Chapter 124 Su-24 Crossing the Border
The northern border of Afghanistan and Pakistan are high mountains, which are crisscrossing and the roads are rugged and difficult to walk.
The only passage is the Wakhan Corridor.
A group of people were walking in the Wakhan corridor, holding the donkey, carrying some boxes on the back.
"The weather is really good today." As we walked, the guerrillas were talking.
Fahim walked in front of the team. He looked at the sky in the distance and was not very excited. Such days were too monotonous. Moreover, it has been half a month since His Excellency Mhamad left Afghanistan last time and has not come back. He has only informed several times that the Soviet air force has been frequently active recently, not just Bagram Air Force Base, but also in the air bases in Turkmenistan and Tajikistan, Soviet planes have also frequently flew over Afghanistan.
The two regiments in the Jalalabad War Zone and the Panjshir Valley War Zone reduced their activities to prevent Soviet air strikes, and at the same time, they were more eager for weapons and ammunition.
Fashim knew that although he could not fight the Soviets, his work was more important. Only by transporting ammunition to the soldiers on the front line could he better attack the Soviets.
Suddenly, Fashim stopped and a strange roar came from a distance. He pricked his ears and in just one second he could hear the Soviet plane!
"Quick, disguise net!" Fashim shouted loudly: 3 "Control the donkey!"
The soldiers of the Third Regiment skillfully patted the donkey's back, let the donkey bend its limbs and lie on the ground, then quickly took out a disguised net from its bag, covering both the donkey and itself, and looking from the sky, it looked like a large stone with moss.
The donkey's ears were blocked by the soldiers with cotton to prevent frightening when they heard the roar of the plane.
Four Su-24s flew from the distant valley and flew quickly along the Wakhan Corridor. Under the wings, there were bright bombs hanging.
Was it coming to his side? Fashim held a poisonous sting that had just been placed on the ground in his hand. He waited quietly, and could not take the initiative to attack unless he had to. This was a transportation unit, not a combat unit. Once attacked, as long as the opponent was not beaten down, the opponent would retaliate violently. Even if his people could run away, these weapons and ammunition would be destroyed by the Soviets.
For high-speed fighter jets, it is very dangerous to see shuttles in the valley, but these four Su-24s are flying with ease.
Major Boelof looked out through the lens of his helmet. There were mountains everywhere, flying among the mountains. It was very dangerous. If he had a flight like MiG-23, he would not dare to fly at low altitude and high speed like this.
However, for the Su-24, this kind of flight is very easy. This fighter is the first fighter in the Soviet Union equipped with a terrain tracking system. It uses terrain tracking radar to ensure that the aircraft conducts low-altitude penetration at a speed of 1,320 kilometers per hour at a low altitude. When this fighter was developed, it mainly used low-altitude and large-meter speed assault to break through NATO's air defense circle and can carry nuclear bomb attacks.
Correspondingly, this fighter adopts the popular variable sweep wing design. Like the MiG-23, the variable sweep wing can be manually controlled at several angles.
Now. The swept wing is at 45 degrees, which is the best angle for cruise, risking being shot down by the power of the guerrillas on the ground, they flew at such a low altitude for this mission.
Pakistan blatantly supports Afghanistan. Now the rebellious forces in northern Afghanistan are increasingly endangering the Soviet troops stationed in Afghanistan. In order to maintain Afghanistan's stability, it is necessary to crack down on important goals in Pakistan that support Afghanistan!
Colonel Belov looked down at the picture tied to his knees. This was the target he was going to attack. Those white tents, people inside, would cross the border, enter Afghanistan, and become rebels at any time.
The two a1-21f dual-rotor afterburner turbojet engines at the tail were burning violently, and hot air flow gushed out, and the fighter jets whizzed through the mountains.
Damn Soviets! Fashim cursed. The roar of the fighter planes above his head frightened two donkeys. The two donkeys jumped out of the disguise net and ran towards the mountain on one side. Fortunately, the plane had already flew away at this time, otherwise the side would have to be exposed.
Two soldiers ran to chase the donkey, but one of them sprained his ankle and was non-combat-abundant.
Seeing the fighter planes flying far away, Fashim stood up and put away the disguise net. When instructor Mhamad helped them transform the disguise net, Fashim was a little unbelievable. What can these lines do? However, when the transformation was done, Fashim found that the effect was too good.
The instructor said that this is called a similar principle to the Geely suit. If such things are used to make clothes, the snipers are most suitable for wearing. Fashim deeply agreed that walking in the Wakhan corridor, his troops have used this method to deceive the Soviet fighter jets above their heads more than once.
"Continue to rush the road." Fashim shouted, pulling a donkey. Fashim took two more steps, and suddenly felt something was wrong. The two planes were flying east along the Wakhan Corridor. What's the use of flying like this? There were no targets in front, and they were flying so low, which was not a normal patrol, right?
Thinking of this, Fashim said to a radio soldier with a radio station on his back: "Hurry up, contact His Excellency Mhamad, the Soviet plane is about to cross the border!"
The radio soldier ran up to a mountain next to him and quickly took out his radio. Fashim followed behind and took out his microphone.
Mark Laco.
This is a big mountain, and it is very difficult to build a radar base on the mountain. In the absence of large helicopters, many of the radar components were brought up by people.
Even so, this radar station is still built. It is guarding near Peshawar, and the radar always monitors the movements in the direction of Afghanistan in the west.
When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, Pakistan felt great pressure. Soviet planes often flew across the border and proudly showed off their power over Pakistan. Until the Soviet plane flew away, Pakistan's air defense network was not discovered!
In order to make up for the mistake, Pakistan established two early warning radar stations in the Randikota region and the Alawari region. Both radar stations are large radars and are responsible for the task of discovering Soviet aircraft at the first time.
The mountainous environment has led to a very large blind spot for the radar, so Pakistan has established many blind radars in areas such as Swat and Milansha. These radars form an air defense network and guard the Pakistani sky vigilantly.
In addition to the aircraft used to detect Soviets, the radar station here in Markraco also undertakes the interception task of guiding the 15th Squadron of the Peshawar Military Region, which is very important here.
Although the rugged mountain roads make supply very inconvenient, the officers and soldiers in the radar station still stick to their positions.
Today, they were even more excited. Everyone shaved their beard carefully. They put on the regular dress they only wore during the military parade and waited at the door of the radar station.
Senior Warrant Officer Hamis looked at the straight team, and then looked at the mountain road ahead. Pan Jieshir Lion, the new chief of staff of the Peshawar Military Region, was coming here to inspect!
Several figures appeared on the mountain road, and Hamis immediately said to his subordinates: "We are all standing upright, the Chief of Staff is coming!"
"Chief of Staff Mhamad. The mountain roads here are rugged, and you have worked so hard." Major Crimi, commander of the air defense radar force of the Peshawar Military Region, said to Mhamad.
"This place is responsible for the mission of discovering Soviet aircraft. I have to come and have a look," said Mhamad.
When he became the chief of staff of the Peshawar Military Region, Mhamad knew that he had to do his duty, and the first thing he had to do was to be familiar with the various armies in the military region, especially the air force.
Yesterday, I just inspected the interceptor units at the Peshawar Air Base. The 15th Squadron of the Pakistan Air Force was stationed there. Although the morale was strong, Mhamad was inexplicably anxious when he looked at the row of old J-6 fighters on the apron. Compared with the Soviet fighter jets, these were already very behind.
In fact, although Soviet fighter jets have been constantly flying across national borders since the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, in order to avoid stimulating the Soviets, the Pakistan Air Force deliberately avoided fighting with the Soviets, at most they were driven out after discovering them.
However, Mhamad knew that with the continuous growth of the internal resistance of Afghanistan, the fighting nations that have always advocated violence were not limited to cross-border flights, but began cross-border bombing, even if it was limited to Afghan refugee camps and training camps and weapons support channels. This was also a complete invasion of Pakistan's airspace, and air combat between the Soviet Union and Pakistan would be inevitable.
The historical air confrontation between Pakistan and the Soviet Union occurred in 1986. At that time, when the internal resistance of Afghanistan grew, the Soviets rushed to attack Pakistan.
Now, it took Mhamad more than a year to integrate the forces in northern Afghanistan and establish the Afghan Free Army, which posed a serious threat to the Soviets. Although Mhamad no longer specifically commanded the Afghan Free Army, the three major legions are still expanding and fighting in constant battles. Mhamad is still the only person who can control the Afghan Free Army.
He was concerned about the battle of the Afghan Free Army and began to work hard on Pakistan's Western border.
Today, Mhamad came to the radar unit again. The radar was the eye for discovering enemy aircraft. The tactical level of the radar unit directly affected the air combat against the Soviets. (To be continued...)

I really can't stand it anymore. These days, the East China Hero has been updating every day. As a person who still has to work during the day, two updates per day are actually the limit. But now, the East China Hero has at least four updates every day. As we all know, the East China Hero's writings are all in 3k characters, and the fourth update is equivalent to the sixth update of people with 2k characters. Today is the second day of the college entrance examination. Yesterday I was too tired and felt uncomfortable, so I had to go to invigilator. So today I didn't have it, so I will be up to the third update!
