Dominate South Asia

"Hubbard, the 200th Aviation Regiment requests to take off." On the runway, Soviet pilot Vlasolovich said on the radio.

He is the commander of the 200th Aviation Regiment, and their regiment has been equipped with the most advanced Su-27 fighters.

"You can take off." The voice of the tower came from the headset.

Turn on the afterburner, the two AL31 engines roared, and the thrust of more than 100 kilonewtons, the majestic force, pushed the fighter, almost like a catapult takeoff on an aircraft carrier, the fighter quickly taxied and rose into the sky.

The fly-by-wire control, the operating lever is extremely light, no longer like the MiG-29, a few dives and pulls up, and the pilots are exhausted. The fighters that are pulled up turn skillfully and begin to gather in the designated airspace.

Over northern Afghanistan, a patrolling E-2 early warning aircraft immediately discovered the Soviets' usual behavior. Their fighters are taking off in large numbers!

Alarm, alarm!

At the Peshawar Air Force Base, a sharp alarm sounded, and the pilots came out of the duty room and hurried to their fighter planes.

In recent days, they have been well prepared. The fighter planes are equipped with missiles and full of fuel, ready to fight at any time!

In the solid cave, a series of Tomcat fighters were pulled out by tractors and assembled on one side of the runway.

Although Major General Hussein has become the commander of the Peshawar Air Force Base, he still got into the cockpit in this operation to meet the enemy on the front line!

The TF41 engine at the tail spewed flames, and the ground crew gave a thumbs up after checking that the tail flame was in good condition.

Release the brakes, and the Tomcat fighter is gliding on the runway, with four Phoenix missiles under the belly. The Sparrow missiles and Sidewinder missiles hanging on both sides of the wings are reflecting the sunlight.

Take off, take off!

One after another, Tomcat fighters flew into the sky, and on another runway of the base, E-3 early warning and EC-130H electronic jammers also began to take off.

In this level of air combat, hundreds of fighters will gather in a small airspace. Only the E-3 early warning aircraft can command them, and the efficiency of transmitting messages through data links is much higher than voice commands.

In order to avoid the threat of the Soviet Air Force, the E-2 early warning aircraft flying over Afghanistan and the two accompanying f-16 fighters began to return. The E-3 early warning aircraft with a longer detection distance will take over the E-2 early warning aircraft and take on the task of monitoring and command. At the same time. For the safety of their own side, they mainly fly over Pakistan, and there are also four F-16 fighters escorting.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

The twenty-four Tomcat fighters that took off earlier. The formation was lined up in a row, spanning a distance of hundreds of kilometers, looking like a wall that is slowly moving forward.

This is the new tactic that the Pakistan Air Force has practiced under the instruction of President Muhammad, the Tomcat Wall!

These fighters, lined up in a row, rely on their Phoenix missiles to provide a hundred-kilometer defense line!

And behind them. At a distance of fifty kilometers, is the second formation of twenty Tomcat fighters, forming a wall.

During World War II, fighters flew in the sky, biting each other's tails, shooting down, being shot down, shouting in the radio. The sound of machine guns, and cries for help were the characteristics of that era. However, after entering the jet age. The turning radius of combat aircraft is getting larger and larger. This scene. It is impossible to reproduce. If there are too many planes in the sky, then pilots often first consider how to avoid colliding with themselves.

Mobilizing fighter jets, a formation similar to a wall, to sweep all enemy air targets in the airspace ahead, this is the "Eagle Wall" tactic, which was first used by the United States in the Gulf War. Because of the air superiority of the F15 "Eagle" fighter, it is called the "Eagle Wall". Now, Muhammad first copied these tactics, and the executor is the Tomcat fighter, that is the Tomcat Wall!

Perhaps, the Tomcats will face the elegant and sharp Mirage 2000 with a triangular layout driven by the Indians, or the graceful and flexible conventional layout "airfield fence" MiG-29 "Fulcrum", or even the proud Mirage 4000 of Dassault; or the "bright-looking soft-bone patient" Su-27 "Flanker"; or perhaps the F14 "cats" or F/A18 "big bugs" on the other side of the sea, which was once the country where the Tomcats were originally born... No matter what the enemy is, the Tomcat fighters firmly publicize their beliefs: this is Pakistan's airspace, which is sacred and inviolable. Whoever dares to come here will be "killed but not buried"!

When the Tomcat fighters advanced into northern Afghanistan from the west of the Peshawar base, a large number of fighters taking off from the Turkmenistan Military District on the opposite side also entered the northern airspace of Afghanistan at the same time.

The distance between the two sides is gradually closing.

There was a noisy sound in the headset, and the other side also applied radio interference.

"Immediately activate the anti-jamming system and switch to the frequency hopping band." Hussein shouted on the radio.

He only needed to give the order, and the radar officer in the back began to operate nervously.

The flat slot radar antenna originally had a narrow beam and good anti-jamming performance. In the past, the AWG-9 radar was used, which was almost not interfered with. Now, the modified APG-71 radar is used, which has stronger anti-jamming performance. Therefore, the radar officer in the rear cabin just turned a few switches to completely eliminate the interference.

(Back in the 1990s, when the Su-27 fighter was patrolling in the Taiwan Strait, it encountered interference. The radar was covered with snow and nothing could be seen. Later, the J-82 cruised over. The J-82, which used a flat slot radar, was able to lock onto targets and launch despite the interference.)

At the same time, the radio was originally a frequency-hopping radio. When interference was detected, it began to automatically hop to the band with the least interference and continued to work.

Through the data link, they continued to receive information from the early warning aircraft. Their own electronic jammers had not yet started working.

The most nervous person was still the radar officer in the rear cabin, who began to power on the four Phoenix missiles one by one, activate them, and start the work before launching.

The Tomcat Wall relies on the Phoenix missile! This wall is extremely hard!

At the same time, the Su-27 fleet on the opposite side also began to approach quickly. They were not subject to radio interference for the time being. They calmly turned on their radars and prepared to launch R-33 missiles.

The A-50 early warning aircraft in the rear still relied on voice guidance, so most of the time, they could only communicate with the flight squadron, and then the squadron leader would convey it to the lower level.

When the distance was 150 kilometers, the Su-27 fleet turned on its radar, and the main power of the aircraft was all supplied to the radar. The front Gasserin antenna continuously radiated electromagnetic waves, and the airspace on the opposite side was already filled with electromagnetic waves.

Because of the heavy R-33 radar, their maneuverability was limited, and they could only fly steadily. After firing the two R-33 missiles, they would become more relaxed.

Now, bright spots began to appear on the radar. Due to the huge reflection area of ​​the Tomcat, their radar successfully intercepted the target 100 kilometers away.

Get ready to launch!

Controlling the fighter while pressing the switch to launch the R-33 long-range missile was a test for the single-piloted Su-27 fighter.

On the opposite side, almost at the same time, the Tomcat fleet also began to prepare for the launch.

The early warning aircraft assigned the target, and the APG-71 radar in front was briefly turned on to intercept further data of the target. Amid the sound of "Fire" constantly coming from the headphones, Phoenix missiles were continuously fired from under the belly of the aircraft.

On the wide offensive surface of more than 100 kilometers, 24 fighters formed a wall, and the missiles they fired flew in front of this wall, forming a rain of arrows again.

Each fighter had four Phoenix missiles, and this time, there were nearly 100 missiles. The surplus of missiles was enough for them to use Phoenix to attack the same target with two missiles.

The combination of Tomcat fighters and Phoenix constituted a long-range interception force! Even if they were shooting against R-33, they were not afraid at all. Relying on the active guidance advantage in the final stage, they successfully defeated the MiG-31.

And now, they were aiming at the opponent's Su-27 fleet.

Since the Phoenix has a greater range advantage, after the Phoenix missile was launched, when the two sides approached 80 kilometers, the Su-27 fighter jets on the opposite side started the same launch.

When the heavy R-33 missile was detached, the pilots breathed a sigh of relief.

"Keep flying level and guide the missile." Vlasolovich shouted on the radio.

It is not enough to launch an air-to-air missile. If you want the missile to hit the target, you need the continuous guidance of the carrier aircraft!

At this time, the missiles on the opposite side are also flying. The competition is completely the courage of both sides!

The Su-27 fleet continued to fly level, relying on their radar to guide the missiles launched, and countless electromagnetic waves spread in the air.

At this time, the Tomcat fleet suddenly changed. They turned their noses, turned in the air, and began to retreat to the rear!

The Pakistan Air Force was finally scared! Vlasolovich thought in his mind that this was a good opportunity!

Once the enemy escapes, the Phoenix missiles fired at them will become uncontrolled rockets without the guidance of the aircraft carrier radar, and our missiles will catch up and kill the enemy!

The Su-27 fleet continues to fly level, guiding our missiles, and those Phoenix missiles, although still flying over, are like stray bullets, and the chance of being hit by them is too small. (To be continued ~^~)
