Forty anti-ship missiles, flying at low altitude skimming the sea, were designed to break through the American Aegis system in Soviet saturation attack tactics.

And now, these missiles are used to attack the aircraft carrier formations of the Indians, and it takes little effort.

The biggest mistake of the Indians was that they thought Pakistan did not have enough air power to attack them, and moved their aircraft carriers within patrol range of land-based fighters. At the same time, they have no other choice, their Sea Harrier fighters do not have enough range, and if they are not close to Pakistan's coastline, they simply cannot provide effective ground support.

And now they are again paying for this wrong plan.

There are very little wind and waves on the sea, and the missiles fly on the surface of the sea as if they are dancing on the waves.

One of the outermost supply ships of the formation, which was the first to be attacked, was unfortunate enough to ignite its fuel when two C-802 missiles flew in, and the entire supply ship burst into flames.

"Boom!" With the sound of violent explosions, the Indian Navy reacted, and the Pakistani attack began again!

The radio was jammed, and Ravi-Rikye was in the bridge, watching the warships of the formation hit again, but could not give any orders to the other warships.

On the deck, one after another Sea Harrier carrier-based planes hurriedly aimed at the runway and flew into the sky.

Where is the Pakistan Air Force? Be sure to take revenge, get revenge!

The Indian Naval Aviation, full of anger in its chest, rushed into the air, and at this time, the skid jump took off to show its advantages, there was no need to consume a lot of steam, there was no need to wait for the catapult to reset. They only need to aim at the runway to start afterburner and take off, and they are so efficient that even the first fighter has just left the jump deck, and the second has already taken off!

Two aircraft carriers, amid the explosion of ships around them. Having completed the sortie of the carrier aircraft, more than two dozen Sea Harriers, left the deck.

At this time, the air battle has already begun.

When the C-802 hit the supply ship, two Sparrow missiles also flew behind the Sea Harrier.

"Boom!" The Sparrow's warhead exploded, numerous fragments, and flew to the middle of the Sea Harrier's fuselage.

The pilot worked hard to make the fuselage stable. However, the wing jerked and flipped over.

In order to control the stability of vertical take-off and landing, in addition to the downward engine nozzle, there are multiple methane nozzles on the plane to control and adjust the attitude of the aircraft.

"Bang." The top cover was shot through by a cap gun. The ejection seat ignited, propelling the pilot away from the fighter.

Below. It is the rippling sea, falling into the sea, more than a hundred kilometers from the coast, he will also die.

Another Sea Harrier, which was hit directly and caught fire, did not have time for the pilot to parachute.

Two more Sea Harriers. Realizing that the neighboring plane had been shot down, he immediately turned around, and at the same time, the pilot began to prepare to lock on to the opposing fighter.

The Sea Harrier made a name for itself in the Battle of the Falklands, shooting down 21 Argentine fighters. However, the greatest credit is the AIM-9L Sidewinder missile carried by the Sea Harrier.

It is impossible for India's fighters to obtain Sidewinder missiles, and their anti-aircraft weapons are Magic air-to-air missiles.

This missile, similar to the American Sidewinder missile, entered service with the French Air Force in 76 and was France's first air-to-air missile.

Similar to the Sidewinder's body, however, there are two sets of wings in front of the body: one is a four-piece fixed delta wing stabilizer, and behind these four pieces there are another four movable control surfaces, which are responsible for the movement of the missile on the roll and pitch axes. The Sidewinder missile, on the other hand, has only four wings, and the advantage of this control system is that it has better control at high angles of attack.

This missile has an overload capacity of more than 35G, and the maneuverability is flexible, but, limited by the technology at the time, the seeker of this missile uses a unit passive infrared seeker, and like other first-generation missiles, it only has the ability to chase after, and in terms of comprehensive performance, it is only more advanced than the American AIM-9A/B model missile.

Now, pilots of the Indian Air Force operate Sea Harrier fighters, preparing to engage in dogfights with Pakistan Air Force fighters, seizing the tail part of the opponent's aircraft and launching missiles.

Unfortunately, they didn't have any chance, and the two Tomcat fighters that flew in front of them fired their own Sidewinder missiles.

At this time, the Pakistan Air Force used AIM-9M missiles, which had omnidirectional attack capabilities and strong jamming capabilities, and surpassed R-73 in other aspects except that the off-axis angle could not be compared with the R-73.

Moreover, it does not need to be cooled by the carrier aircraft, it has enough cooling system of its own, and when the Sparrow missile is launched, the Sidewinder missile begins to enter the pre-launch preparations, and the two Sea Harriers turn around and have been successfully locked by the Sidewinder missile.

Launch!

There was a flash of fire under the wing, and a Sidewinder missile, flying out from under Salad's wing, flew towards the Sea Harrier on the opposite side.

The Indian pilot's eyes widened as he watched the missile fly over, and in a panic, he pulled his ejection handle before the missile could hit his plane.

"Boom!" The missile exploded in front of the Sea Harrier, and countless broken rods drilled into the huge engine air intakes on both sides, and drilled into the unique shape of the Pegasus MK104 thrust steerable turbofan engine inside, and the rapidly rotating air intake blades were instantly broken, and the engine lost all thrust and fell from the sky.

Four cruising Sea Harriers were beaten down by two Tomcat fighters, and here, India's aircraft carrier formation was being hit by C-802 missiles one by one.

Small warships of less than 1,000 tons, after hitting one, almost immediately sank, and the larger ones were hit by two or three, and the sailors were struggling to save them.

Fortunately, the aircraft carrier was safe and sound, and not a single missile was hit.

This is a disgrace to the Indian naval aviation! In their anger, they slid and took off almost all the Sea Harriers that could be dispatched, and more than 20 Sea Harriers rushed towards the Tomcat fighters flying on the sea.

They were supposed to protect the aircraft carrier group, but now, the aircraft carrier group has already suffered a heavy blow!

This kind of ending is unacceptable to them.

Facing those sea harriers taking off, Rick's eyes were full of disdain: "Attention, use the Sidewinder missile, kill them!" ”

Rick is not going to waste even medium-range Sparrow missiles, it is enough to have a Sidewinder!

Looking at the oncoming Sea Harrier, Rick operated the fighter, a burst of fire flashed under the wings, and a Sidewinder missile flew towards the opposite side.

This Sea Harrier, seeing the oncoming missile, was in a hurry, immediately operated the fighter, the engine nozzle turned, stopped abruptly, hovered in the air, his eyes, stared at the missile, when the missile was about to hit it, he released the throttle handle, the Sea Harrier, which lost power, suddenly fell rapidly.

It's a pity that this is in vain, even if he loses all his power and falls like a big rock, it is only an overload of 1G, and the Sidewinder missile flying on the opposite side has an overload capacity of more than 30G, and the omnidirectional attack of the Sidewinder missile has a wide field of vision, and this maneuver of the Sea Harrier has not departed from the horizon of the Sidewinder missile.

"Boom!" The moment the missile caught up, the proximity fuse was triggered, and the warhead of the Sidewinder missile easily shot down the light fighter.

The Indian pilots did not turn a blind eye, this was the tactic taught to them by their British counterparts, an advanced tactic that appeared in the Falklands War!

The British told them that in the face of advanced supersonic fighters, Harrier fighters capable of vertical take-off and landing, have their own unique technology, that is, vector thrust!

The Harrier is the world's first practical vertical/short take-off and landing aircraft, with four jets that can rotate 0°~98.5° through the Guò Pegasus turbofan engine, providing the dynamic lift and vector thrust required for vertical take-off and landing, transition flight and conventional flight. At the same time, in order to control the attitude of the aircraft, there are also jet reaction nozzles on the wingtips, tail and nose of the wings.

What aircraft can hover vertically? Only sea harriers! This is a unique technique to get rid of missiles, get rid of enemy pursuits!

The Indians were fooled, this is the peculiar rhetoric of the British in order to sell fighters.

Rick took out the Sea Harrier and continued to move forward, catching up with another Sea Harrier.

The pilot of the Sea Harrier turned his head vigorously, looked back at the Tomcat fighter, and continued the tactics just now.

Ordinary fighters are the most dangerous to be attacked by tail-chasing, but the Sea Harrier is not afraid, because the Sea Harrier can fly vertically!

He pushed the throttle to the maximum, and the fighter began to accelerate, and at the same time, the Tomcat fighter behind him was also in hot pursuit.

Just when the opponent was about to catch up, he operated the fighter, the nozzle went down, and turned to hover, but he released the throttle, the thrust was insufficient, and the sea harrier began to fall like a big stone.

Since the sea harrier can sink vertically, the enemy planes in the rear, before they have time to react, fly over, and turn into themselves in the back, and they bite the back, so they want to run away!

He has prepared the magic missile in advance, and as soon as the other party flies over his sky, he will start locking and launching the missile!

It's a pity that this action of his has been seen through by Rick, looking at this fighter plane that suddenly hovered and then landed vertically, Rick knew what he was going to do.

Jumping clown! Rick pushed the lever, and the giant tomcat, grazing the top of the opponent's fuselage, flew quickly, and just above the opponent, Rick jerked the lever back and turned on the afterburner.

What is the saying? If you don't die, you won't die! (To be continued......)
