipment sounded again, and this time he had no ability to fight back. He hurriedly asked Lehman to return at a low altitude and try to get as close to the valley as possible.Flying close to the mountain has always been very effective for avoiding semi-active radar-guided missiles such as the Sam 2, but Lehman was frightened by the dense ground anti-aircraft guns and the Sam 6 missiles, and did not dare to lower the altitude.He never thought that there would be so much anti-aircraft fire in a peaceful valley.He used to only know that the understaffed Jeraptana Rifle Regiment guarded a line of defense of tens of kilometers here. The main anti-aircraft weapon was a 7mm machine gun. He never expected to fall into such a dense fire net.

"Listen to me, lower the altitude quickly." Sammy continued to shout.

"No, Colonel, you have seen it all, the mountains here are covered with all kinds of..."

"Black spider formation, the enemy launched missiles, a total of... 2... No, 2 more were launched, and the target is judged to be you." The early warning aircraft interrupted Lehman and notified the launch of the enemy's surface-to-air missile.

Sami immediately chose to dive into the ravine, and now he didn't care about staying at high altitude to give Lehman advice, because what Lehman said was also reasonable, in fact, it was time for him to gamble on luck.

The two "sky" missiles aimed at Sami soon flew into the distant sky because they lost their targets.Lehman was not so lucky, and the missile followed closely behind him, unable to get rid of it.He knew that this time he went too far into the enemy's territory, and the ground firepower of the entire mountain pass was aimed at him (after Pandit's MiG 2 was shot down by his own people, the Indians also knew that they had no worries and could open fire with all their strength.).The urgent situation forced Lehman to make another wrong decision. He suddenly turned to the north, hoping to bypass the Guldas Pass, and then cross back to the territory at low altitude.His reckless action almost traversed the entire front of the 27th Armored Brigade, which was secretly dormant here.Then the lieutenant found that not only the G-band SAM-55 (actually an Indian-made sky missile) was aimed at him, but also several 6D radars not far away. It seemed that some kind of fairly advanced short-range air defense weapon was aimed at him .

His judgment was not wrong. Two well-camouflaged 2mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are aiming at this enemy plane that penetrates too far. This weapon has a strong infrared/radar search capability and can fight independently. It may It is the most advanced artillery based air defense system in the world, equipped only the most elite strike force in India.

The turrets of the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were slowly turning under the camouflage net. They were aiming at the slowly approaching Pakistani plane, waiting for him to fall into range, but the plane was currently at an awkward height.This is a height that an anti-aircraft gun can barely hit. If he lowers it by a few hundred meters, his confidence will be several times greater.
