Chapter 125: Monsters in the Indian Ocean
Yes, indeed a twin-engine fighter.
The small and sharp nose, the high and bulging cockpit canopy, the S-shaped side wings like the curves of a beautiful woman, the double delta wings like the wings of the Roc spread, the semi-buried air intake that is almost integrated with the fuselage, the towering single tail and two engine tail nozzles.
Anthony searched every model in his mind for comparison, but could not find the corresponding prototype from the two accompanying combat planes outside the porthole.
What does this mean?
Pakistan actually got a completely new fighter, and it is a high-performance fighter that is no less than the F-16.
It's no wonder that Anthony gives such a high rating.
In fact, from the appearance of these two fighters to the present, almost all the officers and men of the New Delhi Air Force participating in the exercise, including Anthony, did not even notice the slightest thing, and they appeared in front of their eyes so suddenly.
You must know that for this exercise, Anthony has set up a dense reconnaissance blockade line 200 nautical miles away, and in addition, two of the eight Su-30MKI fighters have turned on the airborne search radar.
On paper, the Su-30MKI fighter's on-board radar performance is quite excellent, capable of spotting fighter-sized targets at a distance of 270 km.
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for the fighters of the Pakistan Air Force to approach them with such a close reconnaissance search, but these two new fighters came so quietly, not to mention, but also swaggered to join their formation, and actually grabbed the C position for the photo with the Su-30MKI fighters.
What made the officers and men of the New Delhi Air Force participating in the exercise even more frustrating was that the Su-30MKI fighter could not grab two new Pakistani fighters.
Because the maneuverability of the two new fighters is too strong, especially the small-radius turn is actually one-third smaller than the Su-30MKI fighter, and as for the climb rate, low-altitude angle and other indicators are not worse than the Su-30MKI fighter, in fact, none of the eight Su-30MKI fighters can hold the two new Pakistani fighters in several battles of card positions.
This made the New Delhi media reporters who took pictures of their own Su-30MKI fighters on the Il-78 tanker plane full of righteous indignation, and on the one hand they condemned the Pakistan Air Force for not emphasizing martial ethics and sabotaging their normal exercises, and on the other hand, they demanded that Anthony take tough measures to let the Su-30MKI fighters use strong means and drive out the two troublemakers without dodging or evading.
There were even activist media journalists who demanded that Anthony give the order to fire directly at the two intruding Pakistani planes.
If this is placed in normal times, with Anthony's character, the tone of shouting and killing is definitely higher than that of the most radical media? Anyway, don't you go up and work hard by yourself? Who wouldn't say pretty words.
But now...... Deep down in my heart, Anthony just wants to say, please let go? I don't want to die.
Yes? Anthony coaxed, not only coaxed? And I'm about to pee my pants.
No way, do you know your own business? Don't look at the Su-30MKI fighter bullying and bullying second-generation aircraft like the J-7, can they still show off their might? When encountering a real third-generation machine, it will completely pull the crotch.
The reason is very simple, this batch of Su-30MKI fighters produced by Hindustan Aeronautics cannot do complex high-maneuver maneuvers at all, and even some models cannot even turn on the engine afterburner for a short time, otherwise there is a two-thirds probability that the aero engine will stop? I'll drop the plane to you.
What is the explanation given by Hindustan Aeronautics? The quality of Russia's aero engines is not good, coupled with the decline of its own economic strength, and poor management has led to big problems with the delivered parts.
In fact, it is not like that at all, and if so, then in the north? How did the original Russian version of the Su-30MKI fighter that forced Pakistan's F-16 to perform well, but it was a serious crotch pull of its own production?
All models produced after the collapse of the USSR? Why is the gap so big?
Actually, it's not a question of the Su-30MKI fighter, and even more so of Russian components? It's the problem of Hindustan Aeronautics itself, which doesn't use the parts of the new aero engine of the original Russian version on their own planes? Instead, it was sold at a high price to North Korea, Iran, Algeria, Kazakhstan and other countries.
And then take a small percentage of the money earned? Purchasing old aero-engine parts from Ukraine and Belarus and loading them on their own Su-30MKI fighters? The huge price difference from this naturally went into the pockets of military generals and Hindustan Aeronautics executives.
This is a bit like the generals and merchants of the Ming army in the late Ming Dynasty, who resold ordnance, grain and grass to the Qing army outside the Saiwai and the rebel army in Guannai, which are all the same routines.
And Anthony is one of those vested interests.
So don't look at his righteous and awe-inspiring shouting at the adjutant, even if the F-16 comes, he is not afraid, even if the F-22 comes, he can be beaten down by the Su-30MKI fighter.
It's comparable to the god of war, a domineering mess.
In fact, it has long been determined that the F-16 is forced to move in the north, and it is even more impossible for the American F-22 to come.
But once it really came, Anthony was stunned, because his Su-30MKI fighter could only fly level, and could not do high maneuverability, so how to drive away and talk about combat?
If Pakistan comes to a generation difference aircraft like the J-7, it will be fine, although the Su-30MKI fighter cannot be highly maneuverable, but with the strong prestige of the Soviet-style aircraft, it can still deter the opponent and force it to retreat.
However, now the two combat planes that suddenly appeared in Pakistan are obviously several grades higher than the J-7, not to mention, the maneuverability is only higher than the original Russian-made Su-30MKI fighter, plus the bright air-to-air missiles under the wings on both sides, the "Heron" drone that was suddenly shot down before Lenovo.
It's no wonder that Anthony doesn't break out in a cold sweat.
"Oh my God, Pakistani planes...... They're ...... At...... What are you doing?"
Just when Anthony was in a dilemma, in the cockpit in front of him, the pilot of the Il-78 tanker suddenly let out an exclamation, and Anthony immediately gave a thrill, hurriedly left the command seat, rushed into the cockpit, and then saw a scene that made him frightened.
I saw two new Pakistani fighters rushing to the front of the IL-78 at some point, and then rolling back and forth in front of the IL-78 cockpit alternately left and right, perhaps because they didn't feel that this was enjoyable, and after the two planes rolled twice, the two planes suddenly deflected 180 degrees in front of the IL-78 as a whole, and led the way in front of the inverted flying attitude.
This scene not only frightened the Il-78 pilot's face pale, but also made Anthony's crotch tremble, no way, it was really too dangerous for the action of the two Pakistani fighters, you must know that the relative speed of the aircraft in the air is very large, let alone a collision, even a small scratch may destroy the plane and kill people.
And at this moment, the two planes of the Pakistan Air Force actually played stunts, and no one cared if they died or not, but if they were involved in the IL-78......
So Anthony couldn't care about any more face, and hurriedly patted the pilot's shoulder and said in a trembling voice: "Return...... Return...... Return immediately!"
......
"Wait a while, you can watch and listen more, international trade is not as complicated as you imagined!"
When Anthony was frightened and hurriedly withdrew his troops, Zhuang Jianye received an invitation from Zarif and came to the high-end hotel where Abdullah and Mahmoud stayed.
Immediately stretched out his hand to push open the door of the living room, and his originally serious face immediately bloomed into an extremely warm smile like a chrysanthemum, and immediately opened his arms and gave a warm hug to Zarif who greeted him: "I heard that our JZB-119 is called a monster in the Indian Ocean by the people of New Delhi, to be honest, I like this title very much, because it is really a monster!"
