Dominate South Asia

The huge advantage of vertical take-off and landing fighter jets is that it reduces the requirements for take-off and landing sites and no longer requires a long runway. For aircraft carriers, it can omit huge catapults and various arresting cables. It is very convenient to lower the equipment.

However, one disadvantage of vertical take-off and landing fighters is the rapid consumption of fuel and attitude control during vertical take-off and landing. Although many countries are interested in vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, they have all given up on their development. Only two models have been successfully equipped with troops. One is the Harrier and the other is the Yak-38. The Yak-38 suffered from tail flame burnout. The issue with melting decks was that they were only equipped on the aircraft carrier for a period of time, and then they all went ashore again. The only mature one left is the Harrier.

In later generations, the United States developed the F-35 fighter jet, which is common to all three services. The vertical take-off and landing model is still full of difficulties, and many problems cannot be solved.

The Harrier participated in the Falklands War and showed the advantages of this type of fighter aircraft. Therefore, India was very interested and purchased it as a package together with the aircraft carrier. It also transformed its original aircraft carrier to be able to take off this type of fighter jet.

Now, it is just the first take-off reconnaissance activity, and at the same time it is supporting our own army.

The formal battle on the ground has not yet begun. On the Indus River side, our army was blocked abruptly, delaying precious time. Therefore, the Indian Navy, which originally planned to bomb Karachi directly, first came to the sea off Thatta.

After the two Sea Harriers landed, the naval formation commander Ravi Rikje was in the bridge, looking at the lights on the deck that were gradually turning on, and said: "Add bombs, continue to take off the Sea Harriers, and bomb the Pakistani army." !”

There was a lot of activity on the deck as the Sea Harrier was refilled with fuel and ammunition. Along the deck lights, aim at the jump runway in front.

Since vertical takeoff consumes too much fuel, Sea Harriers always take off by ski jump.

With the tail nozzle backward, the pilot opened the throttle fully, faced the jump deck, and released the brakes.

The speed became faster and faster, and when it reached the jump deck, the nose of the aircraft immediately lifted upwards. At this time, he gently pushed the operating lever and turned the tail nozzle downward. With the power of the jet and the angle of its leap, the Sea Harrier easily left the deck and continued to accelerate.

On the pylon, except for the two auxiliary fuel tanks, there are bombs.

Pakistan's national airline.

The workshop was brightly lit, and the Tomcat fighter jets stayed there quietly, with technicians from the East. The front end of the opening nose was busy.

A girl wearing a white shirt, with beads of sweat on her nose, was holding a computer in her hand. Keep testing something.

Next to her was a tall and burly young man with a tall nose and blue eyes. He looked at her and couldn't help but urge: "Engineer Bai, when will our fighter planes be upgraded? The front line is waiting. Here we are.”

Snow White turned around. She flicked her short hair, looked at him, and then turned her head back.

These batches were US Navy carrier-based aircraft, and the programs inside were actually different from Grumman's settings. This caused Bai Xue's two upgrades to fail. The man in front of me is the pride of the Pakistan Air Force. Azazelric.

Now, on the third upgrade, they have rewritten the program and hope it will succeed.

Watching the progress continue to improve, she was worried about making another mistake.

finally. When the progress reached 100%, Bai Xue breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay. The upgrade has been completed."

"Then put the missiles on me immediately!" Rick said without hesitation.

After returning from South Africa, Rick did not catch up with the war in the north. The fighter planes directly entered Pakistan Airlines for modification.

The modification is also very simple, which is to upgrade the fire control and have the ability to launch C-802 anti-ship missiles. However, this modification was delayed for two full days!

The Indian aircraft carriers have all sailed to the waters off Pakistan! It’s less than 200 kilometers away from Pakistan’s coastline! The Indians are too arrogant and must pay the price!

"This kind of missile requires training before you can master the key points of launching it," Bai Xue said.

"That's my radar officer's business." Rick said: "We have launched Harpoon missiles before, and the launch process is the same. I repeat, hang the missiles for me immediately!"

Looking at the anxious air force pilot, Bai Xue said: "How many are hanging?"

"Hang as many as you can, just six." Rick said: "Hang four on the phoenix's hanging points, and hang the other two on the composite pylon under the wing box."

The ten Tomcat fighters brought by Rick are constantly undergoing modifications. The fighters that have completed the modification first have begun to mount weapons. The pylons of the Phoenix missiles are all empty. Now, they begin to mount weapons. C-802 anti-ship missile.

When it was rolled out from the workshop, the sky was already filled with stars.

The latter ones are still undergoing modifications. Only five fighters that have completed modifications have been launched first. The remaining C-802 missiles are also being tested.

"The Indian navy has arrived at our doorstep. We need to sink them here!" Rick said to his pilot: "Our territorial waters and airspace of Pakistan are sacrosanct. Now, let us Go fight to the Sea Harrier! Note, we will only attack the outer warships and two aircraft carriers, keep them for the Indians!"

This is a special order. If you think about it in general, the first thing to attack the enemy's navy is the aircraft carrier!

However, President Muhammad's order was to keep the aircraft carrier for the Indians and destroy all other peripheral warships!

What does this mean?

Rick, who knew President Muhammad's character well, quickly guessed it and expressed admiration for the president's wisdom.

If the Indian aircraft carrier was sunk directly, the Indians would realize that their broken aircraft carrier was vulnerable to the Pakistani Air Force, which might stimulate them to build a truly powerful aircraft carrier, more than 40,000 to 50,000 tons, with fixed-wing third-generation aircraft taking off and landing, and strong combat capabilities. And if they keep their two aircraft carriers, they will continue to keep them like treasures and continue to operate those useless Sea Harriers.

Is the Sea Harrier powerful? It is just a fight with Argentina, and it is still operating outside the combat radius of Argentina's land-based fighters. That thing is neither fish nor fowl, and has little advanced combat power at all. It can only launch close-range combat missiles, and cannot even launch medium-range missiles. Its air combat capability is scum.

On the runway, Rick gave orders to his soldiers and ran towards his fighter plane.

Climbing up, closing the hatch, looking at the lights on both sides of the runway, Rick was looking forward to the battle that was about to begin.

The tail engine spewed out hot airflow, which was so beautiful and bright at night. When the fighter plane began to take off, the tail flame was pulled into a bright line, with a graceful arc, flying into the distance.

Five Tomcat fighters climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters and began cruising.

The C-802 missile, like the Harpoon and Exocet missiles, is an anti-ship missile that flies close to the sea surface. The carrier aircraft needs to set the target before launching it. After launching, it depends on the missile itself.

Although this is the first time to launch this kind of missile and no target shooting experiments have been conducted in advance, Rick is very confident in this missile. Weapons from the East have always been very effective.

Coming out of the airline, heading south, flying over Pakistan's airspace, near Karachi, entering the sea.

The fighter began to descend, flying towards the target area from a height of 200 meters above sea level.

"Attention, we are about to enter the attack area, prepare to launch missiles." Rick shouted on the radio.

The radar operator in the rear cabin began to activate the missiles in an orderly manner, started the inertial navigation gyroscope on the missile, and prepared to set the launch data.

After flying for another 50 kilometers, Rick pulled the control stick back, and the fighter began to climb rapidly to an altitude of 1,000 meters, and then descended.

At this moment, the radar operator in the rear cabin had already scanned the surrounding sea area with the APG-71 radar and determined the target direction.

"Seven o'clock direction, distance 180!"

A distance of 180 kilometers! Rick drove the fighter and continued to fly forward.

In the vast night, there was a turbulent sea below, and there was only a dim background light in the cockpit. When flying at night, you need to completely trust the instruments, not your own feelings. Many times, feelings are illusions.

After descending to a height of 100 meters, Rick continued to fly for 60 kilometers. At a distance of 120 kilometers, he pulled up the fighter again.

When diving down, the nose of the aircraft was facing downward, and the radar was scanning quickly. There were more than 20 bright spots on the radar operator's screen.

The two aircraft carriers in the center that reflected the strongest radar waves were the Indian aircraft carriers! And the ones on both sides were escort warships!

Through the data link, the radar officer output the target data to the other four fighters. For key targets, two missiles were required, and for light frigates, one missile was enough.

The target data was quickly calculated by the onboard computer and turned into launch parameters, which entered the C-802 missile.

The distance was also rapidly approaching, and it was within a distance of 100 kilometers.

"Launch!" Rick shouted while pressing the launch button.

Under the belly of the aircraft, a flash of fire flashed, and the turbojet engine at the tail of the C-802 missile ignited and left the missile rack.

In the darkness, only the flames at the tail of the missile were visible. The instantaneous brightness even blinded the pilot who had adapted to the darkness for a short time.

The missile dropped in altitude and flew over the sea at an altitude of only 20 meters above the sea.

The C-802 missile was like a killer in the darkness. The sword had been unsheathed and would surely be stained with the blood of the enemy!

C-802 missile, attack! (To be continued ~^~)
