Dominate South Asia

The bombs were mounted under the wings, indicating that this was a bombing mission. The logo on the wings was not the Soviet red five-star, but the logo of the Afghan Air Force.

This was an aircraft equipped by the Afghan Air Force, belonging to the 355th Aviation Regiment of the Afghan government army. The Soviets equipped the old Su-17 with the export model number of the Su-22 to the Afghan government army. Although it was old, it was still very suitable for bombing missions.

In China, the Su-22 had carried out many bombing missions against Afghan guerrillas, and now, it was the first time for the government air force to cross the mountains to bomb the base in Pakistan.

In Afghanistan, they only had to guard against shoulder-fired missile attacks by ground guerrillas, so they often flew at an altitude of several thousand meters to drop bombs, and when they arrived in Pakistani airspace, they needed to be more wary of Pakistani aircraft.

What made them full of confidence was that the Soviet Air Force had flown over last time and confirmed that there was no problem here. The Pakistanis would not have thought that they would fly from the north.

The Soviet Union tried to avoid too much conflict with the Pakistani Air Force, so it would adopt such a cautious approach. Their goal was only to bomb the Afghan camps. Even now, the Afghan Air Force was sent to lead the charge.

The Afghan Air Force was not well trained, and many pilots only knew how to fly planes. Their air combat skills were very poor, so they could only perform such simple ground bombing missions.

Even so, when they flew over the mountains, they were still secretly sweating.

From the ground, flying over the mountains seemed very comfortable, but the real danger was only known to them. The Su-22's forward vision was not good. They had to be quick and find the mountains in front at any time and turn in advance. If they were a little slower by a second, they might hit the mountain.

Especially the squadron leader Kawasi, who was flying in the front, he was under the greatest pressure. The two fighters behind him were flying along his trajectory.

His eyes were fixed on the front, and he flew in the mountains according to the flight posture simulated countless times on the ground beforehand.

The Pakistani sky was full of loopholes!

Six thousand meters high, cruising altitude.

Two J-6s were cruising on the scheduled route. Their fighter planes were gleaming in the sun like silver swallows, and two white smoke lines were pulled out from behind the fuselage.

In the cockpit, Hussein kept searching the surrounding sky. He didn't know how many times he had cruised. Since the last successful sneak attack by the Soviets, their cruise frequency has increased. Although the pilots were so tired that they couldn't even lift their legs after getting off the plane, they were still in high spirits as soon as they stepped into the cockpit.

Behind him, Bashar followed closely. AIM-9P missiles were mounted on the wings of the two fighter planes. After careful inspection by the ground crew, they would not find the mistakes of the last shooting.

"044, 045, fly to the north, lower the altitude, and search the northern mountains." At this time, the voice of the ground radar guide came from the headset.

"044 understands."

"045 understands."

The two answered clearly on the radio, and at the same time pushed the control stick forward, the horizontal tail rudder at the tail flipped down, the airflow lifted the tail, the nose down, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

The altimeter kept turning, rotating in circles. At an altitude of 3,000 meters, the two leveled the plane again, looking at the mountains on both sides, trying to find the hidden Soviet plane from inside, it was too difficult.

It seems that we have to think of another way!

Hussein pulled the control stick to the left, and the agile J-6 suddenly turned over, the cockpit was facing down, all the blood rushed to the head, Hussein raised his head, just in time to see everything in the mountains, clearly.

More than 30 seconds later, Hussein turned the plane over. When any plane is flying in reverse, it is supplied by a small inverted fuel tank, and the time will not be long.

At the moment of turning over, Hussein swept to another mountain peak, and there was a ray of sunlight reflected!

What is that? Could it be reflected by the cockpit cover? Hussein said with a serious face: "Maklako, at nine o'clock, a suspected target has been found."

After speaking, Hussein continued to push the joystick forward, and the J-6 continued to descend. The agile J-6 just went into the rolling mountains.

Qamar, who was behind, disappeared on the radar screen.

The mountain was right beside them, and there was a risk of hitting the mountain at any time. The two Pakistani pilots flew steadily in the mountains with fearless heroism.

The outline of a mountain suddenly appeared in front of them. Hussein pushed the joystick to the right and stepped on the right rudder at the same time. The fighter plane turned with a large slope, and the mountain quickly disappeared in front of him.

The front was bright, and three bright spots appeared in Hussein's eyes.

It was indeed a Soviet plane! Hussein said on the radio: "Maklako, Maklako, 044 found the target, requesting to attack. 044 found the target, requesting to attack."

There was a noisy buzzing sound in the headset, but there was no response from Maklako. Hussein knew that because he flew too low and entered the mountainous area, the radio signal was blocked.

No matter what, when it is time to attack, you have to attack without hesitation! Hussein pushed the nose forward, and the J-6 continued to move downward, following the three bright spots.

The bright spot was expanding, and the clear outlines of the three fighters gradually appeared in Hussein's sight. MiG-21? No, the wing shape of MiG-21 is not like that, and it is impossible to carry so many bombs. That is Su-22 attack aircraft!

Come on! Damn Soviets! Hussein began to push various buttons in an orderly manner, preparing to launch the AIM-9P missile. He hoped that the ground crew had tested the missile without any problems, and he couldn't miss it again.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Because they were flying in the mountains, the Soviets' attention was mainly focused on how to avoid mountain obstacles and ensure flight safety. They didn't notice that they were behind them. The two killers had already caught up.

"Ding..." The sound of the AIM-9P missile locking came, and Hussein pressed the launch button without hesitation.

Under the wing, a puff of green smoke flew over, and the missile flew away from the launcher with a tongue of fire, flying forward continuously.

Hussein was observing visually and preparing another AIM-9P missile. If this one missed the target, the next one would be launched immediately.

The Su-22 continued to fly. The flight in the mountains made the pilot feel very stressed. Unconsciously, his back was soaked.

Suddenly, "Boom!" There was a sound from behind, and with the sound, countless red lights on the dashboard flashed.

Engine failure, hydraulic system failure, power loss...

The pilot tried his best to control the plane, but the engine was damaged by the sidewinder, and this single-engine fighter had lost power.

The pilot watched the hillside in front of him getting closer and closer, and tried his best to pull up, but there was no response. He was about to pull the pull ring of the ejection seat, and there was already a huge fireball in front of him... The plane hit the hillside and exploded.

The two Su-22s in front heard the exclamation of the pilot behind them, and immediately knew that something was wrong. They immediately threw away the bombs hanging on the wings and started to pull up the plane at the same time.

In the valley, even flight safety cannot be guaranteed, let alone fighting. They can only throw away the heavy bombs and then climb. The best case is to get rid of the enemy behind and fly back to Afghanistan.

With the roar of the engine, two Su-22s pulled up from the valley.

"045, attack separately, don't let them run away." Hussein said, and then pulled up the J-6 fighter.

The opponent is just a heavy Su-22, an attack aircraft with limited air combat capabilities. Even with two missiles hanging on the wings, it is no match for the J-6.

Moreover, the opponent's movements are too stupid. The best choice for them is to continue to accelerate and escape in the mountains. Anyway, they have thrown away the bombs and they are already relaxed. Or, they want to climb, and they should choose the maximum sweep angle that is most suitable for acceleration. Now the opponent's flight is so slow, and they climb up stubbornly, and they can't even do a scissor climb. It's just like a target aircraft. It doesn't look like the work of Soviet Air Force pilots at all, but rather like the Afghan Air Force who has not received much training.

Did the Soviets send them to die? Hussein thought as he locked onto a fighter plane with another Sidewinder missile.

Flames burst out from under the wing, and the Sidewinder missile flew over, while the plane on the opposite side was still climbing without knowing whether it would live or die, as if it would feel at ease only when it reached a high altitude.

"Boom!" The second Sidewinder missile exploded, and the fragment warhead hit the engine and fuel tank. In the huge fireball, the Su-22 was hit and exploded in mid-air.

Seeing the second fighter plane destroyed, the last remaining one tried desperately to escape back to Afghanistan, and turned a big circle in the air. As a result, it was caught up by Bashar behind it.

It must be the Afghan Air Force. The pilots of this Su-22 fighter plane must not have received air combat training, but they came here to bomb. If they want to bomb again like last time, there is no way!

At this moment, a special sound came from the headset, a rapid beeping sound, and finally turned into a long beep.

Oops, it was locked by the enemy's radar!

When the J-6 arrived in Pakistan, Pakistan modified it. The original J-6 did not have a radar warning receiver, but now Pakistan's J-6 has the ability to detect when it is locked by the enemy's radar.

When the radar locks and guides the missile, it will send out a single pulse signal, which is different from the scanning signal. It is based on this difference that we can know that we are locked.

"Dive to get rid of it." Hussein did not hesitate and immediately said to his wingman on the radio. At the same time, he pushed the nose of the plane, and the J-6 began to dive down with a whistle.
