"Hubbard, 200 aviation regiment requests to take off." On the runway, Soviet pilot Vlasolovich said on the radio.

He is the commander of the 200 Aviation Regiment, and their regiment has been reequipped with the most advanced Su-27 fighters.

"You can take off." The sound of the tower came from the headphones.

Turning on the afterburner, the two AL31 engines roared, and the thrust of more than 1000 kN, the majestic force, propelled the fighter, almost like catapulting and taking off on an aircraft carrier, and the fighter quickly slid and rose into the sky.

Fly-by-wire control, the operating stick is unusually light, and it is no longer like the MiG-29, where a few dives pull up, which tires the pilot half to death, and the fighter that pulls up, skillfully turns, begins to assemble in the predetermined airspace.

In the sky over northern Afghanistan, a patrolling E-2 early warning aircraft immediately spotted the usual behavior of the Soviets, and their fighters were taking off in large numbers!

Alert, alert!

At Peshawar Air Base, sharp sirens sounded, and the pilots came out of the duty room and hurried to their fighters.

In recent days, they have been prepared, and the fighters are all loaded with missiles, filled with fuel, and are ready to meet at any time!

In the solid cave warehouse, one after another Tomcat fighters were pulled out by the tractor and assembled on the side of the runway.

Major General Hussein, although he has become the commander of Peshawar Air Base, but in this operation, he still got into the cockpit and wanted to go to the front line to meet the enemy!

The TF41 engine at the tail spewed flames, and the ground crew gave a thumbs up after checking that the tail flame was in good condition.

Brakes were released, and the Tomcat slid down the runway, four Immortal Bird missiles under the belly. The Sparrow missiles and Sidewinder missiles hanging on both sides of the wings are reflecting the sun's rays.

Take off, take off!

One after another, Tomcat fighters flew into the sky, and on another runway at the base, the E-3 early warning. The EC-130H electronic jammer also began to take off.

In this level of air combat, hundreds of fighters will gather in a narrow airspace, and only the E-3 early warning aircraft can command it, and the efficiency of transmitting messages through the guò number chain is far higher than that of voice commands.

In order to avoid the threat of the Soviet Air Force, the E-2 AWACS aircraft flying over Afghanistan and the two accompanying F-16 fighters began to return home. The E-3 early warning aircraft, which has a longer detection range, will take over from the E-2 early warning aircraft and assume the task of monitoring and commanding, and at the same time, for its own safety, it will mainly fly over Pakistan, and there will be four F-16 fighters to escort it.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

The twenty-four Tomcat fighters that took off in advance were lined up in a formation. Spanning a distance of hundreds of kilometers, it looks like a wall that is slowly advancing forward.

This is the Pakistan Air Force, at the behest of President Mahmad. Rehearsed out of the new tactic, the wall of the Tomcat!

These fighters, lined up in a row, rely on their immortal missiles, providing a hundred kilometers of defensive front!

And behind them, at a distance of fifty kilometers. It was the second formation of twenty Tomcat fighters, which still formed a wall.

During World War II, warplanes flew in the sky, biting each other's tails to attack and shoot down. Being shot down, shouting on the radio, cannon sounds, cries for help, this is the characteristic of that era, however, after entering the jet age, the radius of rotation of combat aircraft is getting larger and larger, and this kind of scene is impossible to reproduce, if there are too many planes in the sky, then, pilots often think first about how to avoid collisions.

Mobilize fighters, similar to a wall of formation to sweep all enemy air targets in the airspace ahead, this is the "Wall of Eagles" tactics, which is the first practical tactic of the United States in the Gulf War, because of the use of air superiority of the F15 "Eagle" fighters, so it is called the "Wall of Eagles", and now, Mhammad first copied these tactics, the executor is the Tomcat fighter, that is the Wall of Tomcats!

Perhaps, opposite the Tomcat will be the Mirage 2000 with a graceful triangular layout piloted by the Asan, or the MiG-29 "Fulcrum" with a graceful and agile conventional layout of the "airport wall", or even the Mirage 4000, which Dassault is proud of; or "bright-looking hypochondriasis" Su-27 "flanker"; Maybe the F14 "cats" on the other side of the sea that were the first country where the tomcats were born, or the F/A18 "big bugs...... No matter what the enemy is, the Tomcat fighters firmly proclaimed their belief: this is Pakistan's airspace, sacred and inviolable, who dares to let the horse come, "kill or bury"!

When the Tomcat fighters advanced into northern Afghanistan from the west of the Peshawar base, a large number of fighters from the Turkmenistan Military Region also entered the airspace of northern Afghanistan simultaneously.

The distance between the two sides is gradually approaching.

A noisy sound came from the headphones, and radio interference was also applied.

"Immediately activate the anti-jamming system and switch to the frequency hopping band." Hussein shouted over the radio.

He just had to give the order, and the radar officer behind him began to operate nervously.

Flat slot radar antenna, originally the beam is narrow, anti-jamming performance is very good, the AWG-9 radar was used before, almost will not be jammed, now, the use of a modified APG-71 radar, the anti-jamming performance is stronger, so, the radar officer of the rear cabin just moved a few switches, and the interference was completely eliminated.

(At the beginning, in the nineties, when the Su-27 fighter was patrolling the Taiwan Strait, it encountered interference, a snowflake on the radar, and nothing could be seen. ）

At the same time, the radio station is originally a frequency hopping station, and when interference is found, it starts to automatically jump frequency and continues to work in the band with the least interference.

Through the guò number of chains, they are constantly receiving information from early warning aircraft, and their own electronic jammers have not yet started to work at this time.

The most nervous thing was still the radar officer in the rear cabin, who began to power up the four immortal birds in turn, activate them, and enter the pre-launch work.

The wall of tomcats relies on immortal bird missiles! This wall is so hard!

At the same time, the Su-27 group on the opposite side also began to approach rapidly, and for the time being, they were not subject to radio interference, and they calmly turned on their radars, preparing to launch R-33 missiles.

The A-50 early warning aircraft in the rear still relies on voice guidance, so most of the time, it can only talk to the flight group, and then the team leader will convey it to the below.

When the distance was one hundred and fifty kilometers, the Su-27 aircraft group turned on its own radar, and the main power of the carrier aircraft was all supplied to the radar, and the Gesselin antenna in the front constantly radiated electromagnetic waves, and the airspace on the opposite side was already filled with electromagnetic waves.

Due to the heavy R-33 radar on board, which limits their ability to maneuver, they can only fly smoothly, and when the two R-33 missiles are fired, they will be more relaxed.

Now bright spots began to appear on the radar, which, thanks to the Tomcat's huge reflection area, allowed their radar to successfully intercept the target at a distance of a hundred kilometers.

Get ready to launch!

On the one hand, it is necessary to control the fighter plane, and on the other hand, it is necessary to press the switch and launch the R-33 long-range missile, which is a test for the Su-27 fighter piloted by a single person.

And on the other side, almost at the same time, the Tomcat fleet also began preparations before launch.

The AWACS aircraft assigned the target, the APG-71 radar in front of it was turned on briefly, intercepting the further number of targets, and in the sound of Fire constantly coming from the headphones, under the belly of the aircraft, there were constantly immortal bird missiles, which were launched.

On a wide offensive surface of more than 100 kilometers, 24 warplanes formed a wall, and the missiles they fired flew in front of this wall, once again forming a rain of arrows.

Each fighter has four Immortal Bird missiles, and as soon as it goes out this time, it is nearly a hundred missiles, and the surplus range of missiles is enough for them to attack the same target with two Immortal Bird shots.

The combination of the Tomcat fighter and the immortal bird constitutes a long-range volley force! Even when shooting against the R-33, they were not afraid at all, and with the advantage of active guidance in the final stage, they successfully defeated the MiG-31.

And now, they are aiming at the other side's Su-27 fleet.

Because the range of the Immortal Bird is more advantageous, after the Immortal Bird missile was launched, when the two sides approached to 80 kilometers, the Su-27 fighter on the opposite side began the same launch.

When the heavy R-33 missile disengaged, the pilots breathed a sigh of relief.

"Continue to maintain level flight and guide the missiles." Vlasolovich shouted over the radio.

Launching an air-to-air missile is not over yet, and if you want the missile to hit the target, you need the constant guidance of the carrier aircraft!

At this time, the missiles on the opposite side are also flying, and the competition is completely the courage of both sides!

The Su-27 fleet continued to fly level, relying on their radar to guide the launched missiles, and countless electromagnetic waves spread in the air.

At this moment, the Tomcat fleet suddenly changed, they turned the nose of the plane, turned in the air, and began to retreat to the rear!

The Pakistan Air Force is finally scared! Vlasolovich thought in his head that this was a good opportunity!

As soon as the other party escapes, those immortal birds that shoot will lose the guidance of the carrier radar and will become uncontrolled rockets, and their own missiles will catch up and kill the other party!

The Su-27 group continued to fly level, guiding its own missiles, and those immortal bird missiles, although they continued to fly over, were like stray bullets, and the chance of being hit by them was too small. (To be continued......)
