第156章 多重拦截（2合1，5000字）(第12页)

Later that day, near Mansehra, an important town at the southern foothills of the Hindu Kush Mountains.

Radar operator Captain Arshad Khan had just completed the change of guard with his colleagues in the previous group and sat on the chair in front of the radar operator's desk.

As the closest air defense missile site to the Kashmir region, it has been used as one of the most important nodes in defending Iba since the 90s. It is equipped with a battalion of Hongqi 2A surface-to-air missiles introduced from China.

This type of model, which had shot down U2 many times, was no longer considered advanced in the mid-90s. The poor performance of its imitation prototype S75 Dvina in the Gulf War even forced the Chinese Air Force to pull it out again. The easily jammed Type 59 100mm anti-aircraft gun turned the anti-aircraft missile regiment back into an air defense regiment to deal with air threats under strong electromagnetic interference.

But in any case, this kind of liquid-fueled, anti-aircraft missile that even needs to be refueled before launch has a pretty good shooting height and range on paper, and the warhead is huge, so it does not need to hit the target very accurately.

Since the position itself has an altitude of about 4000 meters, this missile has hit an astonishing height of 2.8 meters in test firings.

For the Pakistani army, which is still unlikely to encounter high-intensity air threats like the NATO coalition forces, this is already the best anti-aircraft weapon they can get their hands on.

At least it can provide some actual sense of security to the big shots in Yburgh.

However, in the past year or two, the situation in Kashmir has obviously eased a lot. This may be because India's main weapons source country is in chaos and many equipment cannot be repaired and maintained smoothly.

Arshad yawned, turned around and slightly turned up the volume of the radio on the table behind him.

A match of his hometown cricket team was being broadcast there.

After the following rounds of competition, the scores of the two teams increased alternately, and the battle was very fierce.

"If this continues, the game may fall into a draw."

A fellow in charge of communications next to him was also paying attention to the score on the radio, with a bit of regret in his tone:

"We had a big advantage in the start."

As two countries with the same roots in the South Asian subcontinent, the discipline of the Pakistani army is basically on par with that of its old rivals. It is not a big deal to slip out of the army while on duty.

As a result, as soon as the correspondent finished speaking, the two home teams completed a beautiful pitch and successfully sent out an opponent's batter.

"I think if you say a few more frustrating words, we might win."

Arshad joked with his companions and glanced back at the radar screen out of habit.

A bright spot appeared on the screen and he suddenly became excited:

"Wait, there's a signal near the eastern border."

"What boundary? The next round hasn't started yet."

The correspondent was still immersed in the game. It was not until Arshad turned off the radio that he finally came back to his senses:

"Eastern border? Then why are you so nervous?"

The east side of Kashmir is the border area with China, which is basically in a completely free-range state. Their focus is still near the military demarcation line, which is also where the other side's air force most often carries out cross-border provocations.

"But this plane has an altitude of 18000 and a speed of 1100."

Arshad stared at the radar screen and frowned slightly.

This is by no means a height and speed that a civil aviation aircraft can reach, but judging from the opponent's trajectory, it is indeed just flying along the border in a regular manner.

"Perhaps a Chinese Air Force fighter jet is patrolling..."

The correspondent's voice became smaller and smaller midway through his words. It was obvious that this explanation was difficult for even him to convince.

"We have served here for six years. How many times have you seen their fighter jets in this position?"

Arshad rolled his eyes:

"Anyway, let the launch unit prepare first, refuel in advance, and then notify the battalion commander."

An important upgrade of the Red Flag 2A is the improved fuel tank. Although it still needs to be filled with fuel before use, it at least increases the lifespan. Therefore, the permission to refill the fuel command is delegated from the battalion commander himself to the officers on duty.

Of course, the launch order must still be issued by the battalion commander.

The combat command room suddenly became busy.

By the time this series of command and reporting processes were completed, the aircraft had already flown close to the actual control line.

"I hope it's just a false alarm..."

The correspondent, who sat back in his chair, looked at the bright spots on the radar screen and muttered to himself.

Almost as he said it, the target that was originally flying along the border suddenly changed direction and headed straight towards the north side of the dividing line in the southeast direction.

Feeling a little dizzy, Arshad suppressed the urge to gag his fellow countryman's mouth and ordered in a deep voice:

"Quickly notify Peshawar Base and Kamla Base and let them prepare to intercept the target!"

At the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Mukherjee, who was sitting in the cabin of the MiG-25RB, was happy because his little cleverness just now worked.

He did not rush directly into Pakistan's actual control area from the northernmost part of Kashmir. Instead, he disguised himself as a patrolling Chinese fighter jet and suddenly turned the direction of the plane's nose when he was about to reach the actual control line.

About a minute after he crossed the border, he received a notification that he had been tracked by an S-band fire control radar. The RWR (Radar Warning Receiver) showed that the source of the threat was SNR-75, but Mukherjee knew it was definitely It's the kind of Chinese imitation model.

Just about 30 minutes ago, another radar with almost identical signals scanned him, but it was unable to complete the lock because it was too far away.

Obviously, the legendary S300 does not exist. He made an extra circle because of an air defense system that may just be an improved SAM 2, wasting nearly half of the fuel and nearly an hour.

"Fortunately, I deceived them, otherwise it would still be a bit dangerous to rush directly to the anti-aircraft missile position..."

The lieutenant colonel said to himself happily.

Of course he had no way of knowing that the sluggish reaction shown by the other party was simply due to the radar operator's negligence.

In a few breaths, the MiG-25 climbed to an altitude of 2.2 meters, and the speed was still maintained at around 1100km/h. Due to tight fuel, Mukherjee could only turn on the afterburner at the most critical moment.

The Pakistani missile operators on the ground showed incredible efficiency and completed launch preparations in the shortest time through various operations that did not comply with the manual.

The air defense battalion commander was still reporting for instructions, but he found that the MiG-25 still had no intention of turning after crossing the entire Kashmir, but continued to rush towards Ibao.

He only hesitated for half a second at most before giving the launch order.

From the hexagonal launching position, two missiles shot straight into the sky with thunderous sounds and dazzling firelights.

The solid fuel booster can give the missile good acceleration capabilities. Although the highly toxic nitrogen-containing fuel is inconvenient to use, at least the working time is relatively long.
