Chapter 148: The bombing of the MiG-25

Go back to Pakistan now! Mhammad left Hussein and others, who were still training, and returned to Pakistan with his visiting group, as well as two more people, Lilith and Arslan.

As soon as they returned to the military region, Mhammad and Arslan came to the headquarters and met the base commander Mushaaf, who was full of worries.

"Report, Chief of Staff Mhammad has returned to his life."

"Report, the new commander of the air base, Arslan, has come to return to his life." Old Arslan looked at Musha'f in front of him and said excitedly.

In the third Indo-Pakistani war, the two still met, although things are not people, but now, the old Arslan is still back, back to the motherland, his heart is full of excitement.

"Colonel Arslan, welcome home." "We should have given you a welcome party, but now that the military situation is urgent, we have to deal with the emergency first," Musha'f said. ”

"What happened?" Mhammad asked.

"The Soviets used MiG-25 fighters and bombed our targets." "Afghan refugee camps, the Wakhan corridor, arms storage sites, are attacked by them every day," Musha'f said. ”

MiG-25! Hearing this, Mhammad also frowned suddenly.

When the American SR-71 reconnaissance plane began to soar in the sky, the Soviets suddenly discovered that there was no fighter in their arsenal that could intercept such a fighter with a speed of more than Mach three.

As a result, under the auspices of Mikoyan, the MiG-25 fighter was quickly developed, and in order to overcome the huge heat generated in high-speed flight, the entire fighter used a large amount of stainless steel.

Twin hairs and double vertical tails, huge rectangular air intakes. This fighter already has the basic appearance of the heavy fighter of later generations, and, when accelerated to the extreme, it can exceed Mach 3 speeds.

After the MiG-25 was manufactured, it was found that in addition to the advantages of high altitude and high speed, the body of the heavy steel guide was too heavy. This aircraft is not suitable for air combat, therefore, most of the MiG-25 is MiG-25R, that is, the reconnaissance type. The MiG-25P interceptor type, and later, on the basis of the MiG-25R, the reconnaissance/bombing type of the MiG-25RB was derived, when flying from high altitude and high speed, no weapon can stop the flight of this aircraft, it is like entering a no-man's land.

"Today is the third day of the air strike." "These warplanes continue to violate our airspace," Musha'af said. Islamabad commands us to knock it down by any means! ”

This is a death order, although this order is a very difficult task for the Peshawar Military Region on the front, and they must also carry it out, so Mhammad and the old Arslan. It was urgently transferred back.

"We don't have any fighter planes that can rise to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters." Old Arslan knew how serious the situation was, and he calmly analyzed: "The ceiling of the Jian-6 is 18,000 meters. The ceiling of the F-16 is also less than 18,000 meters, at that altitude, at that speed, we have no other choice, unless..."

Although the elder Arslan has been out of the army for more than a dozen years. He still knows all about these equipment, and the old J-6 has a limited promotion limit, although it is claimed to be 18,000, but. Above 16,000, the efficiency of the rudder surface has dropped sharply, and at this altitude, it will enter the tailspin at any time due to stalling. In fact, its prototype, the MiG-19, almost never appeared in the air at a height of more than 15,000.

And the F-16, which is about to be equipped with Pakistani fighters, is a low-end fighter that comes from the United States as a match for the F-15, with a ceiling of 18,000 and good maneuverability. But it is still too difficult to climb above 20,000 meters.

As for the Mirage 3, the performance is very poor and it does not have the conditions for interception at all.

"Unless the F-14 fighter enters service!" Old Arslan didn't finish speaking, and Mhammad took over the conversation: "We can snipe the MiG-25 by relying on the immortal bird missiles on the Tomcat fighters!" ”

Ordinary air-to-air missiles can't even catch up with the MiG-25 in extreme speed, and only the Immortal Bird missile, flying at a speed of more than Mach 4, can completely hit the MiG-25, and the altitude is also enough.

However, it takes time to run in the equipment, not only a skilled pilot, but also a fully skilled radar operator in the rear cabin.

"It will take at least a month for our Tomcat fighters to complete the operational deployment, which is already the fastest." Old Arslan said.

The modification of fighters generally takes more than a year, and now it is less than a month, plus one month, two months is already the fastest speed.

"Then we're going to watch the Soviets' hinds flaunt their mighty over our heads?" Musha'f said: "We can't wait that long for a month, we have to find a way to get their plane down!" ”

"I have an idea." "Even if you can't shoot down the Soviets' planes, you can temporarily scare them back and make them afraid to fly across the border again," Mhammad said. ”

"What's the idea?" Musha'f asked.

"Head on the head!" Mhammad said firmly.

The Free Afghan Army has developed into a formidable force that constantly harasses Soviet troops stationed in northern Afghanistan, especially when important lifelines are cut off in the Panjshir region, and the Soviets are furious.

In order to fight the Free Afghan Army, it is necessary to cut off their lifeblood, that is, to strike at Pakistan, which supports them, but also to limit the scale of the war, if there is a large-scale war with Pakistan, the consequences will not even be borne by the Soviet Union, after all, the main battlefield of the Soviet Union is still in Europe.

In this case, the Soviet Union could not send ground troops, but only used the air force to bomb those areas that supported Afghanistan, such as refugee camps, such as ammunition storage points.

When the low-altitude flight was constantly intercepted by the Pakistani side, the Soviet Union changed its tactics and used the magic weapon of high altitude and high speed, the MiG-25 fighter!

Until now, no fighter has been able to rise to a height of more than 20,000 meters, let alone reach a speed of more than Mach 2, which is the magic weapon of the Soviets.

Because the accuracy of the high-altitude and high-speed guided bomb has been greatly reduced, the Soviets did not hesitate to re-improve the MiG-25, so that it has the ability to throw laser-guided bombs, and at the same time, the laser emission source is on the ground, and the KGB agents are holding and aiming at the target, so that the plane can retreat calmly as long as the bomb is dropped, and the guidance of the ground personnel makes the bomb hit with high accuracy, and the Afghan Islamic Jihadi Union died in the laser-guided bomb of the Soviets.

You don't need to worry about being discovered, you just need to fly high in the air, especially when you fly to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, you have a feeling of overlooking the earth. In particular, this is the ozone layer of the stratosphere, and you can see the scene of outer space, which is somewhat similar to that of astronauts.

When piloting such a fighter, my heart is full of excitement and excitement.

Berilovich sat in the cockpit, the goggles of the helmet had been lowered, and the whole helmet was fully encircled, somewhat similar to a spacesuit, which was also prepared for parachuting at a height of more than 20,000 meters in case of failure.

By the time he was at the base in Turkmenistan, his plane had risen to 15,000 meters, flew over Afghanistan, and was now about to enter Pakistan to bomb those hateful Afghans!

There are so many scruples above! It is time to use high-powered weapons to bomb Peshawar and other places thoroughly, so that the Pakistanis know the fate of opposing the great Soviet Union!

Berilovich turned his gaze back to the inside of the plane, and at the same time, the radar officer of the rear base heard the announcement from the headset: "Attention, two warplanes have taken off from the Peshawar base in Pakistan and have risen to a safe altitude. ”

"Understood." Berillovich replied as he slowly pulled the lever, because of the bombs he carried, the maneuverability of this fighter had been greatly reduced, and he could only do some simple movements, and even climb carefully.

The moment he was about to enter the sky over Pakistan, he turned on the afterburner.

The two R-15B-300 engines in the tail burst out with huge thrust, and the hot flames in the tail continued to erupt, pushing the fighter to accelerate, accelerate!

Then, with a slight tremor of the fuselage, it has easily broken through the sound barrier and continues to accelerate.

Every part of the fuselage is heated by friction with the air, especially the nose, the temperature has risen to more than 100 degrees, in this case, the aluminum alloy has begun to soften. And when it accelerates to Mach 3, the temperature of the nose will rise to 300 degrees.

Therefore, it uses a large number of stainless steels, which can only maintain good strength at this temperature.

At the same time, as the speed increases, the cockpit begins to get hotter and hotter.

The temperature of frictional heat is also transmitted to the cockpit, and if you beat an egg on the glass in front of you, it will be baked in an instant, and the cockpit will become an oven, in order to help the cockpit dissipate heat, in addition to air cooling, the flow of fuel is used to take away the heat, and even then, the pilot must wear gloves to work.

When set on course, all Berillovich needed was to wait, and in a minute, he could throw the bomb and fly back with a swagger.

No one will be able to intercept the MiG-25, and even in front of the US Air Force, the MiG-25 is also free to fly!

"Attention, prepare to jump and climb to a height of 20,000 meters!" At Peshawar Air Base, old Arslan with a microphone calmly commanded.

"Understood." A clear answer came from the radio, and an echo was heard in the sky, and the two silver fighters began to continue to climb. (To be continued......)
