The number of planes over Afghanistan has decreased, and even Bagram Air Base has stopped fighter jets from taking to the skies for a day or two, and there are no aircraft patrolling along the border, and the Free Afghan Army has won a respite, but everyone knows that this is just the calm before the big war.

Everyone knows that once the fighting begins, it will be an earth-shattering battle, and the Soviets are probably looking for an interface to provoke conflict in Pakistan's border areas.

In response, the Peshawar Military Region is on high alert and ready to deal with external enemies.

At this moment, hundreds of kilometers away in eastern Iran, on the Iranian plateau, near Teyebat.

It is no longer as steep as the mountains of the Pamirs, between several mountains, there are large flats, in which vehicles drive normally, and now, military vehicles next to each other, walking in the mountain clearing, although they do not have any signs, but those who are familiar with it know at a glance that it is the logistics convoy of the Soviets.

Sure enough, the Soviets! I really didn't expect that the Soviets would cooperate with the Iranians! On the top of a hill, looking at the convoy with a telescope, Osama's eyes were full of anger.

The most intolerable thing for Osama is betrayal, and now, the Iranians will betray themselves!

"Captain, shall we do it?" Osama's side, a soldier asked, as the most determined Afghan fighters, they would not hesitate to attack in the face of these Soviet convoys.

Do it! Of course, it's going to be done! It's just that... The mountains here are not as continuous as in Afghanistan, and it is easy for oneself to attack, but it is not convenient to retreat, so they rashly attack without accurately grasping the terrain here. It is not wise and, according to His Excellency Mahmad, it is likely that this is an agreement between the commander of the eastern Iranian garrison and the Soviets, which the Iranian top brass does not know.

The most appropriate thing for oneself is not to attack here. Rather, go to Tehran! Meet their spiritual leaders! Convey your own strong opposition!

Even if it is instructed by the other party's high-level management, at this time, you should weigh the pros and cons, after all, you are the one who can really help them! Those tomcats have spare parts, it is enough to choke their dead holes.

Moreover, according to the arrangement given to him by His Excellency Mhammad, this is still an opportunity to trap the Soviets, a great opportunity!

"The troops stay here and wait for my instructions." Osama said. As long as you take a few people with you, you can go to Tehran, and if the Iranians really have a tendon, then even if you can't come back, you can let the troops stay here and constantly harass the transport troops of the Soviets.

Several horses gallop through eastern Iran towards Tehran, the capital of Iran.

The dark clouds of war continue to loom over the entire Pamirs. The eyes of the whole world are focused on this.

After a few days of silence. The air battle finally broke out.

"The target is divided into two batches, with a height of eight thousand, a speed of 0.8, and an interval of fifty, two planes in each batch, and is flying towards my border." E-2 AWACS. Early warning personnel reported.

Every daytime, the E-2 takes off to monitor the skies over Afghanistan, and with a detection range of more than 400 kilometers, the E-2 AWACS aircraft easily finds the opponent's target.

Next to the AWACS. The EC-130H electronic jammers flew along, ready to interfere with the enemy, and to their left and right, two Tomcat fighters were escorting.

Two batches of two planes each, a two-plane formation commonly used by the Soviets, are now flying high above the border and are likely to violate Pakistan's airspace.

"Take off four Tomcat fighters at once and go to intercept them." Arslan said.

A red flare flew into the sky, and seeing the signal to take off, the pilots who hurriedly boarded the plane made preparations in an orderly manner, the engines ignited, and the fighter began to glide on the runway, and soon took off from the runway.

"Attention, the other party's four targets, as long as they find that they are intruding into our airspace, they will immediately launch the Immortal Bird missile!" Hussein said over the radio.

"Roger." The response of the pilots of the other three warplanes was heard in the headset, and one of them had a strange voice, it was none other than Colonel Glitter, an American in a Pakistan Air Force flight suit.

The pilot of this fighter plane was temporarily ill, and as representatives of the US Navy who came to watch, they were all tempted, and Glitter volunteered to be a temporary replacement, which was only a few hours, and it turned out that it was during these few hours that the Soviets took action.

The four Tomcats quickly climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters and flew towards the direction of the boundary line, and at the same time, the two batches of targets on the opposite side were also rapidly approaching.

The AWG-9 radar began to scan the opposite direction, the sky was flooded with radio waves, and at the same time, the Immortal Bird missile under the belly of the aircraft began to warm up.

Although the Tomcat fighter can carry up to six undead birds, this will seriously affect the maneuver of the Tomcat fighter, which is a half-ton guy, and six is three tons.

In the past, because the number of Tomcat fighters was not enough, they had to be fully armed and carry six, but now, due to the increase in the number of fighters, each Tomcat fighter only has two undead birds under the belly, and the rest of the positions are mounted with medium-range Sparrow missiles and short-range AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles.

Four targets, your own side is also four fighters, only one-on-one interception is required, and this success rate is also the highest.

The other party must be coming towards their own airspace! They're here to challenge! Hussein in the sky, calmly making judgments.

"One hundred and sixteen miles away, about to enter our airspace." The sound of an AWACS aircraft continued to be heard in the headphones.

"Prepare to lock, launch the immortal birds!" Hussein said that with the flight speed of both sides, in the process of pre-launch preparation, each side will enter the absolute effective range of the 100-kilometer immortal bird.

"Understood." With the answer, the radar officer in the aft compartment began to mobilize the radar, preparing to enter the locking procedure.

Attack the first two targets in front, and when the missile turns to active guidance, the two targets behind it also happen to be within your own range and can continue to attack.

"It's locked." Said the radar officer.

"Launch the missile." Hussein said.

A flash of fire came out from the belly of the two Tomcat fighters, and the two immortal birds, dragging tongues of fire, flew to the front.

"Awesome!" Gretel's words came over the radio, and although he was a naval colonel, he had only hit a target once with the AIM-9 and had never fired an immortal bird in actual combat.

The US Navy has also rarely fought, the Immortal Bird missiles are too expensive, not a war, they are simply reluctant to use them.

It was a man, all of whom longed for this feeling, and he was suddenly very excited to watch a missile fly out from under his belly.

The radar operator in the aft compartment is still operating non-stop, and his work is very critical in the process of semi-active guidance.

Suddenly, the shining point of light suddenly became four, and then disappeared from the screen.

Worst! The other party is flying in dense formation!

"Attention hunters, the first two targets are two four-plane formations, and now, they have gotten rid of the lock!" The headset came the news of the AWACS nervousness.

Four MiG-29s, flying in the sky, the distance between them and each other, front and rear, only one meter, so that on each other's radar screens, that is a point of light.

Their radar was not turned on, they maintained radio silence, and they moved forward completely on the information transmitted by the MiG-31 in the back through the guò number of Jù chains.

The two light points in front are two four-plane formations, and the two light spots in the back are two real MiG-31s, at this time, the MiG-31 is using the phased array radar in front to scan the airspace in front.

In terms of mobile combat capability, the MiG-31 may not be qualified, but in terms of command ability, the MiG-31 is also very powerful, and it is equivalent to a small airborne early warning aircraft.

After receiving the news that the other side had launched missiles, the four MiG-29s immediately ended their formation flights, with two turning left and two turning right.

The engine turned on the afterburner, and the two engines in the tail were working at super intensity, emitting black smoke, as if it were on fire, pulling out four graceful arcs.

The Tomcat uses pulse-Doppler radar, which eliminates clutter according to the Doppler principle, and when the target flies to the side, it is filtered out as clutter, that is, it gets rid of the lock.

Four MiG-29s, easily getting rid of the locks of the other side, turned over and continued to fly forward quickly.

Compared with pulse-Doppler radar, phased array radar has obvious advantages, no matter what kind of maneuver the target does, it will not be affected.

Their mastery of the airspace of the front hemisphere is in no way worse than that of the E-2 AWACS.

Seeing that the two missiles became uncontrolled rockets, and the two targets in front suddenly became eight, Hussein was still very calm: "Divide into two squads, prepare to volley, use sparrow bullets!" ”

The Tomcat fighter carries three kinds of missiles in the distance, in the long range, with the Immortal Bird missile, it can attack targets more than 100 kilometers, and in the medium range, with the Sparrow AIM-7F missile, within the visual range, it is the AIM-9L combat bomb.

In the early days, the performance of the medium-range Sparrow missiles was very poor, and the hit rate was only 10 percent, so that the pilots would shoot all the Sparrow missiles in one go, expecting the blind cat to hit the dead mouse.

When the AIM-7F was developed, the performance of the Sparrow missile was stabilized, although the number of Jù in the target shooting process was very good, but what the actual performance was, I still looked forward to the specific air combat.

Two Tomcats form a squad to meet the four MiG-29 fighters flying on the opposite side, and the first thing you need to do is attack them at medium range!

"The target is locked."

"Launch."

At a distance of thirty kilometers, each Tomcat fighter fired a Sparrow missile. (To be continued......)
