Dominate South Asia

"President Muhammad, our air force has always been brave and daring. In the Korean battlefield, we dared to fight. Now, although our air force equipment is a bit backward, we still have a chance to win if several fighters besiege one plane?" Just as Muhammad was promoting the quality advantage of the air force, Air Force Lieutenant General Wang Hai, the deputy commander-in-chief of the air force, asked Muhammad.

Muhammad turned around and looked at the gray-haired old man who asked the question with respect. He remembered the name of the lieutenant general when they shook hands just now.

Others, perhaps Muhammad, may not know, but Muhammad knows this general very well. He was born in 1925 and joined the army in 1946. After that, he dedicated his life to the sky of the Republic. During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, he led the young Republic Air Force Brigade to fight more than 80 times with the world's ace U.S. Air Force, shot down and damaged 29 U.S. aircraft, and won the first-class collective merit; he shot down four enemy aircraft and damaged five, becoming a first-class combat hero, and was awarded the second-class National Flag Medal and the second-class Freedom and Independence Medal of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea; and his brigade was hailed as the "Heroic Wang Hai Brigade". In the South Square of the Revolutionary Military Museum, a MiG-15bis fighter with 9 red stars is still on display. It is the meritorious aircraft that Wang Hai flew that year.

This is a brave soldier of the Republic. After that, he continued to be promoted and is now the deputy commander-in-chief of the Republic's Air Force. When the equipment is at a disadvantage, people's subjective initiative must be brought into play, which is also a kind of consciousness of the Republic's soldiers. When the J-7 and J-8 were at a disadvantage, they relied on the advantage in quantity to make up for it. This was their tactic.

However, with the continuous development of science and technology. This practice of relying on quantity to make up for the gap in quality has been seriously outdated. Although Muhammad is now the president of Pakistan, after all, he was a soldier of the Republic in his previous life, and Pakistan and the Republic are also in a relationship of loss and loss, no matter what the point of view is. He must let the soldiers of the Republic know what modern air combat is and what high-tech warfare is, so that the leaders of the Republic can carry out military reforms and armaments construction in advance to cope with the crisis in the future.

In the future, when the US aircraft carriers marched into the offshore waters of the Republic with great force, the soldiers of the Republic suddenly discovered that they had no means to deal with the US aircraft carriers. When the Americans bombed the embassy of the Republic, everyone was awakened and their illusions about the Americans were completely shattered. From then on, they began to firmly follow their own path. This process was tortuous and the price was high.

And now, Muhammad will not let such history repeat itself again!

Now, let the top leaders of the Republic know what modern warfare is!

"General Wang, I propose. How about we organize a military exercise?" Muhammad said: "We will dispatch two Tomcat fighters, an E-2 early warning aircraft, and an electronic jammer. You can dispatch a squadron of air force fighters. What do you think?"

A squadron of fighters, that's twelve! Two against twelve, that's an absolute numerical disadvantage. Muhammad's proposal is to stimulate the people in front of him. Let them see what the world-class air force tactics are like.

"Okay, I totally agree." Wang Hai said: "The code name of this exercise is called the Red Flag Military Exercise!"

Twelve fighters. Although old, they can also beat you to pieces! In the World War II era. Germany had wolf pack tactics! The Republic's air force, which is at a disadvantage, can also adopt the same air force wolf pack tactics!

The exercise started on the second day of Muhammad's visit. This exercise was conducted without any contingency plan. It was a real-life exercise. After receiving the order, the Pakistani Air Force only temporarily took off an E-2 early warning aircraft, an EC-130H electronic jammer, and two Tomcat fighters from Peshawar, heading north across Kashmir and into the sky over Tibet.

The battle started in the sky east of Tibet.

The national air defense radar network closely monitored the invading enemy aircraft. Two squadrons of J-7 fighters and one squadron of J-8 fighters stationed on the Tibetan Plateau took off urgently and headed in the direction of the "enemy aircraft" under the guidance of ground radar.

All the data were gathered in the Air Force Command Center in the capital, and the radio operator kept describing the situation of both sides.

"J-8 fighter squadron, high altitude and high speed, fly quickly to intercept."

"J-7 fighter squadron, enter low altitude and prepare for sneak attack."

The Republic's Air Force is really powerless to intercept the Indian MiG-25 aircraft flying at Mach 2.8, and if they fail to intercept these two fighters, it will be too embarrassing.

The twelve fighters are divided into two batches. The J-8 fighter is improved on the basis of the J-7 fighter, focusing on the high-altitude and high-speed interception performance. Such interception is what they are best at.

The J-7 has better maneuverability, so it enters from low altitude and uses the complex terrain on the ground to make the opponent's radar ineffective.

Muhammad looked at the battle situation and couldn't help laughing in his heart. High altitude and high speed are just the best targets for Phoenix missiles, and flying at ultra-low altitude, do you think there is no way for your side? The E-2 early warning aircraft and AWG-9 radar both have perfect downward vision capabilities, which can detect low-altitude aircraft from ground clutter.

It's time for our electronic jammer to play a role, right?

"Distance 150, altitude 15000, keep approaching." The ground radar guide kept guiding the fighter planes in the sky.

Suddenly, the radar screen in front of him was covered with snowflakes, and then there was a noise in the headset.

"Hello, hello, 071, 071, please reply if you hear me." He kept calling, but there was no response.

"What's going on?" Wang Hai asked his subordinates in the command center in the rear.

"We suffered strong interference, the radar failed, and the call was lost."

"Change the frequency band immediately." Wang Hai said.

"No, the whole frequency band is interfered, and we can't find a frequency to communicate at all." The subordinates said.

"In modern air combat, the first thing that appears is electronic countermeasures." Muhammad said: "Electronic jammers can make radars and communication systems all ineffective. In this way, the party without electronic countermeasures is deaf and blind."

Thinking of the future, it was already the mid-1990s, and the Taiwan Air Force was equipped with several electronic jammers. As a result, Fujian on the other side was interfered with. Muhammad knew that if he wanted to prevent history from repeating itself, he had to let them realize now that electronic countermeasures are already a necessary prerequisite for air combat.

The Republic's Air Force mainly adopted the Soviet combat mode and conducted interceptions under the guidance of ground radar. This is the standard combat method of the National Air Defense Force. When they left the ground radar, they lost their target.

At this time, the J-8 still had a nose air intake. Without advanced radar, it was impossible to detect the opposite fighter.

The Tomcat fighter had already used the AWG-9 radar to lock the four J-8 fighters flying from the opposite side, and fired two Phoenix missiles in succession, "shooting down" the J-8 fighter formation.

Before they even met, four J-8s had already "fallen" more than a hundred kilometers away. The people present opened their eyes wide. They could hardly believe it, but that was the fact. In the air battles between the Pakistani Air Force and the Soviet Union and India, a considerable part of the achievements were created by the Phoenix.

"We also have J-7 fighters flying at ultra-low altitudes." Wang Hai said.

Ultra-low altitude flying? Even if it was close to the ground, it was ready to be captured by the E-2 early warning aircraft!

A formation of four J-7 fighters was flying in the valley. Although they had lost contact with the rear, they were still flying according to the pre-arrangement. When they flew another 20 kilometers, they would pull up and detect enemy aircraft by visual observation.

At this moment, behind them, two Tomcat fighters had quietly approached.

Dive down, "fire" the Sidewinder missile, and then pull up again!

Two J-7s were attacked by surprise, and the other two climbed up and tried to fight with the Tomcat fighters. Unfortunately, the Tomcat fighters had already flown away with their excellent climbing performance.

Just as the pilots of the J-7 fighters scanned the airspace left and right, trying to find the target again, they were already locked one after another, and the Tomcat fighters used Sparrow missiles again to "shoot down" them.

Only the last four-plane formation of the J-7 was left, but at this time the battle did not need to be fought anymore. This four-plane formation had already flown away from the battlefield airspace, and lost the guidance of the rear radar, and they deviated.

The later battle situation was transmitted to them by the E-2 early warning aircraft. Looking at their own air force, it was just like paper, being toyed with by the two Tomcat fighters of the Pakistani Air Force. The faces of the people present were not good.

This is the gap, a huge gap! If there is a real war, then even if all the air forces of the Republic are pulled out, they will only be abused in front of dozens of Pakistani Tomcats. No wonder the Pakistani Air Force can fight against the Soviet Air Force. They definitely have their own real skills!

"President Muhammad, you have taught our air force a vivid lesson." Deng Gong said to Muhammad.

The gap is so obvious that everyone can see it. They are shocked, and at the same time, a new world has opened up in front of them. It turns out that modern air combat is fought like this!

"If our air force is not strong, the situation in South Asia would have been out of control long ago." Muhammad said: "The air force is the focus of the country. For example, we fight against India's large-scale armored forces, not relying on our army, but on the air force."

These people in front of them are very stubborn, and the thinking of the mainland army has always been in their minds. They must help them change this impression and must pay attention to the air force! (To be continued ~^~)
