Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 588 Aerial Siege
Song Ning knew that even the oil tanker was a priority target that had to be dealt with, and the enemies in Fortress were suffering from an oil shortage.However, fighter jets from the Indian Lion Squadron appeared in the east, and the J-10C had not yet arrived. At this moment, one of the wingmen needed to monitor Jammu in the northwest, and the other had to turn around and head east to deal with the new threat.

Now he can only condescend to carry out this attack on his own. He has two 2 kg laser guided bombs, which are very suitable for such a task. .

The J-10 fighter leaps quickly over the target, then pulls up to complete a somersault, gaining some altitude.

It is quite difficult and dangerous for a single aircraft to carry out laser-guided bomb attacks in areas with unknown threats.When two aircrafts drop bombs, the bombing aircraft can drop the bombs and fly away calmly like a gust of wind, indicating that the task can be completed by an aircraft at another altitude.However, when a single plane flies bombs, it is easy for the plane to pass the target ahead of the bomb, causing the laser pointer to be lost.It can only fly around the target after dropping the bomb and keep it illuminated. This kind of flight is bound to slow down, and it is easy for the enemy to predict the next position. risk.

The area below is still under the control of the Indian ground forces. He did not notice any danger on the dark ground, and the radar alarm did not detect any abnormalities, so he entered the attack angle from 6500 meters and took a little time to find the target again (somersault after losing the target).According to the principle of air strikes, the attack point is set on the first vehicle.This can cause a sea of ​​flames to block the way. If the Indian drivers of the tank trucks behind choose to drive off the road in the dark, they will probably break down in the uneven wilderness.

The early warning aircraft continued to remind him that there might be Indian small-caliber anti-aircraft guns or portable anti-aircraft missiles below, and he hummed to indicate that he received it.

The early warning aircraft could not stop his actions, at least Major General Sami was not on the radio, no one could interfere with him.Of course, if Sammy was around, it wouldn't spoil anyone else's adventure.

For the air force, the dark night has brought many difficulties in identifying targets; but for the air defense forces on the ground, it is not a bad thing. They can find targets in the air more easily by visual inspection.

The Indian air defense force lurking in the field escaped Song Ning's radar search because they stood still.

The Armor S 8 system on an 8X1 truck chassis, capable of independent combat, is waiting for an opportunity.

The commander has noticed that there are planes in the sky for a while. It was a drone before, and it appeared near the highway. Now it is a jet plane, but he dare not use the search radar, for fear of alarming the target. Judging from various movements, at least There are 2 fighter jets, near and far.One can be seen occasionally, the other can only be heard.

The Indian commander has already contacted the headquarters of Fort *** and confirmed that there will be no aircraft of his own side in the air in this area, which makes him no need to identify friend or foe, but another problem is ranging. He must ensure that the enemy The aircraft enters a relatively reliable distance and strikes.

The photoelectric system can complete the tracking, but it cannot accurately measure the distance. In principle, he should at least use the top, rectangular phased array search radar to roughly confirm the air situation. This radar is still idling and does not emit radar waves to search.

The first-stage propeller of the armored missile can only perform a short ignition acceleration, and then the missile flies to the target by inertia. To deal with the dexterous fighter, it is necessary to accurately grasp the timing of the start-up. If it makes a mistake, it will be fatal.

For the time being, the commander used the TV tracking system to track the target that turned down. It is expected that the enemy's bombs must avoid the clouds, which is the best chance for him to start the machine.He doesn't care if the tank truck on the road is destroyed, he just wants to see his target clearly as soon as possible.

On the TV screen, the crosshairs were aimed at the enemy plane. After magnification, the model could almost be judged from the outline. The Indian commander kept his hand firmly on the button.The enemy plane began to slow down, apparently circling around the target.It's a pity it's going away from me, anyway, a decision has to be made.

"It should be within 5 kilometers, start the machine."

He whispered to his companion next to him.

The fire control radar, which rotates coaxially with the optical tracking system, quickly aimed at the enemy plane and intercepted it. The distance was 7.5 kilometers, and the launch entered the irreversible countdown stage.

Song Ning sensed the centimeter-wave radar illumination in the air for the first time, and he estimated that the enemy was very close, so close that the rescuers were under their noses.

Instead of maneuvering away immediately, he waited a few seconds longer for the bomb to hit the target.During this time, the radar warning system identified the radar signature as the Tunguska M1 system and measured an approximate bearing.Of course, he didn't believe it was Tunguska. The troops that the Indians put in in the mountains of Fort are usually equipped with a system like the lighter armor S1.

A fire broke out on the calm road, and the bomb hit the tanker accurately.Song Ning took advantage of the situation and pulled up the fighter plane, trying to stay away from the ground air defense system.

2 missiles soared into the air and pierced straight.

The warning system detected the signal from the command antenna coaxial with the illuminating radar, confirming that the enemy had opened fire.

Song Ning found that his speed and altitude were very reluctant. Of course, he first fired chaff to passively interfere with his centimeter-wave radar, and at the same time carried out electromagnetic interference. This kind of hasty interference is not easy to damage radar tracking (actually The enemy can even be tracked by TV, manually locking the target within the radar aperture), but perhaps can disrupt radio commands.Bad twenty, he didn't know how far away the enemy was when he fired. He could only see light spots in the distance hovering and rising. He guessed it shouldn't be too close, otherwise he should use the cannon.

He still has the last move, which is to maneuver and evade, but he can't use it yet, he knows that he must wait for his plane to accumulate a little speed.

Song Ning looked back and found two light spots falling downwards. They were just the first-stage propeller thrown away by the missile. The most frightening thing now was that he couldn't see the missile there.He thrust the bar straight into the ground, a last-ditch effort he had seldom seen so blindly.

The missile did not get the instruction to correct the route at the first time, and it flew straight into the sky, but in an instant, it got rid of the interference and turned to the J-10B.However, that tenth of a second timing is fatal, enough to make them miss the turning opportunity, and now the missile must turn hard with a huge overload, which greatly reduces the speed of the missile, which relies on inertia and approaches the target.The constant turns drained the kinetic energy, and eventually the attack failed.Two missiles crashed to the ground in the night sky.

Indian commanders found that jamming into the main radar lobe just once, which was corrected in time, also caused the missile to miss its target.He realized that there was something wrong with the timing of his power-on, and he was a little far from the target.

He ordered loudly, turned on the search radar, and prepared for the last fight.

Song Ning recovered from the great fear, how could he let this enemy go?Whether it is Tunguska or armor, its priority is far higher than that of tank trucks or even Caesar artillery.He asked the early warning aircraft to immediately transfer a J-10C coming from the west to his side to carry out the bombing.

The Indian commander, frightened by the airborne enemy detected by the search radar.In a circular area with a radius of 30 kilometers above his head, there are a total of 5 clear enemy planes, and there are sometimes clear and sometimes distant targets on the edge.Among all the options, fleeing by car is obviously the most wrong decision, as it is easy to be filtered out by the enemy's radar from the immobile ground, and at the same time lose the ability to counterattack.In the end it was like what happened to those tank trucks on the road.

"Ready for battle! Watch us scare them off."

Surrounded by planes, this lonely 8-wheeled truck was determined to put all its eggs in one basket. Its huge launch tower carried the remaining 10 missiles and two anti-aircraft guns, and began to rotate, ready to deal with the nearest target.

If the commander is clear-headed, he should have foreseen that this is a confrontation that must be defeated, or turning off the search radar, abandoning the vehicle and fleeing is a relatively safe solution.If the enemy plane returns, it can be driven back. Anyway, there are no enemy ground troops in this area.But they chose the most heroic and solved the problem with 1 enemy 5.

"507, quickly go to the designated location to drop the bomb, and I'll point out the target." Song Ning directly called the J-10C on the radio.

"Understood. Arrive immediately."

Song Ning raised the altitude of the plane enough to avoid the threat of the target. He could no longer perceive the existence of the enemy's fire control radar. The enemy's search radar could only scare himself at this moment, and could not guide the missile.He flew through the clouds, looking for gaps in the clouds, and again used the night vision system to see the target.After finding the outline of the target, he confirmed his previous judgment that it was indeed a newly purchased armor S1 from India. This is the enemy of all pilots, so he quietly fired a beam of laser light at the target.

The Indian commander mistakenly pointed the fire control radar at another J-10B approaching from the side at high speed. This was actually just a feint. Facing the trapped beast in the center of the stage, the boys decided to use all their strength , put on a show.

Electronic interference destroyed the enemy's range-finding capability, and the armor system began to fire into the air with two 2mm cannons, but they couldn't reach the target at all.

What frightened the Indian commander even more was that in such a blink of an eye, 15 more enemy planes appeared on the radar screen. He knew that some of them were illusions caused by electronic interference, but he couldn't tell them apart for a while.

The Indian Army scattered these expensive equipment and put them into the wild to conduct a sneak attack attempt.There are some idealizations in the planning. In principle, this highly integrated weapon has independent combat capabilities, but lacks sufficient intelligence support. Relying solely on the weak power supply capability of the Armor S1 itself, how can it be possible to conduct long-distance search, and it is also impossible to conduct a battle with the opponent? Electronic Warfare.

Now this anti-aircraft weapon aims all the weapons and antennas that can be erected at the targets in all directions, like a lobster with its teeth and claws, but it can only be beaten.

The J-507C fighter jet with call sign 10 flew directly from high altitude into the blind spot of the enemy's search radar.The first time the pilot went into actual combat, he picked up a big bargain, and the commander Song Ning gave him a direct shot; all he needed to do was follow the procedure, find a clear indicator light spot on the display, and then turn on the weapon safety. Power on and drop bombs, just like a drill.

After the plane finished dropping the bomb, it flew away from the target at the speed of sound. From the beginning to the end, the main attacking plane was not threatened.

After a long falling process, the bomb hit the head of the Armor S1 system, blowing it into a pile of scrap metal.

The fighter jets of the Indian Lion Squadron that appeared in the east, after a few rounds of testing each other with the J-10 and irradiating them with radar, returned angrily. The performance of this unit has never surpassed Sami's evaluation of him.

It was late at night, and the snowy Jammu Railway Station was still bustling. General Olinde waited excitedly for his K1 tank.Although it is much less than planned, it finally has weapons to fight against the mountain armored soldiers of the Chinese army.

Lieutenant General Olinde is not a person who easily admits defeat. Although the assault he planned before caused most of the regiment's troops to go without returning, he rashly attributed the failure to the fact that the enemy had tanks, and he did not have this point, just like In the past, he also used the enemy to have 155mm artillery, but he did not, to make excuses for earlier failures.Now that he has obtained a monster-level weapon that is 20 tons heavier than his opponent's mountain tank, he really has reason to be confident in the next battle.

On the steaming battle platform, an oriental-looking officer was directing the unloading of trucks. His cold military uniform was different from that of the Indian troops, and his prophecy was even more cadenced. He seemed to complain about the slow motion of the Indian soldiers.

"This is Lieutenant Colonel Yoon Cheol-hee. An advisor to the Republic of Korea, he is an active-duty officer and serves in their most elite armored unit of the capital division." A translator pointed out to Meneam.

"Well, East Asians work more diligently. Go over and have a look."

The lieutenant general walked over and shook hands with the South Korean officer.The two seemed to hit it off, and immediately brought the topic to the upcoming battle.

"Lieutenant Colonel Yin, do you think there is anything special about the new Chinese tanks?"

"It's a reduced version of the Type 99, and its firepower and armor have been reduced a lot. In order to adapt to mountain combat, they have reduced the weight of the vehicle too much. This will obviously lead to consequences that outweigh the gains." The lieutenant colonel said proudly .

"Oh? So it is. You think the design of Chinese tanks is flawed?"

"Hahahaha." The Korean lieutenant colonel suddenly stopped and laughed, which surprised the Indian lieutenant general.

"Of course. Our Republic of Korea is the ancestor of mountain warfare. This is recognized by the whole world." After the lieutenant colonel finished speaking, he waited impatiently for the translation. Obviously, there were other grand theories to be published.

"Although you India is very big, you have never taken advantage of the Chinese on the battlefield, and naturally you have no experience in how to win, but we are different. We defeated China ruthlessly 1000 years ago, so they They are still afraid of us."

"Is that so?" Olinde is not used to others showing off in front of him, but this person seems to have a temper with him. Of course, he has never studied the history of East Asia, and he doesn't know how South Korea defeated China 1000 years ago.
