Chapter 589: Fight Again
Attacked by international public opinion, the Indian Air Force could not sit still.
Immediately after Pakistan released its war report, the Indian Air Force claimed that it had been harassed by the Huaxia Air Force throughout the operation.
Harass!?
What is harassment?
Of course, the Indian Air Force spoke eloquently and presented evidence.
That is, throughout the course of the engagement, the fighters of the Indian Air Force received radar irradiation from the Huaxia AWACS aircraft, that is, they were constantly monitored by the Huaxia AWACS aircraft.
Is this called harassment?
Of course, it can only be called harassment.
Why?
The AWACS aircraft flew in the airspace of China and did not cross the border, did not even enter the disputed area, and did not violate international law.
More importantly, the Huaxia AWACS aircraft was only monitoring the battlefield and did nothing else.
The evidence that India has come up with is that it only detected radar waves, and it only scanned radar waves, that is, the Huaxia early warning aircraft did not use radar to continuously irradiate a certain Indian fighter.
Obviously, this is a completely normal move.
Later, when answering a question, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Huaxia said very humorously that two neighbors were fighting, couldn't they climb the window to observe?
Of course, there's more to it than just observation.
It's just that the Indian authorities simply can't come up with any evidence that can directly accuse Huaxia.
In fact, the first to detect those F-35AIs at that time was not Pakistan's early warning aircraft, but the KJ3000 of the Huaxia Air Force.
Why?
The F-35AI's forward stealth performance is the best, while the backward stealth performance is significantly worse.
Directly behind, the F-35AI has an RCS value of around 1.
This reflection value allows the KJ3000 to detect at a distance of 500 km.
At that time, how far was that KJ3000 from the battlefield?
In fact, it is only about 300 kilometers.
In other words, when the F-35AI flew to Fort *** and attacked the HQ-9B, it was already exposed, and there was no secret about its whereabouts.
As for whether the Pakistan Air Force has been alerted, it is impossible to know.
In fact, by this time, the two sides had the first chance of a ceasefire since the start of the war.
Why?
After the failure of the raid on Fort ***, the Indian Air Force has lost the opportunity to regain the initiative on the battlefield and will soon lose battlefield air supremacy.
Although the Indian Air Force can still fight and ensure air defense in key areas with its large aircraft fleet, it is impossible for the Indian Air Force to turn defeat into victory in the long run.
Without air supremacy, do you still need to fight?
You must know that on the fifth day of the war, to be precise, during the day, the Pakistan Air Force dispatched nearly 400 sorties, dropped thousands of tons of bombs, and destroyed hundreds of ground targets, most of which were tank fighting vehicles, as well as a lot of artillery.
While it's impossible to know for sure how many of these were fake targets, there is no doubt that the Pakistani Air Force dominates the skies.
If this trend continues, as long as the ammunition is not a problem, then the Pakistan Air Force will be able to completely defeat the Indian army just by bombing.
With high-intensity bombardment, will the Indian army still be able to attack?
In fact, given Pakistan a few more days, perhaps the Pakistan Army will attack first.
After suffering heavy losses, the Indian Army may not even be able to hold the border.
From this point of view, a ceasefire is more favorable for India.
Of course, on the morning of the same day, that is, after Pakistan issued a war report and India once again aimed the spearhead at Huaxia, the Chinese authorities issued a statement again, hoping that Pakistan and India would immediately end the fighting and expressed their willingness to facilitate the armistice talks.
This time, Pakistan did not respond immediately.
Why?
Having fought to this point, we have already won the initiative on the battlefield, why should we negotiate with India?
Even if you want to talk, you should use the initiative first, and then talk when you have enough.
Interestingly, the Indians also do not want to talk.
Immediately after the statement issued by the Chinese authorities, the Indian government said that it would never hold talks with Pakistan, let alone with the assistance of China.
In a word, India has not fought enough.
Of course, it is not wrong to say that you have not lost all your capital.
It can be seen that India at this time is actually a gambler who has lost a lot, but dreams of winning all the losses with the last bit of capital.
It's not just about losing, it's about winning the chips in the opponent's hand.
Arguably, this is also the most significant shortcoming of Indians.
What are the drawbacks?
I always want to take advantage of it, and I can't afford to lose anything.
Feelings, the whole world owes India, so India should be allowed to take advantage.
This is very clear when doing business.
That is, no matter how low the seller sets the price, even if it is already the cost price, the Indians still think that there is still room for bargaining.
Interestingly, while continuing to haggle, Indians want the best for everything.
Buy the best products at the lowest price.
Is it possible?
In the arms deal, the Indians often do this.
It's just that there are very few times when you really take advantage.
Why?
Is India qualified to bargain with other countries?
Take the arms deal as an example, the French Rafale is so expensive, India has not bought dozens of them.
Russian fighters are cheap, and the unit price of the Su-30MKI is only tens of millions of dollars, but in the later maintenance, India pays an extremely huge price.
There is also the American F-35AI, which is nominally cheaper than the Rafale, but the price of supporting equipment is extremely expensive.
Obviously, the style of trying to take advantage everywhere in India is actually poor.
If India first refuses to cease fire, Pakistan will not need to take a stand, after all, negotiations are a matter for both sides, and a slap in the face will not make a sound.
Why is India unwilling to negotiate?
Quite simply, until now, the Air Force has been fighting, and the powerful Indian Army, at least the powerful Army that the Indians think is powerful, has not yet been there.
You know, relative to the Air Force, the Indian Army has a greater advantage.
In terms of strength, the Indian Army is almost three times the size of the Pakistan Army, and has a larger reserve force with more domestic mobility.
In terms of main battle equipment, it is also almost three times that of the Pakistan Army.
In addition, India has its own arsenal.
After more than four days of fighting, coupled with the preparations made before the outbreak of the war, India's arsenal has basically completed production adjustments and has begun to play its value.
At the end of the day, it's still a lot of people.
India's population is almost 4 times that of Pakistan!
From this point of view, the Indian authorities have every reason to believe that the Indian Army will be able to defeat the Pakistani Army on the ground battlefield with its huge superiority in strength and population.
Although it has suffered heavy losses in the air battle, as long as it can win on the ground battlefield, India still has hope of winning this war, at least striving for a higher, more glamorous, and more proud result than it is now.
