Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 391
At this time, the colonel had disappeared from the display, and he descended into the mountains, while avoiding the sight of the command plane and the Hawkeye early warning aircraft of the US Navy at sea.

"Maybe the colonel will launch an attack?" Song Ning guessed.

"He will. He's going to make a big mess."

The major general on the command plane is more aware of the colonel's nature than Song Ning. When they were young and they were in the 9th Squadron together, Sami took advantage of the poor communication opportunities in the mountains to make his own initiative and cross the border to attack the Soviet MiG fighters. As a result, he was dispatched from the F16 unit at the front to the J-7 unit at the rear.

Of course, the colonel is not just a person who is afraid of chaos in the world. Behind his unauthorized actions, there always seems to be some calculations; the major general has always suspected that his original intention may be to bring the Indian Air Force into In China, it turned out to be self-defeating, and I was beaten down.Also, when the F16 was shot down at the border, the American plane happened to land in Pakistan, which to some extent prevented the United States from provoking repeatedly on the Afghan border.This person is always so restless.

EA-18G turned to Song Ning resolutely. This was obviously an instruction from the early warning aircraft. He probably thought that the Raiden was scared and fled away. Generally speaking, taking the initiative to lower the altitude can also be seen as a sign of timidity and retreat.Now the Growler has a new mission-continue to detect China's bottom line and carry out provocations; this mission does have political plots, and this fighter plane has also obtained permission to fire.

There are 2 Hornets rushing over from the rear, also to provoke trouble.The current U.S. government hopes to be stronger before the general election, so that it is easy to leave voters with an image of the U.S. intervening to expel Chinese forces from the Indian Ocean, which is beneficial to the election campaign.At the same time, such means are also used to deter Iran, so that after the establishment of the new Baluchistan regime, it can exert decisive influence and eliminate the remaining forces as much as possible.The planning itself is to forcibly expel the Chinese fighter planes in the war zone. If the Chinese Air Force does not back down, then it will open fire according to the situation.

The strong electromagnetic interference caused Sammy to lose all external information, but he could still see the condensation trail across the sky, and the trail crossed an arc and flew north.It seems that this stupid guy has completely ignored his own existence?Or did he take a Raiden lightly?Of course, Sami reminded himself not to be careless, maybe there are other fighter planes approaching from the rear at sea.

In the mountains, the colonel deftly turned a corner, then quickly analyzed the terrain, and decided to catch up to the Growler from the side.When he got angry, the enemy aircraft was within the radar aperture of the HUD, but he didn't want to alert the target yet, so he didn't use the radar.

Even if the U.S. Hawkeye early warning aircraft on the sea saw a new threat, she reminded the lone army's deep growlers to pay attention to the rear.The growler paid the price for his reckless comeback for underestimating the enemy. He suddenly found that he had fallen into an extremely passive situation, and he could only call his companions in the rear to get closer in time to get rid of the unfavorable situation.

Thunderbolt didn't immediately lock onto the enemy plane, the old man just energized and cooled the seeker of the fighting missile, allowing it to directly scan the target's heat source.He hoped that his opponent would be lulled into thinking that this was just an intense coast chase, still out of range for a close call.Of course, the US plane is an enemy plane to him, and he is not prepared to show mercy.Ranging is nothing to him, even if he can guess roughly with the naked eye, he does not need to use early warning aircraft or airborne radar.

The Growler's movements were a bit abnormal. Instead of launching jamming to counter infrared tracking, he turned sharply, which is a typical action to get rid of radar tracking.Even if Sami didn't have any external information, he could still guess that the enemy plane should escape the radar of another fighter plane in the north direction, probably Song Ning's.It seems that he still underestimated the enemy and didn't take a Thunderbolt seriously.

In the earphones, the reminder that the missile captured the heat source sounded slowly, and then the frequency increased.The missile has not yet disengaged from the pylon.Its seeker had already aimed, and it was a surefire attack, not only because the enemy aircraft was in a bad position early, but also because it was still in the dark; the Growler used common sense to lock on the radar as the first threat, and carried out the attack. Dodge, obviously he has not experienced too much actual combat.

The visual distance is about 2 kilometers.The Growler, carrying too many pods, was struggling to climb, slowing noticeably.The colonel did not hesitate, and launched two PL-2 missiles at the same time.Watching them fly towards the target, he guessed that the enemy's rear seat pilot might be alerting him, but his current position is perfect, even those tricky X-shaped rattlesnakes can hardly threaten him by aiming through the helmet .

After the enemy plane turned into a dive and started to fire chaff, Sammy was a little surprised that he still didn't see the trailing missile. Maybe the plane had a large rear blind spot.For a moment, he suddenly had some fear, but after thinking about it, the fear passed. Anyway, this was not the first time he fired at an American plane.

A dazzling flash erupted from the sea of ​​clouds, and then Major General Islam's frightened voice appeared on the radio.

"Are you crazy? Did you know you took down an American plane?"

"Baobao, this is Captain Black Spider, you must have misread it, what I hit was an Indian Su-30 fighter jet."

"..."

"Bastion, maybe I was mistaken, but I was interrupted and lost contact just now. I thought it was a Su-30MKI of the Lion Squadron."

While talking nonsense, he rolled over to observe the falling enemy plane dragging thick smoke, and after confirming that the two American pilots had parachuted, he leveled the plane.

"Black spider leader, I saw that you shot down an unknown plane by mistake." Song Ning said in the formation channel.He knew that the American radio monitoring ship on the sea could hear radio conversations, so he had to pick himself up in advance.This result may not be unacceptable to him. If Sammy drives a J-10 to create such a disaster, it will be a little troublesome; after all, the Chinese Air Force does not have Thunder fighters, and the American early warning aircraft can naturally understand it.

"Black Spider, withdraw from the battle immediately. Two American fighter planes are approaching. Attack actions may be taken."

"clear."

The old man looked down at the monitor, the enemy plane was approaching: thank God, the data link is finally restored, and now he can finally control the situation.

Two hornets are approaching menacingly.The radar alarm on the thunderbolt also sounded, and the enemy plane was obviously coming for revenge.The colonel did not have the capital to shoot at long distances, so he lowered his altitude quite presciently, and then waited for the enemy plane to attack first.

An enemy plane fired two AIM-25 missiles at a distance of 2 kilometers. He was obviously impatient. He didn't know that the colonel did not have medium-range missiles.But the other one didn't launch and seemed to be monitoring Song Ning further north.Song Ning didn't dare to underestimate him, and he couldn't fight without the permission of his superiors. He could only turn slightly to the west and be ready to respond to any situation.

Leiden once again relied on the terrain to evade the flight, avoiding the radar's downward looking search. In such a terrain, he is not afraid of the missile's active radar search at all, but the plane's phased array radar is another matter. If the command correction is lost, the center will Shooting at such a distance is basically unreliable.While relying on navigation reminders to avoid them in the deep mountains, he hoped that Song Ning could fire at another Hornet, or that the Hornet could fire at Song Ning, which was within his acceptable range.

Sure enough, the other Hornet couldn't hold back and fired a missile at Song Ning.Since he was the first to strike, Song Ning could only evade.

The major general on the AWACS watched the situation turn upside down in surprise, and at the same time had to worry about where the American pilots who parachuted fell?Whether the situation will develop to the point of getting out of hand, he dare not say; anyway, the war has become like this, in fact, it has long been difficult to deal with, so let him go.

Both American fighter planes seized the opportunity and opened fire first, but the opponent's response was quite sophisticated. It was not the typical method in the textbook, which was to get rid of tracking by violently maneuvering perpendicular to the direction of the radar, but to lower the altitude and use the mountain to use the ground. Terrain damage radar look down.In the U.S. military's on-the-spot research on this war, it has been found that the pilots of the participating parties often use mountainous terrain to avoid medium-range bombs. This may be a way to find out through actual combat.Not exactly the same situation as in a confrontational exercise with limited combat airspace.Low-altitude flight has long been the basic skill of attack aircraft pilots, and it has not been given much meaning in air combat.

Lowering the altitude is indeed equivalent to giving up the initiative, but the reality is 3 vs 2.Song Ning had already called his wingmen to conduct a large-scale outflank from the side, which was unexpected by the US military aircraft.In the era of data links, the scope of cooperation between fighter formations can be very large, because even if they are out of sight, the entire situation can still be fully presented through early warning aircraft and data links.

The Hawkeye early warning aircraft suffered a little from the detection range, and he didn't know another J-10 fighter outside the battlefield.At this moment, Zhao Lin was close to the attack envelope of the Indian S300 in the distance, and quickly outflanked him. Before he appeared in the sight of the US Navy, he completed the radar tracking of the two Hornets at the same time.The U.S. plane suddenly realized that the situation was not good, and was forced to turn the nose and flee to the sea.The Growler, which was shot down, fell 2 kilometers north of the coast of Pakistan. The local guerrillas did not know how to please the United States, and immediately released news about the safety of the pilots, trying to please the United States; Describing the situation at that time, some of them said that the US plane was shot down when it dropped bombs on the Chinese ground forces in order to support their offensive.In the end, the US Secretary of State personally denied the above statement. He reiterated that the United States did not support any party in the conflict.

Lin Huaisheng was almost at the same time as the head of the army. He received the report of the crime and also learned of the shooting down of a Growler. The report did not say which country the pilot shot down the plane, but he was not very surprised that this would happen. matter.

Howlers often appear in the combat zone, and they must be the target of public criticism if they interfere with the noise of the team.When he was in southern Pakistan, what he hated most was not Indian tanks, but this scourge that could not be fought.

Obviously, this loss will affect the election situation in the United States.For the current president, it will be a self-defeating fool, but it should not cause too many problems in diplomacy. The Americans did not directly point out the country that shot down the plane, which shows that they are ready to endure it again.

He flipped through the rest of the content, and as expected, Spanga's tanks had approached 25 kilometers near Shamsi, and the ground defenses fell apart.The last JH-7 also flew to Peshawar 3 hours ago, which means that China’s last symbolic check and balance on the Arabian Sea is gone. Everything is in his calculations, and India’s expansion has finally reached limit.

It can be guessed that as Spanga's army finally controlled more than half of the Baluchistan region, the populism that has already shown weakness in India is bound to have a shot in the arm.Kahan can almost declare that Pakistan is dead and India is heading for a new 1000 years of prosperity.Of course, things will definitely not evolve completely according to Kahan or Singer's script. Lin Huaisheng is very confident about this.Xu Jingzhe told him not long ago that the oil reserves are larger than the figures known to the outside world and the figures reported internally.

The last part of the war report sent to Lin Huaisheng was printed with the words "destroy after reading". He folded it into stacks and stuffed it into his pocket.

This special air assault unit was deployed in the rear LZD area for the sake of secrecy.A few months ago, according to Lin Huaisheng's idea, the higher-ups selected some capable personnel from various units to form this paramotor unit. This is the core assault force in the initial stage of the entire sneak attack plan, and it is also the focus of confidentiality work. The existence of this army has never been known. In fact, if this army is exposed a little, a person as shrewd as Charmain can guess the essence of the attack plan almost immediately.
