Chapter 991

New Delhi's peepers are really here.

And it's not one or two, it's a lot.

In addition to the jalalard, which is 220 nautical miles away from Karachi Port, there are two German donier-228 sea patrol aircraft belonging to the Navy and one Canberra electronic reconnaissance aircraft belonging to the air force flying back and forth along the 120 nautical miles exclusive economic zone (EEZ) outside Karachi Port, Pakistan.

Not only that, 400 nautical miles away from Karachi Port, an IL-78 aerial tanker just rented by New Delhi from Russia is cruising in the sky. Around it, eight SU-30MKI, which have not been in service for a long time, are following the IL-78 aerial refueling fuselage, showing a very sharp and fierce look.

"This is Pakistan's coastal air defense identification zone. You are threatening my flight safety. Please leave as soon as possible."

All of a sudden, the international communication broadcast of New Delhi's ships and planes sent a warning to the Pakistani pilots to drive away. Listening to the angry and urgent voice of Pakistan on the radio, major general monohan Anthony of New Delhi's air force in the IL-78 air tanker turned his lips disdainfully, and immediately looked at the side of the communication officer: "tell two Su-30s to go over and tell them, I'm sorry We are conducting live ammunition exercises in the air. According to international practice, if you don't want to be shot down, you should go away quickly. "

The communication officer, of course, understood that through the air command and communication system temporarily installed on the IL-78 air tanker, he assigned two SU-30MKI to drive out the crew.

The fierce SU-30MKI certainly won't miss this opportunity to show itself. They immediately separated two from the formation and went straight to the direction where the Pakistanis air force came. Soon, the two SU-30MKI were elated to return, and reported by wire transfer: "they were just two Chinese made J-7 fighters. They just saw our face and ran away. They even had the courage to compete with us None of them, so we sent a fire control radar to illuminate them when they ran away, which directly scared them to add force. According to the operational radius of the J-7, it is estimated that even if they land smoothly, the engine will be greatly damaged. "

Anthony couldn't help laughing. As the commander of the New Delhi air force, he certainly knew that the J-7 in Pakistan's hands was not much different from the MiG-21 they were equipped with. They were all famous for their short range.

This time, Pakistan's J-7 fighters had been trying their best to drive them out 400 nautical miles ahead. As a result, they were shot by the Su-30 fire control radar and directly started the afterburner. As a result, the already stretched voyage was greatly reduced. At that time, they would return without fuel support and only use the engine to idle. So it would be no wonder that they would not be damaged.

"Two more PAF planes are on the ground." Anthony sat in the command seat very proud said.

The adjutant on one side quickly unfolded the document in hand, looked at it carefully, and immediately responded with a straight line: "general, since last month, the attendance rate of Pakistan's coastal air force has dropped from 83% to 32%. The air force staff is worried that the Pakistan Air Force will deploy F-16 from the northern region to support the increasingly exhausted coastal air force."

"If the F-16 can really come, I can't wait for it."

Not only did Anthony not worry, he turned his head and looked at the SU-30MKI fleet, which was constantly changing its formation. He said confidently: "as the commander of the most advanced and most effective third generation heavy fighter force in the world, even if the U.S. F-22 comes, I can command the boys outside to beat it down. As for the F-16 Oh, forget it. "

As he said this, Anthony turned his face to several accompanying New Delhi media reporters and said, "gentlemen, we're going to have an aerial refueling drill later. Please polish the camera. This is the first time that the New Delhi air force has disclosed the whole process of the aerial refueling drill to the media in the history of New Delhi air force."

"Don't worry, general. We've been looking forward to this moment for a long time."

On the other side of the command post, the place where the aviation kerosene storage tank was originally installed has now been transformed into a media post. More than a dozen media reporters from New Delhi, large and small, wearing Air Force Flying suits, holding SLR cameras and cameras, are interested in shooting the so-called "training pictures" of eight SU-30MKI fighters outside through the porthole.

When they heard that the "air refueling training" was about to start, many media reporters were immediately excited. Despite the arrogant posture of SU-30MKI fighter, they still pressed down the idea of greed and began to check whether the film of the camera was enough and whether the video stock of the camera was enough.

Anthony smiles and looks back. Then he says the most important thing to the adjutant: "the question is, can Pakistan's F-16 really be transferred?"

Smell speech, the adjutant Zheng for a while, immediately wake up.

The F-16 deployed on the northern land border is really difficult to move south.

The reason is very simple. The number of Russian made SU-30MKI fighter planes and mirage 2000 fighter planes of the northern air force of New Delhi, which are facing each other, has reached 55.

If we take into account the MiG-21, MiG-23, Su-22, Jaguar and other combat aircraft, the total number is as high as 150.How many F-16s are there in PAF? It's just 40.

Even if the attendance rate is 80%, the number of F-16s that Pakistan can take off at any time is only 30. As for the rest of the j-7s, mirages and j-6s, no matter in quantity or quality, they can not compete with the New Delhi aircraft.

So it's good that Pakistan can support the land border with dozens of F-16s. Where else can it take care of the sea?

However, Pakistan does not, but New Delhi is able to handle it. The reason is very simple. New Delhi signed an agreement with Russia to introduce SU-30MKI fighters, and at the same time, it also purchased a production line. In the future, New Delhi will be able to produce SU-30MKI fighters without being controlled by others.

Now New Delhi's foresight has finally paid off. The second batch of "home-made" SU-30MKI fighters are not deployed in the elite air force near Pakistan's border in accordance with the past tradition, but are delivered to Anthony, a partial division in the coastal area.

In this regard, New Delhi's idea is very simple. Since the main force of Pakistan's air force has been dragged down on the land and border, Anthony's forces will be used to exert pressure on Pakistan at sea, which will eventually make it difficult for Pakistan to take care of and run.

As soon as the time comes, New Delhi can win the disputed Kashmir without any effort; even if there is no chance, Pakistan's combat aircraft will lose a lot of life.

In any case, New Delhi can make its own products and replenish the loss of its fleet at any time; Pakistan needs to import from the United States, and the United States has a very unstable supply mechanism.

In the next few years, New Delhi may take full control of the air supremacy in South Asia. At that time, it will not abuse Pakistan as much as it wants?
