Chapter 221 Dense Airspace

"Quick, get into the cave and take shelter!" On the ground, an old man working in the fields heard the shouts of the propaganda team.

When I looked up, I saw that it was the members of the Liberal Party in the village who were organizing the villagers to escape.

"What are you hiding from?" the old man asked.

"The Soviets are coming for an air raid." Party members shouted: "Go into the cave and take shelter!"

Soviets, air raid? The old man looked at the sky in the distance and seemed to hear a rumbling sound, like thunder.

Throwing down the hoe, the old man ran towards the mountain behind under the organization of the members of the Liberal Party.

Recently, mining has been going on in the mountain, and a hole dozens of meters deep has been dug. Now it can be used as an air raid shelter.

"Soviet devils, go back to your hometown! Why did you come to Afghanistan and destroy our lives!" The old man kept cursing as he ran.

This is a world where the weak eat the strong. If you want to avoid being bullied, the only choice is to become stronger!

In the sky, battles are measured in seconds.

The MiG-31 was in a four-plane formation. Facing the two Tomcat fighters that rushed up, two of them fired R33 missiles. The other two turned on afterburners at high altitude and sprinted quickly, trying to Get closer.

Originally, the radars of the Tomcat fighter jets were locked on two of them, in scanning and tracking mode. However, the two MiG-31s ​​flying from high altitudes were soon out of reach. One Phoenix missile missed the target, and the other one missed the target. The Phoenix missiles were still flying rapidly.

The MiG-31 fighter jet flying at high altitude, after avoiding the Phoenix missile strike, approached a distance of 60 kilometers from the Tomcat fighter jet and fired the R33 missile again.

Listening to the sound of the radar warning receiver, Rick was still driving the fighter plane smoothly. He had to persist until the Phoenix missile entered the active guidance process!

Finally, the radar operator in the rear cabin said: "The Phoenix guidance is complete."

"Dive." Rick shouted to his wingman, and at the same time, he pushed the nose of the plane and began to dive downward.

There are two more R33 missiles shooting towards him. He must avoid those missiles. In complex mountainous areas, the way to avoid them is still to use the clutter below.

Two Tomcat fighter jets dived straight down from an altitude of five thousand meters, followed by two missiles, which also began to change direction and dive downwards.

When the missile's seeker was downwards, it immediately encountered ground clutter. At this time, the R33 had reached the final stage of semi-active radar guidance. The seeker received the radar waves emitted by the carrier aircraft and illuminated the target. , tracking target.

When encountering clutter on the ground, the two R33s began to calculate quickly, but their computers, which were made using analog circuits, were soon overloaded.

"Boom!" A MiG-31 was hit by a Phoenix missile, and the R33 missile it guided immediately lost its target signal.

Another R33 missile was still flying towards the Tomcat fighter jet.

The ground is approaching rapidly, bearing huge overload and huge psychological pressure. At the next moment, it will collide with the ground and emit beautiful sparks.

Rick still persisted.

"The opponent's missile has lost its target, pull up immediately!" the radar operator in the rear cabin shouted.

Rick pulled the control lever back hard. The Tomcat fighter still used ordinary hydraulic operation, but this was an easy-to-control fighter. As he pulled, the fighter pulled up, almost touching the ground, and re-opened. Fly into the blue sky.

Fight, keep fighting!

"Soviet devils! Soviet devils parachuted!" The old man on the ground saw the flowers blooming in the sky before he ran into the cave. Suddenly, the old man became excited.

"Let's go and catch the Soviet devils!" the old man shouted loudly.

"No, it's dangerous, come back! Our Freedom Army will catch you!" shouted a member of the Liberal Party responsible for the safety of the villagers.

The old man didn't listen to him. He took a hoe and ran towards the direction where the parachute landed.

When Rick pulled up, the radar operator behind him once again used the AWG-9 radar to lock the MiG-31 on the opposite side. Two Phoenix missiles had been launched, and the fighter plane was also equipped with a Sparrow medium-range missile.

This is the latest AIM-7M Sparrow missile. Its performance is already very stable. Before the AIM-120 missile was put into service, it had always been the most advanced medium-range missile in the United States. In the Gulf War, almost all the results beyond visual range were created by this missile.

At this time, it was shooting upward, looking at the empty sky, and it was very easy to capture the signal of the MiG-31.

"Launch!" Rick shouted.

The radar operator in the rear cabin pressed the button, a fire flashed under the wing, and the medium-range Sparrow missile was fired at a distance of thirty kilometers.

The single-pulse seeker kept receiving signals, and the MiG-31 began to accelerate and climb toward high altitude. At the same time, the speed continued to increase.

Want to take advantage of height? Speed ​​advantage? Due to the improved missile body, the AIM-7M missile can reach a speed of Mach 4, which has exceeded the opponent's maximum speed. Moreover, the two sides are now approaching, and the opponent has no intention of avoiding it.

The opponent did not evade or even perform high-G maneuvers. Just like that, the 40-kilogram warhead of the AIM-7M missile exploded near the opponent. The huge air inlet of the MiG-31 sucked in countless fragments. The engine stalls.

The pilots then began to rescue the plane, and Muhammad finally discovered that the other side had not noticed that he had launched a missile!

In this era, the performance of radar warning receivers was not very stable, and it might give false alarms or fail. This MiG-31, as the most outstanding interceptor in the Soviet Air Force, had a fault in its radar warning receiver.

"Eaglet, pay attention, three o'clock direction, thirty kilometers, MiG-29 four-plane formation." The command of the early warning aircraft continued to come from the headset.

"Eaglet received." Rick replied. His wingman also avoided the attack of R33 and was flying in formation with him. They would continue to fight with the Soviet fighters.

The radar operator in the rear cabin continued to operate quickly. Rick's fighter had one Sparrow missile left. After locking a target, the second Sparrow missile flew out of the wing.

Peshawar

All fighters were sent out, Tomcats, F-16s, all equipped with air superiority, relying on the E-3 early warning, each team was flying towards the Soviet formation, and separated to intercept.

A large number of fighters were concentrated in the narrow airspace.

Muhammad was also having a headache. Originally, he thought that the Soviet fighters were at most two squadrons, so their predetermined tactics were to use Phoenix to solve the problem at a long distance, and then retreat, let the Soviets chase, and when they stopped chasing, they would return and continue to use Phoenix until the opponent's fuel was almost consumed, and then rush up to kill and annihilate the opponent.

But now, dozens of fighters are concentrated in such a small space over Afghanistan. Just looking at the battlefield on the front line is enough to make people dazzled.

Fortunately, it is the American E-3 early warning aircraft, which can command dozens of fighters at the same time to intercept their respective targets. Otherwise, even if two E-2s take off at the same time, they cannot command so many fighters to fight.

"We originally wanted to avoid close combat with the MiG-29, but now it seems that fighting is indispensable." Old Arslan said.

"Well, we must beat back the Soviets and let them know that their latest fighters still have no advantage in front of the Tomcat." Muhammad said: "Remind our air warriors not to enter their attack envelope. The forty-five degrees in the front hemisphere are all dangerous areas, which consume their energy."

The MiG-29 uses hydraulic operation, and the Soviet machinery is durable. As a result, it is difficult to operate. Fighting up and down with the MiG-29 will rapidly consume the physical strength of the Soviet pilots. Flying a fighter is a physical job!

"I understand." Old Arslan said that when a pilot, he must keep exercising. Now, the muscles on Old Arslan's arms are still strong for this reason.

Now, the West is already in a mess, so what about the East Front? Will the Indians come to make trouble? Now Muhammad is eagerly looking forward to the Indians to get involved.

As long as the Indians join in, he will have a full reason!

On the battlefield in the west, countless fighter planes were flying in a small space.

Hussein was flying a Tomcat fighter plane, diving down from a high altitude. An AIM-9M missile detached from the wing rack and flew towards a MiG-29 aircraft.

As a third-generation fighter plane, the MiG-29 has a significantly improved field of view compared to the original Soviet fighter plane. However, the high back of the aircraft still makes its rear view very poor. Moreover, since it is a single-pilot, it is impossible to see all the surrounding airspace.

The pilot did not notice the incoming missile until he heard a roar from the tail engine and one of his engines was destroyed. He then realized that he had been attacked.

He tried hard to operate the fighter plane to prevent it from crashing. At the same time, the other three MiG-29s in the formation were all pulled up to find the sneak attacker.

The two Tomcat fighter planes had already pulled up and rushed to an altitude of 20,000 meters.

Three MiG-29s followed and climbed, but the target soon disappeared in front of them. Although it was a twin-engine, the MiG-29's climbing rate was not as high as that of the Tomcat.

Inside the A-50 early warning aircraft, the mechanic was working hard, stuffing a new device into a box. Just now, there was another malfunction here.

The early warning personnel breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the bright spot reappear on the screen in front of them. Just now, he couldn't guide the squadron again. Now he saw that one of them had left the formation and was flying very slowly. It seemed that it was ambushed.

"643 Squadron, pay attention, six o'clock direction, altitude three thousand, two-plane formation." He continued to guide.

In New Delhi, the Iron Lady stood in front of the high-hanging map, without saying a word, and the senior military officials stood behind her.
