The author of this set of technical equipment designed to weaken the Pakistan Air Force and ultimately gain air supremacy in South Asia was none other than New Delhi Air Force Major General Anthony sitting in the air of the Il-78 at this moment.
As the most strategic young general in the New Delhi Air Force, Anthony has a brilliant resume. However, compared with other strategic generals in New Delhi, Anthony¡¯s biggest feature is action.
Take this air exercise, which was forcibly launched off the coast of Karachi, Pakistan, from planning to implementation in less than half a month, setting multiple records for the New Delhi Air Force¡¯s execution.
Because of this, Anthony has been regarded as a real eagle by the New Delhi military circles. Many observers assert that Anthony¡¯s future achievement will be at least Chief of Staff of the Air Force. If he can maintain his current wisdom and execution ability, he will be Minister of Defense and even higher government. It¡¯s not like the leaders can¡¯t compete.
Therefore, this military exercise off the coast of Pakistan not only weakens the Pakistan Air Force and deters the entire South Asia region, Anthony also intends to enhance his reputation through the exercise and pave the way for further advancement in the future.
Of course, to achieve this, the success of the exercise is a necessary condition, and Anthony obviously has his own set of standards for how to demonstrate success.
¡°Since there is no threat from Pakistan, let¡¯s start implementing our ¡®Forward Lookout¡¯ plan!¡±
After looking at the busy reporters and looking through the porthole at the eight Su-30mki fighter jets following closely behind him, Anthony nodded with satisfaction, and then gave an abrupt instruction to the adjutant next to him.
The adjutant was a little surprised when he heard this. After thinking about it, he reminded him: "General, doing this is tantamount to violating Pakistan's airspace. If you are shot down"
"Pakistan's furthest "Hawk" air defense missile is only 40 kilometers, and the "Standard 1" on surface ships is also at the same level. The "Heron" drone we just introduced from Israel only slightly entered their exclusive economic zone. Within, the closest surface ship to them is more than 80 kilometers away, and it is about 140 kilometers away from land. Let me ask you, what did they use to shoot it down?"
"this¡¡"
When Anthony said this, the adjutant was immediately speechless. The Pakistani aviation force is very strong, but the air defense force is very weak. With the strong aviation force, the weakness of the air defense force can be covered up.
¡°However, at this moment, the main force of Pakistan¡¯s aviation force is contained in the north. The aviation force on the southern coast is not strong to begin with. In addition, New Delhi¡¯s long-term fatigue strategy has led to a plummeting rate of technical equipment adequacy, further highlighting the shortcomings of Pakistan¡¯s air defense forces.
It was precisely because he was keenly aware that the Pakistani coastal air force was helpless and that the air defense forces were beyond their reach due to equipment limitations that Anthony dared to release the Heron drone he had just purchased from Israel.
You must know that this advanced long-endurance reconnaissance drone that just completed testing at the end of last year is claimed to be the most advanced drone in the world, especially Wanshan¡¯s electronic reconnaissance equipment and communication support system. Even the US military is very fond of it. Israel has brought back a few aircraft for testing, and it is said that it may purchase 100 aircraft.
It was after hearing this "insider" news that New Delhi spent huge sums of money to purchase 4 aircraft from Israel for border patrol and aerial reconnaissance.
Of course, the Air Force¡¯s small equipment group with Anthony as the core hopes that the government will increase its procurement volume, and at least expand the scale to 20 aircraft, so that it can barely cover New Delhi¡¯s huge territory.
The government also wants to purchase more, but the problem is that the unit price of Israel's "Heron" drone has reached 42 million U.S. dollars. Including ground stations, personnel training, parts storage, etc., New Delhi paid 220 million for the four drones. USD purchase costs.
? ? 42 million U.S. dollars. A Su-30mki fighter jet produced by New Delhi only costs 38 million U.S. dollars. A drone is actually more expensive than a heavy multi-purpose fighter. No matter how stupid the New Delhi government is, it knows that it has been cheated.
However, Anthony and others do not care whether the government is cheated or not. They insist that drones, especially high-performance all-weather drones like the "Heron", are modern equipment that the New Delhi Air Force urgently needs. If the government buys them, it will be responsible for New Delhi's future; If you don't buy it, the army will have to stretch its legs, and New Delhi will lose its generals.
As for the huge kickbacks paid by the Israeli company iai to Anthony and others, Anthony and the others will never mention it. After all, as professional soldiers, it is their duty to protect their families and the country, and talking about money will hurt their feelings.
?????????????????????????????????????? However, the New Delhi government is totally bullshit due to the generous advice of Anthony and others. nm has obviously been tricked and put on a pole to be slaughtered. Is it because his brain is twitching or his cerebellum has atrophied?
Seeing that the government refused to agree, Anthony and others did not give up. After all, there were so many kickbacks there. It would be a pity to give up. Isn¡¯t it because the government could not see the potential value of the "Heron", so Anthony gave up during the exercise? "Heron" spreads its wings and spreads its majesty.??
? Directly penetrated into the offshore waters of Karachi, intercepted Pakistani communication signals, and photographed image materials around Karachi.
In this way, not only can the results achieved in the exercise be realized, but the tactical and strategic value of the "Heron" drone can also be highlighted.
By then, not only will my reputation be enhanced again, but IAI¡¯s kickbacks will also make me safe. I will gain both fame and fortune, and I will be a winner in life.
Based on this, the air drills, the sea and air cooperation, and the arrival of reconnaissance planes are all Anthony's cover-up. Everything is just to cover the "Heron" drone to sneak in and show the so-called "value".
The problem is that the New Delhi Air Force doesn¡¯t know all this; the government doesn¡¯t know; the media doesn¡¯t know; the Pakistani military doesn¡¯t know; UAE State Counselor Abdullah, who came to attend the Karachi Defense Exhibition, and Algeria¡¯s Deputy Director of the Ministry of Defense Equipment Procurement Bureau Mahmoud Even less sure.
The relationship between Pakistan and its neighboring countries was already very tense. New Delhi's large-scale aircraft formation live-fire exercise occurred off the coast of Karachi. In order to ensure the safety of the two VIPs, the Pakistani military immediately arranged for the two people to be placed in Karachi's underground air defense command post.
At this time, a New Delhi plane suddenly burst in from high altitude, rushed into the exclusive economic zone, and rushed towards Karachi.
Abdullah and Mahmud were shocked when they heard the news, because they knew very well that the aviation forces deployed around Karachi were weak, and the air defense forces were even weaker. Once they were suddenly attacked by New Delhi's planes, they would have no other choice but to be beaten passively. .
So both of them were worried, and they both felt regretful. If they had known that Pakistan was so dangerous, why would they come here to attend some defense exhibition? Wouldn't it be nice to drink wine, sing and dance with beautiful women in their arms in their respective countries?
¡°Bang!¡±
Just when the two of them were pale, sitting across from each other and thinking silently, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and Zarif walked in wearing a military uniform. Mahmoud immediately stood up and spoke nervously. Q: "Where was the air strike in Karachi?"
"Nowhere." Zarif shook his head.
"No? Didn't New Delhi's plane break into the exclusive economic zone?" Abdullah asked.
"Yes, but we have shot down the daredevil who broke in." Zarif replied with a smile.
"Shooted it down? What did you use to shoot it down? A fighter plane or an anti-aircraft missile?" Mahmoud was surprised.
Zarif¡¯s smile became even brighter: ¡°It was a helicopter, and with one shot, it penetrated the soul!¡±
