Chapter one hundred and eighty second swords drawn
Peshawar.
The atmosphere of war is very strong. The Soviet Union has filed a serious protest against Pakistan through diplomatic departments. The Pakistan Air Force crossed the border to attack Soviet fighter jets located in Afghan airspace. This is a naked provocation. The Soviet Union will take necessary measures to show that Afghan airspace cannot be violated!
Facing the protests of the Soviets, Pakistan is very rational. Pakistan has cited many examples. In the past two years, the Soviets have been invading Pakistan's airspace. Pakistan is also very angry. Please ask the Soviet Union to reduce this kind of airspace violation in the future!
Pakistan must do this. Although it was privately, even the president was very shaking his head. This time the Peshawar Military Region caused itself a big trouble and provided an excuse for the Soviets. However, after receiving the report at that time, Zia Hak had no intention of blame. After all, if his side did not fight back, three planes would be shot down.
Now, the gunpowder on both sides is full of gunpowder, and the battle will begin at any time.
It was in this case that the new delegation of the United States flew to the Peshawar Military Region. This time, they arrived not only by the Grumman Company, but also by several pilots from a carrier-based aircraft wing of the US Navy.
The leader is still John.
Mhamad didn't even have time to come to the airport to greet them. When John got off the plane, he immediately felt the strange atmosphere here. Is the war really going to begin?
Only one low-level officer greeted them, but fortunately they were familiar with the road, so after getting off the plane, they went straight to the war room.
"We arranged the intelligence personnel in Bagram and found that the Soviets had new fighter jets flying there." Mhamad said calmly: "This is a fighter jet with the same double-engine and double-vertical tail, with a wing body fusion and no variable swept wing. The belly of the aircraft is inhaled, and our personnel only took this blurry photo. From the photos here, we can judge that this is the latest MiG-29 fighter jet of the Soviets."
MiG-29! The Soviets actually sent MiG-29 to the battlefield in Afghanistan!
Now that the US-Soviet battle is in the battle, competition between the two sides is constantly underway. In the 1960s, the pre-research of the third-generation fighter jets had already begun. In response to the US FX plan, the Soviet Union proposed the corresponding PFI plan, namely "advanced tactical fighter jets". Later, the derived lpfi plan promoted the MiG-29 fighter jets. In 1972, the Soviet army proposed to the MiG Design Bureau to develop new fighters to replace the MiG-21 and MiG-23 in the Soviet army. The development officially began in 1974 and the test flights were tested in 1977. After several years of flight, it was finalized in 1981 and mass production began.
According to historical progress, this type of aircraft began to be equipped with troops in 1983, and the first to enter Eastern Europe. Now, these aircraft have been sent to Afghanistan first.
The Soviets were in Afghanistan. Facing Pakistan's air power, Pakistan's F-16 fighter jets only began patrolling the border in 1984, and there were not many battles with the Afghan Air Force. Therefore, the conflicts between them were not severe, and the Pakistani Air Force was not able to protect the airspace in the mountains. Now, with the arrival of powerful Tomcat fighters, with the arrival of e-2 early warning aircraft and ec-130h electronic jammers, Pakistan's air superiority increased greatly, and the Soviets had to send more advanced models into Afghanistan. This became a bridgehead for the US-Soviet battle.
After saying that, Mhamad looked up and saw John and others standing at the door, and immediately said, "It is our American allies here. Let us welcome them with warm applause."
With the applause, Mhamad walked to John and said, "I'm very sorry, new situations have occurred. The battle may happen at any time. I didn't go to the airport to greet you."
"It's okay." John said: "The Soviets are now aggressive and have a tendency to invade Pakistan. Our United States will never tolerate such incidents. All missiles ordered by your country will arrive one after another within these days. Our government has decided to support you with an additional fifty Immortal missiles and one hundred Aim-9l fighting missiles. In current air combat, the missiles are consumed very quickly. The A-7 attack aircraft will also arrive soon."
It is not that the United States is kind-hearted, and fierce air combat is about to happen, and missile consumption will be large. At this time, the United States will no longer be fooled. After all, the Soviets' intentions are very obvious now, and they are to expand the situation.
The negotiations for the A-7 attack aircraft have ended, but the Americans have been delaying and are unwilling to deliver quickly. Faced with the current situation of the Soviets, the United States immediately quickly carried out the export of the A-7.
"Thank you for your support, you are our loyal ally," said Mhamad.
"This is Colonel Gritt, the 67th Carrier-Board Aircraft Wing. This time, we have sixteen naval officers following us. If you need it, they can also change into your military uniform and fly the Tomcat fighter jets to the air." John continued.
"Very welcome, sincerely welcome our friends." Mhamad said.
The last time the U.S. personnel were mixed with naval personnel, but they were all maintenance personnel. This time, they were completely Tomcat pilots. Mhamad knew what they meant. They did have the desire to fly fighter jets. The U.S. Navy has been equipped with Tomcat fighter jets for so many years and has never fought a decent battle.
The direct confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union will lead to a terrible ending, such as the Cold War turning into a hot war and a nuclear war. However, the secret battle has always existed. During the Korean War, many Soviet pilots changed into military uniforms and fought with the Americans in the air, and both sides were tacitly aware of it.
Nowadays, Americans have the same mentality. No matter what purpose they have, in short, Americans are willing to fly planes to fight when they need it, which is indeed helpful for Pakistan.
"Col. Grit, welcome your arrival." Mhamad said: "In this most tense time, you are our closest friends in Pakistan. Let us fight side by side!"
"It's a great honor," Gritt said. "Now, let's continue to talk about the MiG-29, let's have a meeting with you."
American carrier-based aircraft pilot sat down and looked at the pictures on the slide projector.
"In Afghanistan, the Soviets arranged two advanced aircraft, the MiG-29 and MiG-31. Next time they provoke, they will definitely be deployed at the same time." Mhamad said: "The MiG-31 has a powerful radar system and data link. They are likely to act as early warning aircraft in the rear this time to command the fighter jets in front, and at critical moments, use long-range missiles to attack our fighter jets. And the MiG-29 has excellent maneuverability and will break into our sight range under the command of the MiG-31 and fight us."
This is a method created by the Soviets. In addition to long-distance interception, the MiG-31 can also act as an early warning aircraft. The phased array radar is so excellent.
The MiG-29 has very powerful maneuverability.
"It should also be noted that the maneuverability of the MiG-29 is far superior to that of previous Soviet fighters. Moreover, their aiming system is also very powerful. In addition to relying on radar, there are also photoelectric sighting devices at their noses. Moreover, they are also equipped with helmet sighting lenses to coordinate with missiles. As long as the head turns towards our fighter jets, it means that the missile also tracks our fighter jets at the same time and can be launched at any time." Mhamad continued.
The MiG29 is a very flexible fighter, with its rolling angular speed reaching 250 degrees per second. The pitch angular speed reaches 30 degrees per second. These data have exceeded the heavy air combat fighter F-15. In particular, it can also use a helmet scope to quickly aim at the target and attack, which is a unique advantage of the Soviets.
Although the R-73 off-axis close-range missile that cooperates with the helmet scope was only equipped with the troops in 1987 in history, the trial production work had already begun. Mhamad was worried that if they brought missiles in this test state to the Afghan battlefield to test their combat performance, it would pose a great threat to their troops.
"Mr. Mhamad, do you say they have helmet sights?" Colonel Grit asked Mhamad.
"Yes." Mhamad said, knowing that these Americans were going to ask this question. If it weren't for reminding his pilot, Mhamad wouldn't have said all of these. Although the helmet sights are still in the early stages, and the size and weight are not small, they are still a new and effective way of aiming, and in a sense, it is even a revolution.
"How did you know?" Colonel Grit continued.
"We have our own eyeliner in Bagram," said Mhamad. He had long thought of refusing to say this. "You should also have your own channels. Do you know this new type of fighter jet of the Soviets?"
Although I have taken many photos with satellites and taken photos of the other party’s flying helmet, the United States does not know what it is. Now when I hear Mhamad say, I suddenly realize that in this case, I must not embarrass my country.
"Yes, we know, too." Colonel Gritt said.
