"Enemy aircraft have turned and have not entered our airspace, pay attention, patrol the border line and do not cross the border." The voice of the ground guide came from the headphones, and the leader of the fifteenth squadron, Kamal, breathed a sigh of relief.

J-6 has already flown to the border line, Kamal pressed the operating stick to the right, and at the same time kicked the rudder on the right, and the dexterous J-6 turned around, turned to the north, and began to patrol along the border.

Although the Soviets' planes looked like they had flown away, it was still necessary to pay attention to the fact that the Soviets might penetrate the defense at ultra-low altitudes, and Pakistan's air defense radars could not detect planes in low-lying areas in mountainous areas.

At the same time, with joy in their hearts, without a firefight, they overwhelmed the Soviet Air Force in momentum, and the Soviets flew away on their own initiative!

The Soviets flew away, and there was no large-scale air battle! When the news reached the headquarters, Musha'f finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Mhammad, who had just finished drinking a cup of milk tea, looking calm.

"Mhammad, are you so sure that the Soviets won't have a firefight with us?" Musha'f asked.

"The war is not in line with our strategy, and it is no less in line with the strategy of the Soviets." "We are worried that the Indian side is eyeing us, so why don't the Soviets worry about the West?" Mhammad said. The Soviets will not invade us on a large scale until Afghanistan is pacified. ”

Just half an hour ago, Musha'f thought that Musha'd was just a tactical commander, and he couldn't see the strategic level, and he didn't expect that Mhamad could see farther than himself!

Yes, there was a real exchange of fire with the USSR, which did not fit our own strategy, and it did not do the Soviets any good! The center of gravity of the Soviets was not Europe? After fighting the war in Afghanistan for so many years, it was always the 40th Army on the second front in Afghanistan. The elite troops on the front line in Europe have not been mobilized at all.

"Good!" Musha'af said: "This confrontation has strengthened the prestige of our Pakistani Air Force and dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Soviets. Chief of Staff, touch your light, and I will be rewarded this time. ”

If there had been an air war, perhaps Islamabad would have dealt with the matter severely, and Mhamad and Musha'f, who had taken the initiative to provoke the conflict, would have been punished, and now the matter is over. The victory of the Pakistani Air Force, and at the same time testing the bottom line of the Soviets, the Islamabad side will surely be very happy.

"Commander, our air force is too backward, relying on Jian-6 and Mirage 3 to fight the Soviets, it is a loss." Rather than be complacent about the upcoming award, Mhammad was saddened, not at all as calm as he had just looked.

The sixth master is already outdated. The nose of the fuselage is intake, and there is not even a radar. Although there can still be some advantages in close-range combat, in medium-range warfare, it is completely at a disadvantage, and in later generations of air combat, medium-range warfare is becoming more and more important, and Pakistan's air force is in equipment. has been at a disadvantage.

"I will take this opportunity to ask the Secretary General of the Ministry of National Defense for instructions and request that the F-16 fighters that will be equipped with the Air Force be the first to be deployed at Peshawar Air Base." Musha'af said.

In later generations, Peshawar Air Base has always been the world of J-6. It was not until '86 that it began to shift to the Soviets, and the fight against the Soviet Air Force began after '86, when Pakistan had avoided contact with the Soviets.

And due to the arrival of Mhammad, everything has changed, and under the command of Mhammad, the J-6 and the Su-24 conducted the first air battle, so that the Soviets tasted the taste of being shot down, and history has been advanced.

F-16, in front of Mhammad's eyes, the belly intake, the shape is quite good-looking American-made fighter, which is the crystallization of the honeymoon between the United States and Pakistan under the stimulation of the Soviet Union. However, immediately after the end of the war in Afghanistan, the Americans changed their attitude, and the purchase contract for the follow-up 60 F-16 fighters of the Peacegate-4 was torn up by the Americans, who neither delivered the fighters nor returned the down payment, which was a complete hooliganism.

This is caused by the strategy of the United States, when the Soviet Union collapsed, the Americans have placed the main imaginary enemy on the head of the eastern countries, India and the eastern countries are completely hostile, so the balance of the Americans began to tilt in favor of India, and Pakistan, with India is an old enemy, and with the eastern countries has become an ally, at this time, India is obviously more in line with the interests of the Americans than Pakistan.

"We also need new fighters." "The F-16 is just a light fighter, and our Pakistani skies need a heavy fighter to protect it," Mhammad said. ”

The F-16 is just a low-end fighter in the highlands of the US Air Force, if it is just to protect the skies of Pakistan, then the light fighter is enough, but if you want to dominate South Asia, the long-range, heavy air superiority fighter with a large bomb load is a must.

"The Americans are not going to sell the F-15 to us." As if knowing what Mhammad was going to say, Musha'f said: "This is the most important fighter plane for the Americans, and it is not enough for us to sell only to the closest allies, such as Israel, even if the United States wants to sell it, the senators in the Senate will not agree." ”

"It's not the F-15, the United States still has a batch of F-14 fighters that are being held, and Grumman has a lot of headaches for these fighters, hoping that there will be a buyer, these are ready-made, and they can be used when they are returned." "Especially since this fighter has ultra-long-range Immortal Bird missiles, we can even launch them within our own territory and directly snipe the Soviets who have just taken off from Bagram!" ”

The F-14 Tomcat fighter, the masterpiece of Grumman, the pride of the U.S. Navy, the air defense of the fleet, the heavy fighter with a computer-controlled fully variable sweep wing, and the four-Mach Immortal Bird missile, are also an invincible save.

Just a few years ago, the United States and Iran were still allies, for Iran, the United States is responsive, and only Iran, which has deep pockets, can have enough strength to choose expensive Tomcat fighters, the first batch of eighty has been delivered, Iran's orders saved the cost of strict overspending Tomcat fighters and Grumman, but unfortunately, when the second batch of Tomcats was manufactured, Iran had a revolution, regime change, and became an enemy of the United States.

If you get those fighters, the skies of Pakistan will become impregnable!

Mhammad's eyes lit up, and just before he could elaborate on the benefits of such a formidable fighter, the phone rang.

Musha'f, who picked up the phone, suddenly changed his expression, stood solemn, and said a few words in a row.

Putting down the phone, Musha'af's expression was still stern, and Mhammad couldn't help asking, "Commander, what's wrong?" ”

"The president is coming to Peshawar." "The helicopter has taken off," Musha'f said. ”

The president is coming! Until now, Mhammad was only the chief of staff of a military region, and he had never been to Islamabad, let alone the president of Pakistan.

Now, just after the conflict with the Soviet Air Force, and the border is not yet peaceful, the president of Pakistan has personally gone to the front line of the conflict, which shows how bold this president from the army is.

A medium-sized helicopter flies in the sky, its rotors stirring the air currents and whining, the helicopter's cabin is not well insulated, and the roar irritates everyone's eardrums.

A man who was almost sixty years old but still in good spirits sat there, his hair combed neatly, his eyes piercing, his eyebrows crooked, and his mustache unspeakably cold.

"President, the situation ahead is unclear now, and if you go like this, I am afraid that it will be dangerous, there are mountains everywhere, and maybe there will be Soviet planes sneaking over." Beside the man, another middle-aged man said.

Mohammed Zia-ul-ul, the current president of Pakistan, the core of the military government, he participated in the war with the British army in his early years, and then participated in two Indo-Pakistani wars, he has rich combat experience, and gradually became a pivotal figure in the army, a few years ago, he staged a military coup d'état, executed the then President Ali Bhutto, ended civilian rule, and reverted to military government.

Regardless of the elections, two years ago, Zia-ul-Haq embarked on a three-year plan for the economy, and Pakistan's economy has grown dramatically, and now he has a high reputation among the population.

Such a man who had been on the battlefield since childhood, who had come from the army, was not afraid of any danger at all, and when he heard that there was a standoff between the air force and the Soviets on the border, Zia-ul-Haq hurriedly ended a meeting on the economy, took a helicopter, and rushed to Peshawar.

He was accompanied by the main defense ministers, Defense Minister Murvev, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Hellett, Secretary General of the Ministry of Defense Mizar and others.

It was Murwaif who had just spoken, and it was too dangerous to go to Peshawar in this situation, and before getting on the plane, he had told Zia-ul-Haq that he could go and let the president stay in Islamabad, but the president refused his request.

"Yes, President, it's too dangerous there, Pakistan can't live without you, so you better go back." Hurlitt also said.

"You say, what should we do with this incident?" Zia-Haq asked them.

How to deal with it? The Cabinet of Ministers of Defense forbade fighting with the Soviet Air Force, at most it could only be driven, but the air force of the Peshawar Military District exchanged fire and shot down the Soviet plane, which was the reason why the Soviet fighters came to retaliate, if from this point of view, the Peshawar Military District was suspected of disobedience, but...
