Chapter 258: Red Flag Military Exercise

"President Mhammad, our air force has always dared to fight, and in the Korean battlefield, we dared to see red with bayonets, and now, although our air force equipment is a little backward, we still have a chance to win when several fighters besiege one, right?" Just when Mhammad was preaching the quality superiority of the Air Force in this way, Air Force Lieutenant General Wang Hai, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force, asked Mhammad.

Mhammad turned his head and looked respectfully at the gray-haired old man who asked the question, and he had just remembered the lieutenant general's name as he shook hands.

Others, maybe Mhammad doesn't know, but this general, Mhammad is well aware, born in 1925, joined the army in 1946, and then, dedicated his whole life to the sky of the republic, during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, he led the young Republic Air Force Brigade, and the world ace of the U.S. Air Force more than 80 fierce battles, shot down and damaged 29 U.S. planes, and was awarded the collective first-class merit; He himself shot down four enemy planes and damaged five, became a combat hero of the first class, and was awarded the Order of the National Flag of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, 2nd class, and the Order of Freedom and Independence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, 2nd class; And his brigade is known as the "heroic Wang Hai brigade". In the south square of the Revolutionary Military Museum, there is still a MiG-15 Bis fighter plane painted with nine red stars, which is the meritorious plane that Wang Hai flew in those years.

This was a brave soldier of the republic, after which he rose through the ranks, and now, is the deputy commander-in-chief of the air force of the republic. When the equipment is at an inferior's level, it is necessary to give play to the subjective initiative of the people, and this is also a kind of consciousness of the military personnel of the republic. When J-7 and J-8 were at a disadvantage, they relied on numerical superiority to make up for it, which was their tactic.

However, with the continuous development of technology. Although Mhammad is now the president of Pakistan, after all, in his previous life, he was still a soldier of the republic. No matter what point of view, he has to let the soldiers of the republic know what modern air warfare is and what high-tech warfare is, so that the leaders of the republic can carry out military reform and armament building in advance to cope with the crises of future generations.

In the Hereafter. When the US aircraft carriers sailed into the coastal waters of the Republic in a grand manner, the military personnel of the Republic suddenly discovered that they did not have any means to deal with the US aircraft carriers, and when the Americans bombed the embassy of the Republic, all the people woke up, completely disillusioned with the Americans, and began to follow their own path firmly. The process is tortuous, and the price is high.

And now. Mhammad will not let such history repeat itself again!

Now, let the high-ranking people of the republic know what modern warfare is!

"General Wang, let me mention yƬ, how about we organize a military exercise?" "We dispatched two Tomcat fighters. An E-2 AWACS aircraft, an electronic jamming aircraft, you can dispatch a large group of Air Force fighters, what do you think? ā€

A brigade of fighters, that's twelve! Two against twelve. That's an absolute numerical disadvantage. Mhammad's suggestion is to stimulate the people in front of him and let them see what the world-class air force tactics are like.

"Okay, I totally agree." Wang Hai said: "The code name of this exercise is called the Red Flag Military Exercise!" ā€

Twelve fighters, although old, can also abuse you all over the ground to find teeth! During World War II, Germany had wolf pack tactics! The air force of the republic, which is at a disadvantage, can also use the same air force wolf pack tactics!

The exercise began the day after Mhammad's visit, and this exercise, without any preparation of any plan, was completely a method of actual combat, and the Pakistan Air Force, after receiving the order, only temporarily took off from Peshawar an E-2 early warning plane, an EC-130H electronic jamming plane, and two Tomcat fighters to the north, through the skies over Kashmir, and into the skies over Tibet.

The battle began in the skies of eastern Tibet.

The Territorial Air Defense Radar Network closely monitored the invading enemy planes, and the two squadrons of Jian-7 fighters and one squadron of Jian-8 fighters stationed on the Tibetan Plateau took off in an emergency and headed in the direction in which the "enemy planes" flew under the guidance of ground radars.

All the numbers were gathered in the capital's air force command center, and the announcer kept telling the situation of the two sides.

"J-8 fighter squadron, high-altitude and high-speed, fly quickly to intercept."

"J-7 fighter squadron, enter a low altitude, prepare for a sneak attack."

The Air Force of the Republic is really powerless to intercept the MiG-2.8 aircraft of the Indians flying at Mach 25, and it would be a shame to intercept such two fighters if they both failed.

Twelve fighters, divided into two batches, the Jian-8 fighter is improved on the basis of the Jian-7 fighter, focusing on high-altitude and high-speed interception performance, such interception, they are the best at it.

And the J-7 has better maneuverability, so enter from a low altitude and use the complex terrain on the ground to disable the opponent's radar.

Looking at the battle situation, Mhammad couldn't help but smile in his heart, high-altitude and high-speed, just the best target for the Immortal Bird missile, and flying at ultra-low altitude, thinking that he had no choice? Both the E-2 early warning aircraft and the AWG-9 radar have perfect downward visibility and can detect low-altitude aircraft from ground clutter.

It's time for your electronic jammer to do its job, right?

"One hundred and fifteen at a distance, fifteen thousand at a height, keep getting closer." Ground-based radar guides are constantly guiding the fighters in the skies.

Suddenly, the radar screen in front of him, a snowflake, followed by a noise in the headphones.

"Hey, hey, 071, 071, please call back." He kept screaming, but nothing was answered.

"What's going on?" In the command center in the rear, Wang Hai asked his subordinates.

"There was strong interference, the radar failed, and the call was lost."

"Let's change the frequency band immediately." Wang Hai said.

"No, with full-band interference, we simply can't find a frequency that can communicate." The subordinate said.

"In modern air warfare, the first thing that appeared was electronic countermeasures." "Electronic jammers can disable radars, communication systems, so that the side that does not have electronic countermeasures means is deaf and blind," Mhammad said. ā€

Thinking of later generations, it was already the mid-90s, and Taiwan's air force was equipped with so many electronic jamming planes, and as a result, Fujian on the other side of the strait was jammed to a pulp, and Mhammad knew that if he wanted to prevent history from repeating itself, it was necessary to make them realize now that electronic countermeasures were already a necessary prerequisite for air warfare.

The air forces of the republic, mainly using the Soviet mode of operation, carried out interceptions under the guidance of ground-based radars, which was the standard mode of operations of the Territorial Defense Forces, and when they left ground-based radars, they lost their targets.

At this time, the Jian-8 was still in the form of nose air intake, and without advanced radar, it was impossible to detect the opposite fighter.

The Tomcat fighters have used the AWG-9 radar to lock on the four J-8 fighters flying on the opposite side, and have shot two immortal birds to "shoot down" the J-8 fighter formation.

Before the photo was taken, more than 100 kilometers away, the four Jian-8 had already "fallen", and the people present were wide-eyed, they could hardly believe it, but this is the case, in the air battles between the Pakistan Air Force and the Soviet Union and India, a considerable part of the achievements were created by immortal birds.

"We also have ultra-low-flying J-7 fighters." Wang Hai said.

Ultra-low-altitude flight? Even if it is close to the ground, it is under the preparation of the E-2 AWACS aircraft to capture!

The Jian-7 fighters flew in a formation of four planes in the valley, and although they had lost contact with the rear, they were still flying according to the pre-arranged arrangement, and when they flew another 20 kilometers, they would pull up and find the enemy planes by sight.

At this moment, in the rear of their flight, two Tomcat fighters had quietly approached.

Dive down, "fire" the Sidewinder missile, and pull up again!

Two Jian-7 were attacked like this, and the other two, climbing up, wanted to fight with the Tomcat fighter, but unfortunately, the Tomcat fighter had already flown away with its excellent climbing performance.

Just when the pilots of the Jian-7 fighters scanned the airspace left and right, trying to find the target again, they were already locked on, and the Tomcat fighters used Sparrow missiles again to "shoot down" them.

Only the last Jian-7 four-plane formation remained, but at this time, there was no need to fight anymore, this four-plane formation had already flown away from the battlefield airspace, lost the guidance of the rear radar, and they yawed.

The battle situation in the later period was transmitted to them by the E-2 early warning aircraft, and looking at their own air force, it was like paper paste, being played by two Tomcat fighters of the Pakistan Air Force, and the faces of the people present were not good-looking.

That's the gap, the huge gap! If there is a real war, then, even if all the air forces of the republic are pulled out, in front of dozens of Tomcats in Pakistan, there is only a part of abuse, no wonder the Pakistani Air Force can resist the Soviet Air Force, they definitely have their own real skills!

"President Mhammad, you have taught our Air Force a vivid lesson." Deng Gong said to Mhammad.

The gap was so obvious that all the people could see that they were shocked, and at the same time a new world opened up in front of their eyes, it turns out that modern air combat is fought like this!

"If our air force is not strong, then the shape of South Asia will be out of control a long time ago." "The air force is the focus of the country, for example, we are fighting India's massive armored forces, not by our army, but by the air force," Mhammad said. ā€

These people in front of them are very stubborn, the thinking of the Continental Army has always been in their heads, they must be helped to reverse this impression, and they must pay attention to the Air Force! (To be continued......)
