Chapter 149 MiG-25 bombing

Go back to Pakistan immediately! Mhamad left behind Hussain and others who were still training, and returned to Pakistan with his own delegation and two more people, Lilith and Arslan.

Just after returning to the military area, Mhamad and Arslan came to the headquarters and met the base commander Musaaf who looked worried.

"Report, Chief of Staff Mhammad is back."

"Report, the new commander of the air base, Arslan, is here to return." Old Arslan said excitedly, looking at Mushaaf in front of him.

The two met during the third Indo-Pakistani War. Although things have changed, old Arslan is back and has returned to his motherland. His heart is full of excitement.

"Colonel Arslan, welcome home." Mushaaf said: "I was supposed to hold a welcome party for you, but now the military situation is urgent and we must deal with the emergency first."

"What happened?" Mhamad asked.

"The Soviets used MiG-25 fighter planes to bomb our targets." Mushaaf said: "Afghan refugee camps, the Wakhan Corridor, and arms storage sites are attacked by them every day."

MiG-25! Hearing this, Hamad immediately frowned.

When the American SR-71 reconnaissance plane began to soar in the sky, the Soviets suddenly discovered that there was no fighter in their arsenal that could intercept such a fighter with a speed exceeding Mach 3.

Therefore, under the auspices of Mikoyan, the MiG-25 fighter jet was quickly developed. In order to overcome the huge heat generated during high-speed flight, the entire fighter jet used a large amount of stainless steel.

With twin engines, twin vertical tails, and a huge rectangular air intake, this fighter already has the basic appearance of later heavy-duty fighters, and when accelerated to the extreme, it can exceed Mach 3.

After the MiG-25 was manufactured, it was discovered that in addition to its advantages of high altitude and high speed, this aircraft was not suitable for air combat due to the heavy stainless steel body. Therefore, most MiG-25s are MiG-25R. , that is, the reconnaissance type. The MiG-25P interception type, and later the reconnaissance/bombing type MiG-25RB was derived from the MiG-25R. When flying from high altitude and high speed, no weapon can stop this aircraft. It's like flying into an uninhabited land.

"Today is the third day of air strikes." Mushaaf said: "This kind of fighter jet continues to violate our airspace. Islamabad orders us to shoot it down no matter what method we use!"

This is a death order. Although this order is a very difficult task for the Peshawar Military District on the front line, they must also execute it. Therefore, Mhammad and old Arslan were urgently transferred back.

"We don't have a fighter that can rise to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters." Old Arslan knew how serious the situation was. He calmly analyzed: "The ceiling of the J-6 is 18,000 meters, and the ceiling of the F-16 The ceiling is less than 18,000 meters. At that height and speed, we have no other choice unless..."

Although old Arslan has left the army for more than ten years, he still knows these equipment well. The old J-6 has a limited ceiling. Although it is claimed to be 18,000, above 16,000, the efficiency of the helm will be reduced. It has dropped sharply. At this altitude, it will enter a tail spin due to stalling at any time. In fact, its prototype, the MiG-19, almost never appeared in the sky above 15,000.

The F-16, a fighter jet that will soon be equipped with Pakistan, is a low-end fighter that comes as a companion to the F-15 in the United States. It has a service ceiling of 18,000 and is very maneuverable. But it is still too difficult to rise above 20,000 meters.

As for the Phantom 3, its performance is very poor and it does not have the interception conditions at all.

"Unless the F-14 fighter jets enter service!" Before the old Arslan finished speaking, Hamad continued: "We can sniper the MiG-25 with the help of the Phoenix missiles on the Tomcat fighter jets!"

Ordinary air-to-air missiles cannot even catch up with the extremely fast-flying MiG-25. Only Phoenix missiles, flying at speeds exceeding Mach 4, can completely hit the MiG-25 at a high enough altitude.

However, the running-in of the equipment takes time. It requires not only a skilled pilot, but also a fully skilled radar operator in the rear cabin. Whether the Phoenix missile can successfully kill depends on the operation of the radar operator.

"It will take at least a month before our Tomcat fighter jets can complete combat deployment. This is already the fastest." Old Arslan said.

The modification of fighter aircraft usually takes more than a year, but now it is less than a month. Add one month to it, and two months is already the fastest speed.

"Then we are just going to watch the Soviet doe show off its power above our heads?" Mushaaf said: "One month, we can't wait that long, we must find a way to shoot down their planes!"

"I have an idea," Mhammad said: "Even if we can't shoot down the Soviet planes, we can temporarily scare them back so that they don't dare to fly across the border again."

"What's the idea?" Mushaaf asked.

"Attack head-on!" Hamad said firmly.

The Free Afghan Army has developed into a powerful force and constantly harasses the Soviet troops stationed in northern Afghanistan. In particular, the Soviet Union is very angry when the important lifeline is blocked in the Panjshir area.

In order to strike the Afghan Free Army, they had to cut off their lifeline, that is, to strike Pakistan, which supported them. However, the scale of the war had to be limited. If a large-scale war broke out with Pakistan, the consequences would be unbearable even for the Soviet Union. After all, the main battlefield of the Soviet Union was still in Europe.

In this case, the Soviet Union could not deploy ground troops, but only used the air force to bomb those areas that supported Afghanistan, such as refugee camps and ammunition storage points.

When low-altitude flights were constantly intercepted by Pakistan, the Soviet Union changed its tactics and used the magic weapon of high altitude and high speed, the MiG-25 fighter!

Until now, no fighter has been able to rise to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, let alone a speed of more than Mach 2. This is the magic weapon of the Soviets.

Because the high altitude and high speed caused the bomb's accuracy to be greatly reduced, the Soviets did not hesitate to improve the MiG-25 again, so that it had the ability to drop laser-guided bombs. At the same time, the laser emission source was on the ground, and the KGB agent held it to aim at the target. In this way, the aircraft could retreat calmly as long as it dropped the bomb, and the guidance of the ground personnel made the bomb's hit accuracy very high. The Afghan Islamic Mujahideen Alliance died in the Soviet laser-guided bombs.

There is no need to worry about being discovered, just fly at high altitudes, especially when flying at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, there is a feeling of overlooking the earth. Especially here is the ozone layer area of ​​the stratosphere, and you can see the scenery of outer space, which is somewhat similar to astronauts.

When driving such a fighter, the heart is excited and excited.

Berilovich sat in the cockpit, the goggles of the helmet had been lowered, and the entire helmet was fully enclosed, somewhat similar to a space suit, which was also prepared for parachuting at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters in case of a malfunction.

When he was at the base in Turkmenistan, his plane had already risen to 15,000 meters, flew over Afghanistan, and was about to enter Pakistan to bomb those hateful Afghans!

There were too many concerns above! We should use powerful weapons to thoroughly bomb Peshawar and other places, so that the Pakistanis would know the consequences of going against the great Soviet Union!

Berilovich turned his eyes back to the inside of the plane. At the same time, a notice from the radar officer of the rear base came through the headset: "Attention, two fighters took off from the Peshawar base in Pakistan and rose to a safe altitude."

"Understood." Berilovich answered while slowly pulling the joystick. Because of the bombs carried, the maneuverability of this fighter has been greatly reduced. He can only do some simple movements, and even climbs carefully.

The moment he was about to enter the sky over Pakistan, he turned on the afterburner.

The two R-15B-300 engines at the tail burst out with huge thrust, and the hot flames at the tail continued to spew out, pushing the fighter to accelerate, accelerate!

Then, the fuselage trembled slightly, and it had easily broken through the sound barrier and continued to accelerate.

Every part of the fuselage was heated by friction with the air, especially the nose, which had risen to more than 100 degrees. In this case, the aluminum alloy had begun to soften. When it accelerated to Mach 3, the temperature of the nose would rise to 300 degrees.

Therefore, it used a large amount of stainless steel, and only stainless steel could maintain good strength at this temperature.

At the same time, as the speed increased, the cockpit began to get hotter and hotter.

The temperature generated by friction also spread to the cockpit. At this time, if you beat an egg on the glass in front, it would be baked instantly, and the cockpit seemed to have become an oven. In order to help the cockpit dissipate heat, in addition to air cooling, the flow of fuel was also used to take away the heat. Even so, the pilot had to wear gloves to work.

After aiming at the course, all Berilovich needed to do was wait. After a minute, he could throw the bomb and fly back in a swagger.

No one could intercept the MiG-25. Even in front of the US Air Force, the MiG-25 was flying freely!

"Attention, prepare to jump, climb to an altitude of 20,000 meters!" At the Peshawar Air Force Base, old Arslan, holding the microphone, commanded calmly.

"Understood." A clear answer came from the radio, and an echo came from the sky. The two silver fighters began to continue climbing.
