Chapter 192: No-Fly Zone

No Fly Zone! What the hell is this? Is there any reason to carve out an airspace above your own head and prevent yourself from flying?

"In the eastern part of our country, in the Kashmir region, the Indian army has frequently crossed the border and invaded our territory, and now it has occupied more than a dozen of our posts. Otherwise, our army will strike back harshly! At the same time, in order to control air pollution, China will conduct a one-year comprehensive investigation operation over Kashmir to determine the air quality in the airspace, therefore, any flying objects are prohibited from flying, including civil airliners, if they still fly, they will be shot down as UFOs. "Pakistani announcements were constantly playing on the radio.

"Smack," turned off the radio, and the commander of Srinagar Air Force Base, Dronavali Reddy, had a gloomy look on his face, what does this mean? That's where the challenge comes! The sky over Kashmir is the range of activities of his air force here, and now, it has been drawn as a no-fly zone by the other side!

"Knock, knock." Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Dronavali said.

The door was pushed open, and more than a dozen pilots wearing flight gear, carrying flight helmets, stood in front of him: "Commander, why did our flight training stop today?" ”

They were all about to get on the plane, the cockpit cover was closed, the engines were ignited, and just as they were about to slide out of the runway, the command from the tower came from the headset, stop flying, turn off the car, and go back to the cave.

Getting off the plane, they were very angry and went straight to the office of the commander of the base.

"The Pakistani side declares the entire Kashmir region a no-fly zone." Dronavali said: "In order to protect your safety, I ordered a temporary suspension of flight training. ”

"What?" Squadron Leader Putapa said: "This is our sky, and they have set up a no-fly zone. If you don't let us fly, we won't fly? ”

"Yes, we are not afraid of the Pakistanis at all, let's go up and fight them!"

"The Pakistan Air Force is no longer the original Air Force. They are equipped with forty F-16 fighters and eighty F-14 fighters, especially F-14, which is the main carrier-based fighter of the US Navy, which can launch immortal bird missiles with a range of more than 100 kilometers. ”

"Commander. Why are you so afraid of death! Putapa said, "How can we be afraid of Pakistanis! Let's go up and fight the Pakistanis! What immortal bird missiles, we are full of mountains here, even if they shoot missiles, as long as we dive and enter the mountains, the immortal bird missiles can still burrow into the mountains to chase us? These missiles are just controllable rockets! You look at the previous examples. The Soviets were all shot at high altitudes, and. We can take advantage of the mountainous area to engage the enemy in concealment, and our four fighters will surround it and kill the Pakistani Tomcat fighters! Turn their tockcats into dead cats! ”

There are mountains everywhere, only the valleys in the middle. They have been flying here all year round, and they have long been familiar with the surrounding terrain, and it is completely possible to set traps and hunt Pakistani Tomcat fighters through guò.

Dronavali hesitated. The meaning of the Air Force Command is to wait for the arrival of the MiG-23MF and MiG-29.

In the past, the Indian Air Force had a complete advantage over the Pakistani Air Force, and Pakistan's J-6s, that is, the MiG-19, were only equipped with a large number of MiG-21 fleets.

In 1963, the Soviet Union began to supply MiG-21s to India, and so far, they have received a total of 830 aircraft, and the most proud of them is that 580 of them are manufactured in India itself, and India has 20 squadrons of MiG-21s in service at the same time.

What do Pakistanis have? Fighters are bought! And India, which has long been building fighters! India is a big country in South Asia!

Now, at Srinagar Air Base, the main force is three squadrons of MiG-21 fighters.

The MiG-21 has an advantage over the MiG-19, but it is not good for the F-16, so a few years ago, when Pakistan bought 40 F-16 fighters from the United States, India began to discuss with the Soviet Union at the same time, requesting the introduction of new fighters, and the Soviet Union immediately agreed and sold the MiG-23 to India.

The transaction is not fast, there is no fighting on the Eastern Front anyway, this year, three MiG-23 squadrons have only completed the modification and have combat capability, but unfortunately they are all MiG-23bn, it is a fighter-bombing model, the MiG-23MF of air superiority, or in the aircraft factories of the Soviets.

And in the blink of an eye, the Pakistani Air Force is so powerful, the MiG-23 has just been equipped with the Indian Air Force, it is already outdated, and they need more advanced fighters.

However, the development of fighters by the Soviets was originally lagging behind that of the United States, and the MiG-29 had just been equipped with the Soviet army, and if it wanted to be exported to India, it would have to wait a few years.

The Indian attack, of course, was also a test of the reaction of the Pakistanis, and at the same time as a precursor to a large-scale offensive, and now, having just taken the first step, it was challenged by the Pakistani side, which did not fight on the ground, but in the sky, and gave them a circle.

Bullshit air pollution, in the eighties, no one took air pollution seriously.

Now, the bullying has come to your head, do you still have to wait?

Looking at the pilot in front of him, Dronavali gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, set a trap and hunt Pakistan's Tomcat fighters!" ”

The pilots rushed away, which was exactly what they wanted, and before they came, they had already made a plan of action.

Four lightweight MiG-21s, turning on the afterburner, gliding on the runway and taking off in formation at the same time, such a short distance that only the best Indian Air Force can do!

MiG-21, a single-seat, single-engine supersonic light fighter developed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau in the early 50s. Soviet pilots gave it the nickname "Triangle", while NATO called it the Fish's Nest.

From the outside, this plane looks like a pencil with two delta wing wings and a tail. There is nothing special in the aerodynamic layout, in actual use, in addition to the high speed, good deceleration performance, its maneuverability is not good, due to the nose air intake, the air inlet occupies the valuable nose space. It is impossible to install high-performance radar, the electronics are too simple, the weapon payload capacity is too small, and because it is a fuel-guzzling turbojet engine, the fuel in the aircraft is limited, and the navigation range is too short, and the combat capability of this aircraft is limited.

In the old Eastern countries, due to the lack of technology, there has been continuous imitation and improvement. It became a huge J-7 family, and when it was improved to the J-7E with a double delta airfoil and a leading edge maneuvering flap, the maneuverability was reborn.

And now the Indians use most of them are manufactured or overhauled by their own Stan Aviation Co., Ltd., the accident rate is extremely high, in later generations, until retirement, a total of nearly 500 MiG-21s fell. It's a flying coffin in the truest sense of the word.

When four MiG-21s took off, one of them continued to climb higher. The other three, flying from low altitudes, burrowed into the nearby mountains.

Putapa's hand constantly manipulating the joystick, shuttling through the mountains, is the time when the pilot's skills are most tested, those Pakistani pilots. Definitely don't dare to fly like yourself in the mountains!

The high-altitude one is used as a decoy to attract Pakistani planes to attack, while the low-altitude three will suddenly pull up at the right time. Attack on Pakistani aircraft.

The four R-60 missiles under the wings show their fangs, although the fighters may not be very advanced, but they are mounted with the third-generation air-to-air missiles of the Soviet Union!

"Four targets were found, three in the low-altitude mountainous area and one at the high altitude." The E-2 AWACS aircraft hovering over Pakistan immediately sent back the report.

Relying on the long-range early warning performance, the E-2 AWACS aircraft only needs to cruise in Pakistani airspace to see every aspect of Srinagar Air Base, and when the news of the no-fly zone is announced, it takes off from Peshawar Air Base to the border line.

Two Tomcat fighters at Peshawar Air Base, escorted on the left and right. The EC-130H electronic jammer also flew aside.

When the news reached the Sagoda airbase, the four Tomcat fighters of the 18th Fighter Squadron, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately began the first attack operation.

The first stage of the no-fly zone mission is to completely block the Srinagar Air Base, as soon as you take off, it will be destroyed immediately!

The wing sweep angle has been said to the end, and the four Tomcat fighters are sprinting quickly in the sky, looking at the blue sky, the pilot of the long plane, Chris, is in a surging mood.

Indian! Arrogant Indians! From now on, you have no chance with the sky!

"Blackbird squadron, here's E-2." Clear words came from the headset: "Three minutes later, about to enter the Jammu area, the target is circling in the mountains, turn on the radar, and shoot down the high-altitude one first." At twelve o'clock, the distance is one hundred and thirteen, and the height is ten thousand. ”

"Roger." After takeoff, AWACS took over the guidance.

"Blackbird understands," Chris said, their squadron is called Blackbird Squadron, and Chris, as Squadron Leader, is codenamed Blackbird.

"Target, one hundred and three at a distance, ten thousand at a height, and an immortal bird." The radar officer in the aft compartment turned on the radar accurately and locked on to that target.

"Launch." At a distance of eighty kilometers, the fuselage shuddered, and a heavy Immortal Bird missile, dragging a tongue of fire, flew out of Chris's sight.

"Low altitude, three targets are coming, sixty miles away, are crossing the valley."

"Roger." Chris said, "035, 036, 037, dive down and kill them with a rattlesnake!" ”

"Understood." The three wingmen immediately dived and also burrowed into the mountains.

The engine in the tail roared loudly and flew through the valley as if it were dancing in the palm of the hand of death. (To be continued......)
