Chapter 198: The Lost Flight
When the Mozu missile lost its target, the F-16 fighter did not fly away immediately, and the pilot piloted the fighter plane and dived down at high speed.
Tomcat fighters are mainly used to seize air supremacy and kill the opponent's fighters, while the F-16 is mainly used to deal with missile forces on the ground.
In addition to the Mozu missile, they also mounted two aerial bombs, and now, the Mozu missile did not hit the opponent's radar, and the pilot almost followed the Mozu missile, dived down, and the flat display, then the target is getting bigger and bigger.
Dive bomb dropping is the way to hit the highest rate, and the pilot almost has to see the SAM-3 missiles erected on the ground before pressing the bomb button and then pulling it up.
The 500-kilogram bomb, along the glide line, landed and exploded just a few meters from the missile launcher.
"Boom!" Having lost radar guidance, albeit a short loss, the missile was already a pile of scrap metal, and in the explosion of the bomb, the missile launcher was overturned, twisted, burned.
By the time all four bombs carried on the two F-16s were dropped, it was already in flames.
When air supremacy is seized, what is on the ground is nothing at all, it can only be a lamb to the slaughter!
The plans of the Indians, once again bankrupt, they do not know, the real blow, is still to come.
The civil airliner flew eastward into Pakistani airspace, and next to it, two Tomcat fighters were escorting.
"Ahead is Rawalpindi Airport, keep your course." Via the radio, Hassan commanded the airliner.
The two missiles that flew from the ground just now frightened the pilot of the passenger plane, and the radio replied with a stammer. Hassan had to guide the plane and guide him to the airport here. Hassan was worried about whether the guy would be able to land the plane.
Another formation flew over Kashmir. Continuing to monitor there, it's time for Hassan's formation to return.
Anupam was not completely afraid, just now a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, and he felt that his body began to become inexplicably weak, and his hands began to tremble involuntarily.
Right now. He felt a trance in front of him, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Verma, you get behind the wheel." Anupam said.
Driving yourself? When Verma heard Anupam's words, he immediately felt nervous.
Verma could see clearly, including the runway lights, which were gradually approaching, and so far, they were fairly accurate.
However, Verma did not have confidence.
"You've flown for nearly a hundred hours. Especially the take-off and landing, have you also operated dozens of times alone? Anupam asked.
Nearly 100 hours! Before and after, I spent five hours on the plane, take-off and landing training, which was only carried out once on the simulator, and this pilot license was completely bought, as long as I gave money to those people. It's too easy to fake some school hours.
"Well, yes." Verma knew he wasn't capable of it. We can't show any flaws now.
"Pull back, keep the elevation angle, and put the landing gear." Hassan, who was flying with him, shouted on the radio, now the nose of the other party's plane is down, so that if you pass, you can't fall?
Verma pulls the lever back. Feeling the plane, he immediately raised his head.
"It's too big, the tail will touch the ground!" Hassan continued to shout, and now he knew that the two guys in the airliner must have been terrified.
Watch the airliner stagger. Eventually, the wheels hit the ground, but they jumped up again, and Hassan couldn't help but sweat them.
The passengers in the cabin were also screaming in terror, and one passenger was already taking a quick-acting heart-saving pill with trembling hands.
Finally, the landing gear hit the ground again, this time it finally fell!
Next, it's time to brake, right? Verma stepped on the rudder with both feet, and together they pressed the brakes, similar to driving a car.
"Boom." Just then, a loud bang came from below.
"Damn! Before the nose gear falls, you brake and the wheels explode! Anupam shouted.
A row of wheels exploded, and the rest were still rolling, and finally, the planes slowed down and then stopped.
This thrilling voyage finally came to an end, and Anupam was in a cold sweat.
It was a sleepless night.
At Chandigarh airport, people waiting to pick up their loved ones have been waiting for their flights, but they have not arrived, and they are gradually starting to worry.
Waited until the middle of the night, finally, the news of the loss of contact with the flight came, and after getting the news, many people sat on the ground and cried in despair, lost contact!
New Delhi also had a sleepless night.
India's Iron Lady, Indira Gandhi, was already an old man with gray sideburns at this time, and she looked at the high-ranking military and political officials sitting below her, her face gloomy.
Indira Gandhi, India's first post-independence Prime Minister Jawaharal? Nehru's daughter, who is already her second prime minister, is very sophisticated and tough.
Now, in the conflict in Kashmir, India is completely at a disadvantage, and several successive defeats have made her extremely angry.
"Our powerful army can't even help the Pakistani Air Force, which is fighting on the Western Front? Our Air Force, which has thousands of fighters, can't beat the Pakistan Air Force, which has a total of less than 300 fighters? ”
The current Iron Lady is no longer the person who can listen to other people's opinions, especially after the second son Sanjay, the successor she deliberately cultivated, was killed in a plane crash, she became even more stubborn and doubted the loyalty of everyone around her.
No one will answer her at this time, the Iron Lady knows politics very well, but she doesn't understand the military, she doesn't know, the air force, definitely not a quantitative comparison, in the past, maybe it can be so, and now, the advantage in quantity is completely inferior to the advantage in quality, Pakistan is equipped with the mainstream fighters of the United States, while India is equipped with the second-rate fighters of the Soviet Union, and the confrontation between the two sides is not at the same level at all.
The four Pakistani fighters suppressed the Srinagar Air Force to the point that they could not raise their heads, as long as they took to the air to fight, the MiG-21 was shot down by the immortal birds before it could launch combat bombs, and now, the fear of this missile has also begun to circulate in the Indian Air Force, and they are unwilling to take to the air to fight.
The order to bomb the Sargoda base yesterday was given by the Iron Lady, and the results of the battle have now come out, the planes at the Sargoda base were unharmed, and the Adampur base on their own side was disabled, although there was a problem with the commander on the spot, but the opponent's plane was too strong to fight against itself, this is a fact.
"What the hell is going on, Ark?" Iron Lady asked.
Nayak is the chief of staff of the Air Force, and now, he has an unshirkable responsibility.
Hearing the Iron Lady's question, Nayak said: "Our MiG-21 fleet cannot compete with the Tomcat fighters, and the Soviets have also suffered a lot from the Tomcat fighters..."
"That's not what I'm going to hear, I'm asking you, how does the Air Force plan to deal with this situation now?" The Iron Lady said, "You have to come up with a perfect plan to defeat the Pakistani air force!" ”
Well-planned? Even civil aviation has been used, and the army has stepped aside, what other plan can there be, rushing up to death in a swarm?
"We—" Nayak's words were not finished, and the cabinet secretary hurriedly walked in: "Report to the Prime Minister, something has happened!" ”
Something happened! The Cabinet Secretary turned on the television, and an interview was going on.
"At that time, we saw flames jumping up from below, yes, missiles! We did not expect that our own army would actually launch missiles and want to shoot down our airliner! "This is a passenger who is still quite conscious, and he tells the situation in great detail.
"Last night a passenger plane, lost into the northern region, the Indian surface-to-air missile unit launched a missile, almost shot down the airliner." A reporter took the microphone and stood in front of the camera: "Next, let's interview the captain of Air India Flight 345 this time, he will tell us what is going on." ”
As soon as the camera turned, a bearded captain stood aside and said: "This is a classified flight, before taking off, I received an order from the Chief of Staff of the Air Force to fly to the no-fly zone in Kashmir, I knew that this mission was difficult, but I still accepted it, because, I used to be an Air Force pilot!" I thought that I might be shot down by Pakistani fighters, but I didn't expect that surface-to-air missiles would come to attack us, and now, I asked for refuge in Pakistan, and the passengers of Flight 345 have all landed safely in Rawalpindi, thanks to the help of two Tomcat fighters, I landed safely. ”
"Smack." The TV is turned off by the Iron Maiden.
It is only the 80s, and television sets are only used in wealthy families, but they are already common in the West, and the exposure of this will make the situation of the Indian government even more difficult.
"Nayak, what's going on?" The expression on Iron Lady's face was even more gloomy.
"You signed the order and agreed to it." "In order to turn the situation around, we have to use a special method, and there are American passengers on that flight, and if the Pakistanis hit the flight by mistake and kill the Americans, the United States will definitely be very disgusted, and we can divide the alliance between the United States and Pakistan," Nayak said. ”
"That's not what I'm talking about, you promised me that this thing would work, why did you fail again now?" The Iron Lady said, "You have brought us to shame on all of India!" ”
Nayak knew that his military career was about to end, at this time, those colleagues were bowing their heads, the prime minister was going to be angry, and someone had to be unlucky, this time it was Nayak.
"You're delisted." The Iron Lady said, "Now, go to the court-martial, and prepare for trial." You have an unshirkable responsibility for this civil aviation incident. ”
