In the north of Pakistan, which was the bridgehead to resist the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, countless military resources were delivered to Afghan resistance groups through various means, including the jihadist groups that became famous in later generations, and are now the guests of honor of Western countries.

At the risk of supplying weapons to the Afghan rebels, the border north of Pakistan has always been precarious, don't look at Pakistan in 83 to get the American-made F16, but the adaptability training of this aircraft has been carried out in the rear of Pakistan, and even the legal Mirage fighters that have arrived in Pakistan for many years have not been deployed on the northern front.

It is hard to believe that on Pakistan's northern border, the main fighter is still the old J-6 aircraft.

Since the 79 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Peshawar, a major city of the Northern Air Force, has been equipped with J-6, and the subsequent 15th, 23rd, and 26th squadrons have been constantly replaced and stationed here, but these squadrons are all equipped with J-6 aircraft.

With the advent of '85, Soviet incursions into Pakistan's airspace became more frequent, and Pakistan sent ground troops to Afghanistan in November to support the resistance, which made the Soviets angry.

At this time, the biggest variable in history came, Peshawar Air Base ushered in the arrival of new fighters, from the old friend Jianjiao 7A fighter finally arrived, this aircraft does not need adaptive training, in October to receive the aircraft, the first batch of three planes flew directly to Peshawar, put on the battlefield.

The No. 534 aircraft on the runway has been filled with fuel, and two Sidewinders are hung on the two pylons under the wings, and the Sidewinders are standard equipment in Pakistan and the United Kingdom, and the Blue Fox radar can naturally guide this missile perfectly.

There were also two auxiliary fuel tanks hung under the wings. The pilot walks into the cockpit and gets ready. Start the engine and prepare for the air patrol. This is the fifth patrol mission, and I have more experience.

After the report from the tower, one of the best aircraft at the Peshawar base took off, although it is a fighter plane, but its current positioning is an out-and-out fighter plane, which can be directly put into combat.

The plane is full of fuel and loaded with weapons at the same time, and a backward turbojet 7 can only exert 70% of the aircraft's combat capability, but it is certainly enough for patrols. After takeoff, adjust the course and fly towards the northern border area, where the position is.

Turn on the radar and prepare to search, the arrival of the Jianjiao-7A finally gave Pakistan's northern border a radar that can search for enemy aircraft in the air.

After making an inspection, Anwar did not find anything unusual, not only did he not see a military plane, but even the civilian aircraft did not dare to fly in this dangerous war zone now.

Patrol missions are always boring. Anwar flies at cruising speed and at an altitude that minimizes fuel consumption and increases airtime, which is necessary for patrol flights.

But this time. Anwar was destined to be the hero of the last time, and the Randy Kota #4084 ground radar station in the border area discovered that the ground early warning radar search range is much stronger than the small-caliber single-pulse radar in the sky. Two radar sources flying from the direction of Afghanistan have already been detected.

"534, here is ground radar station #4084. Two aircraft of unknown type were found in the direction of your plane at 11 o'clock, please go to the border area to confirm. ”

Anwar looked listless while patrolling. However, the news from the ground radar station suddenly alerted people, and they were deployed to the base outside Baisha for half a month, and finally there was a situation.

While adjusting the course, he responded to the message on the ground: "No. 534 has received it and is flying in the designated direction, and it is expected that the situation will be ascertained in ten minutes." ”

The aircraft that took off from Afghanistan, there is no doubt that it must have been a unit of the Soviet Air Force, and judging by the usual interceptions, it was none other than Su-22, 25, MiG-23 aircraft.

No matter which aircraft it is, Anwar has absolute confidence in the aircraft he flies, and there will be no legendary generation gap against Soviet fighter-bombers and so-called third-generation fighters.

The MiG-23 was divided into third-generation fighters by the Soviet Union, but these aircraft cannot compete with the American F15 and F16 aircraft, and they are only a second-generation and a half-generation.

In fact, just as Anwar had guessed, the two MiG-23s that took off from Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan were tasked with escorting Su-22 fighter-bombers, and the low-flying Su-22 planes were going to bomb the arms transport lines in the border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The MiG-23 is now two planes that are openly about to invade the Pakistani border, and they are swaggering towards Pakistan.

On Anwar's radar display, two small green dots were finally seen, and as the radar continued to be refreshed, the two MiG-23s on the opposite side kept approaching the border area.

Looking at the other party's route, it was obvious that it was intended to invade Pakistan's airspace, which made Anwar rush to be extremely angry, these Soviets were too arrogant, do you really think that I am still flying a J-6 aircraft?

Without even saying hello, Anwar flew head-on to the two MiG-23s, and he had to show the Soviets the determination of the Pakistan Air Force to protect the country's airspace.

The high-altitude lark radar equipped with the MiG-23 had already searched for this Pakistani plane one step earlier when Anwar searched for the MiG-23, which was normal for the old Soviet bird who had been on the Pakistani border for many years.

Pakistan's imitation of the MiG-19 is already a backward aircraft that can no longer be left behind, and it has no chance of winning against the MiG-23 piloted by itself, and now it is just another self-inflicted humiliation.

"Aleusin, do you see the Pakistani plane on the radar? He seems to be irritated by us, and now he is flying towards us, and we need to go and say hello again, but unfortunately this time there is only one plane. ”

Pakistan has full confidence in the new aircraft by patrolling dangerous border areas with a single aircraft, and of course, it is also related to the fact that only three aircraft have been delivered.

There are too few planes, double-cheek formation patrols are really not possible, one hangar maintenance, one is on standby for takeoff, and one air patrol is the bare minimum.

Fifteen minutes later, in the blink of an eye, the two sides entered the visual stage on the side close to the Pakistani border, thanks to the excellent design of the Jianjiao 7A, the cockpit vision has been very well improved, and Anwar first saw the two MiG-23 aircraft on the opposite side flying head-on.

Although the MiG-23 cockpit vision is not very good, but the forward vision is absolutely guaranteed, Belenkov, as a long plane, saw this oncoming new plane, expressed great surprise, what kind of new aircraft is this?

With nose radar illumination, air intake on both sides, single vertical tail, delta wing layout, the front looks like a French Mirage 3 fighter, and if you think about it, it seems that Pakistan does have this aircraft.

"Aleusin, Pakistan's Mirage 3 fighter is coming, it seems that Pakistan has finally learned to be smart this time, I'll try the Dassault fighter first."

As soon as the words fell, Belenkov was about to speed up to catch up, preparing for an ordinary border friction, this kind of thing is too normal, for the air force that can drink in the army, what else is there to dare to do.

Belenkov was about to rush upward, but Alyushin saw the difference, the plane was definitely not a Mirage 3, especially when the plane threw away the auxiliary fuel tank and demonstrated the swing of the wings, revealing the two missing missiles under the wings.

Aleusin saw the difference between this aircraft and the Mirage 3, although it was also a two-sided air intake, but the layout of the air intakes of this aircraft was very different from the Mirage 3.

The Mirage 3 air intakes are arranged above the wings, but this aircraft is arranged under the wings and tilted inward, which is a new aircraft that has never been seen before. (To be continued......)
