When the attack aircraft group passed over the task force, four universal destroyers broke away from the formation......

At 10:35, four destroyers fired the first batch of C-804 anti-ship missiles. At 10:40, the four destroyers completed a 180-degree turn and launched the second batch of C-804 anti-ship missiles. A total of 64 C-804 anti-ship missiles were fired at Mach 0.9 at a speed of Mach 0.9 at the Western Fleet of India, which was 300 kilometers away.

At this time, many people did not notice that four C-803 anti-ship missiles broke through the water about 140 kilometers southeast of the task force and flew first to the Indian West Fleet.

The task force did not stop and continued to advance in a southeasterly direction.

When the battle plan was decided, the naval aviation wanted to "monopolize the power" and did not want the task force to interfere, so it only needed to send two squadrons of attack planes to completely annihilate the western Indian fleet. It took Lin Xiaolei a lot of effort to regain the "right to speak" for the task force.

Half of the attack was carried out by naval aviation and half by the task force.

Because the six J-10 squadrons deployed in Pakistan can only take on the task of air defense of the fleet, they can only send the Su-30MKK to carry out attack missions. The Pakistani Air Force is not equipped with Russian-made fighter jets and cannot provide support and support for the Su-30MKK, and the squadron of attack aircraft participating in the battle can only take off from Yecheng Air Base.

The attack fleet had a round-trip range of nearly 7,000 kilometers and required six large tankers, and twelve Su-30MKKs had to undergo two air refueling before and after attacking India's Western Fleet before returning to Yecheng Air Base. If two squadrons were to be dispatched, twelve large tankers would have to be prepared. HNA has only eight large refueling aircraft, two of which must serve AWACS and anti-aircraft fighters, and can only support twelve attack aircraft.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after it was determined that the Western Indian Fleet was heading north, the Su-30MKK fleet took off from Yecheng airbase.

Each Su-30MKK carries one C-603 heavy supersonic anti-ship missile on a belly pylon, four C-803 anti-ship missiles on a pylon between the air intake tract and the wing, two Thunderbolt-14 medium-range air-to-air missiles on the outboard pylons of the wing, two Thunderbolt-13 combat missiles on the wingtip pylon, and two large auxiliary fuel tanks on the inner pylon of the wing.

In order to avoid being detected by India's ground-based radars and AWACS aircraft, the group immediately lowered its flight altitude to within 50 meters after entering the Pamirs, and flew in the valley as much as possible. This led to a sharp increase in the fuel consumption of the fighters, and in order to be able to get more fuel from the tankers, the twelve Su-30MKK first used fuel from the internal tanks and did not rush to use the fuel from the drop tanks.

8:55 p.m. The Su-30MKK fleet joined forces with three tanker aircraft over Tebeira, northwest of Karachi.

Twelve fighters were divided into two groups. Each obtained nearly 9,000 kilograms of fuel from the tanker.

9:25 p.m. The first batch of six SVU-30MKK entered the skies over the Arabian Sea. Fifteen minutes later. Six more Su-30MKK caught up.

After entering the AWACS ground guidance range. The Su-30MKK fleet adjusted course.

10:35 p.m. The group flew over the task force. Enter the attack route.

Twelve Su-30MKKs first threw away the more obstructive drop tanks. The flight altitude was reduced to less than twenty meters. This is the SU-30MKK ground limit flight altitude. Even the most skilled pilots would not dare to fly sustainably at such low altitudes.

At 10:45 p.m., about 200 kilometers from the Western Indian Fleet, twelve Su-30MKKs rose to an altitude of one hundred and fifty meters and fired forty-eight C-803 anti-ship missiles. The group continued to fly forward for five minutes, and when it was about one hundred and forty kilometers away from the Indian West Fleet, it climbed to an altitude of two hundred and fifty meters and launched twelve C-603 anti-ship missiles.

After completing the attack mission, the Su-30MKK group turned at an ultra-low altitude and embarked on the return voyage.

The whole process was completed in one go, and it was almost no different from HNA's usual drills.

The C-803 anti-ship missile was launched first, not because the C-803 had a longer range than the C-603, but because the C-803 had a cruising flight speed of only Mach 0.9, while the C-603 had a low-altitude cruising flight speed of Mach 2. Even if the launch of the C-603 was five minutes late, it was possible to "arrive" in the skies over the Western Fleet of India ahead of schedule. The C-803 followed suit and launched an attack on the Indian West Fleet. Because the C-804 anti-ship missiles launched by the destroyer are flying slightly faster than the Su-30MKK group, the C-804 missile group will attack the Indian West Fleet at the same time as the C-803 missile group.

The Su-30MKK fleet did not climb to height, and did not even use an on-board fire control radar.

The attack data is provided by AWACS aircraft and carrier-based helicopters performing forward guidance tasks. The C-803 and C-603 anti-ship missiles approached the West Indian Fleet in an inertial guidance manner, and six Ka-27 helicopters from the task force provided final guidance information before entering the terminal autonomous attack phase.

This was done with one purpose: to surprise the attack!

In India's Western Fleet, the three Bangalore-class destroyers with the strongest air defense capability have anti-aircraft search radars that can detect high-altitude targets at a distance of 400 kilometers, but they can detect low-altitude targets at a distance of less than 100 kilometers. The Su-30MKK fleet flew at low altitude throughout the whole process, and was changed out at low altitude; The C-603 and C-803 anti-ship missiles also flew at low altitudes throughout the flight, and the anti-aircraft search radar on the Bangalore-class destroyers was able to detect the C-603 anti-ship missiles at a distance of up to 40 kilometers.

The air defense operation time left for the Indian West Fleet is less than a minute!

Vice Admiral Leval, who personally commanded the Western Fleet, did not know about this, and he could not have known that the 12 Su-30MKK of the Republic's naval aviation burned more than 300 tons of aviation fuel and flew 3,500 kilometers just to launch 12 C-603 and 48 C-803 anti-ship missiles.

Before the catastrophe came, he was still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Shortening the distance to 250 kilometers, 48 BrahMos heavy supersonic anti-ship missiles on three Bangalore-class destroyers will be able to fly at low altitudes throughout the entire flight to surprise the task force. When the distance is reduced to 200 kilometers, dozens of "Club" missiles on the "Bangalore"-class destroyers and "Talwa"-class frigates can come in handy. Finally, approaching 130 kilometers, the final round of attacks was launched with the "Uranus" anti-ship missiles on the destroyers of the "Delhi" class.

Three rounds of attacks, almost two hundred anti-ship missiles, enough to drown the task force!

Because the group of planes attacking the task force belonged to the Indian Air Force, and the Indian Air Force and the Navy had not established a joint command system, Leval did not know that air supremacy had fallen into the hands of the other side when he "dreamed" of severely damaging the task force with the "most advanced" "BrahMos" anti-ship missiles in the world.

The A-50I sent by the Air Force had long since slipped away.

After the attack aircraft group that had originally planned to cover the attack aircraft group to surprise the task force, the "Brilliant" aircraft group that had rushed to provide air defense cover for the Western Fleet was also completely wiped out.

Leval was able to rely on the anti-aircraft weapons systems of only nine destroyers.

At 10:42 p.m., about three minutes before the launch of the C-30 anti-ship missile by the Su-803MKK group, the destroyer "Bangalore" was the first to sound the air defense alarm.

Four anti-ship missiles approached, which amused Leval.

That must be an anti-ship missile launched from a submarine, and just four anti-ship missiles want to take out a fleet with nine warships?

Within ten seconds, two Bangalore-class destroyers fired twelve Hurricane anti-aircraft missiles, easily shooting down four C-803 anti-ship missiles launched by the USS Killer Whale attack nuclear submarine.

Now, Leval feels even more assured of victory.

It's just that he was happy for less than ten minutes.

At 10:52 p.m., about two minutes after the Su-30MKK group launched the C-603 anti-ship missile, the destroyer "Bangalore" was the first to spot a group of missiles approaching at high speed, and then two other "Bangalore"-class destroyers also sounded the air defense alarm.

Leval was dumbfounded.

Three air defense destroyers were again put into air defense operations, and the anti-aircraft missile vertical launch system fired the "Hurricane" anti-aircraft missiles at a rate of two seconds and one in a piece. Subsequently, three Delhi-class destroyers and three Talwar-class frigates joined the ranks of the air defense operation.

The "Bangalore"-class destroyers are called "air defense destroyers," but they do not have real regional air defense capabilities.

The maximum range of the "Hurricane" anti-aircraft missile is only 48 kilometers, which is far from the 90 kilometers required for regional air defense. Each Bangalore-class destroyer has only three anti-aircraft fire control channels, guiding up to six Hurricane missiles to attack three targets. In this case, the probability of damage to a supersonic anti-ship missile is only 75 percent.

The air defense of destroyers of the "Delhi" class is worse than that of the "Talwa" class frigates.

Nine warships are capable of dealing with eighteen air targets at the same time, and if the probability of damage is taken into account, a second round of anti-missile interception is necessary to shoot down twelve C-603 anti-ship missiles.

Within a minute, nine warships can also carry out a maximum of two rounds of anti-missile interception.

This is the "value" of the C-603 anti-ship missile. Although all twelve missiles were shot down, when the C-803 missile group and the C-804 missile group launched by the battleship arrived, the nine Indian warships could only sigh in the sky.

One hundred and twelve C-803 and C-804 anti-ship missiles are more than enough to deal with the Indian West Fleet, which has only nine warships, and even against the US Navy's three-carrier battle group, which has six air defense cruisers, six air defense destroyers, and three frigates.

In the end, it was not the task force that was drowned by missiles, but the Western Indian fleet.

Before his death, Leval did not give up his resistance.

The BrahMos anti-ship missile uses a high-altitude trajectory and can reach a range of 350 kilometers, which is enough to strike a task force at a distance of 300 kilometers.

In just one minute, four BrahMos anti-ship missiles were fired from each of the three destroyers.

Leval gave it his all, and that's all there was to it.

In the face of the surging missile swarm, the chief of staff of the Indian Navy can only hope that the 12 "BrahMos" that have just been fired can save a little face for him and the Indian Navy.

Damn it*

On the shelves on October 1st, I hope for an October monthly pass, and I beg for a recommended collection!.
