Dominate South Asia

In the air battle here, the MiG-29 fighter jets have begun to break away. Obviously, they are all decoys, and the MiG-31 attack is the real attack.

Seeing the two missiles flying closer and closer, the personnel on the early warning aircraft and the jammer aircraft were also full of nervousness. What's going on? What's going on? How come the missiles that could be easily disrupted last time were not affected at all this time?

Hamad's mind reacted for a second or two, and he suddenly realized that the Soviets had changed the seeker! The missile flying this time is no longer semi-active radar guidance, but an anti-radiation seeker!

Our own early warning aircraft and jammers are all sources of strong electromagnetic radiation, and the other party uses this to discover our own side!

"Turn off all radiation sources immediately, shut down the radar, and stop the jammer!" Hamad said: "What is flying is an anti-radiation missile!"

Anti-radiation missiles, missiles designed to hunt early warning aircraft and jammers!

After hearing Mhamad's words, the personnel in the air immediately reacted, shutting down the radar and jamming, and then the captain made a large maneuver and flew towards low altitude.

Both aircraft are propeller aircraft and have good low-altitude performance.

The two missiles high in the sky were still flying forward, and seemed to find nothing wrong. They continued to fly for more than ten seconds, and then exploded in the sky.

It is indeed an anti-radiation missile!

The battle is over. Two MiG-29s were shot down, and one Tomcat fighter was lost. This ratio is already amazing. You know, since Tomcat fighters were equipped with the Pakistan Air Force, they have almost always won a one-sided victory. .

Colonel Glitter and his radar officer, who landed after parachuting, were rescued and stood in the conference room again with gloomy expressions on their faces.

"This time, we encountered the Soviets' new fighter plane." Mhamad said: "This is the Soviet Union's third-generation fighter plane. It is no longer the previous aircraft with backward electronic equipment and insufficient maneuverability. Today We suffered some losses in the air battle, but at the same time, we must find our shortcomings and find ways to overcome them and defeat them in the next battle.”

"The first problem we have to solve is how to get rid of the opponent's lock." Hussein said: "We have the advantage of long-range missiles, but in this battle, they intercepted them from our pulse Doppler radar They were freed, so we couldn't lock on to them, and the four Phoenix missiles fired from the front were all shot away."

The radar warning receiver of the MiG-29 was unable to detect the radar signal of the AWG-9, which changed to the scanning state. The reason why they discovered that the Tomcat fighter on the opposite side was launching Phoenix missiles was because the two MiGs behind it The echo was detected by the phased array radar of the -31 aircraft.

Moreover, with the MiG-31 in command, they could easily turn sideways, breaking out of lock and temporarily disappearing from the radar screen.

"I have a way." Rick said from the side: "Next time, when we lock again, they will definitely continue to use steering to get rid of the lock. We will follow the steering immediately. As long as the angle is not 90 degrees, we will not be locked. It will be filtered out by radar as clutter.”

Follow the turn? Hearing Rick's words, Glitter couldn't help but shake his head: "What kind of tactic is this? We have never used it in the U.S. Navy."

"We haven't used it before, but as long as we are under the command of the early warning aircraft and can follow the turn in time, we should be able to avoid the missile from being unlocked." Rick said: "Colonel Glitter, do you have a better way?"

Except for phased array radar, any pulse Doppler radar has this shortcoming. This is determined by the principle of pulse Doppler radar and cannot be avoided.

Colonel Glitter had no other choice. Facing Rick's question, he could only lower his head.

"The second problem is the MiG-29's helmet sight and large off-axis combat bombs, which put us in danger during combat." Hussein continued, remembering that he was almost killed in an air combat. Shot down, life was really hanging by a thread. The maneuverability of the opponent's fighter jet was not inferior to the Tomcat fighter piloted by him. It did not lose the wind during vertical maneuvers, and its horizontal hovering was only a little worse than their own fighter jet. The Soviets The progress in fighter aircraft has been tremendous in recent years.

Hearing Hussein's words, Glitter also felt sad. He had also been hit by the opponent's large off-axis fighting bullet. In close combat with the opponent, the performance of the AIM-9L was worse.

"We try to use mid-range air combat tactics and avoid falling into close-range combat." Rick said, saying this seems to have dampened his own ambition. Without close-range combat, is it still a fighter jet? But the threat is real.

"We can defeat them in horizontal circling. Our stable circling radius is smaller than theirs. We can cut the radius to chase them and kill them!" Greet said suddenly.

"We need combat bombs with better performance." Mhamad said: "Now, we are facing the Soviet Union's most advanced fighter jets that are technically superior to us, and we need the help of our American allies."

Mhammad was keenly aware that this was a good opportunity. The Soviets' aggressive posture was both a challenge and an opportunity.

In particular, the U.S. Navy colonels in front of them have been shot down. The Americans will definitely not be willing to suffer such a failure. This is an opportunity for the Americans. They must be sure that their weapons are more advanced than those of the Soviets.

"We have just been equipped with AIM-9M missiles. I will apply to my superiors to transfer this type of missile." Grete said.

It is improved on the basis of the AIM9L missile. For example, it has an infrared search system with a closed slot cooling system, so that the carrier does not need the refrigerant. It is very convenient to mount and launch. At the same time, the anti-interference ability of the seeker is stronger. Although the off-axis launch ability is still not as good as the R-73, it is the latest American combat missile. The powerful AIM-9X in the future has not yet started pre-research.

"Thank you very much for the support of our allies." Muhammad said: "With this missile, we can better fight the Soviets."

Mhammad immediately regarded these missiles as support from the Americans. It is impossible to ask Pakistan to pay. Under the current circumstances, the Americans will definitely be willing to use actual combat to test the performance of the AIM-9M missile.

"Now, I have thought of a new tactic." Muhammad said: "Next time we encounter the Soviet MiG-29 fleet, we can use new tactics to destroy them."

Destroy them? Is it so magical? Grete listened to Muhammad's words, and gradually, his eyes widened.

Although they lost two MiG-29s, they shot down a Tomcat fighter. This was a victory for the Soviet side. They broke the myth of the invincibility of the Tomcat fighter, got rid of the Phoenix's shooting, and killed the opponent's fighter in close combat!

If one of them had not dived at low altitude to escape the shooting of the R-73, they could have achieved two results.

The MiG-29 is a successfully designed fighter that can completely compete with the main fighter of the American aircraft carrier formation!

Three days later, another air strike began.

Two MiG-29 four-plane formations were still arranged in a dense formation. Fifty kilometers behind them, the MiG-31 acted as an early warning aircraft and a long-range killing force. In addition to these formations, there was also a Tu-16 electronic jammer behind them.

Not only the Americans have jammers, but our side also has them! This time they have new preparations, so that the opponent's medium-range missiles will also be ineffective in the interference!

Facing the Soviets' crossing the border, the fighters of the Peshawar Air Force Base took off immediately, and a four-plane formation flew towards the Soviet aircraft formation.

The Tu-16 jammer was ready, completely targeting the radar signal of the AWG-9. As long as the opponent's radar was turned on, it would start to interfere with the maximum power.

At the same time, the MiG-29 formation also began to accelerate and approach. As long as they used lateral maneuvers to get rid of the opponent's lock and enter close combat, they would not fall behind at all.

Turning on the afterburner R33 engine, with black smoke coming out of the tail, the MiG-29 broke through the sound barrier and continued to accelerate.

One hundred and fifty kilometers, one hundred and twenty kilometers, one hundred kilometers, eighty kilometers... Just when the MiG-29 was about to attack with its own R-27 missiles, the four fighters on the opposite side suddenly turned, accelerated, and actually fled backwards!

What happened? The radar operator in the MiG-31 aircraft was immediately surprised. Isn't the Pakistani Air Force very good at fighting? When did they learn to run away before engaging in battle?

There is a problem, there must be a problem!

The radar operator stared at his radar screen closely. The phased array radar in front can detect targets 200 kilometers away and has downward vision capability. This is the most advanced airborne radar in the Soviet Union.

Sure enough, he found a four-plane formation at low altitude 180 kilometers north of the formation, approaching rapidly!

At nine o'clock, one hundred and fifty away, four targets! He immediately passed the information to the MiG-29 fleet in front through the data link.

The Pakistanis wanted to launch a sneak attack, but unfortunately the cooperation was not very tacit! The MiG-29 leader pilot thought that in order to quickly catch the opponent, he continued to turn on the afterburner and led the formation to quickly meet the enemy. He also had to do this and quickly shorten the distance to close combat, so that they would have a chance to fight with the Tomcat fighter.

The MiG-29 fleet, dragging black smoke, flew quickly towards the target. Just 80 kilometers away, the opponent turned and flew away.

What's going on? The MiG-29 pilot began to smell a conspiracy.
