Chapter 1000 - One Shot, Into the Soul!

And this set of technical equipment aimed at exhausting the Pakistan Air Force's technical equipment, and finally gaining air supremacy in South Asia, was proposed by none other than Major General Anthony of the New Delhi Air Force sitting in the Il-78 air at this moment.

As the most strategicistic young general in the New Delhi Air Force, Anthony's resume can be described as brilliant, but compared with other New Delhi strategist generals, Anthony's biggest characteristic is action.

For example, this air exercise, which was forced off the coast of Karachi, Pakistan, took only half a month from planning to implementation, setting many records for the New Delhi Air Force in terms of execution.

Because of this, Anthony has been regarded as a real eagle by the military circles of New Delhi, and many observers and understandings assert that Anthony's future achievements are at least the chief of staff of the Air Force, and if he can maintain the wisdom and execution of the present, the Minister of Defense and even the higher head of government will not be incompetent.

Therefore, in addition to exhausting the Pakistan Air Force and deterring the entire South Asian region, Anthony also has the intention of enhancing his prestige through the exercise and paving the way for a higher level in the future.

Of course, for this to happen, the success of the exercise is a necessary condition, and Anthony obviously has his own set of criteria for how to demonstrate success.

"Now that there is no threat from the Pakistani side, let's start implementing our Forward Lookout program!"

After glancing at the busy reporters, and looking at the eight Su-30MKI fighters closely behind him through the porthole, Anthony nodded with satisfaction, and immediately gave a cold order to the adjutant next to him.

The adjutant was a little surprised when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he reminded: "General, this is tantamount to violating Pakistan's airspace, in case it is shot down......"

"Pakistan's farthest "Hawk" anti-aircraft missile is only 40 kilometers, and the "Standard I." on surface ships is also at the same level, and the "Heron" drone that we have just introduced from Israel has only slightly entered their exclusive economic zone, and the closest surface ship to them is also more than 80 kilometers, and it is about 140 kilometers from land.

"This ......"

As soon as Anthony said this, the adjutant was speechless, the Pakistani air force is very strong, but the air defense force is very weak, there is a strong air force, and the weakness of the air defense force can be covered.

However, at this moment, the main force of Pakistan's air force is pinned down in the north, and the air force on the southern coast is not strong in the first place, and New Delhi's long-term fatigue strategy has led to a sharp decline in the rate of technical equipment, which has further highlighted the shortcomings of Pakistan's air defense forces.

It was precisely because he was keenly aware that the Pakistani coastal air force was powerless, and the air defense forces were beyond the reach of the air defense force because of the limitation of equipment level, that Anthony dared to swagger and release the Heron drone that he had just purchased from Israel.

Do you know about this advanced long-endurance reconnaissance drone that just completed testing at the end of last year? Claiming to be the most advanced drone in the world? In particular, Wanshan's electronic reconnaissance equipment and communication support system are highly favored by even the US military? How many were brought back from Israel for testing? It is said that it is possible to purchase 100 aircraft.

It was after hearing this "insider" news that New Delhi spent a huge amount of money to purchase 4 aircraft from Israel? For border patrol and aerial reconnaissance.

Of course, the Air Force with Anthony as the core has less equipment and hopes that the government will increase the amount of procurement? At the very least, expand the scale to 20 aircraft? to barely cover the vast territory of New Delhi.

The government also wants to purchase more, but the problem is that the unit price of Israel's "Heron" UAV has reached 42 million US dollars, plus the cost of ground stations, personnel training, spare parts reserves, etc., 4 UAVs New Delhi has paid 220 million US dollars in procurement costs.

$42 million? New Delhi's own production of a Su-30MKI fighter is only 38 million US dollars? A drone turned out to be more expensive than a heavy multi-role fighter, and the New Delhi government, no matter how stupid it is, knows that it has been pitted.

However, Anthony and others don't care if the government is not pitted, they insist that UAVs, especially high-performance all-weather UAVs like the "Heron", are the modern equipment that the New Delhi Air Force urgently needs, and the government buys? That's responsible for the future of New Delhi; New Delhi is not a country.

As for the huge kickbacks paid by the Israeli company IAI to Anthony and others, Anthony will never mention it? After all, as a professional soldier, it is his duty to protect his family and defend the country? Talking about money hurts feelings.

But the generous advice of Anthony and others? New Delhi government all fart? NM was obviously pitted and put on the pole to be slaughtered, whether the brain was pumped or the cerebellum was atrophied.

Seeing that the government did not agree, Anthony and others did not give up, after all, there are so many kickbacks there, what a pity to give up, the government does not think that the potential value of the "Heron" cannot be seen, then he Anthony let the "Heron" flutter its wings in the exercise.

Directly broke into the coastal waters of Karachi, intercepted Pakistani communication signals, and photographed images around Karachi.

In this way, not only can you realize the results you have achieved in the exercise, but also highlight the tactical and strategic value of the "Heron" UAV.

At that time, his reputation will rise again, not to mention, IAI's rebates can also be in the pocket, fame and fortune can be described as a double gain, and he is a winner in life.

Based on this, what air exercises, what sea and air cooperation, and what reconnaissance planes arrived, to put it bluntly, are all Anthony's tricks, and everything is just to cover the "Heron" drone to sneak in and show the so-called "value".

The problem is that the New Delhi Air Force does not know all this, the government does not know, the media does not know, the Pakistani military does not know, and the UAE State Counsellor Abdullah and the Algerian Ministry of Defence Deputy Director General Mahmoud do not know about all this.

Relations between Pakistan and its neighbors were already very tense, and a live-fire exercise of a large group of planes from New Delhi took place off the coast of Karachi, and in order to ensure the safety of the two distinguished guests, the Pakistani military immediately arranged for them to be stationed at the Karachi underground air defense command post.

At this time, a New Delhi plane suddenly burst in from a high altitude, rushed into the exclusive economic zone, and pounced on Karachi.

Abdullah and Mahmoud were shocked when they heard this, because they knew very well that the air force deployed around Karachi was weak, and the air defense was even weaker, and once they were attacked by New Delhi planes, they would have nothing to think of but be beaten passively.

So both of them were worried in their hearts, and they both remorseed, they knew that Pakistan was so dangerous, what kind of defense exhibition did they go here to participate in, and he was not fragrant with wine in their respective countries, singing and dancing with beautiful women in their arms?

"Bang dang!"

Just when the two of them were pale, sitting opposite each other and thinking about their thoughts without saying a word, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and Zarif walked in in a military uniform, Mahmoud immediately got up and asked nervously: "Where was Karachi hit by the airstrike?"

"Nowhere else. Zarif shook his head.

"No, didn't the New Delhi planes break into the EEZ?" Abdullah asked.

"Yes, but we've already shot down the daredevil who broke in. Zarif replied with a smile.

"Shot down? What did you shoot down? fighter plane or anti-aircraft missile?" Mahmoud was surprised.

Zarif's smile became more and more intense: "It's a helicopter, and one shot, into the soul!"
