Dominate South Asia

"Boom!" When the Phoenix missile judged that it had entered the explosion range, it detonated its seeker, and the fragment warhead exploded, sending countless shrapnel flying.

It penetrated the stainless steel skin of the MiG-31 and hit various parts of the MiG-31. Anatoly in the rear cabin saw through the gap of the instrument in front of him that on the glass of the cockpit cover in front, It's blood red.

Anatoly did not wait and immediately pulled the ejection lever of his seat.

When the MiG-31 began to turn, the other two R-33 missiles became uncontrolled rockets. The personnel in the EC-130H electronic jammer watched the missiles fly past their own side. I couldn't help but click my tongue, life and death were only a matter of seconds.

The sunset is like blood.

When the Tomcat fighter jet landed on the runway, Rick watched the ground crew cheering to greet it. This time, Rick achieved the result of shooting down another one, and he also protected the jammer.

After sliding the Tomcat fighter jet back to the hangar and letting the ground crew maintain it, hang up bombs, and prepare for the next takeoff, Rick calmly walked to the war room with his radar officer.

Every battle must be carefully analyzed to identify deficiencies. In the past, there was only the pilot himself, but now, the analysts in the war room have increased to a group including early warning aircraft commanders, jammer operators, base commanders, etc.

When he walked in, Rick sat in his seat and looked at everyone who was waiting.

"Okay, our young eagle Rick is back. This time, he followed his radar officer and shot down another fighter plane." Arslan said: "What we encountered this time was the Soviets' new aircraft. They Having missiles with a range of more than 100 kilometers almost cost us.”

Only by calmly analyzing your opponent and finding out their weaknesses can you win the next battle.

Rick looked above. Chief of Staff Mhamad was also here. This time he heard on the radio that the person commanding the jammer to continue jamming in the full frequency band was Chief of Staff Mhamad. It was precisely because of his command that the The incoming missile failed. From this perspective, the chief of staff saved himself again.

The slide projector began to play the slide show, which showed an aircraft similar to the MiG-25. The ruggedness of the Soviets was evident at first glance. Arslan said: "We obtained information on this aircraft from our ally the United States. Improvement Since the MiG-25, the focus has been on the engine and radar. Because of the new radar, they use a two-seat layout, with someone behind to operate the radar. At the same time, they are equipped with new missiles.”

The picture was taken by satellite, and you can see it clearly from a bird's eye view. The United States has received only so much information. When they heard that the Tomcat fighter jets at the Peshawar Air Force Base had intercepted such an enemy plane, the U.S. intelligence agency was immediately tempted, and Grumman even sent a team to arrive on a special plane to stay. In Peshawar Military District.

How is the performance of the Tomcat fighter, especially its performance in combat? Grumman found that it was a very bad move to remove all the technical personnel last time. They want to leave some technical personnel here to summarize the performance of the Tomcat fighter. Combat data, this first-hand information, is very critical.

In a dozen hours, those people will land at Peshawar Air Force Base.

"Rick, please tell me your judgment." Arslan said.

"When they locked on me, the radar warning receiver did not sound. This radar must be a new type of fire control radar. It can lock on without single-pulse continuous wave irradiation. It is no worse than our AWG-9 radar. The performance of the opponent's missile is estimated to be similar to our Phoenix, but its anti-interference ability is poor," Rick said, and after landing, he concluded.

"What's the judgment on the jammer?" Arslan continued to ask.

"Our jammer cannot effectively interfere with the opponent's radar. The anti-jamming ability of this radar is very poor. However, we can jam their missiles, which means that their missiles use radio command guidance in the middle process." The jammer's The commander said: "Next time we encounter another enemy, we can use high-power interference, especially interference with the opponent's radio command guidance band to achieve the greatest effect."

"What about early warning aircraft?"

"We flew relatively far this time, more than 200 kilometers away from the other party. From the perspective of the other party's attack, the maximum range of the other party's missiles will not exceed 150 kilometers. In the future, we only need to be within 200 kilometers of the territory. There should be no danger when cruising. At the same time, we need to be more vigilant about those high-altitude aircraft. If they want to maximize the range of long-range missiles, they will definitely increase their speed.”

Looking at the analysis of these people, it is basically correct, and it is not very different from the data obtained by Mhammad in later generations. The Russians tried their best to sell the MiG-31 to the country, but unfortunately the country was not interested in it.

"This MiG-31 fighter is a masterpiece of the Mikoyan Design Bureau." After seeing the analysis, Mhamad said: "It uses two high-thrust turbofan engines, which consumes less fuel, has high power, and has supersonic speed. It has cruise capability. It carries a new phased array radar developed by the Soviets. It has strong anti-interference ability and multi-target attack capabilities. With the new long-range missile, it is comparable to our Tomcat in terms of long-range interception. ”

Phased array radar! Everyone was shocked, but they did not doubt Mhamad's words at all.

"However, its weaknesses are also obvious. It places too much emphasis on high-altitude and high-speed capabilities and has poor low-altitude combat capabilities. And its long-range missiles have poor anti-interference capabilities. Therefore, if we encounter it again, we must take interference measures to destroy it. If it is not killed at a long distance and comes within visual range, we can also rely on the super maneuverability of the Tomcat fighter to shoot it down in close combat," Mhamad continued. .

At this time, it was not the time to hold back. Mhamad told all what he knew for later generations. Although he also learned it from later magazines, it was all information that had been made public after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and it was 80% correct. above.

After the personnel of the early warning aircraft, jammers and Tomcat fleet studied how to cooperate with each other, the meeting ended and it was already dark outside.

Watching the night fall, Mhammad felt a little emotional. Unconsciously, he had been deeply integrated into this place and changed it. How will history continue to develop?

"Chief of Staff Mhammad." A voice came from behind. Mhammad knew it was Arslan without turning around.

"Arslan, were you scared when you saw that missile flying towards Rick today?" Hamad asked, taking a cup of milk tea from Arslan.

"Of course I'm scared, but I'm proud of Rick. Today, he made the right choice." Arslan said: "But I'm a little worried that the MiG-31 we shot down today fell into Afghanistan. "

At that time, in order for the jammer to have a good jamming effect, it was near the border area of ​​Afghanistan, and the opponent's aircraft launched missiles in Afghanistan. In the emergency situation at that time, Rick's fighter plane almost flew to the border line, and The Phoenix missile crossed the border and shot down the MiG-31 over Afghanistan.

In previous air battles, Pakistani fighter planes did not cross the border at all. They always fought in Pakistani airspace and belonged to homeland air defense. But now, their missiles flew into Afghan airspace and shot down the Soviet plane. In nature, It has transformed from homeland air defense into an invasion.

Mhamad also frowned when he heard Arslan's words. Yes, the Soviets were originally aggressive, and doing this really gave the Soviets an excuse.

However, the situation at that time had to be like this, and it will have to be like this next time we encounter this situation! Mhammad later became determined. When the other party also had long-range missiles, he launched missiles in Afghan airspace and attacked his own aircraft on the border. He couldn't fight back? If this is the case, then how can we fight this battle!

If the conflict escalates, then fine. When Pakistan faces pressure from Soviet troops, Americans will be able to support Pakistan more sincerely.

"Today's air battle, report it truthfully." Mhammad said: "If the Soviets really want to provoke, the 11th Squadron and the 15th Squadron at our Peshawar base will let them know what modern warfare is!"

With the advanced F-16 and F-14 fighter jets, Mhamad is full of confidence. He is not afraid of the MiG-31. What else does the Soviets have to fear? If it really comes, let’s fight!

What he was afraid of was not the Soviets, but the rivals in the east. Mhamad took a few sips of milk tea and looked to the east, where Pakistan's real enemy was!

MiG-31 was shot down! After receiving the news of the air battle, Khosnetsov sat down on his chair. How is this possible!

When the intelligence from the front line came together, when the radar operator in the rear cabin was found by searchers in a mountainous area and sent back to the Turkmenistan Air Force Base by helicopter, Khosnetsov learned about the course of the air battle, especially, Our fighter plane was shot down on our own territory!

Suddenly, Khosnetsov's eyes rolled. This was not an ordinary aerial confrontation, this was a serious political incident! This is not only related to an air strike against the Afghan resistance organization, but also related to the national honor of the Soviet Union. This matter must be dealt with seriously!

Now, what Khosnetsov needs to do is to report this matter to Moscow. Those in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee can no longer criticize himself for expanding the war. This is clearly the Pakistanis who have broken the rules, and they must be given a profound punishment. lesson!
