Since the speed of both sides is about the same, even if the MiG-29 chases, it can only keep the same distance all the time, and it cannot catch up, and if it chases, it may just fall into the ambush of the other side.

When the fleet of the MiG-29 was thinking about whether it was necessary to catch up, new news came from the MiG-31, in the rear, a hundred kilometers away, a four-plane formation was rapidly approaching!

In just a few minutes, three groups of enemy planes came to harass them one after another, and there is definitely a problem here! The pilot of the MiG-29 is hesitating to turn around and chase after him, and if he does, maybe the same as last time, the other side will immediately fly away.

At this moment, the MiG-31 issued a warning, and the other side fired a missile!

The last batch of fighters is the main attack! In the face of the surprise attack of the Pakistani Air Force, the MiG-29 fleet did not panic, they began to turn sideways, and then wiped out their own signals in the echo.

The twin vertical tails of the MiG-29 stirred the air current, and the body turned deftly ninety degrees, and according to the experience of the last time, they could already shake off the opponent's missiles.

However, the news from the MiG-31 surprised them even more, those missiles are still flying!

The last two batches were F-16, and this third batch is four genuine F-14 Tomcat fighters!

Rick pilots the fighter plane, trying out the new tactics he has come up with, and when the opponent starts to turn, he follows the steering, never letting the opponent's speed perpendicular to his nose, so that he can always lock on to the opponent!

Seeing that there was still a signal on the screen, the radar officer in the rear cabin was in high spirits and continued to track them until the active radar began to work!

As the minutes ticked by, the Tu-16 electronic jammer had already begun to release interference, but alas. The anti-jamming ability of the immortal bird is very strong, and the Tu-16 electronic jammer, which does not dare to get too close to the battlefield, does not play any role.

Some MiG-29s began to climb vertically, and some began to dive, in a vain attempt to shake off the pursuing immortal bird missiles, but alas. Only one person succeeded.

Four Immortal Bird missiles, killed three MiG-29s, and when the heavy warhead exploded, the light MiG-29 had no chance of surviving at all.

The remaining five MiG-29s are all watching in amazement as their opponents approach, and this time, they are no longer confident in the upcoming close-quarters fight, because their fighters are running out of fuel!

Inside the USSR. There were two main fighter development institutions, Mikoyan mainly designed fighters, and Sukhoi mainly designed interceptors, and in the Soviet combat concept, Mikoyan's fighters were mainly used at front-line airfields, therefore, the range would not be too far, and. To increase the thrust-to-weight ratio, two engines were used. In order to increase maneuverability, the fuel load factor was reduced, and in order to adapt to the field front-line airfield, auxiliary air intakes were used, which also occupied space in the fuel tanks, which made the MiG-29 have a very small range. Without auxiliary fuel tanks, the maximum range is only 1,500 kilometers, and the combat radius of the high and high return is only 500 kilometers. Three batches of targets flying from different directions allowed the MiG-29 to accelerate several times to catch up, and as soon as the afterburner was turned on, fuel consumption increased sharply.

Because of its short legs, the MiG-29 was once ridiculed by the Americans as an airport defender.

In contrast, the Su-27 has a large fuel load coefficient in the aircraft, and it is almost impossible to see the Su-27 fighter with auxiliary fuel tanks on the mission.

It was on the basis of this shortcoming of the MiG-29 that Mhammad formulated the tactics just now, and finally, in the process of dodging the immortal birds, the MiG-29 made a highly mobile maneuver, which further consumed valuable fuel.

Now, they have just enough fuel left to return to Bagram Air Base.

Keep fighting? Don't have enough fuel, go home? What should I do if I am caught up and attacked by those enemy planes, and the consequences are also tragic?

"I'm running out of fuel and have to go back." Said the pilot of the long plane of the MiG-29.

At this time, the two MiG-31s, which were acting as AWACS aircraft in the back, flew up and began to fight the Tomcat fighters with the R33 missiles they carried, in order to gain time for the retreat of the MiG-29 fleet.

They originally wanted to use the advantage of good maneuverability to melee with the Tomcat fighter like last time, and use the R73 with a large off-axis launch ability with a helmet sight to shoot down the invincible Tomcat fighter, but unfortunately, before they got close enough to fight at close range, they had already exhausted their fuel and walked away.

As a heavy interceptor, the MiG-31 has an obvious advantage at this time, and its phased array radar, which is not afraid of interference, guides the R33 missile and flies towards the Tomcat fleet.

This time, the R33 missile has been re-improved, it can not only be semi-actively guided, but also turn to attack the interference source when the interference source is discovered, and it can successfully transform this batch of missiles in a short time, it can only be said that the pennant engineers are too good.

Because the MiG-31 was already in the rear, and in order to expel the Tomcat fleet, covering the withdrawal of their own MiG-29 fleet, it was almost a missile launched at the maximum range of the R33 missile, so after the Tomcat fighter retreated, those R33 missiles could not reach.

The two sides have ceased contact and returned to their respective airspace.

The MiG-29 fleet is at an altitude of eight thousand meters, returning at the most economical speed, and the pilots are speechless in their hearts, if there is still fuel, they can give it a go, but now, because the fuel is running out and withdrawing from the battle, this is simply a kind of irony!

They didn't know that in the mountains below, four F-16 fighters were flying fast in the valley, although this was already considered Afghan airspace, but because it was in the mountains, the Afghan air defense radar did not find anything.

"067, the target has leaped above you, ready to attack!" The headset came an AWACS announcement.

"Roger." Kadri said over the radio: "The hunt fulcrum begins!" ”

Turn on the afterburner, pull the lever back, and the F110 engine in the tail spews flames, pushing the fighter to climb rapidly.

Hunt the fulcrum!

In the return state, and again into the airspace of Afghanistan, the four MiG-29s were very poor in vigilance, and at the same time, due to the interference of jammers, their radio communication signal was poor.

The F-16 fighters, which suddenly climbed up from a low altitude, easily touched their backs, and at this time, they did not notice anything at all.

"Let's do it!" Kadri said, pressing the launch button, and an AIM-9L missile flew out of the wingtip pylon.

Hatak and others also fired a missile one after another, but they did not look at their own results, and after firing the missile, they continued to lower the slope, re-entered the low altitude, and returned from the mountains.

At this time, the MiG-31 has also entered the airspace of Afghanistan, the huge phased array radar in front of it, just turned off, although this thing is relatively strong, but, the huge power brings a lot of heat, it relies on hydraulic power to dissipate heat, even so, long-term work will still overwhelm it, so, after entering the airspace of Afghanistan, its radar has been turned off.

The MiG-29 fleet was still flying smoothly until there was a bang behind it, and then, on the dashboard in front of me, an alarm light flashed.

The left engine is out of order! What's going on?

The pilot turned his head back, hoping to see what was behind, but unfortunately, the MiG-29 was high and hunchbacked, which made the view from the rear very small, and the line of sight was obstructed, so it was impossible to see what was behind at all.

At the same time, explosions were heard.

"There's an attack from behind!" The long plane reacted, pulled the fighter up sharply, and turned it upside down, wanting to see the enemy plane following behind.

It's a pity that the empty sky is of all kinds, there is nothing, only three MiG-29s that have already been hit.

Of the four AIM-9L missiles, two of which hit a target, did not miss the target because they were all tail-chasing shots, and because the two engines of the MiG-29 were far away, although one engine was damaged, only the unlucky one who hit two fell, and the remaining two could barely fly.

The oil is almost exhausted, the engine, there is only one left, the pilots of the MiG-29 fleet, at this time their hearts are full of anger and frustration, this time, completely fell for the tricks of the other side!

In the past, it was only necessary to discover enemy planes and then guide one's own fighters to engage the battle, but now, in order to divert the other side, it is necessary to appear on the opponent's radar screen in batches, and the grasp of the battlefield situation and the command of each batch of fighters must be very precise.

Air combat is also an art!

Especially in the end, although they flew into the territory of Afghanistan, Mhammad still did not let them go, and a team of F-16s that passed at an ultra-low altitude hunted three planes, and his side did not lose a single one.

Glitter also admires Mhammad very much, this is a genius commander!

At Peshawar Air Base, there is a lot of joy everywhere, and the haze of the last downed fighter plane is gone.

Although it was a cross-border attack, but now, the conflict between the two sides has completely escalated, the Soviets have tried to attack the Pakistani Air Force several times, this is just a lesson for them, and the Pakistani F-16 has been re-drilled into the mountains after the attack is completed, and the Soviets have no evidence that it is a cross-border attack by the Pakistan Air Force.

Although the MiG-29 has excellent maneuverability, it still has shortcomings, short legs, poor vision, and backward electronic equipment, which are weaknesses that can be grasped.

With the constant harassment of the Soviets, Pakistan's western front became tense, and no one expected it, and at this moment, the eastern front quietly changed. (To be continued......)
