Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 608 Adaptation and Maladaptation
Using the stealth capability to carry out a long-distance sneak attack from six o'clock has proved to be an effective tactic in the simulated confrontation, but the range of the medium-range missile and the interception distance of the missile's active radar somewhat restrict the tactical capability of the stealth aircraft.As for whether the missile launched by the F35 has a two-way data link capability, so that the fighter can still use the target position data of the active radar of the missile to keep track of the attacked fighter when the fire control radar is turned off, it is still unknown.At least in China's simulated warfare, if the stealth aircraft's cruising speed is fast enough, and there is an early warning aircraft or missile data link support, another fighter in the stealth aircraft formation can quickly seize the second attack position.

The Su-35 pilot's focus is on acceleration, which is a more practical way for the aircraft to get rid of such an attack.At the same time, the unique rear-view radar has been making automatic adjustments, including pulse repetition rate and electromagnetic wave band.Finally, a stealthy stealth plane made a sharp turn as it attempted to gain attack position, exposing it.

Apparently, an F35 is trying to occupy a new position that is favorable for attack, and conducts a second tail pursuit attack. In the area less than 35 kilometers behind the Su 30, it can be found that it has accelerated to Mach 35, which is comparable to the Su 1.5. At this moment, the American pilot on the F35 should also be very surprised, because he found that when the opponent fled, he could still be seen by the rear-view radar. The eagle eye from the sea has been identifying the target J-11 fighter.

In this round of technological confrontation, stealth capabilities encountered non-mainstream technical constraints.Su 35 chose simple acceleration and passive interference to destroy the missile attack, and the exposed F35 decided to slip away because he could not grasp the air situation in the northern region.

After chasing for a certain distance, the Su-35 rushed to the head of the Indian army stationed north of Hyderabad, which attracted the enemy's short-range missile tracking, but his high speed did not leave any chance for the unresponsive Indians, and the fighter plane quickly left The envelope of a surface-to-air missile.

The two suspected AIM2 missiles once approached within 120 kilometers, and finally lost their speed and fell down.

Liu Zhaolin found that the 35:35 exchange law between Su 1 and F1 that the Russians boasted was obviously unrealistic. If it wasn't for the terrain of Pakistan that restricted the enemy's performance, he might suffer a big loss today. Ning was also beaten down.However, this also confirms some weaknesses of stealth aircraft. Their own intelligence collection capabilities are insufficient, and they are highly dependent on system operations. How to use Pakistan's terrain to destroy their highly complex cooperation using data links is indeed worth studying.

Sammy had no time to worry about the fighting in the east, and now he was rushing through the last cloud cover, towards the small reflective dot in the sky. As the altitude increased, it became more and more difficult to control the aircraft, and the lift of the engine Can't keep it up.In addition, he must adjust the throttle valve at any time to prevent the engine from stalling.Such a sign has already appeared, the engine is continuously surging, and it is about to stop.

The high angle of attack jump further reduced the airflow through the compressor, accompanied by a violent jerk and a horrible thud from the rear of the plane.Sammy glanced at the engine speed and altitude. It has reached 1850 meters (nearly one kilometer beyond the limit altitude), but the single-digit numbers are still jumping rapidly, and the speed is regressing. The potential of the plane should still be there, but He also knew the engine wouldn't last long at its limit; on the plus side, the target itself was clumsy.

The radar has always been locked on the target, the vector mark on the HUD is wandering around the target, the plane is going straight to the target, he weighs whether to fire, maybe the plane climbs a little bit harder, it is more certain, but the lack of initial velocity of the missile may also cause some Adverse consequences.

He didn't wait any longer, but pressed the launch button intuitively. After a slight vibration, a puff of smoke covered his eyes and then dissipated. The 2 missiles were struggling to fly towards the target one kilometer above, and their speed picked up anyway.At the same time, he felt that the world calmed down, and the surge of the engine suddenly disappeared. He knew what happened. The vibration or smoke produced by the launch of the missile made the lingering engine finally stop.The speed of the plane is almost zero at this moment, that is to say, it will lose control in a blink of an eye.

He tried to keep the nose down and go into a dive so that the air flow was hard enough to restart the engine.For the Pakistan Air Force, every fighter jet is precious, and there is currently no high enough to parachute.

The plane rolled arbitrarily in the way of free fall, and then entered a tail spin. Sammy allowed the spin to accelerate, and then according to his feeling, at a certain timing when the nose of the plane was down, he pushed the stick once to recover, and successfully entered the dive state.But the problem is not over yet, he must restart the engine once in the air.

When the situation improved slightly, he looked back at his head, but unfortunately he didn't see the shattered cloud of smoke left by the missile explosion, and he couldn't see the traces left by the Global Hawk when it fell. The smoke in the air always dissipates quickly, maybe it didn't escape.

The cabin was filled with several different warning sounds at the same time, the first one was to remind the engine to stop.There were also reminders of low fuel and other problems. The plane was violently turbulent in the airflow. He tried to maintain control. The speed on the instrument was increasing rapidly, and the number on the altimeter was rapidly decreasing.Now he must try to make the aircraft vector consistent with the air intake, which is beneficial to the engine compressor that has been parked, and it will start running in the high-speed airflow. For this reason, he chooses to wait patiently for a higher speed, and at the same time, he has to move westward as much as possible. , find an airport where you can land.

The plane fell from the clouds, and suddenly saw the stretching yellow mountains below. The old man used emergency start and succeeded once.

On the radio, Song Ning asked about the situation, and the old man took this opportunity to ask whether the large U.S. drone had been shot down.Song Ning told him that he didn't see whether it was hit or not, but the drone dropped several thousand meters rapidly, and now it has changed its course and is flying towards Iran. It is guessed that it hit.The old man switched channels happily and connected with the ground airport. For him, today's battle was successfully concluded.

Song Ning had no reason to be happy. For him, the real challenge had just begun.Originally, he thought that his goal was only an Indian Air Force that was about to perish in the face of second-line operations, but the emergence of new enemy situations had to make him consider various dangers.

Of course, the long and narrow territory of Pakistan is indeed very unfavorable for the side attacking from the sea. This is probably the reason why the enemy considers using stealth fighters. Judging from the targets they attack, the first thing they attack is the ground long-range radar. Obviously this is their lock dreadful.The enemy will not tell you what they are afraid of, but as long as you are careful enough, you can still observe it from their action plan.

At present, if the US factor is added, things will become very uncertain.Although the ground radar is not completely invisible to stealth aircraft, most of the recorded moments of enemy aircraft's appearance are the moment when the opponent launches an attack, that is, when they open the magazine.

The Su 35's Snow Leopard-E radar has no advantage against stealth aircraft. Some conservative estimates at the beginning have been verified, but there is no surprise part. The stealth ability of the F35 Qianhemi is not that bad. I don't know how many stealth planes the enemy has invested in, nor when they turned back, and whether they cooperated with lowering the altitude when turning around; it might be better if there is a Su-35 with the nose facing south, but Song Ning's command just now, Somewhat inappropriate.

Throughout the battle, the enemy planes did not follow the rigid route like the F117 that broke into the sky over Belgrade. They were obviously observing the direction of the main lobe of the radar to adjust their posture. On the contrary, it disappeared.The above circumstances mean that even the Su 35 has a hard time grabbing a window of fire in front of a seasoned opponent.Some early judgments believed that the Su-35 had the opportunity to conduct a face-to-face shooting when the enemy turned on the radar or opened the magazine. Now it seems that the enemy is not stupid enough to fly head-on. In the mode of head-on attack, the tactics they formed are much more complicated.The attack that sneaked around to the back was more like a method that old ghosts like Sammy used well.

Now, instead of simply reviewing command, the most important thing is to solve the problem of special equipment.A new radar network must be established in the long and narrow strip of Pakistan, so that even if the enemy remains invisible in the air, they cannot move around, and their tactics will definitely be greatly constrained.

In the Sialkot area of ​​Pakistan, the sporadic and distant sound of anti-aircraft guns breaks the tranquility here once or twice every few minutes.

A day ago, the billowing torrent of steel had just passed by from the south. At present, a large number of supply convoys on the highway were heading east. This supply line was simply a thorn in Meneam's eyes.

Pakistan's 2 infantry divisions and most of its armored divisions have entered northern India at this moment. They seem to completely ignore the Indian army in Jammu. They may use the commanding heights of Sialkot to launch a counterattack at any time. Of course, the Indians are also confused. Is it a trap? The battlefield is currently not very transparent to them.

Yahini has been sitting on an earthen wall in an abandoned village northwest of Sialkot, looking out over the area where Indian troops are concentrating.Here is a commanding height, you can see the mobilization of the enemy outside the city.His tank has been hiding in the ruins of a nearby town, waiting for a new name.He knew that he must wait for the enemy's attack at Sialkot to fail before he could seize Jammu's last stronghold in Pakistan to the south.The military significance of Sialkot is far greater than that of the Fort, which is the same for both sides.

When the Indian army occupied Sialkot, in order to protect its periphery, it dispatched MiG 27s to razed the villages that might become guerrilla strongholds. Now these places have become the starting positions and observation posts of Yahini's hidden tanks.

According to Yahini's observations, there are always big loopholes in the Indian army's outer defenses. They are either dispersed or retreated very deep. It seems to be the result of fear of air strikes. There is no complete line of defense.From this, Yahini guessed that the enemy is not going to defend here, but will launch an attack from here. If it succeeds, then the rear of the Chinese and Pakistani troops entering northern India will be copied directly. Of course, this is as simple as a glance It is impossible for Lin Huaisheng not to know the situation that can be seen clearly.

In the sky, another small Indian drone flew fearlessly south, making a slight sound in the clouds. This was the 16th that Yahini had counted this morning.As the drone passed to the west of the village, Yahini could see it with binoculars.

They usually take off from the nearby Indian Army positions, so they fly very slowly and very low. Yahini checked his watch and saw that the frequency of enemy drones has increased, which is a sign of an attack.

As soon as he picked up the walkie-talkie and reported directly to a staff officer at the division headquarters, he found billowing smoke and dust in the direction of Yasirkot, which was a harbinger of the dispatch of mechanized troops.In the arid early spring climate in this area, dust will always be formed when the tracked vehicles move, so Yahini's troop mobilization will always be at night.

Looking through the binoculars, he saw the tall barrels of automatic anti-aircraft guns, appearing and disappearing in the yellow smoke.Near the railway platform in the north of the city, armored vehicles were moving clumsily, and he saw a huge and abnormal green silhouette, randomly disappearing behind the building.It seems to be a tank but I can't make out the model.

There are not many tank units in Meneam, and Yahini can almost recognize the model at a glance, but this is an exception.In particular, the Indian tank troops in Kashmir use yellow or white winter camouflage throughout the year to be highly adaptable to the local environment. Now it seems that some new things have been added to the sequence of this attack.

"Could it be those K1 tanks?" His first reaction was K1, but someone in the headquarters told him that according to the Chinese satellite reconnaissance, those mountain tanks were transferred to the vicinity of Leh to fight against the Chinese mountain tanks. , and Chinese intelligence is rarely wrong.

"01, here is a rock. The enemy is dispatching a mechanized army. Go south along the railway. You must be prepared."

"We've got the movement and we're waiting for them."

"What mission do we have?"

"The command didn't give you a mission, it just asked you to stay hidden and wait for the battle to start."

Someone from the staff said.

"In addition, a new type of tank was observed here. The turret is very large when viewed from the side, and it is not clearly seen. It uses a very conspicuous green camouflage."

"Maybe it's a false target made of wood. Indians like to do this best. They are afraid that others will not see it."

"It's near the railway, didn't the satellite see it? You can ask the Chinese."

"Bro, we're preparing for a bad fight, and it's not like you have time to waste."
