Chapter 1031: Fierce Air Battle

"Buzz~~"

The engine at the tail made a huge roar, and the old fighter was flying.

The tail was a fuel-consuming engine. The style of the fuselage was very similar to that of the MiG-21. The front end was still the old-fashioned nose air intake, but the wing in front of the wing was combined, indicating that this was a fighter that could change the wing sweep angle. At this time, its wings were straightened, and it had good low-altitude performance.

The Su-22 attack aircraft was a single-seat variable-sweep wing fighter/attack aircraft developed by the former Soviet Union's Sukhoi Design Bureau in the mid-1960s. It was an export model improved on the basis of the Su-17 and began production in 1976.

This was one of the models participating in the world's first air battle between variable-sweep wing fighters, and the other was the F14 fighter.

Bombs were mounted under the wings, indicating that this was a bombing mission.

In order to avoid the Pakistani army's anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and "Vanguard" air defense missiles on the battlefield, the Su-22 flew at an altitude of 6,000 meters.

The Su-22 attack aircraft was captured by the radar position, and the Pakistani army did not use the "Aegis" air defense missile to shoot it down. After all, an "Aegis" air defense missile is even more expensive than this Su-22.

Two J-6s were flying in the air, shining in the sun, like silver swallows, and two white smokes were pulled out behind the fuselage.

"Ding~~" After the two "Thunderbolt" short-range air-to-air missiles entered the range, the pilot pressed the launch button without hesitation after hearing the sound of the missile locking.

Under the wing, a puff of green smoke flew over, and the missile flew away from the launcher with a tongue of fire, flying forward continuously.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the Su-22 could be destroyed, the two pilots prepared another air-to-air missile at the same time. If this air-to-air missile missed the target, the next one would be launched immediately.

The Su-22 also discovered the two J-6s. The pilot felt a lot of pressure and also launched the only AA-8 "Aphid" infrared air-to-air missile mounted.

Just after the missile was launched, there was a sudden "boom!" sound from behind, and with the sound, countless red lights on the dashboard flashed.

Engine failure, hydraulic system failure, power loss.

The pilot's back was soaked. He tried his best to control the plane, but the missile damaged the engine, and the single-engine fighter had lost power.

The only thing that comforted the pilot was that the missile he launched also hit the opponent's J-6 fighter, and the J-6 fighter that was hit was falling down with billowing black smoke.

The pilot pulled the ring of the ejection seat and ejected the whole person.

Although even if he parachuted, he would most likely not be able to escape and would become a prisoner of the Pakistani army, there was always hope of survival.

If he didn't parachute, he would definitely die.

In the air, the pilot saw that his plane hit the ground, exploded, and turned into a huge fireball.

In recent years, the Indian Army has purchased a large number of Soviet-made weapons from the international arms market. There are thousands of Soviet-made aircraft alone, including Su-27 fighters!

The Pakistani pilot ignored the grief and pulled up the J-6 fighter and continued to fight, because there was another Su-22!

He must shoot down the Su-22, otherwise the Su-22 will cause great casualties to the ground forces.

As for fighting the Su-22, the Pakistani pilot is very confident.

After all, the bulky Su-22 is just an attack aircraft with limited air combat capabilities. Even with two missiles hanging on the wings, it is no match for the J-6.

The J-6 fighter is backward, but this is compared with advanced fighters.

The Indian Air Force is not equipped with advanced fighters!

Everyone is against generals, elephants, and guns!     Soon, the J-6 fighter intercepted the Indian Su-22.

The Pakistani pilot locked the Su-22 with a Thunderbolt missile.

As the Pakistani pilot pressed the button, flames emerged from under the wing and the Thunderbolt missile flew over.

"Boom!" The Thunderbolt missile exploded, and the fragmented warhead hit the engine and fuel tank. In the huge fireball, the Su-22 was hit and exploded in the air.

The Pakistani pilot did not have any joy, because at this moment, a special sound came from the headset, a rapid beeping sound, and finally turned into a long beep.

This was locked by the enemy's radar!

The original J-6 fighter naturally did not have a radar warning receiver. This was later modified for export to Pakistan, so that the exported J-6 had the ability to detect after being locked by the opponent's radar.

When the radar is locked and then guides the missile, a single pulse signal will be emitted. This signal is different from the scanning signal. It is based on this difference that we can know that we have been locked.

The Pakistani pilot did not hesitate. He pushed the nose of the plane, and the J-6 fighter flew with a roar and began to dive down, but it was to dive to get rid of it.

But it was too late. A missile hit the J-6 fighter and then quickly flew towards the Pakistani army.

This was a MiG-29 fighter.

Although the MiG-29 fighter is controversial because of its short legs, it does not mean that it is useless.

As a third-generation fighter, it is a third-generation twin-engine medium fighter according to the standard. It can carry no less than 6 air-to-air missiles.

In addition to the Soviet Union, more than 30 countries use it, and the total number of surviving aircraft has reached more than 1,600. In recent years, many countries have liked to introduce MiG-29 fighters.

The Indian Air Force is equipped with more than 150 MiG-29 fighters!

It is not easy to buy a Su-27 fighter, and the price is expensive. But it is easier to buy a MiG-29 fighter, and the price is still very cheap.

With its superior performance, this MiG-29 hunted down 5 J-6 fighters on the battlefield, and then quickly left the battlefield and returned.

As soon as the MiG-29 fighter left, four Indian MiG-23s appeared in the air.

The MiG-23 fighter is a supersonic jet second-generation fighter. It adopts a single-seat variable swept wing aerodynamic layout and is equipped with a turbojet engine. The outstanding performance of the aircraft is its high flight speed, reaching 2.35 times the speed of sound at high altitude, and an apparent speed of 1,350 kilometers per hour at low altitude. It also has good horizontal acceleration, which is conducive to low-altitude penetration, high-speed interception and post-attack detachment.

The aircraft first flew on June 10, 1967 and entered service in 1970. It was the main equipment of the Soviet Union's national air defense forces from the 1970s to the 1980s, and was also used by North Korea and Warsaw Pact countries.

In addition, there are two Su-22 attack aircraft.

Obviously, these four MiG-23s were escorting the two Su-22 attack aircraft.

The Pakistani Air Force aircraft came to intercept, and the four MiG-23s engaged in an air battle with the four Pakistani aircraft.

The two Su-22s attacked the Pakistani ground forces and dropped bombs one after another.

After dropping the bombs, the Su-22 did not participate in the air battle, but turned around and left. After all, the air combat performance of the Su-22 was very general, and it was mainly for ground attack.

The bombs dropped by the two Su-22 fighters caused great damage to the Pakistani army on the ground. Two Type 59 tanks were destroyed, and more than ten people were killed.

This scene continued on the battlefield. The war between the two sides was large in scale and strong in intensity. The losses were quite shocking.
