The 227 air battle in South Asia, which took place on February 27, 2019, can be said to be the most modern in contemporary history, and it is also the most evenly matched contest in equipment strength, from which a lot of things of considerable value can be summarized. However, the world's deepest impression of this air war came from a "loser". To put it bluntly, it was the only "prisoner" in this short and fierce battle. The problem is that this prisoner turned back into a hero of air combat or even a "hero of the people" of the host country, which was written directly into the modern history of the country. At that time, Hanhai Wolf Mountain (Xiongnu Wolf Mountain) was also accurately judged in real time. Originally, it was viewed as a regional power from top to bottom, regardless of right and wrong. However, as 4 years have passed since this matter, more insiders and details have been dug up by internal reports of both sides. As a result, compared with other pilots who participated in the battle, the comprehensive performance of Colonel Abinanda, the only captured one, before and after,
There really was no insult to the evaluation of "air combat heroes". After all, whether it is a real hero or not, it needs to have contrast and foil. Compared with his colleagues who are completely muddy and cannot stand the wall, Colonel Abinanda, as a dedicated "honest man", can really be regarded as the country's "heroic hero". Of course, saying that he is a hero has nothing to do with the fact that he himself shot down an F16. After all, the superpower had someone in South Asia responsible for monitoring all 76 F16s, and all 76 F16s were later proved intact. Moreover, the 4 air-to-air missiles carried on the MiG-21 piloted by Colonel Abinanda were not missing from public exhibitions to the world, even the shells of the cannon. So that Colonel Abinanda, even if he has three heads and six arms, will not be able to shoot down enemy aircraft out of thin air or with only a mouth cannon? Therefore, as an honest man, he deserves all kinds of honors later given to him by his country, mainly based on his internal comparison, which is essentially a general in CUO.
The whole truth of the matter is basically this: the day before the 227 air battle, on February 26, the country's air force used the night to begin air strikes on the so-called training camps of neighboring countries. In retaliation for a recent attack on military vehicles in Kashmir. In order to achieve the suddenness of the air strike, the country's air force did not send military aircraft from the airfields adjacent to the front line; Instead, a number of French Mirage 2000 fighters were mobilized from inland airfields more than 700 kilometers away from the first line for long-range assault with guided bombs! Immediately after the preparation of the assault, fly back to the airspace of the country, and then find the nearest airfield to land. After all, the Mirage 2000 has a limited range and it is impossible to fly all back to the base of departure. However, these Mirage 2000s were immediately discovered by the opponent's AWACS aircraft before they crossed the border on the night of February 26. It can be seen that the other party is also highly guarded, and is far ahead of the opponent in electronic warfare capabilities and navigation capabilities. At this time, all Mirage 2000 missile attack alarms are ringing loudly and flashing red lights. The radar screen itself is also seriously jammed, and anti-locking is not possible at all,
This shows that this batch of Phantom 2000s that have just crossed the border is not only firmly locked in advance; And it is also completely passive in electronic countermeasures. At this time, if the movement is slightly slower, even if you stay in the opponent's airspace for 10 more seconds, you may be shot down immediately. So these Phantoms, there was simply no time to accurately lock on the ground target and calmly drop the bomb, so they dropped all the bombs and fled immediately. As a result, none of the multiple bombs hit the target, only a batch of pine trees and a crow's nest. After this embarrassing experience of 226 taking the initiative to attack, but was shocked into a cold sweat. The country's air force suddenly lost the confidence to attack across the border again. Because it is impossible to find out how many AWACS aircraft and fighters of the opponent ambush them in the air at any time. Needless to say, the electronic countermeasures capabilities are completely backward, even navigation can only rely on the Takang signal of the Karakoram pass. If this signal is suddenly turned off. All fighters that cross the border can immediately get lost, let alone fight any air battles. But this general cowardice,
It exists only in the grassroots commanders of the country's Air Force and in the group of pilots involved in actual operations. However, the top general who commanded the operation was from the army, and still insisted that his fighters were enough to "crush" the opponent in both quantity and quality, and did not believe that air superiority was already completely on the opponent's side. Things ended up being laymen commanding insiders. However, the pilots of the country's first- and second-tier airports soon had a full exchange in private about the situation that was already waiting for each other. After all, pilots all have mobile phone communication groups. They are all highly educated and highly intelligent people. Although the superiors consider the opponent completely unworthy. But the pilots came to a completely unanimous conclusion on the afternoon of the 26th: the opposite side had absolute electromagnetic superiority. In the future, whoever crosses the border again will eat the life of missiles! And the radars of their own fighters have been jammed to the point that nothing can be seen or heard! By the day of the 227th, the order for another large-scale air sortie came! This time it was no longer a Mirage 2000 solo cross-border air strike;
It is a large battle in which the Su-30MKI squadron, the Mirage 2000 squadron and the MiG-21 Bison squadron act together, and at least 30 "advanced fighter" aircraft make a collective sortie. Who knows that before the emergency takeoff, all kinds of unprecedented strange things will come out together. Several pilots of MiG-21 Bison fighters claimed collective diarrhea and did not leave the toilet for 2 hours; Naturally, he didn't take off at all. After several others took off, all reported mechanical failures in the air. Even Colonel Abinanda, who was still a lieutenant colonel at the time, suddenly turned around before he reached the border between the two sides. Everyone knows that the radar detection distance of the MiG-21 is too close, and the takeoff of this batch of MiGs can only be regarded as interfering with the judgment of the opponent's AWACS aircraft. The real cross-border air combat is the Su-30MKI and Mirage 2000. As a result, Lieutenant Colonel Abinanda found through the radar that multiple local formations in the air had been flying sideways on the side of the border, just not forward! He himself had just hesitated for less than 30 seconds, and soon found that his long machine did not know where to go.
At this time, he was single-handed, and he could not see any opponents, let alone the plane piloted by any of his companions. In addition to the blue sky and white clouds, there is the harsh warning sound of missile attacks. Lieutenant Colonel Abinanda never expected that he would become the only "fighter" who really honestly carried out the order of the cross-border attack in this assault of more than 30 planes. But even the most real people know that saving their lives is the priority! When the sound of the missile attack alarm is almost at the limit. He finally pulled the ejection handle! Soon after landing, he was captured, and the opposing air force was surprised how there could be such a humble, single-player single person going so far. So he took out the best black tea to treat him with courtesy. And he was released and repatriated in less than 48 hours. It was immediately welcomed by the people of the country; Finally awarded the medal and promoted to the rank of colonel! This is the brave air battle of a single aircraft in the 21st century, the lonely charge of one person!
