Dominate South Asia

"Damn Pakistanis! What are they going to do!" In the cabin of the Tu-22M2, pilot Igor, who was in his forties, almost roared.

There were two missiles under the wings of the Tomcat, and a Phoenix under the belly. When the plane flew over, the pilot had an ominous premonition.

When the opponent used machine guns to shoot at the front of his flight, Igor almost went crazy. When the young Pakistani pilot made a gesture to him, he knew that the opponent was about to make an emergency landing on him.

Igor couldn't bear it anymore. This was simply an insult. Even if the other party shot him down with a missile, it would be more dignified than this forced landing!

Now, only expulsions between military aircraft have occurred, and no forced landings have occurred at all. At most, fighter jets have made forced landings on civilian airliners.

Igor pushed the control stick fiercely and hit the opponent with the nose of the machine. The opponent immediately rolled quickly and left his sight.

The four-seat bomber had limited vision. The pilot only had front and side vision. In his sight, the fighter plane had been lost.

Finally gone! Igor breathed a sigh of relief. After flying more than 20 kilometers, he would enter the airspace of Afghanistan. As long as he got there, he would be safe.

"Boom, boom." At this moment, suddenly, another barrage appeared in front, and the shells came from directly above!

After Rick detached the fighter plane, he rose vertically to a high altitude, and then dived down.

Damn it! Igor quickly pushed the operating stick to the right and pedaled the rudder at the same time, dodging those shells. The other party was crazy, really crazy!

Watching the Tomcat fly past in front of me, it almost touched the nose of the plane and flew down. If there was a slight deviation, there would be a collision.

"Boom." The fifteen 500-kilogram bombs in the bomb bay were thrown down by the bombardier almost at the same time, and they all hit the mountain below.

After these bombs were thrown down, the Tu-22M2 bomber felt relaxed for a while. This was a last resort. After the bombs were hung, its maneuverability dropped greatly. Now, this Tomcat fighter has been maneuvering with its own side.

Come on, don't you want to hit me? Let’s see who’s afraid of who! Igor was also angry.

The Tomcat flew over again, this time flying head-on. It kept rolling as it flew, as if it was showing off its flying stunts.

Hit it, hit it! Let’s see who’s afraid of who! Igor's eyes were full of anger.

"Wrong heading, we're heading east," the navigator said.

They were originally flying back, but when they were hit by Tomcat fighters, they had to make two turns and ended up going back.

If you can't hit it this time, turn back! In Igor's eyes, the Tomcat fighter jet grew bigger and bigger.

"Rick, what are you doing!" The world was spinning, and Jackson in the back cabin couldn't help shouting. Such actions are just showing off and have no practical significance. Is this guy crazy?

"I'm going to crash this Backfire," Rick said.

After passing by each other twice, Rick finally made up his mind. After getting closer, he stopped rolling, and then pulled the operating lever back slightly.

At the same time, the opponent's bulky bombers were also pressing down, with the Backfire at the bottom and the Tomcat at the top. The pilots of the Backfire could almost see the Phoenix missile mounted on the Tomcat fighter plane, which was just grazing their scalps and flying over. The same.

Igor suddenly secretly shouted in his heart, "Oh no, no, I've fallen into a trap!"

"Bang." The sound of metal colliding came from behind.

The wing root of the Tomcat fighter's left wing accurately hit the tall vertical tail behind the Tu-22M2.

The wing root is the wing box, which is made of titanium alloy and has a solid structure. The vertical fin of the Tu-22M2 is just an aluminum alloy skin. With this impact, the tall vertical fin behind was instantly cut off. half.

From a distance, it looks like an airplane without a vertical tail, with less than one-tenth of its rudder left.

Rick looked to the left from his seat and saw that his wing was still intact. Under the control of the computer, the variable sweep wing was still able to expand and contract freely, with almost no damage.

And that Backfire had now turned into a turkey without a tail.

"Damn it!" Igor cursed. There were mountains everywhere below. The bomber, which had lost its vertical tail, suddenly rushed forward like a staggering man who had drunk too much vodka.

"Pull up, pull up!" shouted the co-pilot on the other side.

Igor used all his strength to operate the fighter plane and finally flew over the mountains here.

There is only very little aerodynamic moment left in the tail rudder, so the only way to adjust the course slightly is to make a 180-degree turn and then return. This is absolutely impossible. Is it necessary to eject to escape? Just when Igor was about to order the ejection, he saw a long open space on the other side of the mountain, which was a dry river bed.

The airflow in the mountains is complex and changeable, and the ejection of the backfire is not completely safe, especially now, with such a low altitude, ejection may be risky. Igor gritted his teeth and lowered the nose of the plane.

"Put down the landing gear," Igor shouted.

The third row of landing gear was lowered. Although it did not meet the conditions for taking off and landing at a field airport, Igor still tried his best to pull up the nose of the plane and land downwards!

However, just when the wheel had touched the ground, a sudden crosswind came. The crosswind in the mountains was very strong, blowing the wing high on the left and low on the right. When landing, the wing was at its maximum wingspan, and suddenly, the right wing touched the ground.

The wing tip touched the ground and then bounced back violently. Igor had no other action except braking the wheel. The riverbed was too short.

"Bang, bang, bang." As Igor stepped on the brakes, a violent noise came from below. The wheel of the backfire was originally a high-pressure tire, and Igor operated it violently. The brake force was strong, and suddenly, several tires were braked.

The left wheel exploded, which had bounced to the left. When it exploded, the left side suddenly sank, and the whole fuselage suddenly buckled over.

The fuselage rubbed against the ground, emitting sparks. If the remaining fuel in the fuselage leaked out, it would definitely be an explosion.

In the inverted fuselage, Igor also shouted in fear at the scene in front of him.

Finally, the fuselage stopped. The four crew members who were still in shock, except for one who fainted, were still conscious. They unbuckled their seat belts and began to slowly climb out of the cabin.

The Tomcat fighter flew across the sky. Looking at the intact fighter that had landed on the riverbed, Rick couldn't help but shout a loud slogan in the cockpit.

Yeah! Success!

The air battle was over. Two F-16s chased the Soviet MiG-25. One of the MiG-25s was hit by a Sidewinder missile and fled back to Afghanistan's airspace. The other returned unscathed.

When Hussein's Tomcat fighter returned, the battle was over.

When he flew over the dry riverbed, he saw that the ground forces had already controlled the place. They were dispatched very quickly.

Rick was flying over the Peshawar airport in a Tomcat fighter. He saw the ground crew below waving at him. Then, he made three turns, aimed at the runway, and landed.

I thought my dad would come to the runway to greet me, but when I got off the plane, I couldn't see anyone except the cheering ground crew. I didn't see any of the Americans who usually work at the base.

Jackson got off the rear cabin and looked at the wing box. He sighed. The front had been slightly deformed by the impact! It's lucky that the wing can still rotate normally!

Mechanical fatigue has occurred. The wing needs to be repaired.

"Rick, this collision has cost at least $800,000." Jackson said, "This wing box is made of titanium alloy, and $800,000 is also the company's internal price."

"I still have to be scolded." Rick looked at the wing box and sighed. After that, he asked the ground crew next to him: "Where is the base commander?"

"He went to the forced landing site of the Soviet plane." A ground crew said.

One hundred kilometers northwest of Peshawar base.

There are high mountains all around, and there is such a riverbed in the mountains, which simply leaves a way for the plane to survive, and at the same time, it also gives us a chance!

Although the plane has turned upside down and one wing is broken, the fuselage is intact. If it is repaired, it may be able to fly again!

The people who came to the air force base here by helicopter had fiery eyes, especially those Americans.

When the air battle broke out, the rest of the troops in the Peshawar Military Region were also on high alert. When they received the news of the fighter plane crash, the nearest ground force was dispatched immediately. As a result, they caught it and the pilots did not run away. At the same time, the plane was also well protected.

"Mr. Brigadier General, how do you plan to deal with this plane?" John, the general manager sent by Grumman, said to Muhammad.

When they learned that a Backfire was forced to land, these people were moved and asked to come with them. After all, they were helping their side now, and Muhammad had no reason to refuse.

When they got here and saw this almost intact bomber, their eyes widened.

Muhammad knew what they meant, and now he had to whet their appetite.

"Of course we should take it back to the base first." Muhammad said, "We can't leave it here in the wind and sun, but the mountain road is rugged and it's not easy to transport the plane out."

"Dismantling! We dismantle it into several sections and then we can transport it out by truck!" John said, "We are willing to help our friends on a voluntary basis."

Even if we can't get it, we can learn more about the fighter plane during the disassembly process.

"Then we have to act quickly." Muhammad did not object: "When the Soviets know that their Backfire has fallen, they will definitely send planes to bomb it again, and they may even launch ground-to-ground missiles."
