Chapter 199 The missing flight

When the Shrike missile lost its target, the F-16 fighter did not fly away immediately. The pilot drove the fighter and dived down at high speed.

The Tomcat fighter is mainly used to seize air superiority and kill the opponent's fighter, while the F-16 is mainly used to deal with missile troops on the ground.

In addition to the Shrike missile, they also carried two bombs. Now, the Shrike missile did not hit the opponent's radar. The pilot almost followed the Shrike missile and dived down. In the HUD, the target became larger and larger.

Dive bombing is the method with the highest hit rate. The pilot almost pressed the bomb button when he saw the erected SAM-3 missiles on the ground, and then pulled it up.

The 500-kilogram bomb fell along the glide path and exploded just a few meters away from the missile launcher.

"Boom!" Losing the radar guidance, although it was a short-term loss, the missile was already a pile of scrap metal. In the explosion of the bomb, the missile launcher was overturned, twisted, and burned.

When all four bombs carried by the two F-16s were dropped, the place was already a sea of ​​fire.

After taking control of the air, those on the ground were nothing at all, and could only be lambs to be slaughtered!

The Indians' plan failed again. They didn't know that the real blow was still to come.

The civilian airliner flew eastward into Pakistani airspace, and two Tomcat fighters were escorting it.

"The Rawalpindi Airport is ahead, pay attention to keep the course." Hassan directed the civilian airliner through the radio.

The two missiles that just flew from the ground scared the pilot of the airliner, and the reply in the radio was stuttering. Hassan had to guide the airliner and direct him to the airport here. Hassan was very worried whether this guy could land the plane.

Another formation flew over Kashmir and continued to monitor there. Hassan's formation should also return.

Anupam was not completely afraid. Just now, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, and he felt that his body began to become inexplicably weak, and his hands began to tremble involuntarily.

Now, he felt that his eyes were hazy and he could not see anything clearly.

"Velma, you take the drive." Anupam said.

Take the drive yourself? Verma was nervous when he heard Anupam's words.

Verma could see clearly, including the runway lights, which were gradually approaching. So far, it was relatively accurate.

However, Verma had no confidence.

"Haven't you flown for nearly a hundred hours, especially take-off and landing, and operated it alone dozens of times?" Anupam asked.

Nearly a hundred hours! He had only stayed on the plane for five hours before and after, and the take-off and landing training was only conducted once on the simulator. This pilot's license was completely bought. It was too easy to forge some study hours as long as he paid those people.

"Well, yes." Although Verma knew that he didn't have this ability, he couldn't reveal the flaws now.

"Pull back, maintain the pitch angle, and lower the landing gear." Hassan, who was flying with him, shouted on the radio. Now the other plane's nose was down, and if they went over like this, they would fall.

Verma pulled the joystick back and felt the plane immediately raise its head.

"It's too big, the tail will touch the ground!" Hassan continued to shout. Now, he knew that the two guys in the passenger plane must be scared.

Watching the passenger plane swaying, and finally the wheels rubbed the ground, but jumped up again, Hassan couldn't help but sweat for them.

The passengers in the cabin also screamed in fear, and one passenger was already taking quick-acting heart-saving pills with trembling hands.

Finally, the landing gear touched the ground again, and this time it finally fell down!

Next, it's time to brake, right? Verma stepped on the rudder with both feet, and stepped on it together to brake, just like driving a car.

"Bang." At this moment, a loud noise came from below.

"Damn it! The front landing gear hasn't fallen yet, and you braked, and the wheel exploded!" Anupam shouted.

Several wheels exploded in a row, and the remaining wheels were still rolling. Finally, the plane slowed down and then stopped.

This thrilling journey finally ended, and Anupam was covered in cold sweat.

This was a sleepless night.

At the Chandigarh Airport, people waiting to pick up their relatives had been waiting for the flight, but they never waited for it. They began to worry gradually.

In the middle of the night, finally, the news of the flight's loss of contact came. After receiving this news, many people sat on the ground and cried in despair. Lost contact!

New Delhi also did not sleep all night.

India's Iron Lady, Indira Gandhi, was now an old man with gray hair. She looked at the military and political officials sitting below her with a gloomy face.

Indira Gandhi was the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India after independence. This was her second time as prime minister. She was very experienced and tough.

Now, in the conflict in the Kashmir region, India is completely at a disadvantage. Several consecutive failures have made her extremely angry.

"Our powerful army can't even defeat the Pakistani Air Force fighting on the western front? Our air force with thousands of fighter planes can't actually defeat the Pakistani Air Force with less than 300 fighter planes?"

The current Iron Lady is no longer the person who could listen to other people's opinions. Especially after the successor she deliberately cultivated, her second son Sanjay, suffered an air crash, she became even more stubborn and suspicious of everyone around her. of loyalty.

No one would answer her at this time. The Iron Lady knew politics very well, but did not understand military affairs. She did not know that air force power was definitely not a comparison of numbers. In the past, it might have been like this, but now, the advantage of numbers, It is completely inferior to its quality advantage. Pakistan is equipped with mainstream American fighters, while India is equipped with second-rate Soviet fighters. The confrontation between the two sides is not on the same level at all.

Four Pakistani fighter planes suppressed the Srinagar Air Force. As long as they took off to fight, the MiG-21 was shot down by the Phoenix before it could reach the position where it could launch combat bombs. Now, in Fear of this missile has also begun to spread among the Indian Air Force, and they are unwilling to take to the air for combat.

The order to bomb the Sagoda base yesterday was given by the Iron Lady. The results have now come out. The planes at the Sagoda base were unscathed, while our own Adampur base was disabled. Although there was a problem with the on-site commander. , However, the opponent's aircraft is too powerful and cannot be fought by our own side. This is a fact.

"Nayak, what exactly is going on?" Iron Lady asked.

Nayak is the Air Force Chief of Staff, and now he has an unshirkable responsibility.

After hearing the Iron Lady's question, Nayak said: "Our MiG-21 fleet cannot compete with the Tomcat fighters, and the Soviets also suffered a lot from the Tomcat fighters..."

"That's not what I want to hear. I'm asking you, how does the Air Force plan to deal with this situation now?" Iron Lady said: "You must come up with a complete plan to defeat the Pakistani Air Force!"

A perfect plan? Even civil aviation is used, and the military has stepped aside. Is there any plan to rush in and die?

"We..." Before Nayak could finish his words, the Cabinet Secretary hurriedly walked in: "Report to the Prime Minister, something happened!"

Something happened! The Cabinet Secretary turned on the TV, and an interview was going on inside.

"At that time, we saw flames jumping up from below, yes, it was a missile! We did not expect that our own army would actually launch missiles to shoot down our passenger plane!" This is a passenger who is still awake, Describe the situation in detail.

"Last night, a passenger plane strayed into the northern region. The Indian surface-to-air missile force launched a missile and almost shot down the passenger plane." A reporter held a microphone and stood in front of the camera: "Now, let's interview India about this incident. The captain of Airline Flight 345, he's going to tell us what's going on."

When the camera turned, a bearded captain stood aside and said: "This is a confidential flight. Before taking off, I received an order from the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, asking me to fly to the Kashmir no-fly zone. I know that this mission is very important." Tough, but I accepted it because, I used to be an Air Force pilot! I might have been shot down by a Pakistani fighter plane, but I never thought that surface-to-air missiles would attack us. Now, I am requesting asylum in Pakistan. All passengers on Flight 345 have landed safely in Rawalpindi. Thanks to the two planes. With the help of the Tomcat fighter jet, I landed safely.”

"Pa." The TV was turned off by the Iron Lady.

It's only the 1980s, and televisions only appear in wealthy families, but they are already common in the West. The exposure of this incident will make the Indian government's situation even more difficult.

"Nayak, what's going on?" The expression on the Iron Lady's face became even more gloomy.

"You signed the order and agreed to this matter." Nayak said: "In order to reverse the situation, we have to use special methods. There were American passengers on that flight. The Pakistanis accidentally shot down the flight and killed Americans, the United States will definitely be very disgusted, and we can divide the alliance between the United States and Pakistan."

"That's not what I'm talking about. You promised me that this thing would succeed. Why has it failed now?" The Iron Lady said, "You have brought shame to our entire India!"

Nayak knew that his military career was probably coming to an end. At this time, his colleagues were all lowering their heads. If the Prime Minister was to get angry, someone would be unlucky, and this time it was Nayak.

"You have been discharged." The Iron Lady said, "Now, report to the military court yourself and prepare to be tried. You have an unshirkable responsibility for this civil aviation incident."
