Chapter 282: Flying over the enemy ship

Entering the Arabian Sea, the waves became smaller. The 14,000-ton aircraft carrier Vikrant sailed on the rippling sea. The water stirred up by the propeller formed two waves behind it.

The sky is clear and it’s perfect flying weather! Although the wind is not strong enough, it is not difficult to take off and land the carrier-based aircraft.

On the deck, two Seahawk carrier-based aircraft had lowered their wings. A deck officer directed the carrier-based aircraft to the catapult slide in the ejection area and hooked the front wheel.

At this time, the Sea Harrier carrier-based aircraft has been ordered, but it has not yet been equipped with the Indian Navy. They still operate the Sea Hawk carrier-based aircraft that relies on catapult takeoff. This is a carrier-based aircraft designed by the United Kingdom in the 1950s. In the UK, it was retired in the 1960s, but in the Indian Navy, it remained in service until the 1980s, until it was replaced by the Sea Harrier. Some of the Seahawk carrier-based aircraft in the Indian Navy are retired British aircraft.

The turbojet engine at the tail spurted out blazing airflow, and the baffle had been raised. With the white smoke leaking from the steam catapult, the Seahawk carrier-based aircraft quickly left the deck and flew into the sky.

The catapult was reset, and the second carrier-based aircraft also began to eject into the air.

The pilot flew the fighter plane into the sky and left the sight of the fleet.

The radar on the aircraft carrier was still rotating, scanning the sky and the sea. The two carrier-based aircraft were still in their sights.

"Attention, we are about to approach the Indian aircraft carrier formation, continue to lower the altitude." Thirty nautical miles away, the formation of five fighters was originally only a dozen meters high, but now, it has flown to a height of five meters above the sea surface.

Such a height is very dangerous. Even if a huge wave hits, the fighter plane may be shattered into pieces.

However, the Pakistani pilots were not afraid at all. The front fighter plane had eight stars painted on its nose, which represented that it had eight kills. In the era of jets, such results were something to be proud of.

Inside the cabin are the outstanding pilots of the Pakistan Air Force. Major General Hussain, at this time, he had taken over the position of commander of Peshawar Air Force Base, but he was still flying on the front line.

The first two Tomcat fighter jets have weapons mounted under their wings, including laser-guided bombs. If they are really in combat, they have now entered the final preparation stage before the attack.

Although these two Tomcat fighters have the ability to launch Harpoon anti-ship missiles. However, the United States only exported Harpoon anti-ship missiles when it bombed India's nuclear reactor last time. Such advanced air-to-ship weapons are no longer provided, so they can only get closer and use primitive methods to drop ordinary bombs!

The bombs are not ordinary either. Laser-guided bombs have higher accuracy than ordinary bombs, if it is in wartime. They are fully confident in blowing up the enemy's aircraft carrier!

Sparrow missiles, Sidewinder missiles... These are two Tomcats loaded with weapons and showing their ferocious teeth.

The airflow at the tail rushed into the sea water, and two waves of water were stirred up on the sea surface, just like the stirring of propellers, which was very spectacular.

Behind the Tomcat fighter jet. They are two F-16 fighters, also loaded with bombs, and also equipped with anti-radiation missiles, which can attack the electronic equipment of enemy ships at any time.

Followed at the end. It's a Mirage 3, this one is a reconnaissance type. The camera is ready for reconnaissance and photography at any time.

The flying height of five meters and the threat of death that may come at any time cannot make them timid. They are the bravest Pakistani eagles!

In the naval battle between Britain and Argentina just two years ago, the Argentine air force also used this method to sink several British warships. If the Argentine Navy had more Exocet missiles at that time, the outcome of the war might have changed.

The aircraft carrier formation was still sailing, and the thick smoke from the boilers formed black areas on the sea.

The personnel on the deck were busy. They would eject two Seahawk fighter jets again. However, the pressure of the steam catapult was insufficient and they were waiting for the boiler to continue to pressurize.

At this moment, on the sea, the roar of fighter planes was heard in the distance.

Are our own two Seahawks back? The crew on the deck couldn't help but look towards the sea in the distance, and saw several bright spots on the sea approaching quickly.

Damn it, use the runway on the angled deck! The deck crew was still surprised, why was there no call from the pilot?

When a fighter plane lands, the angled deck must be cleared. Although it is divided into a take-off area and a landing area, once the landing fails, the fighter plane must go around and rely on the take-off area in front.

Just then, a sharp-eyed deck crew shouted: "That's not our fighter plane!"

At this time, it was still more than 200 nautical miles away from Karachi. The Karachi base only had old propeller transport aircraft, and it was impossible to fly here.

What's coming? The crew on the deck were surprised when they saw the two fighter planes approaching quickly. There were weapons under the fuselage!

"Turn on afterburner and fly at supersonic speed!" Hussein gave the order to his wingman.

Although today's fighter planes are already supersonic, for example, the J-82 can fly at more than twice the speed of sound. It is called a high-altitude and high-speed fighter plane, and what a handsome man in the sky. However, almost all fighter planes achieve this maximum speed at high altitude.

The air at high altitude is thin and the resistance encountered by fighter planes is small, so they can fly at supersonic speeds, which all fighters can achieve.

However, only the Tomcat fighter can fly at supersonic speed at low altitude. With afterburner turned on, it can reach a speed of 1.3 Mach at sea level! You know, this is achieved with the backward TF30 engine!

In the future, in Grumman's new plan, the Tomcat fighter will be equipped with the advanced F22 engine, which can easily achieve a supersonic cruise of 1.5 Mach without afterburner! All this is thanks to the F-14's variable swept wing! With this swept wing, although the F-14 uses a backward engine, it still beats the F-15 to the ground.

When the afterburner is turned on, the wings automatically shrink to the end. Hussein pulls the control stick, the fighter raises its head, and starts to accelerate continuously!

In the wing box, some white airflow can be seen separating. This phenomenon is more obvious in the nose. In front, there is something called a sound barrier, which blocks the front of the fighter. Then, the fighter passes through easily. At the same time, a huge sonic boom is left behind the fighter. This huge sound spreads rapidly along the air.

"Wow!" On the bridge of the Vikrant aircraft carrier, countless portholes were shattered in the violent sonic boom. Every Indian naval soldier covered his ears with his hands to isolate the terrible sound. They looked up in surprise. The two fighters passed over their decks and brought them the feeling of death.

Under the wing, there is a crescent Pakistani logo, and those heavy bombs flashed before their eyes.

It's the Pakistan Air Force! The Indian naval soldiers were shocked. How did they avoid their own air defense network?

Before they could come to their senses, two more Pakistani fighters flew over.

The Tomcat fighter turned on the afterburner and flew over at supersonic speed, using sonic booms to greet them, while the maximum speed of the F-16 fighter at high altitude was less than Mach 2, so it was impossible for it to fly like this, so they used another method.

Lower the landing gear! Prepare to pass through!

The two F-16 fighters of the Air Force treated this aircraft carrier as their own. Although the Air Force and the Navy are two branches of the military, and this type of fighter has no ability to land on the deck, they still did it.

Lower, lower! The main landing gear is only a dozen centimeters away from the deck! You can even see that the wheels gently rubbed the deck, and then turned quickly!

The Indian soldiers on the deck had already hidden to one side, watching the two fighters pull up again, shaking their wings, and there were bombs under the belly!

The fleet commander ordered the two Seahawk fighters to fly back to protect them on the radio. Before he put down the radio, he saw another fighter flying over the aircraft carrier.

That plane, the nose kept flashing, it was a reconnaissance plane!

A formation of five fighters flew over the aircraft carrier formation in a swaggering manner, and the Indians did not react until they flew away.

On the Rajput-class destroyer, the single-arm anti-aircraft missile began to turn, aiming at the direction where the other party was flying, and prepared to start launching missiles.

At this moment, all the radars and screens were full of snow, and the radio was interrupted. They could not hear anything and could not do anything.

Pakistani jammers!

When the two Seahawk fighters rushed back, they only saw the buttocks of the Pakistani fighter formation, and they could not catch up.

At this time, they were still a hundred nautical miles away from the predetermined target sea area, but they had been slapped by the Pakistani Air Force.

This time, they just flew over the sea and flew over the other side's aircraft carrier formation. Next time, if they dare to get close again, it will be an impolite bomb dropped from the sky!

When the Mirage 3 fighter jets returned to the base, the photos were immediately developed. Pakistan picked out the best ones, such as the Indian Navy deck crews lying on the deck with their heads covered, and the broken glass on the bridge. These photos were released to the world by Pakistan.

"Thanks to our neighbors, today we conducted a joint exercise, flying over the aircraft carrier." Pakistan's Defense Minister Mushaaf said with a smile in front of countless cameras: "Our neighbors are very friendly to us. Look at these photos, are they prostrating themselves and praying?"
