To the east of Qiaogoli Peak, Chinese airspace is 50 kilometers north of the border.

A large disc on the back and a vertical tail wing with a bright Chinese Air Force logo is soaring at an altitude of 8,500 meters. As the electronic scanning antenna runs at a speed of every five seconds a week, every five seconds, dense light spots appear on the lower half of the twelve tactical displays, one of which is very bright and eye-catching.

That was a "compatriot": the Indian Air Force's A-50i early warning aircraft.

Like the "KJV 2000", the Indian Air Force's A-50i also uses the Il-76 transport aircraft as a radar carrier. The difference is that the A-50i is equipped with a large phased array radar developed by Israel for the "Felcon" early warning aircraft, rather than a radar developed by India. The solid-state electronic scanning radar of the "KJV 2000" type is comparable to the "Felcon" radar, and the detection distance of large targets exceeds 550 kilometers. It can detect hundreds of targets at the same time and track dozens of targets, providing tactical guidance information for twelve fighters. The two also have common disadvantages: the detection performance of ultra-low-altitude targets over rugged terrain is not ideal.

In order to make up for this defect, the "KJV 2000" model installed a large active phased array synthetic aperture radar on the belly of the aircraft, which is specially used to detect targets of ultra-low altitude flight and can also be used to survey and map terrain.

On the contrary, the Indian Air Force, which lacks self-developed capabilities, cannot provide similar equipment for the A-50i.

There is no doubt that the Indian Air Force's early warning aircraft also discovered the "co-peers" in the north.

It’s just that China did not participate in the war and was active in China’s airspace, so the Indian Air Force could only sigh.

Similarly, the Indian Air Force cannot prevent Chinese early warning aircraft from providing tactical intelligence to Pakistani fighter jets.

In fact, the Pakistan Air Force also dispatched a "Saber-2000" early warning aircraft purchased from Sweden to patrol the east of Islamabad to track and monitor the combat aircraft of the Indian Air Force. The problem is that the detection distance of the "Ericsone" radar on the "Saber-2000" is only a pitiful three hundred kilometers, and it "sees" an Indian early warning aircraft less than 450 kilometers away.

To kill Indian early warning aircraft, you have to rely on tactical intelligence provided by the Chinese Air Force. However, this is not enough.

To the north of Srinaga, north of the Indian-Pakistan ceasefire line, 18,000 meters above the altitude of 18,000 meters. The "Vulture" unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is soaring leisurely at a speed of 320,000 meters per hour.

At this time, the "Vulture" is performing two tasks at the same time. One is to act as a tactical communication transfer station. The "Air Police 2000" collects tactical intelligence to the ground to transmit to the Pakistani "Thunder" fighter jet where the combat mission is performed. The other is to use millimeter wave to synthesize the aperture radar to map the terrain to provide accurate navigation information for Pakistani fighter jets.

In the southwest direction, four "Thunder" fighters were shuttled through the valley.

On the Thunder fighter plane in the front, Major Hardiff tried his best to barely control the fighter plane like a wild horse.

Thirty-five minutes ago, Major Hardiff was flying three large sub-fuel tanks, six medium-range air-to-air missiles, and two fighting missiles. He took off urgently from Rawalpindi Air Force Base and had just left the airport. Four fighters reduced their flight altitude to fifty meters.

Half a year ago, Major Hardiff began ultra-low-altitude flight training with three other pilots.

At that time, he thought this was to carry out in-depth strike missions in war. After all, ultra-low altitude flight is the most effective means to break through the air defense network.

Now Hadiv doesn't think so anymore. They are not performing ground-to-ground tasks, but air-to-air tasks.

The fighter planes carry all air-to-air ammunition, so it is impossible for the Pakistan Air Force's most expensive fighter plane to use machine guns to strafuse the ground targets.

Within thirty-five minutes, the four fighter jets successively threw away the secondary fuel tank under the hanger on the inside of the wing.

According to the route sent through the tactical data link, the four fighter jets adjusted their course eleven times within thirty-five minutes, and turned almost every three minutes.

Gradually, Major Hardiff discovered that they had been flying in the valley!

What he couldn't understand was where the tactical navigation data came from.

At first, he thought it was provided by the ground command center or early warning aircraft. After entering the Kashmir Indian Control Zone, Hadiv didn't think so.

It is impossible for the ground command center to know the situation ahead, and the radar on the "Saber-2000" early warning aircraft cannot detect the situation here. More importantly, neither of them can provide the fighter with accurate navigation information to meters.

It is certain that some other force will provide support later.

All Hadiv can think of is the Chinese Air Force.

After flying over a pass, the fighter turned again. The flight altitude had been reduced to less than fifty meters, and the right wing tip of the fighter was less than twenty meters away from the cliff. Even the skilled aerobatic pilot did not dare to take it lightly at this time. If the control error is made, it only takes 0:00 a second. The fighter with a flight speed of more than one thousand kilometers per hour will hit the cliff on the right!

As he flew over the next pass, Hadif clenched his teeth.

There are steep mountain walls in front, and the route on the main monitor on the front is like a twisted earthworm. The course must be adjusted almost every few thousand meters. Each time, it must be very accurate. If there is a slight mistake, the plane will be destroyed and people will be killed.

Half a year of hard training and more than 5,000 hours of flight experience played a decisive role.

Hadiv served in the Pakistan Air Force for twenty-one years and flew six types of aircraft, four of which were fighters. He flew over 1,500 hours on the Thunder fighter. The other three pilots were not inferior to Hadiv, and even better. Hadiv served as the chief aircraft mainly because he had a higher rank and participated in the Kashmir conflict eight years ago and had practical experience.

Before entering the last route, Hadiv threw away the auxiliary fuel tank on the abdomen of the fighter.

The internal fuel tank of the Thunder fighter is equipped with 2,400 kilograms of fuel, which is enough for the fighter to fly 2,400 kilometers and enough for them to return to the base.

Without the interference of the secondary fuel tank, the fighter's aircraft has become more sensitive and easier to control.

After flying for a few more minutes, the red indicator light above the main monitor lit up. Hadiff quickly glanced at the screen and a vertical route map appeared on it, and an icon for launching a missile was attached at an elevation of five hundred meters relative to the height of 500 meters.

What command is this?

Hadif didn't think much about it, immediately pulled up the fighter plane, and at the same time completed charging the missile, inputting the middle-section inertial guidance information that had just been received into the missile guidance system. Finally, he turned on the missile safety and lifted the shield on the missile launch button on the top of the joystick.

As soon as he reached the launch altitude, Hadiv pressed the missile launch button.

In less than five seconds, all four medium-range air-to-air missiles hung under the wings on both sides were fired out.

Seeing the tail smoke pulled out by the missile, Hadiv immediately pressed down the joystick and reduced the flight altitude to less than one hundred meters according to the new route provided by tactical navigation information.

At this time, a set of countdown data appears on the screen.

Based on years of experience, Hadiv knew that this was the time when the missile hit the target, to be precise, the time when the missile entered the self-guided phase.

Just a few seconds later, a new prompt message appeared on the screen.

Only then did Hardev understand the entire tactical process.

The sixteen medium-range air-to-air missiles launched by the four fighter jets will approach the target along the set flight route with inertial guidance. About fifteen seconds before the missile enters the self-guided stage, the fighter needs to illuminate the target with fire-controlled radar. After receiving the radar waves launched by the target, the missile enters the self-guided state and actively attacks the target under the guidance of the self-guided control system until it hits the target.

Very advanced and extraordinary tactics.

Hadiv had to admire the pilot who came up with this tactic. He also realized that this was by no means the tactics of the Pakistan Air Force, but the tactics of the Chinese Air Force. In the Pakistan Air Force, there are not many pilots better than Hadiv, and the Pakistan Air Force has never used such tactics.

With ten seconds left in the countdown, Hadiv turned on the radar power and the fighter began to climb high.

The Thunder fighter jumped into the sky at a speed of 240 meters per second. When the countdown reading jumped to one, Hadiv activated the radar to allow the radar to work in automatic air combat mode.

A very obvious and dazzling target immediately appeared on the radar screen.

Indian Air Force's A-50i?

Hadiv was secretly shocked. He had never expected that the Indian Air Force's early warning aircraft was about 45,000 meters above him. Before that, Hadiv never dreamed that he could use missiles to attack the Indian Air Force's early warning aircraft! If conventional tactics were adopted, even if forty Thunder fighters were dispatched, they might not be able to get close to the A-50i and launch air-to-air missiles at it.

When Hadiff and three other pilots were shocked, the fire control radar had automatically completed all the work.

After confirming that the missile had locked the target, the four "Thunder" fighters immediately dived and accelerated.

The radar warning plane screamed, and the "Thunder" fighter drilled into the valley like a dart. Thirty kilometers away, four Su-30mki fighters escorting the A-50i had just used their radar to lock the four "Thunder" fighters that suddenly appeared. Before the pilot pressed the button to launch the missile, the four "Thunder" fighters disappeared from the screen of the fire-controlled radar without a trace.

Sixteen "Pili-12" air-to-air missiles were like sixteen lightning bolts, piercing the interceptor network of Indian fighter jets.

Faced with the Su-30mki fighter worth hundreds of millions of dollars, the sixteen missiles turned a blind eye and were completely indifferent. In their eyes, the A-50i was the most valuable target.

Twenty seconds later, these overly enthusiastic missiles will give the a-50i a fatal kiss.

Hadiff never thought about whether the A-50i would be shot down.

Not to mention bulky early warning aircraft, even agile fighter aircraft cannot avoid the encirclement of sixteen medium-range air-to-air missiles.

When the a-50i was broken down into tens of thousands of pieces under the passionate kiss of the "Suitor" and spread to the ground one after another, the "Thunder" fighter jets flying by Hadiv and his three wingmen had already run over ten kilometers.

On "Kilo Police 2000", Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing looked at the tactical screen in amazement.

After witnessing the air commander of the Air Force completed the entire set of tactical commands, Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing's first thought was not the unlucky A-50i, but the incident inexplicably shot down by the Air Force J-10 during the exercises over Qinghai Lake. Only now do they know how powerful the Air Force's new tactics are.

It's really extraordinary and unimaginable.
