Dominate South Asia

As the president of South Africa, Peter is under a lot of pressure, both domestically and internationally. He needs to use victory to prove that South Africa is right. There is no justice or injustice in this world. The victorious side is the righteous side!

For Rick, the president of South Africa is no different from ordinary people in his eyes. He comes here to fight.

After bidding farewell to the welcoming president, Rick came to the front of the fighter planes. These ten fighter planes were all flown directly from the aircraft carrier by the US Navy, that is, the active fighter planes of the US Navy. From the appearance, there is no difference between them and the improved Tomcat fighter planes equipped by Pakistan. The actual flight performance is unknown.

Rick did not choose the front-line airport because the Tomcat has a complete advantage in range, and the airport is the safest here. After all, South Africa does not have early warning aircraft, and their combat this time will rely entirely on the fighter plane's own radar.

The ground crew was quickly testing, refueling the aircraft, and hanging bombs. Two hours later, the fighter plane reached combat status.

"Four-plane formation, let's fly over Angola first." Rick said.

Rick was full of fighting spirit. He looked at the two auxiliary fuel tanks, Sparrow missiles, and Sidewinder missiles under the belly of the Tomcat. They were all mounted. Such a fighter plane could abuse those MiG-21 fighter planes. The only thing to be prepared for was the attack of ground artillery fire.

Four Tomcat fighter planes turned on the afterburner, taxied on the runway, and soon rushed into the sky.

They had just been here for two hours and had completed their combat readiness and started fighting. The strong combat effectiveness and tough style of the Pakistani Air Force completely opened the eyes of the South African Air Force, not to mention that they were at a disadvantage in equipment. Even if they had an advantage, they did not have such a fighting atmosphere.

Four Tomcat fighter planes rushed to the sky, spread their wings, and entered the cruise flight in the most fuel-efficient way, crossing the sky over Botswana in the north and entering Angola.

The auxiliary fuel tanks were thrown away, and the aircraft was almost full of fuel. They had strong endurance.

When they just entered Angola. Four MiG-21 fighter planes of the Cuban Air Force came up to them.

Their ground radar network found a target. Judging from the direction of flight, it should be the South African Air Force, so they took off and intercepted it immediately.

One target! Four Tomcat fighters were flying in a dense formation with a small distance between them. Therefore, on the ground radar screen, there was only one target!

At the same time, there was only one leader. Rick's radar was turned on, and the other three fighters were all receiving the signal scanned by Rick's fighter radar synchronously through the data link. This function was obtained through the AN/ASW27C two-way data link.

Now, when the radar found the four targets on the opposite side, Rick's eyes were firm: "Each fighter. Assign a target, use Sparrow missiles, and shoot down the opponent at 30 kilometers!"

The Tomcat fighters from the United States are also equipped with the latest AIM-7M missiles, equipped with a new reverse monopulse seeker, and the hit probability of a single shot is already quite high. It is too easy to shoot down a few lagging MiG-21 fighters.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer. On the MiG-21 fighter, Colonel Henry Martinez, a Cuban pilot, was scanning the airspace ahead with his sharp eyes.

The voice of the ground controller came from the headset. The sky here has always been guarded by them. The South African fighter planes can only be beaten!

Under the guidance of the ground. They flew quickly to the battle zone. Now, they are only more than 30 kilometers away from the target. Colonel Henry, who has good eyesight, can even use his eyes to see a shining light spot in the airspace ahead!

Excellent pilots can see a distance of 30 kilometers in a clear sky! Moreover, the MiG-21 fighter can only be discovered by visual means under the guidance of ground radar.

At this moment, the bright spot suddenly changed and became four bright spots. Even at such a long distance, he could distinguish them. The area of ​​the bright spot expanded rapidly.

"Four enemy planes, Mi plane formation!" The voice of the ground radar controller suddenly became urgent.

"Fight!" Colonel Henry was not afraid. Four planes are four. What is there to be afraid of? There are also four on our side! He had already flipped the switch and was ready to launch the Aphid air-to-air missile under the wing.

"They launched a missile, dodge immediately, dodge immediately!" The voice in the headset became more urgent.

What a joke, the other side launched a missile at a distance of 30 kilometers? What does this mean? They used medium-range air-to-air missiles!

When did the South African Air Force have medium-range missiles?

There was no means of response. They had no platinum bars, no flares, and the only thing they could rely on was their own flying skills.

However, no matter what maneuvers they made at this time, in front of the improved APG-71 radar, it was an absolute suicide, and there was no effect except wasting their precious energy.

Three MiG-21 fighters were hit and exploded in the air. Only Colonel Henry had just made up his mind to fly towards the opponent's missile. At the moment the missile flew over, Colonel Henry pressed the joystick hard and passed by the opponent's missile.

Before they even had a face-to-face encounter, they had lost three fighters! This made Colonel Henry very angry. Even if the opponent was four fighter planes, he was not afraid. He wanted to avenge his teammates!

At this time, the two sides were within a range of ten kilometers. Colonel Henry looked at the four fighters flying in front of him with hatred in his eyes. The Cuban Air Force has a strong fighting style. This kind of close combat is their specialty in practice. No matter how powerful the opponent is, Colonel Henry can fly behind them, lock and fire!

He used the early R60 close-range bomb, which had no head-on attack capability. However, when the two sides flew head-on, the opponent had already fired close-range combat bombs.

AIM-9L flew out from under Rick's wing, and there was still a fish that slipped through the net! However, three of the four hits were high compared to the battlefield in Vietnam.

The seeker of AIM-9L accurately captured the MiG-21 on the opposite side. Seeing that the situation was not good, Colonel Henry immediately pulled the control stick and flew towards the direction of the sun.

Unfortunately, this often practiced action did not save his life. AIM-9L accurately hit his tail. At the moment when the sound came from behind, he pulled the ejection device of the seat.

The ejection device of the MiG-21 is extremely complicated. The forward-flipping canopy requires a lot of preparation for the ejection. Even so, Colonel Henry ejected.

The white parachute flowers bloomed in the air. Watching his fighter plane burning and falling, Colonel Henry felt particularly complicated.

He couldn't blame himself. The performance of the other fighter plane was too strong!

Just as he was falling, he saw the fighter plane spread its wings and slowly flew towards him.

Rick had a sneer on his face: "Cubans, get out of the African sky!"

The hot line of the HUD was aimed at the parachute flower, and Rick pressed the red button on the joystick without hesitation.

"Buzz." The Vulcan machine gun started instantly, and countless bullets flew towards the parachute flower.

"No!" Colonel Henry shouted, watching his parachute being punched with countless holes, and he accelerated to fall to the ground.

"They took off eight fighters again!" said the radar operator in the rear cabin.

"Okay, let's shoot them down again!" Henry said.

As mercenaries, if they shoot down an enemy fighter plane, they will receive a reward of 10 million US dollars. Anyway, South Africa has plenty of gold and diamonds, so they can afford this money.

Now, in this air battle, if they shoot down more than a dozen fighter planes, they will get hundreds of millions of dollars in rewards.

Rick knew that the country was undergoing industrialization reforms, and new equipment was constantly being introduced in military construction. The country was short of money, and coming here could not only strike the Cubans supported by the Soviets, but also obtain a large amount of funds. He was more motivated to fight.

Although there were no Phoenix missiles, it was enough to deal with the backward MiG-21 with Sparrow and Sidewinder.

The four Tomcat fighters continued to fly forward.

At a distance of 30 kilometers, they continued to intercept and lock targets, and launched missiles. Two of the MiG-21s that flew in were shot down this time, and the remaining six fighters rushed up frantically.

"Retreat." Rick shouted on the radio.

The wings of the four Tomcat fighters were folded back gracefully, until the smallest sweep angle, and the entire fighter flew south quickly, separating from the enemy fighters.

These damn South Africans actually escaped! Listening to the voice of the ground radar guide, the fighter pilots of the MiG-21 formation could not help but be angry but helpless.

They wanted to speed up, but they were not as fast as the other side, whose acceleration performance was very good.

Just now, they had been flying towards the war zone with afterburners, consuming a lot of fuel. At this time, they could only return helplessly.

"Everyone pay attention, enter at ultra-low altitude, let us sneak attack these Cuban planes." Rick shouted on the radio.

The Cuban planes rely on backward ground guidance. Their radars have a very short search distance for ultra-low-altitude targets, and now they have returned, so their vigilance should be the lowest. At this time, returning to sneak attack is a very suitable means for them.

The Pakistani Air Force had practiced this tactic very well. After hearing Rick's order, all the fighters opened their wings again, pushed the control stick, flew to low altitude, and turned at the same time.

This is the Willa Plateau, with flat terrain and weeds on the ground, mainly livestock farming. The four Tomcat fighters were close to the ground and flew very easily. (To be continued ~^~)
