Dominate South Asia

The technological advancement of the United States is unquestionable. The engine overhaul line, which is already backward in the United States, is absolutely advanced for Pakistan. When the time comes, it can be modified and become a new engine production line.

For the development of Pakistan, Muhammad has good intentions. Through this man-made accident, a tense atmosphere has been created. In addition, with the upcoming air battle with the Soviets, the US Congress will also support Pakistan one-sidedly and will not deliberately make things difficult for the export of this overhaul line.

Although it may cost a huge amount of money now, the return is also quite generous. Needless to say, quietly cooperating with Iran to transport the engines of Iran's Tomcat fighters to Pakistan for overhaul can earn back the initial investment in the overhaul line.

Muhammad looked at everything in Peshawar. With his own efforts, the Pakistan Air Force has begun to take off and will become one of the best air forces in South Asia and even the world.

In modern warfare, without air supremacy, there is nothing!

Muhammad guessed correctly. A few hours later, John came to report that the news had been sent back. Grumman agreed, but it just needed to communicate with Pratt \u0026 Whitney to determine the price. Congress also needed to hold a meeting to discuss it. However, with Grumman's operation, there should be no problem.

Now, the only thing to wait for is Pakistan's reply. If there is not enough money and it is planned to buy on credit, then this deal can no longer be done. Grumman provided another plan to replace some of the company's sealed TF-30 engines with Pakistan's Tomcat fighters that are about to reach the end of their life, first to solve the urgent problem, and then to ship them back to the United States for overhaul.

Muhammad immediately called the president and got the president's approval. He had to sell everything he had to raise enough funds for Grumman!

After reaching an agreement on the export of the overhaul line, the only problem Muhammad faced was to defeat the Soviet air force.

This will be a severe battle.

The Peshawar Military District is in the process of intensive preparations. Since it is very close to Afghanistan, once there is a situation, it will be the most advanced defense point.

Time passed day by day. In a blink of an eye, half a month passed. The calm atmosphere was tense. Everyone knew that the Soviets were accumulating strength and preparing for a large-scale battle.

The J-6 repair factory in Pakistan is also in the process of intensive preparations. American experts have arrived in advance and inspected it. They found that the equipment inside was too old. Therefore, according to the previous plan, the new equipment was urgently airlifted here to transform it so that the TF-30 engine can be overhauled.

Every day, two Tomcat fighters will take off from the Peshawar base to patrol along the border and use the powerful AWG-9 radar to scan the Afghan airspace on the other side of the border.

Once there is a situation, the E-3 early warning aircraft will take off to thoroughly monitor the entire northern airspace of Afghanistan.

Tajikistan, near the capital Dushanbe, Aini Air Force Base.

This air base was built for the Soviet Union to better control Afghanistan's airspace. Now, a large number of fighters are stationed in this base.

Almost all of them are MiG-29s, with twin engines and twin vertical tails. The maneuverability of these fighters exceeds that of any other fighters, and they are not inferior to the American F-15 in dogfights.

The emblems on the tail wing have not been painted over. You can see that this is the JG-3 wing of the East German Air Force. After the Soviet MiG-29 fighters were finalized, they were first sent to Germany on the front line. This flying wing has the most skilled skills in operating MiG-29 fighters.

In addition to the MiG-29, there are also several Tu-22 Backfire bombers. These bombers are full of bombs. They will use their actual actions to express their opposition to the new Afghan People's Government.

On the other side of the runway, a large aircraft with a mushroom plate on top was quietly parked. Just from the special T-shaped vertical tail at the tail, it can be judged that this is a Soviet Il-76 transport aircraft, and the one with the mushroom plate is a new type of early warning aircraft modified from the Il-76 transport aircraft, the A-50 early warning aircraft.

The four engines were hoisted under the wings, and at this time, the crew members were all in place.

The early warning aircraft was towed to the runway by a tractor. After many days of preparation, now they can finally start the first strike operation.

Aiming at the runway in front, the captain, Major Serebrov, began to start the four engines in turn.

The violent noise was transmitted into the cabin. The seats of the early warning personnel in the cabin were rotated 90 degrees, all facing forward. This is the standard posture for takeoff and landing.

As the four engines increased the throttle, the early warning aircraft began to taxi on the runway. The people in the cabin endured the increasing noise, but they could do nothing.

The AWACS was modified from an ordinary transport plane. The place where they were located was originally a cargo hold, and the sound insulation was not very good. They had no choice but to stuff cotton balls in their ears.

In addition to the sound insulation, the most unbearable thing for them was that they had to hold it in for the next few hours. There was no toilet on the plane, so they could only use diapers.

The bulky A-50 AWACS began to take off, and almost taxied to the end of the runway before the captain pulled up the plane. The huge plane took off.

Climb higher, keep climbing higher! Just after the A-50 AWACS took off, the MiG-29 fleet took off quickly behind it.

Climbing to an altitude of nine thousand meters, the A-50 AWACS leveled off, the radar on the top turned on and preheated, and at the same time, the AWACS personnel turned ninety degrees and sat on the instrument panel in front of him.

A bright line appeared very clearly on the screen on the control panel and began to rotate, which was a manifestation of the normal operation of the radar.

"Engineer, hurry, box No. 3." At this moment, an AWACS personnel shouted, and the screen in front of him was blurred.

Due to equipment defects, the components in the AWACS often malfunctioned, so spare parts were prepared on the aircraft to remove the faulty components at any time and replace them with intact components, and then the engineers would try to repair them in their own small maintenance room.

The engineer took a screwdriver and neatly disassembled a box under the control panel, replaced it with a new one, and then connected it, and the radar screen suddenly became clear.

"43 Squadron, AWACS call, please answer if received." The AWACS personnel turned on the radio.

"43 Squadron received, please indicate the direction." The four MiG-29 fighters of the 43 Squadron that took off first began to contact the AWACS.

There are twelve AWACS personnel on the AWACS, and each of them can command four to six fighters to fight. The Soviet formation has four fighters as a squadron, so they can guide more than a dozen squadrons to fight at the same time.

The fighters at the Aini Air Force Base kept taking off and communicating with the AWACS. At the same time, two MiG-31 groups that took off from Turkmenistan also flew over.

When there was no AWACS, the MiG-31 was a powerful AWACS, and after the AWACS, the MiG-31, with the cooperation of the AWACS, would be the first wave of killers.

As the group of aircraft continued to form a formation, it began to enter the northern mountainous area of ​​Afghanistan from the sky over Tajikistan.

Alert! Alert! As the radar of the Tomcat fighter scanned the situation over Tajikistan in the north, after reporting to the rear, the two Tomcat fighters entered the northern airspace of Afghanistan without hesitation and began the first interception.

Peshawar Air Force Base.

The sharp alarm sounded throughout the base, and all the pilots on standby were rushing to their fighters.

The E-3 early warning aircraft stayed at one end of the runway. When it received the order, the early warning aircraft slid onto the runway.

The four CFM56 turbofan engines burst out with the maximum thrust, and the early warning aircraft slid on the runway, and then rushed into the sky.

This early warning aircraft was modified from the fuselage of the Boeing 707 passenger aircraft. The cabin was relatively quiet, and more than a dozen early warning personnel were also quickly preparing.

The radar cover on the back of the aircraft began to rotate, and countless bright spots appeared on their screens.

A large fleet! There are at least forty enemy aircraft!

Following the E-3 early warning aircraft, the EC-130H electronic jammer also began to take off. Behind them, a pair of Tomcat fighters kept sliding off the runway and rushed into the sky at maximum speed.

With all wings swept back, the Tomcat fighters flew towards the war zone at a sprint speed.

The first direct contact with the Soviet Air Force has finally begun, and we must hit them head-on! Beat the Soviets back completely and let them know that their fighter performance cannot compete with Pakistan's fighters! Let them choose to accept the status quo!

The radar operators of the two Tomcat fighters in the front were constantly operating, and under the belly, two AIM-54C Phoenix missiles began to be injected with pre-launch data.

At the same time, the radar warning receiver sounded, and they were locked by the opponent's fighter at the same time.

MiG-31!

The only ones who could lock them at a distance of 100 kilometers and launch missiles were the perverted MiG-31 fighters using phased array radars like the Soviets!

However, they already had experience in dealing with missiles launched by such fighters. The opponent's radar was not easily interfered with, but the missiles were guided by radio commands and were easily interfered with.

As long as the electronic jammers behind can catch up in time, they can safely shoot down the enemy.

"Eagle, pay attention, the MiG-31 four-plane formation has launched missiles at you!" The news from the early warning aircraft came through the headset.

"Received." Rick said calmly, his eyes covered by wide goggles flashing coldly.

"Fire!"

With the sound, two Phoenix missiles detached from the racks one after another and flew into the distant sky.
