Dominate South Asia

The air battle in the morning ended. Pakistan lost two Tomcat fighters and one F-16, while its opponents, the Soviet Air Force and the Indian Air Force, suffered heavy losses.

All the MiG-29s newly equipped by the Indian Air Force were shot down. Eleven MiG-21s were shot down. Over Afghanistan, three MiG-31s ​​were shot down, fifteen MiG-29s were shot down, and four Tu-22 backfires were shot down.

The Soviet Union did not suffer as many losses as India, mainly because they had the support of early warning aircraft, and the flying skills of Soviet pilots far exceeded that of the Indian Air Force.

Although Pakistan also suffered losses, compared with the Soviet Union, Pakistan's losses were minimal.

"We must suspend military operations over Afghanistan!" Andropov heard such results and was very dissatisfied: "This is simply an embarrassment to our Soviet Air Force. Is this the combat effectiveness of our Soviet Air Force?"

"Reporting to the General Secretary, what we are facing is not the Pakistan Air Force, but the United States Air Force. Pakistan has received all military aid from the United States, and their weapons are the most advanced weapons from the United States. In particular, we did not expect that they actually We have the American E-3 early warning aircraft," Marshal Ustinov said.

Originally, the opponent's E-2 early warning aircraft could not command this large-scale aircraft fleet raid at all. Moreover, the E-2's early warning capability was limited and it had to fly over Afghanistan. They planned to use the MiG-31 first to control these aircraft. The early warning aircraft was shot down to create an advantage for oneself.

Who would have thought that the American E-3 early warning aircraft! The most excellent early warning aircraft even surpasses the A-50 that has just been put into service. In this early warning, the A-50 exposed many shortcomings. The airborne equipment is unreliable, and. Communication lines are prone to interference.

"Half of our country's expenditure is spent on the military, but it can't even compare to American equipment." Andropov said coldly.

Andropov has been working on reforms, all of which require money, and now, Andropov has keenly discovered that the huge army is actually the culprit that brought down the Soviet economy. He is even thinking of ending the war in Afghanistan and reducing part of the army, so that the giant Soviet Union can get a chance to breathe.

But, definitely not now! If the Soviet Union had always had the upper hand and ended the war in Afghanistan, this would have been justified and it would not have been embarrassing in front of the world. Now, it has lost the war. It would be even more embarrassing to quit again.

"General Secretary, our fighter aircraft development is lagging behind that of the United States, because we want to completely surpass American fighters in all performances in the development of new fighter aircraft. Now, our Sukhoi Design Bureau's latest fighter aircraft, It is about to be finalized. We only need to wait a few more months for this new fighter to enter service, and then we can completely defeat all American fighters head-on!" Marshal Ustinov said.

The development of the T-10 is nearing completion. A large number of problems exposed during the test flight are being addressed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. The Soviet Union has a strong military industry. As long as this aircraft is finalized, it will soon be mass-produced. . Deliver troops.

The Soviet military was full of expectations for this kind of aircraft.

"We must completely win the next air battle." Andropov said: "This is our only chance."

Marshal Ustinov knew what the General Secretary meant. The Soviet Union had already lost face once and could not lose it again. Even if Pakistan is allowed to run rampant for a while, it still has to accumulate enough strength. Use a complete victory to justify the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army.

Islamabad.

Hamad, who hurriedly returned from the frontline Peshawar base, met Zia-ul-Haq and a large number of military leaders at the presidential palace.

The atmosphere in the office was extremely tense, and Mhamad knew that the president had finally made up his mind.

"This is the best opportunity." Zia-ul-Haq said: "The Indians are a cancer on our back. Whenever the Soviets come to cause trouble, the Indians will follow and cause trouble for us. Now, It’s time we taught the Indians a lesson they will never forget!”

This is an opportunity, an absolutely good opportunity. Pakistan has been fully prepared. It has been training secretly for several months according to Mhammad's tactics, especially the C-130 military aircraft and Black Hawk helicopters that were the first to fly. , simulations have been repeatedly conducted at airports in central Pakistan.

Airborne at Srinagar Air Force Base and captured the Kashmir Valley!

This war has shown that the Indians are like dogs of the Soviet Union and will jump out and bite people at any time. It is very reasonable for Pakistan to launch a counterattack.

Everyone's faces were filled with excitement. Although Lieutenant General Mirza Aslam Beg did not agree with Hamad's tactics, he did not object after the president had made his decision. , but do what you should do. This is discipline, obedience, and absolute obedience.

"Our focus this time is to completely kill the Indian troops at the Srinagar Army Base and let them meet their masters in their sleep. At the same time, we will completely bomb the Srinagar Air Force Base, except for the runway. Air defense facilities, let them all go to hell,” Zia-ul-Haq said: “Now, I declare.”

All the generals stood up and waited for the president's order.

"Mhammad Kamaran, promoted to General, Deputy Chief of Army Staff, with full authority to command this military operation!" Zia-ul-Haq said: "Sagoda Air Force Base, prepare for bombing, transport aircraft, ready to take off at any time, Lieutenant General Mirza, lead the Third Army to recapture the Kashmir Valley of our Muslim compatriots! The First Army, be ready to support and guard against the counterattack of the Indians! Operation code name, Genghis Khan!"

"Yes." Everyone answered in unison.

Mhammad was stunned. Last time, Zia-ul-Haq had promised him the deputy chief of army staff, but he didn't care at the time. After coming back, it had been a few months, and Zia-ul-Haq seemed to have forgotten about it, and Muhammad had thrown it behind his mind. Now, Zia-ul-Haq has promoted his rank to General! In the Pakistani army, the number of generals can be counted on one hand, and now, there is only one general in his twenties, Muhammad.

Lieutenant General Mirza is already fifty years old. He participated in several wars and only managed to become a lieutenant general.

Mirza looked at Muhammad with some envy and some... but then he returned to normal.

A large-scale invasion battle requires a lot of preparations, and Pakistan has been preparing for this battle for several months. From Muhammad's previous ideas, it has been slowly expanded step by step and has become a well-prepared military operation.

Sargodha Air Force Base.

The 20 A-7 attack aircraft that were ordered last time have arrived. Now Sargodha Air Force Base has 40 A-7 attack aircraft.

Now, all the attack aircraft are undergoing the final inspection before takeoff. This night bombing is a test for them.

Under the wings, there are heavy bombs. As the first wave of attack forces, they will bomb the Srinagar Army Base.

The runway of the Srinagar base is arranged from northwest to southeast. There are two main runways. The northwest part of the runway is a large-scale hangar area. At the end of the runway is the control tower, and in the northeast of the runway is a large-scale army camp.

There used to be several anti-aircraft missile launch sites, but the Pakistani Air Force, which has won the no-fly zone, will not allow such threats to appear on the ground. After several attacks, the SAM-3 anti-aircraft missiles no longer exist. Now the Srinagar Air Force Base is the meat on the plate of the Pakistani Air Force.

Although there have been several exchanges of fire in the air, the ground is still quiet. Pakistan's advantage is in the air. Before the Indian army planned a large-scale land attack, their troops stayed in the barracks. This is Pakistan's best opportunity!

The A-7 attack aircraft will do its best to attack the Indian army base, while the F-16 fighter jets will be mainly responsible for bombing the hangars of the air force base and the possible anti-aircraft firepower everywhere to cover the landing of their own transport aircraft.

The Tomcat fighters will faithfully guard the sky. Once the Indians are unwilling to fail and send out their air force, they will be ruthlessly shot down.

Everything is proceeding in a tense and orderly manner. At the Rawalpindi Airport, the C-130 transport planes are also doing the final inspection before takeoff. They will carry the army soldiers directly into the war zone.

The first to land will be the advance team carried by the Black Hawk helicopter. They will control the tower and various positions to protect the safety of the runway.

The Black Hawk helicopter is an excellent helicopter. After being introduced from the United States, it quickly replaced the Skylark helicopter. Its excellent performance made Pakistan want to continue to order a batch.

Everything is ready.

Srinagar base.

As a base in the Kashmir Valley, it is at the forefront of the confrontation with Pakistan.

At the beginning, because of the dispute over Kashmir, the two countries fought each other. As a result, Pakistan occupied 40% of Kashmir, most of which were high mountains and very barren, while India occupied the most fertile and beautiful Kashmir Valley.

In order to protect this place, India deployed a large number of troops. The fighter planes here can directly support the battle on the front line after taking off. This is the most proud military base of India.

Unfortunately, that was a year ago.

When this place became a no-fly zone for Pakistan, the self-esteem of the Indians was completely beaten to its original shape. The Indians have an air force several times that of Pakistan, but they have been defeated repeatedly. Just today during the day, India once again dispatched a large number of air forces. They were all watching on the ground, watching the battle in the sky. As a result, all the planes that fell were their own planes! They dispatched several rescue troops to rescue the pilots who parachuted, including Indians and Soviets. (To be continued ~^~)
