Dominate South Asia

"Attention, activate the autopilot system."

"Captain, we haven't left the Pakistani border yet."

"I know that we are on course now and can arrive in the UK as soon as possible." The captain said, "This is really a damn country, there is not even alcohol."

"yes."

The captain acted in violation of regulations. He should have continued flying west, entered the skies over Saudi Arabia, and then headed north. Now, in order to return to the UK as soon as possible and drink a few sips of brandy, he actually changed the route so that he would fly along the Persian Gulf for a while. , are quite dangerous.

Next, there was silence, and only the familiar snoring could be heard. Could it be that the captain fell asleep?

This E-3 early warning aircraft was modified from a Boeing 747 aircraft and has a very advanced autopilot system. For many flights, as long as a round-trip flight is completed, the autopilot system will remember it and it can fly automatically next time. The pilot can take over during takeoff and landing.

The flight to England was a long one, and they had no combat missions. Therefore, it seemed reasonable to take a nap during the flight.

"Boom!" A few minutes later, there was an explosion suddenly.

Following the explosion, there was the panicked voice of the co-pilot: "A missile hit our left wing! The second left engine stalled!"

"Emergency maximum thrust!"

"Oh my god, the left wing is still burning!" came another voice.

"The operating system pressure has decreased and the aircraft cannot be operated!"

"Damn, get ready for a crash landing!"

"Oh no!"

The recording ended here, followed by an even louder roar.

"I need to report this to the president!" General Helan said: "This is a provocation to our United States!"

Seeing the American general leave, old Arslan felt happy, it seemed. The United States is about to start a fight with Iran, but we just don’t know what conflict will happen between the two sides this time? If the United States can land in Iran, that would be the best. Let Iran become the second Vietnam, and Pakistan can also get more benefits from it. I just don’t know if the Americans are willing. The current United States can be considered half Are you too shy?

In the middle of the night, Hamad received a report from old Arslan. The investigation results have come out. This early warning aircraft was shot down by a Hawker anti-aircraft missile in the border area!

In fact, high-value targets like early warning aircraft should be escorted by fighter jets when flying. However, because this time the Americans were very tough to take it back from the Pakistanis. Although Pakistan sent them away with a strong smile, I still don’t know how to accuse the Americans of being stingy because they won’t send planes to escort them at all. And Pakistan’s air power is very strong, so you won’t encounter any danger when flying over Pakistan. The United States has not proposed escort, so Pakistan does not need to do so.

The early warning aircraft has powerful electronic warfare capabilities. It is said that it will not catch the enemy, but that must be when the electronic system is activated. Now it is just a transitional flight, not a battle at all. There is no electronics officer inside, just four or five pilots flying the plane, and they don't know how to turn it on in the sky.

I never thought in my wildest dreams that the Iranians would actually play such a trick! Do the Iranians have a motive for opening fire on the US side?

Of course! At this time, Iran has a new and old hatred for the United States. It all started with the Iran-Iraq ship attack war.

The Iran-Iraq war intensified, and by the end, the conflict on land had become all-round. Not only the two countries, but also the whole world is involved. This is the Iran-Iraq ship attack war.

Kuwait was the biggest victim of this ship attack war and was frequently attacked by the Iranians, as in May 1984. Iranian F-4E fighter jets used Maverick missiles to sink the Kuwaiti oil tanker "Umm Qabahi" transporting oil to the United Kingdom. Kuwait finally couldn't stand it anymore. Asking the United States for help, because Kuwait supported Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war, and now it has turned the Gulf issue into a world issue, and it is even more violent. In addition to using advanced weapons, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards also dispatched high-speed patrol boats and small armed boats to patrol the route and attack passing ships. Although the firepower of this fleet is equipped with 107mm rocket launchers, RPG-7 rocket launchers and machine guns, which are not enough to sink ships, they still cause serious damage to passing ships and personnel.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the United States agreed to escort 11 Kuwaiti oil tankers and equip them with weapons to resist attacks from Iran.

As a result, Saddam couldn't stand it anymore and sent a "Mirage" F-1 fighter jet, which fired two Exocet missiles and hit the USS Stark guided missile frigate. Afterwards, Iraq insisted that it was an accidental attack and that the United States was motivated by The need to check and balance Iran has not been explored in detail.

In 1987, the United States established the "Middle East Joint Task Force Command", which had jurisdiction over a force of 50 ships, including aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, nuclear submarines, and more than 150 combat aircraft. This was already the beginning of World War II. The largest U.S. Navy task force ever dispatched.

Iran originally believed that the United States was the devil. Now, although the United States is escorting, Iran has already concluded that the United States has entered the war. It just couldn't be defeated, so Iran adopted a new method of secretly laying mines. As a result, the supertanker "Caribbean" hit a mine and was injured; a supply ship in Bahrain hit a mine and sank.

It was also at this time that Pakistan took advantage of the situation and bought the largest oil tanker in the world, as well as some oil tankers of transport companies that could no longer operate, and all became state-owned by Pakistan. It has been transporting oil to Pakistan, bringing a steady stream of profits.

Afterwards, the U.S. military discovered abnormal activities of the Iranian Navy's landing ship "Iran" in the waters off Bahrain. The nearby destroyer "Garrett" and two helicopters immediately rushed to the waters to investigate. Fired rockets and strafed with machine guns, killing three Iranian sailors, and the remaining Iranian sailors abandoned the ship and escaped. A large number of mines were discovered from the ship, confirming Iran's anti-humanity behavior to the world.

However, the Iranians did not stop there. In April 1988, the USS Roberts guided missile frigate of the 14th US Escort Fleet hit a mine and was blown out of a large hole 2.7 meters in diameter, causing it to lose power.

This incident once again angered the Americans, who launched Operation "Praying Mantis" to attack the Iranian offshore oil platform. The fighting between the two sides finally began. An American Sea Cobra helicopter was shot down by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards firing a British-made "Blowpipe" portable missile. The Iranian Navy frigate Sabalan severely damaged the US-flagged logistics support ship Willitide. The Iranian Warrior II missile boat USS Jolson attempted to attack the cruiser USS Wainwright, but was sunk by five Standard-1 anti-aircraft missiles, setting a precedent for the United States to use anti-aircraft missiles to sink a surface ship. Later, the Iranian "Sahand" encountered the US Navy again and was sunk. The frigate "Sabalan" attacked again, and was hit by a Paveway II bomb dropped by the A-6E fleet. The captain and other commanders were killed on the spot, and the ship was severely damaged.

Due to the interference of the United States and the continuous exchange of fire with Iran, Iran finally realized that it was at an absolute disadvantage in front of the U.S. Navy, so they had no choice but to give up the ship attack war. This lively ship attack battle finally came to an end. period.

However, according to history, in 1988, the Iran-Iraq war was over, and the ship attack war was also declared over. But now, history has changed. Although the war between Iran and Iraq did not continue, there was no ceasefire. Iran still has The advantage, this advantage, is the air force.

Historically, the most powerful Tomcat fighter of the Iranian Air Force was later used as a small early warning aircraft to command the J-7 aircraft in front of it. Because with the lack of accessories, this kind of fighter became more and more valuable and could not withstand consumption. , and now, Iran’s Tomcat fighter jets have There are sufficient secret parts sources, and it has maintained a scale of about 60 aircraft. It has even purchased new engines to replace the original engines to improve the performance of the fighters. Therefore, the Iranian Air Force has always maintained its advantage. In this way, the two sides did not stop.

Relying on the hatred between Iran and the United States, if they knew that this early warning aircraft belonged to the United States and flew to the border of Iran, and they were careless, they would definitely do something wrong!

Therefore, such a report was given to high-level officials in the United States, and the United States believed it deeply.

After hearing Old Arslan's report, Mhamad breathed a sigh of relief: "The Iranians are really crazy. We must help the United States and deal with the aftermath."

This sentence was a pun. Old Arslan on the other side of the phone understood it and said: "Please rest assured, President, we will definitely handle the aftermath."

Putting down the phone, Mhammad rubbed his eyes. Pakistan cannot live without a strategic early warning aircraft. If it wants to obtain an early warning aircraft, this road is really full of thorns. He almost runs the risk of turning against the United States. If the Americans know that they are from it. After some manipulation, the Americans might impose a comprehensive blockade on Pakistan.

In the darkness, an off-road vehicle drove into the Babel High-Tech Center. Several special boxes were unloaded from the vehicle. Several staff members carefully moved these boxes and entered the building.

Seeing these boxes, a female technician with short ear-length hair kept nodding: "Yes, this is the central processing system we need most, and the most important memory. We need to analyze the program design inside. It’s just that we don’t have enough manpower. We need more programmers. Let’s recruit a group from Islamabad University.”

After saying that, she scratched her head with her hand. Now, the design of the Aegis system has entered a critical stage. Signal processing is a big trouble. What she got now is an important system for the airborne early warning aircraft, and she may get more help from it. Well, and this will also be helpful for the future development of early warning aircraft.

Her eyes were red. She had been working here for several years before she knew it, and she was tired. (To be continued ~^~)
