Dominate South Asia

"Twelve o'clock, distance fifteen, speed six hundred." The radar guide's voice was calm and calm, commanding the two J-6s of his own side.

When four bright spots suddenly appeared on the radar screen, everyone knew that the battle was about to begin, and almost at the same time, the four bright spots were divided into two directions.

There were only two J-6s on the side, and the radar guide could only guide them to intercept the two nearest fighters, and the distance between the two sides was only fifteen kilometers.

At this distance, pilots with good eyesight can already visually find the target, and in Eastern countries, pilots with gold helmets have even had a precedent of visually finding the target at a distance of 27 kilometers.

The direction of twelve o'clock is directly in front, which is also the easiest direction to visually find the enemy aircraft, especially for the J-6 without radar, it is even more advantageous.

"Let him turn slightly to the left." Muhammad spoke from behind: "Guide it to the back of the enemy aircraft."

Hearing Muhammad's words, the radar guide was stunned at first, and then understood what Muhammad meant, this is guerrilla warfare in the air!

In this era, the performance of missiles is not very advanced. The success rate of head-on attack and lateral attack is not high. Tail-chasing attack still occupies the main position. Now the two sides are at a 90-degree angle. The nose of our plane is facing the fuselage of the other side. If we turn left slightly, we can go around the back of the other side.

Now our advantage is that the other side has not discovered us yet. Going around the back of the other side is a typical sneak attack tactic.

"Understood." Hearing the voice of the ground guide, although Hussein had already seen the two bright spots above the clouds, he still turned left slightly according to the guide's order.

At the same time, Hussein turned on the afterburner, and the tail of the J-6 spewed out hot flames, pushing the fighter to accelerate and accelerate.

Relying on the excellent thrust-to-weight ratio, the nose of the J-6 pierced the sky, broke through the sound barrier, entered supersonic flight, and soon went around the back of the opponent.

Hussein gently pushed the joystick to the right, and the two bright spots above the clouds appeared in his sight again.

Aim and attack!

"Prepare to attack, Sidewinder missiles." Hussein said, pressing the weapon switch.

The old J-6 only had machine guns. After entering Pakistan, it was equipped with Western Sidewinder missiles, which increased the power of this fighter.

On the weapon rack on one side, the lead sulfide photosensitive element seeker of AIM-9P began to cool down. Like the sharp sense of a sidewinder, it began to observe the surrounding infrared heat sources, and soon, it aimed at the hot engine tail nozzle in front.

The distance continued to get closer. Hussein drove the fighter and flew steadily, preparing for the launch of the AIM-9P missile. Finally, a red light on the dashboard began to flash, and at the same time, a familiar long beep came from the headset.

"The target has been locked, requesting to attack." Hussein said in the radio.

"You can attack." Muhammad was calm and expected Pakistan's air warriors to win the first battle, although he had not yet reported to his superiors.

Hussein pressed the button, and the tail of the Sidewinder missile under the wing suddenly spurted out a hot airflow, and the solid rocket engine began to ignite, pushing the missile away from the rack, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

At the same time, Bashar, the wingman, followed behind Hussein, ready to fight at any time.

The two Su-24 fighters in front were still flying steadily. They had entered the bombing route. In another minute, they would drop bombs to attack. At this time, it must fly steadily.

Although the Su-24 is a heavy fighter, its cockpit is still very narrow. The two people sitting side by side can only see the front and the side, and the vision behind is zero, all blocked.

In contrast, the F-16 at this time has adopted a wide bubble cockpit, and the pilots have a good view as if they are riding on a fighter.

They don't know that missiles that can kill them have already flown behind them.

The AIM-9P missile continued to fly steadily. It had identified the target in front. The rocket engine quickly completed combustion, pushing the missile to the maximum speed of Mach 2.5. The following flight will be all inertial flight.

The lead sulfide photosensitive element seeker in front kept aiming at the hot engine port, but it felt that there was another heat source constantly attracting it.

In particular, when it felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, its eyes began to blur and it could not distinguish the target. It did not know that its cooling device had malfunctioned.

At this time, the AIM-9P missile did not have the high-pressure nitrogen bottle of the AIM-9L missile to cool the seeker. The cooling device was easy to overheat. When its vision gradually blurred, it suddenly found a new heat source, so it changed direction without hesitation and flew upwards.

Seeing that the missile he launched actually pulled up and ran to chase the sun when it was halfway through the flight, Hussein was immediately helpless.

"The missile lost its target, the second one will be launched." Hussein's J-6 fighter jet was equipped with two AIM-9P missiles. Now, one missile was shot down, and he was ready for the second one. He pressed the button without hesitation, and the missile flew out of the wing rack.

I don't believe I can't shoot you down!

"Countdown to bombing." Josephsky said in the cockpit of the Su-24.

Those weapons were stored in solid cement fortifications, so if you want to blow up those weapons, the 500 kg laser-guided bombs are not powerful enough. Their two fighters are equipped with 1,000 kg bombs, which are free-fall bombs. The route before the bombing is very important and directly determines the accuracy of this bomb.

Now, the countdown is ten seconds, and it’s time to drop the bomb. The weapon operator on the other side has begun to count lightly.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..." Suddenly, Josephsky saw a bright spot, which quickly flew in front of his fighter.

What is that? Joseph, who has good eyesight, saw it clearly in an instant. It was a missile, a missile flying from the back of his fuselage!

Pakistan Air Force fighter!

"Quick, drop the bomb!" Josephsky could not wait for the remaining few seconds. A Pakistan Air Force fighter followed behind him and fired a missile at him! If the missile had not been shot away, he would have become the first Soviet pilot to be shot down in Pakistani airspace!

Carrying 1,000 kg of bombs, the Su-24 was very heavy and could not cope with air combat at all.

The weapon operator pressed the release button without hesitation, and the fuselage suddenly became lighter.

Josephsky turned on the afterburner and adjusted the swept wing to 70 degrees. He had to accelerate first to have enough energy for air combat.

Hussein behind him looked helpless. The second missile did not chase the sun, but when it was about to approach the opponent's fighter, it slipped from the side and did not hit it. It must be that the circuit calculation in the missile guidance system was wrong, and the angle of attack was off!

There was no time for the wingman behind to attack, because the Soviet fighter was obviously alarmed, dropped the bomb, and then climbed quickly.

If the opponent jumped into the sky, the old J-6 would not be able to fight against the opponent due to the problem of the fuselage design. There was no chance, and a quick battle must be decided!

Hussein quickly adjusted the weapon to the machine gun. Just after taking off, Hussein began to heat up the Type 7 sight equipped on the J-6. Now it can be used at any time. He pulled the throttle lever back to the bottom with his left hand.

Although the engine is backward, the J-6 is lighter. With Hussein's operation, the J-6 is like a flexible swift, climbing up with all its strength.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly closing.

During the climb, Hussein was also preparing for the machine gun attack in an orderly manner. He turned the wingspan knob on the sight and selected the wingspan scale, so that the distance can be measured based on the opponent's wingspan. Then he turned the ring selector to the active halo position and pressed the stabilizer button, so that the halo can follow the movement of the aircraft.

Then, Hussein turned the rangefinder handle, enlarged the halo, estimated the elevation angle and advance angle, placed the halo in front of the target, released the stabilizer button, and reduced the halo. The halo moved backward and downward, and the central light spot slowly fell on the target.

The old machine gun attack is so complicated that only after strict training can you make so many actions in just two seconds without any mistakes.

Then, Hussein only needs to basically align the central light spot and press it on the center or vital position of the target, correct the launch angle, and then press the button to fire.

The 30mm machine gun can easily tear the plane in front.

The two Su-24s pulled away, and one of the Su-24 pilots saw that his lead plane was bitten by two J-6s, and couldn't help shouting in the radio: "It's the J-6! 003, it climbs faster than you! It's about to attack you with machine guns!"

Two advanced Soviet Su-24 fighters were actually bitten by the backward J-6 imitating the MiG-19, which is simply ironic.

In terms of climbing, the heavy Su-24 can't beat the J-6, so just compare dives!

Josephski pushed the joystick forward suddenly, and the Su-24, which had just soared into the sky, lowered its nose and began to dive down.

At this moment, Hussein had already begun to use the sight's active halo to trap the Su-24, but the Su-24 switched from climbing to diving. This high-overload maneuvering made the J-6's active halo unable to keep up, and all the previous actions were in vain. Without aiming, there was no way to shoot.

The opponent would soon disappear from Hussein's sight. Even if Hussein followed the same dive, the opponent had accumulated enough speed due to the dive and could make various maneuvers.

Hussein's hand skillfully flipped the switch and changed the active halo to a fixed halo. Compared with the complicated steps of the active halo, the fixed halo is much simpler. As long as you estimate the lead time, you can shoot. However, this shooting method is obviously more difficult to hit the target.

Hussein had no time to think about it. He only had a 0.5-second shooting window. He corrected the lead time and then pressed the red button on the joystick.

"Boom, boom, boom." As the machine gun spit out flames, the J-6 fighter jet also shook, and one 30mm caliber shell after another flew over.
