While shouting a warning to the wingman, Aslam didn't care about any bombing mission, directly adjusted the weapon selection button to the "EMER" (emergency release), then pulled the trigger, dropped all the bombs in the valley along with the fuel tank, and then quickly entered the dive.

For a moment, the snow-covered mountains outside the cabin rushed towards him like a high wall, and then receded in the corner of his vision.

The J-5III does not have the relatively reliable low-altitude autopilot capabilities of the MiG-27 or Mirage 2000H, and although there is a radio altimeter that can be used to avoid collisions, the joystick still has to be broken by the pilot himself.

In this kind of valley terrain, if you wait for that thing to sound, you're basically a dead man.

However, he had to take the risk.

The two menacing planes that had suddenly emerged from a distance had apparently been lying in ambush nearby for quite some time.

It is likely that as soon as the plane on your side took off from the airport, there were special agents lurking around to report the news to the other side.

The position that had just been blown up was also clearly a disguised false position.

In other words, it's a trap.

In the face of this kind of enemy with medium-range bombs and coming prepared, it is obviously a reality that delaying time to wait for support or waiting for an opportunity to run away is obviously better than climbing up and using attack planes to fight other fighters head-on.

"Tail Knife One, I'm in the valley on the north side of the target, and there are ...... around"

Sammy does like to let his teammates bait him and then sneak up on him in the back.

It's quite possible that you'll suddenly rush to the opposite face.

He tried to confirm the condition of his wingman.

Just when he had already begun to think about whether he could survive in the ice and snow after parachuting, a calm voice suddenly came out of the radio:

But the point is that no one else can refute it......

Aslam quickly saw where Sami had said and made him turn.

After calling two more times in a row, Aslam's heart was already starting to panic.

"......"

Fortunately, for the vast majority of radars in this era, the mountains stretching for thousands of kilometers at the junction of the East Asian continent and the South Asian subcontinent are definitely a nightmare difficulty application scenario, as long as you dare to fly low enough, you can evade the radar lock.

Although the J-5III has achieved a lot of "shootdowns" in air combat simulation confrontations, it is more of a gap in the ability of the reaction pilot, not in the performance of the aircraft.

Of course, this process will inevitably lose some energy, resulting in a huge disadvantage in the following line-of-sight battle.

Fortunately, before the voice completely disappeared, the other party still said the whole plan:

"There will be a mountain pass about 5 kilometers in front of you, turn right from there and drill out, and then fly to the east, I and the wingman are behind the second highest peak, you lead the enemy over, we deal with it."

"Panther Two, Panther Two, how are you doing? Pay attention to the lower height! ”

The other side doesn't even need any electronic warfare, as long as the frequency band is adjusted to the vicinity, some conversations can be heard indistinctly.

The old instructor of the US military flight school can shoot down the F15 driven by the rookie with the T45 training aircraft, but this does not mean that the former can confront the latter on the battlefield.

It is in Urdu.

It was also because in the valley that he couldn't turn around, so he could only fly forward with his head down.

Therefore, in this case, it is clearly not a good thing to communicate in English.

"Can you see where my wingman is?"

"Panther One, can you hear me?"

The strong 5 radio station only has a simple frequency hopping encryption ability, the frequency accuracy is very poor, and it is also a mature shelf product in the West.

He took a deep breath and decided to forget about the wingman for a moment and save his own life first.

"I know where you are."

Apparently, the rumors within the Air Force are true.

He secretly scolded the other party for not being a person, and then ignored the threat of infrared bombs, and quickly started the afterburner to accelerate and flew behind the mountain peak that the other party said.

"The ...... of the mountain pass in front"

Of course, it is also possible that it has been shot down.

But there was no response.

Aslam's call was only exchanged for an extremely vague stabbing sound, and it was clear that the other party heard the question, but the answer given was not fully conveyed.

And then you have to put on the appearance that you are the savior.

Apparently the two Indian fighters that had been ambushed before.

Sure enough, the RWR alarm in the captain's ears quickly calmed down.

While this may be so coincidentally low, it still cannot be ruled out.

Naturally, there is no satellite communication capability on the old plane, and the general radio is indeed very stable in this kind of terrain, and whether it can be connected or not depends on the face.

"Whew-"

But for now, we have to survive and think long-term.

Aslam struggled to find some signature features in the receding terrain, but was interrupted in the middle of his sentence.

In the valley, he couldn't see the two planes on the other side.

Sammy's voice on the radio was also a little indistinct, and it seemed that the blocking effect of the mountains was starting to appear again.

The moment he flew out of the pass, he saw two white wakes on his upper left.

A nervous Aslam had to look back almost every two seconds to confirm the location of the two enemy planes.

When he turned back for the third time, two white trails had turned towards him, apparently seeing the strong 5 that was drilling into the mountain.

RWR also prompted that there was an X-band radar irradiation behind him, which was judged to be a legal RDI type, but it was not locked for a long time.

It's the Mirage 2000H.

This made the wary captain breathe a sigh of relief.

The performance of the RDI radar is much better than that of the N019 above the MiG-29, but both are basically blind when facing targets at low altitudes.

And once flying within the line of sight, the combination of the latter R73, the OEPS-29 optoelectronic sighting system and the helmet-mounted sight is very fatal.

Not to mention the possibility of a peculiar infrared-guided medium-range projectile like the R27T.

In comparison, the threat of the Magic 1/2 is simply negligible.

……

The slightly weak acceleration of the Mirage 2000 gave the captain a chance.

Before he could rush out of the valley and get behind the mountain peaks designated by Sammy, one of the enemy planes fired a missile very reluctantly.

But rightfully lost the target.

But Aslam himself is in trouble.

On the other side of the mountain is a relatively flat plateau, and there is no longer a complicated terrain for him to flicker and move.

The captain looked around, but did not notice Sammy, who claimed to be in ambush.

He panicked instantly.

If this TM lets the two planes on the other side catch up, can it be good?

So I subconsciously wanted to continue diving.

"Climb, don't swoop, I'm near the foot of the hill behind you."

Aslam felt that his blood pressure was high, and he replied breathlessly:

"It's easy to say, but you weren't the one who was chased by the two planes?"

Having said that, he still followed the other party's request and began to slowly increase his height.

When the pilots of the two Mirage 2000s drilled out of the pass and rediscovered the strong 5 that looked like a loach, the radar showed a distance of 6 kilometers between the two sides.

An awkward distance that is too far for a combat bomb, but a little too close to launch a radar bomb.

So the long machine decided to wait a little longer.

At the current speed, it only takes about a minute to chase into the inescapable zone of Magic 2.

If it is successfully shot down, then today's strategy is to win a big game.

Using a real howitzer and a few other decoys, replacing two attack aircraft, even if it is an old-fashioned attack aircraft produced more than ten years ago, is not a loss.

However, when people's attention is focused on the front, they tend to forget about other circumstances around them.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

The two J-7Fs of the tail knife squadron have also quietly touched the lower rear of the two Mirage 2000s at this time.

For the average pilot, the most easily overlooked direction -

You have to look back while doing a roll to see it.

In fact, at that distance just now, it was an upward search, and in fact, the target could already be locked.

However, activating the radar will inevitably lead to an RWR alarm, and then it will be nothing more than a 2-on-2 air battle with a positional advantage at the beginning but an energy disadvantage.

Sammy's personality still likes to tackle opponents on the sly.

When the two sides were already close to a distance of about three kilometers, he and the wingman pulled the trigger almost simultaneously, and two Thunderbolt 5Cs ignited from under the wing, dragging long black smoke to the target.

This is what Sami is most dissatisfied with about this plane.

There is no clear distinction between smoked propellants and smokeless propellants in terms of performance, but they are indeed more fatal for sneak attacks.

In fact, according to his thoughts, the shooting distance should have been closer.

But if you wait any longer, the strong 5-long plane of the Black Panther squadron in front may not be able to go back.

The second-generation infrared combat bomb of the Thunderbolt 5 naturally has no lock, so although the two planes deliberately staggered some distances, the two missiles still rushed to the target that fell behind at the same time.

The Mirage 2000H was hit by the engine without dodging, and immediately lost all power and most of the left wing, and immediately entered a spiral fall.

The second missile, launched from a slightly longer distance, arrived immediately after it and almost hit the wreckage of the plane, not even giving the pilot a chance to eject it.

In an instant, offense and defense are easy to shape!

At this time, the Indian military commander was just about to launch the missile, but found that the wingman in the rear of the side exploded directly into fireworks, so frightened that he quickly threw away all three auxiliary fuel tanks, and at the same time rolled to the right into the dive, and turned off the afterburner of the plane - this will make it easier for the infrared signal of the tail nozzle to be hidden in the decoy bomb.

"Slow down, turn on the radar, and force him to use medium-range bullets to turn on afterburner!"

The tail cutter made a tight circle at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, and by this time he was almost at the same altitude as the target Mirage 2000.

But the other party is swooping down after all, so the speed is faster now.

It's just that it's already slowing down.

He asked his wingman to use the radar, also because he was worried that the melee bullet would accidentally injure him.

Two-to-one, under the premise that the gap between the performance of the aircraft and the level of the pilot is not very large, the result is actually doomed.

Eventually, after luring the other side out of energy with two Thunderbolt 11s, Sammy launched the last Thunderbolt 5C he carried, leaving the slow and long plane with him in the mountains on the west side of the Siachen Glacier.

At this time, Aslam turned on the radio again:

"Captain Tailcutter, did you see my wingman just now?"

Although he asked so, he actually had some bad premonitions in his secrets.

Sammy was looking back at the falling umbrella flowers, and he hesitated several times to go back and kill them all, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided not to break the convention between pilots.

After all, it is only a limited conflict near the line of contact, and it is still necessary to leave some leeway.

"See."

He maneuvered the plane to climb again, heading northwest for the return home:

"After being locked by the radar on the opposite side, I guessed that I panicked, and I didn't pay attention to the terrain in the process of descending the altitude, and crashed into a ridge."

“***”

Aslam let out a frustrated scolding.

Today's experience was not a good one for him.

Although one strong 5 for two Mirage 2000 is definitely a big profit, this has nothing to do with his squadron, it is completely Sammy's limelight.

"Can you take me to the crash?"

"It's better not to."

Sammy refused:

"If the other side finds that the two planes are missing, it is likely that more fighters will take off to retaliate, and it will be difficult for us to fight more targets, and we will not have enough fuel, so we will have to prepare to return."

His reasons are very strong, and Aslam, although he is not reconciled, can only agree:

"Yes! Prepare to return! ”
