Under the wings of the 86_86072a-7 attack aircraft, there are two triple-mounted pylons, each with three Maverick missiles hanging on them, and in order to avoid interference, the extra pylon in the middle has been removed.

In this way, one attack aircraft, it is possible to carry twelve Maverick missiles.

The volume of the Maverick missile is not large, the length of the missile is 2.64 meters, which is shorter than the short-range air-to-air missile, the body of the missile is cylindrical, the four triangular wings and rudder are X-shaped, the warhead is slightly rounded, the power plant is a dual-thrust single-stage solid rocket engine, the range is 24 kilometers, and the cruising speed is slightly more than the speed of sound.

This is a tactical air-to-ground missile developed by the United States in the 60s, and the warhead is an armor-piercing blasting and anti-personnel type, which is mainly used to attack ground and surface targets such as tanks, armored vehicles, missile launch sites, artillery positions, and ships at sea.

This missile has three guidance methods, television guidance, laser guidance and infrared thermal imaging guidance, of which television guidance can only be used during the day, laser guidance when the battlefield is thick smoke, the laser attenuation is very powerful, and infrared imaging guidance can be used around the clock, especially at night.

The United States shipped all the Maverick missiles guided by television and laser, and the most advanced infrared imaging guidance, which was the home weapon of the United States, and the cost was the highest, and none of them were shipped.

Now, the weather is clear, and it is a good opportunity to attack.

Twenty A-7 attack aircraft, methodically preparing for departure, this attack aircraft is not technologically advanced, but has a good attendance. After equipping the Pakistan Air Force, there was no single drop in the chain, and every time it was able to participate in the battle with full personnel.

When ready, the A-7 attack aircraft began to glide on the runway, due to the light size of the Maverick missile. The fighter plane only skied for 300 meters before it was already pulled up.

One attack plane after another took off, formed formation, and flew towards the south.

Four Tomcat fighters also took off afterwards and will escort the attack aircraft formation this time, in the event that the Indian Air Force, which is not long-sighted, comes to cause trouble. From a hundred kilometers away, it is possible to shoot them with immortal bird missiles.

The engine was roaring, and Squadron Leader Hanif glanced at the map strapped to his lap, and headed for the desert area, where there was no end in sight. Finding the troops of the Indians requires precise navigation.

Since AWACS aircraft need to continue patrolling the Kashmir region, they are completely on their own for this attack.

Damn the Indians, they actually want to launch a surprise attack on the southern front! This is absolutely intolerable to Pakistan! Hanif looked at the Maverick missiles hanging on the pylons, full of confidence.

"Attention, the front is about to enter the desert area, five hundred at a height." Hanif said. In order to avoid being detected by the ground-based radars of the Indians, they need to fly at ultra-low altitudes, before entering Indian airspace. You have to drop in height.

The A-7 is a nimble aircraft, and the low-altitude performance of ground attack aircraft has always been very good, and they fly quickly at an altitude of only 500 meters from the desert.

India, a hundred kilometers south of Bourg, desert terrain.

Everywhere there is an endless desert. As the sun rises, the temperature in the desert rises rapidly. Now it's more than forty degrees.

The Indian GIs covered themselves tightly and leaned against the shade next to the tanks. Some people simply got under the tank and lay on the sand and squinted.

They were the first troops to arrive here, and the order of this mission was vague from above, and they started talking about exercises, but in the case of exercises, the training shells in the tanks were enough, so why are they still here, waiting for the transport team to deliver live ammunition?

In the Indian army, the most equipped is this T-55 tank, which is a standard tank from the Soviet Union, which has been in service with the Indian army for more than ten years, this tank has not adapted to the desert for improvement, most of the Soviet Union is a cold climate, the tank is very warm, and there is no air conditioning.

And in the desert, such an iron lump in the tank, there are at least sixty degrees inside! None of the tank crews wanted to stay in the tank.

They drank water from the military kettle and waited here for a day, what is the situation?

At this moment, the person lying on the ground felt the shaking of the ground and the shaking of the sand grains.

What's going on? A tank soldier tried to get up, but forgot that he was lying under the tank, and his head hit the tank chassis hard, and blood immediately flowed.

"What's going on?" The commander of the tank division was in a tent that had been erected, and he was holding his tank hat as a fan, fanning the wind constantly, and he also felt the tremor of the ground, and immediately ran out of the tent.

The sand outside, hot from the sun, and it was very uncomfortable to step on the sand barefoot, and the division commander climbed on top of a tank, picked up a telescope, and looked into the distance.

The dust was rolling, it was a newly arrived tank unit!

The high barrels, the small flags fluttering on the antennas, and the majestic posture are so vast at first glance.

“t-72！” The division commander spat and foamed: "Grandma, when will the tank troops for Lao Tzu be equipped with such tanks!" ”

T-72, a new tank developed by the Soviet Union in 67, began mass production in 74, officially debuted in 77, and was introduced by India in the early 80s, equipped with an independent armored brigade.

This tank has a 125 mm caliber gun that can tear through the main armor of all tanks! Six pairs of load-bearing wheels, an 800-horsepower engine, and air conditioning.

This air conditioner is the most important thing, watching those tanks galloping in the desert, they don't even need to open the lid of the tank, you know that they are enjoying it inside, the tank division commander is depressed, and his eyes are full of envy.

In order to get this batch of tanks, he almost got involved with the people in the equipment department, but unfortunately, this batch of tanks, still without his share, was taken by this independent armored brigade.

Now, watching this unit galloping across the desert, I think of my own march, the tank is so hot that I have to open the hatch, but if I drive fast, the sand will splash into the tank, and it will be very uncomfortable.

"Grandma's, may you all have daughters!" The division commander scolded.

"Buzz, buzz." At this moment, a roar sounded in the distance, as if it was building momentum for him.

In India, to give birth to a daughter, you need a lot of dowry, and the most scolding word is to give birth to a daughter.

Now, hearing the roar in the distance, the division commander stood proudly on top of the tank and assumed a posture of victory, even God was talking for himself.

Wait, it doesn't seem right, why does this roar keep going?

"Airplanes! There's a plane coming! An Indian soldier was the first to spot an ultra-low-flying plane, and he waved at it.

Here, the plane must be its own, this exercise is really huge, and before it even started, the plane came.

"Attention, take out those new tanks first!" In the cockpit, Hanif looked at the tanks in the distance, those tanks were very special, definitely not the T-55 of the Indians, but the latest model!

How can you see it? At such a distance, it is impossible to tell the difference. Of course, it's very simple, just look at the other side's tanks galloping in the desert, the cross-country speed exceeds fifty, which can only be done by the T-72, the engine power of the T-55 is insufficient, and when it comes to the desert, it will drop even more, and those tanks will not be able to stand it if the speed exceeds thirty.

I didn't expect to meet the most advanced model of the Indians! Hanif pushes the lever and flies that way, and at the same time, a Maverick missile is activated, and the TV camera is deflected downward, firmly locking on to a tank.

The T-72 tank unit continued to advance in the desert, and the commander of the tank brigade was in a tank, and as the tank was bustling up and down, his scope looked at the tank division commander opposite, and he put on such a posture to pretend to be forced. Look, this is the real tank, your worn-out T-55s, what are you going to show? Let's go back to the steel mill and return to the furnace.

He and the person opposite were classmates at the Armored Forces Academy, and the other party was promoted to division commander, and he was only a brigade commander, and he had never had a chance to suppress the other party.

No one noticed anything special about the planes in the sky, it was two tank units meeting divisions, and besides, the commander of the armored brigade knew their task, and in two hours, after the hottest hours of the afternoon, the offensive would begin.

The fighter plane in the sky, the fire flashed under the wing, and a Maverick missile, dragging a tongue of fire, flew out below.

"Cool!" A tank crew shouted that the fighter fired a missile, and it was hard to see.

However, the next moment, he reacted: "Don't! ”

That missile, flew to the tank on the opposite side!

Hanif looked at the multi-functional monitor in his cockpit, the images on which were synchronized, the reticles firmly pressed against a moving tank.

The seeker in front of the calf, the camera is closely tracking each other, and in such a sunny weather, it is too easy to lock onto the vehicle on the ground.

Now the distance is ten kilometers, and the Maverick only needs a few tens of seconds to hit the target.

Flying down from a height, the armor-piercing blasting warhead of the Maverick missile, piercing precisely into the top of the turret of the T-72.

The front armor of the tank is the thickest, the second in the back, and the thinnest, that is, the armor at the top, the Maverick missile easily tore through the top of the turret and got into the gondola of the turret, and then, boom! There was an explosion.

The crew of the tank was hit by countless fragments in an instant, even if there were no exploding fragments, the air wave was enough to kill them all, and then, the heat flow detonated the dispensing ammunition that circled in the turret, and they were all loaded with live ammunition.

"Boom!" In the second explosion, the entire tank exploded violently, and in the explosion, the turret was blown up from the seat into the sky, as if a UFO was taking off. (To be continued).
