Three more MiG-25s! In order to intercept accurately, a second Tomcat fighter must be dispatched! This is a conspiracy of the Soviets, they must have known that they only have two Tomcat fighters, so as long as there is a saturation attack, they will not have enough ability to intercept it, so they will make such a tactic.

"Height, speed?" Mhammad asked.

"The height is twenty-four, and the speed is zero-eight." Radar soldier said.

In terms of altitude, it is completely the height of the MiG-25, and the speed is less than Mach 1, this is because the MiG-25 cannot fly at supersonic speeds for a long time, otherwise the engine will be damaged, and now it has not entered Pakistani airspace, and the speed of Mach 0.8 is completely normal.

But Mhammad's eyes lit up: "No, there's something weird in this!" ”

Even if the Soviets were to use saturation tactics, they would never use these MiG-25s as bait, after all, the MiG-25 is so valuable, it would be extremely stupid to consume all the Immortal Bird missiles.

Definitely not the MiG-25! Then there's only one possibility! This is a high-altitude target aircraft of the Soviets!

"Take off an F-16 and fly behind the hunter, at the same altitude and at the same speed." "We're going to see what tricks the Soviets want to play," Mhammad said. ”

Take off the F-16? The F-16 can only carry Sidewinder missiles and simply does not have the ability to intercept the MiG-25, especially now that they have flown to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, which is completely futile. This thought flashed through Arslan's mind, and he suddenly reacted.

"Chief of Staff, do you think this is a high-altitude target aircraft of the Soviets?" Old Arslan asked.

"Yes," said Mhammad, "we will do it." ”

The radar can't distinguish the appearance of the plane at all, and what is displayed on the screen is just a bright spot. If it were not at an altitude of 24,000 meters, it would never be judged that it was the MiG-25, which was already the mindset of Pakistan's radar troops, but it was not only the MiG-25 that could fly such a high aircraft. Those high-altitude target planes are definitely capable.

The cost of the Immortal Bird missile is high, if this kind of missile is used to hit the target aircraft, it is definitely not cost-effective, and at the same time, once the Immortal Bird missiles mounted on these two Tomcat fighters are exhausted, they will waste precious time when they come back and hang the bomb and take off again. During this time, your own skies will be unguarded, allowing the opposing planes to fly.

The Soviets definitely fought with this idea.

Then the other side will also fool the other party, take off an F-16, pretend to be an F-14 to intercept, and let the other party be fooled.

Turkmenistan airbase.

Commander Khosnetsov stood in the command center, watching the radar soldiers in front of him busy for this attack. They also mobilized a Tu-126 AWACS aircraft to fly back and forth over Afghanistan. Surveillance of the air base of Pakistan's Peshawar Military Region.

The Indians dropped a MiG-25, and although they claimed it was a mechanical failure, the Soviets would never be fooled, and they quickly learned that they had been intercepted by the Pakistanis by relying on the dark lines laid within the Indian military.

It's different from last time. The last time the Soviets flew the MiG-25 because it was not flying high enough, it was jumped to 20,000 meters by the F-16 of the Pakistan Air Force in a powered way, and then killed it with a fighting bullet. And this time the Indian Air Force. It was forcibly intercepted.

The Pakistan Air Force is already equipped with F-14 fighters, plus the combination of Immortal Bird missiles, which can easily hunt down the MiG-25, which makes Horsnetsov feel uneasy, if he sends his own MiG-25 to reconnoitre, he will definitely lose another one.

The Soviet Air Force was definitely not afraid of Tomcat fighters and Immortal Bird missiles, the Soviet Air Force was the bravest and would not be afraid of any enemy!

However, it is still necessary to pay attention to tactics, and after careful reconnaissance, including news from KGB spies on the American side, the Pakistan Air Force now has only two Tomcat fighters.

In that case, let's go fishing first!

"The AWACS aircraft reported that the other side took off a fighter plane to intercept it."

"Report, the other side has taken off a second fighter plane."

Although I don't know the type of opponent's fighter, when I find that my MiG-25 group is flying, I must have taken off the Tomcat fighter, and I only took off one at a time, obviously I was afraid of my own back-up.

They are still fooled, and it is stupid to shoot down a high-altitude drone of only 50,000 rubles with expensive immortal bird missiles!

"Order, attack aircraft group take off, this time must successfully bomb the resistance in Afghanistan!"

Outside the base, a large bomber slid onto the runway.

The pointed nose, the huge rectangular air intake, the main landing gear are all three-row wheels, the huge vertical tail that gradually rises from the center of the back, and the tail is two large engines and a turret.

This is a large bomber, the tail is painted with the logo of the Soviet Red Army, the long fuselage is more than forty meters, the wing is relatively narrow, you can see the ability to rotate around the root of the wing, this is also a variable sweep wing fighter.

This is the pride of the Soviet Air Force, which could bomb the supersonic variable-swept wing bomber, Tu-22M, to the continental United States!

This is a legendary bomber, developed from 62 years and equipped with troops in 74, and NATO gave it the code name Backfire. Although the Soviet Union claimed that it was a tactical bomber, it actually had strategic bombing capabilities.

It can carry out supersonic cruise at high altitude or penetrate defense at low altitude, which makes it even more terrifying and is a magic weapon for the Soviet Union to threaten NATO. The Soviet Naval Aviation, on its own, was equipped with one hundred and sixty aircraft.

And now, in order to help stabilize the situation in Afghanistan, the aviation regiment of the Fourth Army has ushered in such a big guy to bomb the Afghan resistance.

Its first mission was to cross the border to bomb Afghan resistance group bases in Pakistan, including refugee camps, including weapons shipments.

Although it looks very smooth on the outside and does not carry any weapons, in fact, in its internal bomb bay, 15 bombs of 500 kg have been hung.

In order to operate it, a crew of four is needed, and at this time, in the cockpit at the front end, the pilot is operating such a big guy, gliding on the runway.

When they arrived, it happened to be the Tomcat fighter returning from the interception mission, and it took time to make another sortie, and it was this time difference that was enough for them to penetrate the defense at low altitude, and after completing the bombing, they could easily retreat.

At the same time, in order to protect the bomber, four MiG-25 fighters, also followed, taking off in a four-plane formation, ready to escort the bomber.

Under the wings, four R-40 missiles are mounted, which is a medium-range combat bomb specially used for the MiG-25, in the face of Tomcat fighters, the MiG-25 will not be beaten passively all the time, it also has the means to counterattack!

Five fighters flew into the sky, and after climbing to a thousand meters in the air, they flattened, and the wings of the Tu-22M2 bomber were adjusted to a sweep angle of 65 degrees and entered a low-altitude cruising state.

"Tracking and scanning method, three target aircraft." Oakes is still operating the radar non-stop, the distance is getting closer and closer, and it has entered the effective range of the Immortal Bird missile, as long as it flies another twenty kilometers, it will be more certain that it can shoot down the target.

"Okay, the number is ready, ready to be launched."

"Peshawar, the target has been locked, request an attack." Hussain reported on the radio.

"Abandon the attack and keep tracking." Arslan's voice came through the headphones.

Give up the attack? Hussein was stunned, but immediately executed the order: "Oakes, give up the attack and turn to the tracking state." ”

"Understood." Oakes replied in the rear compartment, attacking three targets at the same time, this is in actual combat, if it misses, it will damage the reputation of Grumman, since he asked to give up this multi-target attack opportunity, Oakes did not object.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and due to the height difference, the elevation angle of the antenna begins to increase and finally, it is impossible to track.

On the radar screen, a new bright spot appeared, which were the three high-altitude targets in the back, exactly the same as just now.

"The target is confirmed, the course, and the speed are always the same, and it is suspected to be a high-altitude target aircraft." Oakes said calmly, when he found this second batch of targets, Oakes also used his brain, if it was really a MiG-25, it would definitely not fly over his head.

"Turn to twelve o'clock and re-track." The sound of the ground was heard on the radio.

Re-tracking? What are these targets for? Oakes was puzzled for a while, Hussein in front had faithfully carried out the order, turned the course, and refollowed the three target planes.

Later, the F-16 fighter also turned around to keep up.

Turkmenistan.

"The AWACS aircraft came with the news that our six target planes were not attacked by the Pakistanis, they just continued to track."

Those two Tomcat fighters did not shoot down their own target planes, but just tracked? When he heard the news, Khosnetsov was also a little puzzled, what was going on?

"Our attack aircraft swarm will be over the target in twenty minutes." The adjutant continued.

Now that the situation has changed and the other side has not shot down the target aircraft, should the other side change its tactics and let the attack aircraft group return home?

"The target plane continued to fly eastward, taking the two Tomcat fighters with them, all the way to the eastern border." Horsnetsov said: "Attack the group of aircraft, continue to fly." ”

Since the opponent is flying with the target plane, then continue to fly, and the target plane will lead the two Tomcat fighters away, and the attack aircraft group of their own side can attack.

In addition to the Tomcat fighters, those F-16s are no match for their own attack aircraft group, and Hosnetsov insists on continuing to bomb, and the Afghan side needs their support. (To be continued......)
