Dominate South Asia
Chapter 222 Cannon Fodder
"Prime Minister, our air force is now fully prepared." Air Force Commander-in-Chief Jidi said.
"The Kashmir Valley was originally our area, but now, the Pakistani air force is allowed to fly freely. This is our shame." The Iron Lady said calmly: "Now, let us use victory to wash away our shame!"
Two months ago, India finally got what it wanted and was equipped with the Soviet Union's latest MiG-29. When Indian pilots began to fly this fighter, they immediately felt its powerful maneuverability, which was much stronger than the fighters they had driven before, especially the helmet sight with increased off-axis combat bombs. Any target that entered its attack envelope would be shot down.
They finally regained their confidence. After several months of training, they mastered all the skills. Because they were not very skilled, the lead plane of their formation was still flown by Soviet pilots.
Under such circumstances, it was easy for them to drive away Pakistan's patrol fighters over Kashmir.
Unlike the last time, the Soviets instigated the Indians to start the war, but the Soviets did not keep their word and finally let the Indians fight alone and had to surrender because of the pressure from the Americans.
This time, the Soviets have already started a large-scale battle. The Soviets will suddenly increase the pressure on Pakistan. In this case, Pakistan should give up the right to fly over Kashmir, which does not belong to them, and return to the previous state.
There was a kind of fiery in the eyes of the Iron Lady: "Shoot down all Pakistani aircraft flying over Kashmir, including their controlled areas!"
At the beginning, Pakistan established a no-fly zone in the Indian-controlled area, and now India wants to take it back and restrict their actions in the Pakistan-controlled area.
Chandigarh Air Force Base.
Originally, the most important base in India was Adampur Base, but in the last bombing, this base was completely in ruins. The Indians did not have half a year to restore the normal operation of this base, so they could only put the newly introduced MiG-29 fighters at the Chandigarh Air Force Base.
This air force base was originally a flight base for large transport aircraft, with a wide and long runway. At this time, on the runway, the MiG-29 began to take off.
The auxiliary air intake was opened, and the MiG-29 did not turn on the afterburner. Relying on two RD33 turbofan engines, the MiG-29 took off quickly from the runway. Under the wings, two R-27 medium-range missiles and four R73 combat missiles were mounted.
In the Soviet style, the most advanced weapons and equipment equipped by themselves will not be exported. Even if they are exported, they are all reduced versions. This time, in order to resist Pakistan's air force advantage, these weapons are the same as those used by the Soviet army.
Of course, the ground crew sent by the Soviet Union is responsible for maintenance. These missiles and fighters are all controlled by the Soviet Union, and the Indian pilots must also obey the orders of the Soviet leader.
In order to have combat effectiveness as soon as possible, India can only agree to these requirements of the Soviets.
In fact, the most suitable airport is Srinagar. Unfortunately, they cannot expose their strength in Pakistan's no-fly zone, so they can only deploy it at the airport in the rear.
In this way, the MiG-29 will inevitably bring a disadvantage in range. When flying over Kashmir, their fuel is not enough for them to fight for fifteen minutes. When taking off, they dare not turn on the afterburner, and can only take off slowly, accelerate, and climb.
For air combat, fifteen minutes is enough!
One after another, MiG-29s took off continuously. This time, the Soviet Union urgently provided India with thirty MiG-29s. Except for two because of maintenance, the remaining twenty-eight took off.
At the same time, the Amritsar Air Force Base, which is closer to the Kashmir region, took off nearly thirty MiG-21 fighters and began to fly towards the Kashmir region.
The Amritsar Air Force Base was about to be abandoned, but after Pakistan bombed the Adampur Air Force Base, this front-line airport only 50 kilometers away from Pakistan was used again. The MiG-21 fleet of the 27th Wing in central India was deployed here. Once a situation occurs, they will take off immediately.
"Attention, use maneuvering flight to shake off the opponent's Phoenix missiles. As long as we get close, victory will be ours." Colonel Yevgeny, the leader of the MiG-29 and the temporary commander of the flight regiment, shouted on the radio.
The MiG-21s that flew in advance were actually sent to their deaths. These MiG-21 fighters were used to consume the Phoenix missiles of the Tomcat fighters defending Pakistan.
Although the Phoenix missiles are very powerful, they are too heavy. Now each fighter of the Pakistan Air Force only carries two Phoenix missiles.
Moreover, with the Soviet Union bombing the ridiculous Afghan Freedom Party government, the Pakistani Air Force might have transferred all its Tomcat fighters to the western front. If only the F-16 fighters were left, they would be more confident.
The MiG-21 fleet was flying forward fearlessly. Kashmir was theirs, and they had to fight for it!
These MiG-21 fighters are equipped with the latest radar warning receivers, which can receive the AWG-9 radar signals of Tomcat fighters. These equipments were originally developed by Iraq on the battlefield between Iran and Iraq. For Iraq, the Iranian Tomcat fighters are also their lingering dark clouds.
Nearly 60 fighters, a large fleet, began to fly towards the airspace of Kashmir.
An E-2 early warning aircraft flying on the border immediately discovered this group of aircraft. Judging from their flight route, they were definitely flying towards the sky over Kashmir!
The early warning aircraft immediately notified the Sargodha Air Force Base in the rear to take off more standby fighters and take off to fight!
At the same time, after receiving the news, the two Tomcat fighters patrolling over Kashmir immediately turned to the south and turned on the radar towards the vast sky.
The signal of the AWG-9 radar suddenly filled the entire sky.
The MiG-21 pilots immediately heard a cat-like sound in their ears. This was the radar warning receiver receiving the radar signal of the AWG-9!
"Attention, the radar signal of the Tomcat fighter has been found, and we are ready to turn sideways." The lead pilot Kunal shouted on the radio.
After the Soviet instructors came to India, they specifically trained them on how to avoid the lock of the pulse Doppler radar. Moreover, when they were fighting against the MiG-29, they could also rely on the radar warning receiver to get rid of the opponent's lock, as long as the opponent's radar filtered them out as clutter.
The MiG-21 fleet began to turn sideways quickly according to the order of the lead pilot.
Chris gritted his teeth. When the radar operator in the rear cabin quickly reported that more than 50 targets had been found, he knew that the real air battle had arrived. He and his wingman would jointly protect the sky over Kashmir and hold on until the arrival of the large fleet in the rear.
"Prepare to launch the Phoenix." Chris said.
The radar operator was preparing quickly, and at the same time, he found that a group of targets on the radar screen disappeared.
The other side got rid of the tracking, but not all aircraft can fly in the most appropriate direction.
Scanning and tracking at the same time, two missiles fired at the same time, two targets! The radar operator identified two targets, and the Phoenix flew out.
Another wingman also fired two Phoenix missiles it carried.
Are the Indians crazy, trying to win by numbers? Air combat has long passed the stage of winning by numbers! No matter how many backward fighters come, they are not their opponents!
Sargodha Air Force Base.
The Tomcat fighters of the Blackbird Squadron slid onto the runway one after another and took off quickly. When the battle in the west started, Sargodha Air Force Base was ready and planned to go to the west to fight the Soviets at any time. However, the order has not come down, which makes the base commander Colonel Chudli very puzzled. Sargodha Air Force Base is now the most powerful base in Pakistan, with the largest number of advanced fighters. Why not mobilize its own fighters to the battlefield?
Now, Colonel Chudley has understood that the Indians would come to make trouble at this time!
The fighters of the 18th Squadron and the 20th Squadron are still on standby on the ground, ready to deal with more conflicts.
What's wrong with the Indians? Do they think it's time again?
When the Phoenix missile flew into the MiG-21 fleet and successfully shot down four MiG-21 fighters, the other pilots in the fleet were immediately moved.
The Phoenix missile has a 60-kilogram warhead, which is enough to shoot down a large aircraft. When the small MiG-21 was hit by the Phoenix, the entire fighter almost exploded violently in the air, and the pilots didn't even have a chance to parachute.
"Damn it! Didn't the Soviets say that we can avoid the other side's radar lock? What's going on?" A pilot almost shouted.
They didn't know that in the Iran-Iraq battlefield, when Iraqi fighters were equipped with this radar warning receiver, its greatest use was to escape. As long as the Iraqi pilots heard this unique sound in their headphones, they would immediately abandon their mission and fly away, as far as they could.
"27th Wing, continue flying." Yevgeny said coldly on the radio: "This is an order, arrive over Kashmir in three minutes."
Those flying in the front were cannon fodder. They would be hit by Tomcat fighters, consume the opponent's missiles, and win the opportunity to shoot down the MiG-29 behind.
