Chapter 125: J-6 takes off
In Peshawar, there is a dedicated line responsible for contacting the Afghan Free Army. When Fahim connected to the radio, the receiver transferred the phone to Markrako. There was no way. The person who spoke inside only believed in the Chief of Staff and had to talk to Mhamad.
Soviet planes flew past the Wakhan Corridor and carried bombs! They must have been here to bomb Pakistan!
The opponent flew through the mountainous area at an extremely low altitude, and no matter how many radars there were, they could not be discovered. Only early warning aircraft could detect fighter jets flying in at an extremely low altitude.
Fortunately, Fashim notified himself in time!
"The Soviet planes are about to invade our airspace and order the 15th Squadron of Peshawar Air Force Base to take off the fighter plane immediately!"
Mhamad's words made everyone nervous immediately. The Soviet planes would invade, but the radars on their sides still found nothing!
Peshawar Air Force Base.
The sharp alarm sounded over the base, and Anwar Hussein and Amjad Bashar, who were on combat readiness duty, picked up their flying hats and hurriedly ran towards their plane.
Pakistan's air force is modeled on the US formation. A flight squadron has more than 20 fighter jets, but these fighter jets cannot be on standby. Some are under hangar maintenance and some are undergoing training. However, in extraordinary times, there will be combat readiness on duty at any time.
The silver fuselage, hollow nose air intake, and a wing knife above the wings show that this is a very ancient fighter jet, the J-6 fighter jet supported by Eastern countries.
The history of this fighter can be traced back to the India-Pakistan War in 1965. At that time, the West imposed sanctions on Pakistan, and Pakistan could no longer obtain Western fighter jets. Later, it was the brothers from the East who solved the urgent problem and exported the J-6 fighter jets. Since then, this fighter jet has become Pakistan's main fighter jets.
After almost twenty years, this kind of fighter has long been behind, not even a second-generation fighter. The halo built on this kind of fighter is the first supersonic fighter, and it seems that there is no chance of winning in front of advanced Soviet fighters.
However, Pakistan Air Force soldiers wrote a song of triumphant with their passionate blood, proving that great saying, "It is still the one who decides the outcome of the war!"
After the West lifted the ban, the Pakistan Air Force added missiles to the J-6 fighter jet. The Aim-9p Rattlesnake missile under the wings is the main weapon of Pakistan's J-6. The NP-30 cannon is also a large-caliber machine cannon. As long as it can hit a shell, it can damage the enemy plane.
"Quick, hurry!" The two of them ran onto the plane quickly, stepped into the cockpit on the ladder, and then followed the ground crewman who ran over, watching the canopy cover slide to the front, and then determined that the security was locked.
The ground crew got off the ladder and moved the ladder away. A flame appeared at the tail of the two J-6s. Two turbojet six engines were started and the brakes were released. The two J-6s began to slowly slide towards the apron.
"Peshawar, request the formation to take off." Hussein shouted in the radio.
"You can take off." The sound of the tower came from the headphones.
Hussein turned on the afterburner, and the engine at the tail burst out with 32,000 bhp, pushing the J-6 forward quickly.
Feeling the horizons on both sides passing by quickly, without looking down at the instrument, Hussein gently pulled the operating lever backward. The entire J-6 suddenly felt lighter and the wheels had left the track.
Bashar, who was behind, pulled up with Hussein.
"Take the fuel tank." Bashar followed Hussein tightly. As soon as he flew away from the airport runway, Hussein's order came from his headphones.
As a wingman, he must faithfully execute the command of the chief machine. Although throwing the secondary fuel tank seems stupid, Bashar immediately pressed a switch on the right.
The turbojet engine is a super fuel-consuming engine. At the same time, the J-6 has a limited body. The oil capacity is not high, so almost every J-6 will have three secondary fuel tanks. When flying, use the oil in the secondary fuel tank first until it is exhausted or an enemy plane is found, and then the secondary fuel tank will be thrown down.
Now, it’s the first time that the secondary fuel tank has just taken off. Hussein’s purpose is to intercept quickly! Only by throwing away the secondary fuel tank can he be pulled up quickly!
Three auxiliary fuel tanks fell slowly from the wings and fuselage at the same time, and the fuselage lightened and quickly climbed up.
Although the J-6 seems to be very behind, one of the advantages of the J-6 is that no aircraft can compare with. After throwing away the secondary fuel tank, the J-6 has an unparalleled push-to-weight ratio!
The thrust-weight ratio is the ratio of the engine's thrust to the weight of the aircraft. The greater the thrust-weight ratio, the more powerful the aircraft will be. If it exceeds one, then the aircraft can climb effortlessly.
The J-6 engine is very backward, but the fuselage is light. Compared with swept-wing aircraft such as the MiG-23 and Su-24, the advantages are still very obvious. Even compared with third-generation aircraft like the F-16, there is a great opportunity to fight at low altitudes.
Now, after throwing away the secondary fuel tank, the J-6's advantage was fully utilized, and it quickly climbed to two thousand meters, and Hussein leveled the plane.
"Markraco, ask for instructions." Hussein shouted in the radio.
The atmosphere in the Macraco radar station was highly tense. The fighter planes taking off from the Peshawar base in the rear had already appeared on the radar screen, but the shadow of the enemy plane still did not appear.
Where was the enemy plane? Hamis began to suspect that Mhamad made a mistake.
"The report, there is still no target found." Crimi said to Mhamad.
"Guide the fighter jets of the 15th Squadron to fly along the Wakhan Corridor." Mhamad said, firmly believing in Fahim's early warning, and at the same time, he also firmly believe in his judgment.
The other party must still be flying along the Wakhan corridor! When they are about to approach the target, they will rise up and appear on their own radar screen.
"The direction of three o'clock is five thousand at a height." The instructor immediately issued a guidance order.
"I understand." With the sound coming from the radio, the two spots of light began to climb higher and turned at the same time.
Staring at the radar screen almost without blinking, Crimi felt her heartbeat keep accelerating.
Suddenly, four highlights appeared on the radar screen. The enemy and me recognizer did not respond, and it was an enemy plane!
"At three o'clock, four enemy planes were found, with a distance of fifteen and a speed of seven hundred!" As Crimi said, the atmosphere instantly reached an extreme tension.
"Order, shoot down the invading Soviet plane!" Mhamad said loudly. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
