Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 462 Fire Reconnaissance
A tyrannical fighter actually flashed past the moving radar beam. Although the tracking radar was turning rapidly, it was completely unable to keep up and flew directly over the fighter above.

Sami passed by at a terrifying height as high as a tree, and immediately sensed the unknown radar below.He distracted himself, turned his head, and saw the thunderous flames coming behind him, and the two anti-aircraft guns were looking for the trail of the thunder and lightning, shooting desperately, causing fragments to fly across the air, and black smoke billowing.The firepower that lost its precise control gradually fell behind the target, but this is not a good sign. The enemy should still have a TV target tracking system and will launch missiles soon.

When he turned his head, the rugged bald mountain in front of him was already close in front of him. He hurriedly turned to avoid it, and when he drew a huge arc, he could see that the crazy tongue of flame was still extending towards him, almost at 0?At the elevation angle, a row of big trees in the park were swept away.

When the colonel took the time to look back for the second time, he saw two missiles rising from the ground. The ignition time of the first-stage rocket of the missiles was still too long, which caused the missiles to make huge turning movements immediately after lift-off, and did not catch the heat source of the lightning. , the two missiles flew away in different directions.This is obviously the result of the commanding personnel still firing rashly after the optical equipment lost the target, but this damn air defense firepower point does not only have two missiles. The colonel knows that he must maintain a low-altitude flight in the urban area for a period of time to avoid caught by its sensors.

He turned his head sideways to observe for a long time this time. When he turned around, he saw a field of artillery shells flying across like locusts in front of him. After swooping down to avoid it, the majestic Faisal Mosque was already close at hand.

The 23mm double-linked anti-aircraft guns ambushed outside the mosque were firing firepower, and there were other firepower shooting around, and the colonel had no time to take care of them.However, most of the shells just flew by and did not explode near the route to form a barrage. Obviously, the firing was still too hasty.

He pulled up and swooped down quickly, throwing away the shot while destroying ground observation and ranging, and then made a more daring move, turning sideways and crossing the white pointed pillars outside the Great Mosque.The fighter plane reversed and maneuvered within a short distance, and the artillery shells that followed cut off the tip of the white pillar and sent broken stones flying around.

The colonel dodged 2 pillars with precision, avoiding most of the fire, then caught the air attack and turned to look around for new threats.

The Indians haven't had time to turn the fort into a large barracks, but the low-altitude firepower is already very strong, and it is completely built for medium and low altitudes.In an instant the colonel decided that he could not escape under the cover of the huge dome of the mosque, and the Indians would not hesitate to destroy any building.

So the thunderbolt pulled up again and flew towards the empty Berzinabhuto Airport.This lifting action was finally captured by the side rear radar, and the warning system identified it as a Tunguska system - which was obviously wrong.

When Sami made a series of rolls at low altitude to get rid of the radar, he saw the third and fourth missiles soaring from the rotating horizon. Although the radar could not keep tracking, the command of this launch was quite effective. The missiles dragged The crooked trail chased after it.

The colonel can choose to escape by parachuting at this moment, or... He saw a large Indian transport plane approaching from north to south at the Belchinabhutto International Airport, preparing to land.

The intelligence agency said that the Indians only deployed helicopters here, but this is not important anymore, and inaccurate intelligence is also a common thing.

He pushed harder and rushed straight to the opposite Indian transport plane, which was the best plan he could think of within 0.1 second.

The Indian captain has lowered the flaps and landing gear and is talking to the tower to coordinate the landing.He just reminded him that he flew over the glacier area where the Chinese Air Force sometimes haunts, and he had exhausted his energy, and was thinking of taking a rest after landing.A small plane that appeared inexplicably appeared in the field of vision, and it was in front of me in a blink of an eye.

The pilot and co-pilot shouted and pushed the 4 throttle valves on one side at the same time, and pulled up the plane.Most of the company's infantry in the rear engine room were overwhelmed by this sudden movement. They unbuckled their safety belts ahead of time, and the company commander who was about to get up to speak hit the bulkhead, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

At the last moment, Sammy pressed the lever to the bottom and passed directly under the An-32; when he flew over this runway last time, he let the pilot of the special plane of the United Nations experience his aggressiveness. Today he played more excitingly, sticking to the When the enemy's transport plane is belly, make a rolling motion and release interference at the same time to confuse the guidance part of the missile.

Neither of the two Indian pilots recognized that the bastard was actually an enemy. After they cursed and leveled the attitude of the plane, they saw two missiles rushing towards them.

"What the fuck is this called?"

"..."

The two missiles all hit the side of the An-2, and the left wing of this old-fashioned aircraft was almost completely blown away.The plane lost its lift, passed the fuselage sideways from 32 meters in the air, fell straight down, smashed to pieces, and crashed a large helicopter parked aside at the same time.

With this series of dizzying movements by Sami, Major General Islam, who was also swaying in the distance, lost his target. The Major General's heart rose to his throat, and he thought that he had really lost his comrade in arms this time.It wasn't until the thunderbolt soared into the sky that the command plane confirmed that he was still alive.

"Captain Black Spider, beware of enemy anti-aircraft fire..."

The major general called twice repeatedly, and the other party finally responded out of breath.

"Viper, I have already experienced their firepower. I think...the air defense level of Fort ***...exceeded the intelligence unit's assessment, especially in...the low-to-medium airspace."

"Squadron leader, did you take any pictures when you crossed the city?" A young and closed-eyed voice asked from the command plane.

"...Uh, I forgot about that."

"Captain Black Spider, location 075, two enemy planes."

The admiral almost broke his voice when he shouted.

Sami is still 17 kilometers southwest of Fort *** at this moment, which is the area where the two sides are stalemate.He calmly lowered his head to check the vertical display; two fighter planes that had been identified as Su-30MKI suddenly jumped over the northeast ridge and appeared 25 kilometers behind him. Obviously, the enemy is not stupid, and they have been studying new tactics and routes. .Although there are advantages in surveillance methods, neither the command plane nor the radar on the Chinese side can keep up with these targets all the way, and the enemy is playing tricks.

It is still not confirmed whether these two are the enemy planes that flew over Chandirga just now, but the mountainous area in this area actually provides the same enough stage for the air forces of both sides to display their strategies.Fortunately, this reconnaissance came prepared, and Song Ning's formation was 100 kilometers away to the northwest.

"Captain Lionheart, if you want to shoot down a fighter plane of Eagle Squadron, now is the time." Sammy shouted in the formation channel.

He could see that Song Ning was outflanking his opponent, but he was hesitant and didn't know what to worry about.And those two enemy planes did not use radar tracking immediately, they may think that they are still in a state of sneak attack.The colonel knows that if the enemy uses the IRST system to avoid the enemy, even if he secretly intercepts himself, he cannot guide an effective attack at such a distance (the IRST system of the Su-30 can only guide short-range infrared missiles).

"Colonel, how do you know it's the Eagle Squadron?" Song Ning flew nervously under the cliffs on both sides so that he would not be exposed, but he still couldn't speed up.

"Believe me, no other Indian squadron would play sneak attack in such a theater. The Eagles are always a bit slow in their heads."

As the colonel spoke, he accelerated appropriately. He hoped to lure the enemy deeper into his own line, and at the same time not let the enemy get too close, which would be self-defeating.His intuition clearly told him that the Eagle Squadron was secretly following behind. This squadron may have a young squadron leader. Its air combat skills are simple and sharp, but its tactics sometimes seem clumsy and self-righteous. For example, Being exposed under the eyes of the command plane, still attempting a sneak attack, of course, may also be a technical flaw of the Indians. This kind of tactical deviation caused by problems with the radio surveillance system is not uncommon in wars.The reckless Indian pilots are always full of overconfidence in the redundancy of the Russian system.

Song Ning still didn't dare to catch up at high speed. He also hoped that the command plane could fly to a more ideal position to make sure that there was no extra cover behind the enemy so that he could fight freely.Of course, in Sami's view, Song Ning never let go.

"Viper, I'd like to at least see what's going on at Bernalha Pass. Make sure there's no new threat approaching."

Song Ning was somewhat dissatisfied with the conservative route of the command plane. It was indeed against the rules for him to directly ask a command plane with a major general to change its course.However, in view of the fact that Sami often interfered with the direction of the command plane in the channel, the discipline of this temporary formation composed of elite pilots was finally a bit special.

"Captain Lionheart, we're moving, but you know we can't cross the Hindu Kush. That's too risky"

Sami was a little dissatisfied when he heard Song Ning's voice, and created a fighter himself, but Song Ning didn't appreciate it very much.He holds a certain negative opinion towards Song Ning, mainly rigid and uniform tactics, and has almost strict requirements on the position when approaching the enemy. Song Ning always asks others to do this and that. Apart from often losing opportunities because of caution, he seldom does anything for it. Others create fighters.

"Commander, why don't we launch an attack immediately?" Zhao Lin asked, "The enemy is increasing the distance."

"I think it's more important to see clearly the enemy's situation behind the mountain first." Song Ning replied calmly. He noticed Zhao Lin's eagerness to fight, and he couldn't help but think to himself: "We can't learn the colonel's messy things. You have His shit luck?"

Seeing that Song Ning did not make a decision, the colonel began to conceive a new plan.

Suddenly, the thunder and lightning disappeared in front of the two eagles. The Indian pilot had already secretly aimed at the enemy plane through the photoelectric targeting system, and launched an attack as soon as it appeared in sight; The plane suddenly disappeared.

India's rear command too alerted the Eagles that they had gotten too deep into enemy territory, an area where enemy AWACS could work well.

So the two Su-2s turned unwillingly.The ground radar can see the surrounding situation, which makes the pilot feel at ease.However, the pilot in the back seat still follows the mode of combat in the mountains, constantly observing the surroundings, especially the direction at 30 o'clock.Since the fighter plane has never had a navigation pod, the terrain avoidance flight will undoubtedly sacrifice the energy and frontal view of the fire control radar. They decided to keep flying at the original altitude and return directly through Gujarat controlled by the Indian army.

The two stalking J-2 fighters can rely on the data link to provide air information, and can also use radar to conduct terrain tracking flight in lower airspace, which makes Song Ning's favorite sneak attack tactic a chance to implement.

Song Ning never felt that there was any special meaning in grabbing a superior position through violent maneuvers, and he didn't think it was any special honor to shoot down an Eagle Squadron plane.In his concept, the so-called victory or defeat is to use more to fight the less, to use the strong to bully the weak, or to succeed in a sneak attack. If he does not have these advantages, or when the conditions are unclear, he would rather choose not to fight.But the colonel is always taking excessive risks. Just recently, he was shot down twice; so that he can only be assigned a restored Thunderbolt fighter like the reserve force, but Song Ning is sure, you just give him a fighter jet 2. He still dares to challenge Rafale or Su-6.

Sammy's Thunderbolt also disappeared from the poisonous snake's field of vision, and the communication was also interrupted, but the major general on the command plane knew that it would definitely not give up the fight easily, although the current fuel situation is not optimistic.

Sure enough, when the thunder and lightning reappeared in the sight of the command plane, it had already chased to 15 kilometers behind the enemy.The enemy formation did not fall into chaos, but the colonel must have been seen. One Su-30 was still flying straight according to the original route, but the other broke away from the formation and turned quietly to the north.Obviously within 1 minute, they will outflank the Thunderbolt, and Sammy needs to make a choice as to which one to keep up with.

The colonel chose to pursue the turning plane. He knew that in this conventional tactic, no matter which plane he focused on, the other plane would inevitably turn back, forming a 2v1. Song Ning came up with a problem.

The Eagle Squadron is indeed famous for being brave and aggressive. They didn't bother to think about why a single plane caught up with them. They directly responded with simple counter tactics. The squadron had just returned to Bareilly Airport from the south. It is preparing to continue to play a decisive role in the battle to defend the entire north.
