Wing Commander Evangelos Moutoussis of Greek air force was monitoring the activities of PAF crew from last half an hour. He was not able to understand that why the Pakistanis were in so much hurry as they had to depart eight hours later. The Pakistani crew of 150 personals had gone to France for air exercise and now they were returning back. Four F-16, one Il-78 ariel refuelling tanker and two C-130 Hercules were part of the contingent. When he asked the Pakistani crew, they told, they would have to fight the IAF, so they would depart from here in a few minutes.

CADAADO

SOMALIA

8^th JUNE 2020

16:30 HRS

“Colonel Akram, you can start the operation now.” Brigadier Mushtak said from Rawalpindi.

“Start firing on the Indian contingent from three sides and force them to run towards area X.” He said.

Somalia was fighting a civil war and to keep the situation in control, U.N. had deployed a peace keeping force there. The force was deployed in many parts of the Somalia and in Cadaado, 1000 strong contingent of U.N. was present. It comprises of 500 Indians-all of them were from medical, engineering and logistic units, 400 Pakistanis- heavily armed infantry and 100 Germans- all of them were from transportation unit. Indians were having only some handguns for self defence but Pakistanis were having a large variety of weapons. The Pakistanis had planned to fire on the Indians from 3 directions so that they would be compelled to move towards 4^th direction. In that direction about 3 km away was a table top mountain. It means the top of the mountain was flat like a ground. As there was no any other place available to hide, the Indians would climb up the mountain because a mountain offers an excellent defensive position & anybody on top of it can prevent the enemy from climbing up by firing from the top. Then F-16s would come and drop bomb on top of the mountain killing all 500 Indians in just one strike.

But the Indian personnel from signal unit had intercepted the Pakistani conversation. They were unaware about the area X. Indians themselves decided to reach and climb the table top mountain as they would be safe there until some large size infantry unit of some other country comes and rescue them. Before Pakistanis could open fire, Indians reached on the table top mountain.

“Four F-16s are heading towards Somalia. They would be there in two hours. After dropping the bombs on the table top mountain, they would get refuelled by Il-78 and head towards the Pakistan. By this way we will kill 500 Indians and take our revenge. After suffering this huge amount of casualty, they would think twice before attacking the Pakistan.” Brigadier Mustak said.

“Indians somehow manage to intercept our conversation, but they were not knowing our complete plan. They themselves have climbed on that mountain and we have surrounded the whole area. If someone tries to come down, we will shot him and if they don’t move, then in two hours they will be bombed by the F-16s” Colonel Akram said.

Indian contingent was on that mountain, listening their conversation. Now they came to know about the Pakistani plan. They decided to send SOS signal to the navy.

INS VIKRAMADITYA

ARABIAN SEA

8^th JUNE 2020

17:15 HRS

Captain Sridhar, commanding officer of INS Vikramaditya was shocked after reading the SOS signal from the Indian contingent. Now he has to act fast as after two hours the PAF was going to bomb the table top mountain. He ordered Mig-29K fighter jets to fly there immediately. Despite being a poor country, Somalia was having a small size airforce and various Surface to air missile units were present there. So, the Migs were ordered to fly low to evade the radar. In low level, BVR combat can’t take place & so the long range R-77M were useless in this situation. There was no time available for taking a formal permission from Somali authorities to safe passage for Migs, as they would take a lot time.

4 X F-16

NEAR TABLE TOP MOUNTAIN

8^th JUNE 2020

18:30 HRS

“Viper 2, the mountain is about 5 km away. Get ready to drop the bomb. If bomb misses the target then Viper 3 will drop the bomb.” Said Viper lead.

The Indian soldiers on that mountain could now hear the voice of F-16 jets. As the flat area on the top of that mountain was about half an acre size, a large size bomb could destroy everything present there.

“Viper 2, drop the bomb.” Viper lead ordered.

The leader of the formation, the Viper lead, saw the Viper 2 going towards mountain but suddenly it chanced the direction. Now, the Viper 2 was diving towards the ground trying to evade something. A fast flying missile came near Viper 2 and exploded. Viper lead turned his radar on and he saw four Mig-29K fighter jets were present three km away.

“Viper formation engage the enemy.” He screamed.

But before the other F-16s could on their radar, Migs fired R-73 missiles. 3 highly manoeuvrable Russian dogfight missiles started chasing the F-16s. Missiles came near & exploded, the F-16s disintegrated into several small pieces. The Viper formation was destroyed and now there was no threat to the Indian contingent.

Before Colonel Akram could plan anything else, he heard the voice of four more Mig-29K fighter jets. Sensing danger, he ordered his troops to run but it was too late. The Migs conducted carpet bombing by dropping 6 cluster bombs each on the areas around the mountain. The result was devastating. All 400 Pakistani infantrymen were dead including Colonel Akram. Pakistan had suffered a deadly blow.

The Indian govt. had sent a list of 20 most wanted terrorists along with a warning that if within 24 hrs Pakistan didn’t fulfil the demands, they it will have to pay a heavy price as India would destroy more power plants and refineries of Pakistan.

General Waheed was not having any other option left. He ordered to act according to the Indian demands. After the deadly strikes by India, the Pakistan’s power and energy had suffered a huge blow. It was going to effect the Pakistan’s economic development for years. Also it was going to take at least a decade to rebuild the Pakistani air force as 1/3^rd of the fleet was destroyed. Now Pakistani army’s top brass had understood that it can’t effort to make India angry again & therefore they finally decided to end supporting the terrorism.

21:30 HRS

There was a festive mood in the PMO as the Pakistani side had just informed that it would give all those 20 terrorists to India and end sponsoring the terrorism. After just 72 hrs since the infiltration happened in Rajauri sector of Kashmir, India had compelled the Pakistan to bow down. India had won the proxy war and at last it learned a lesson that diplomacy didn’t work always and sometimes using force becomes the only option available in order to achieve the strategic objectives.

PART-4

AIRFORCE HEADQUARTER

NEW DELHI

8^th JUNE 2020

10:40 HRS

“Sir, all the 54 F-16s have just crossed the international border. They are flying at the speed of Mach 1 & if they continue in their flight path, they will be in Delhi in 25 minutes.” said Air Marshal Ashok Gupta, Commanding Officer, Air-defence.

“The fighter squadron of Sukhoi-30 MKI, consisting 18 aircrafts, is getting ready in Hindon airbase, Ghaziabad. But in such a short span of time we can arm Sukhois with only 2 R-77M & 2 R-73 missiles along with the jammer. So, a lot depends on surface to air missile systems deployed in Delhi” he said.

“Let’s hope that we would be able to successfully intercept all the F-16s before they cause mayhem in Delhi. The number of fighters they have sent in this mission is surprisingly high.” Said ACM Laxman.

But to make things worse, the F-16s launched 2 Harpoon air to surface missiles each when they were 110 km away from their targets. Suddenly there were 108 missiles approaching towards Red Fort & India Gate and the surface to air missiles systems, which were waiting for the F-16s, got new targets to intercept. 108 Harpoons were going to keep them busy for few minutes and in those few minutes, the F-16s were going to drop bombs on their targets.

The traffic was halted in Budh vihar marg and city commuters saw a strange sight. Five very large size vehicles of completely different type were running in full speed towards Haryana border. It was a battery of Spyder SAM system which was instructed 20 minutes ago to go as far as possible from Delhi and shoot F-16s down.

“Stop here and on the radar.” Sq. Ldr. Rajeev Sinha ordered his unit. They were on a ground some 200 meters away from the busy road.

“They are 10 km away, fire all the 16 missiles towards them in lock on after launch mode and let the radar guide the missiles. Then get out from your vehicle and run as fast as you can from here.” He told via radio set to his unit members.

Eight Python and eight Derby missiles were fired automatically from the Spyder system. The sixteen F-16s who were the targets of the missiles tried to evade but only two managed to escape, rest fourteen got direct hit & they exploded in the mid-air. Remaining F-16s drop bombs on the Spyder system and all four missile launch units and one command & control system were destroyed. Sq. Ldr. Sinha & his men had already reached a safe location. But still forty F-16s were flying towards India Gate and Red Fort.

The Akash SAM, LR-SAM and Laser weapons were busy in shooting down the Harpoon missiles. They had no time to aim at the F-16s. The only thing that could stop them was now flying over the Karol bagh.

“Mike formation, on your jammers and make those Pakis blind.” Wing Commander Mohit Singh ordered the Sukhoi formation. Eighteen SAP-518 jammers first analysed the frequency of radar waves of the F-16’s APG-68 radar then they send massive quantity of  same frequency radar waves towards F-16s.The radars of F-16 were unable to process the huge amount of radar waves they were receiving and they were jammed. Now the F-16 cannot fire radar guided Amraam missiles and they were also unable to track the Sukhois.

“Take out the F-16s with the R-77M missiles.” He ordered.

36 R-77M missiles started racing towards 18 F-16, two missiles per target in order to ensure 100% kill. Over the Sultanpur Dabas reserve forest 18 F-16s got direct hit from R-77M missiles and they were destroyed. Sukhois were not having any more R-77M left in their inventory therefore the only option now remaining was to go near the F-16s and start the dogfight. Over the outskirts of Delhi dogfight between 18 Sukhoi-30 MKI and 22 F-16 started. The 3D thrust vectoring capability of the Sukhois was of no match for the F-16s. Due to it, the Sukhois were able to out-turn and out-maneuver them easily. One by one the F-16s were falling down after getting hit by the R-73 missiles. The dog fight was over in just three minutes. Of the total 54 pilots, 22 were dead and 18 were captured by the Delhi police with the help of locals.

“Colonel Roy, ask your team to get ready in 15 minutes. A strange situation has arise in Rajeev nagar area, at the outskirts of Delhi.” Brigadier Kapoor said.

“Sir, we will get ready. But what happened?”

“14 pilots of Pakistani air force have taken hostage some people in a shopping mall there.”

“Who has taken hostage?”

“14 pilots of Pakistani air force.”

“How and what are they doing here?”

“Moments ago, 54 F-16s had attacked New Delhi but before they could do any damage, they were shot down by the IAF. Some pilots were dead & some were captured but 14 pilots managed to form a group. All airforces around the world give their pilots a pistol, map of the area of operation, high protein chocolates and some currencies of the enemy country so that if they were shot down, they could return back to their country safely. Your mission is to capture all the pilots alive as they can give vital information to us.”

With very less training and only some 9mm pistols, PAF pilots couldn’t hold on for much time and NSG team freed the hostages & captured all the pilots alive in just an hour after their operation started.

“You guys spare no opportunity to supply fake currency in this country. Even a downed pilot carries fake currency with him.” A NSG officer said to a PAF pilot after finding that Indian currency he was having was fake.

“We had never expected this level of aggression from Pakistan. Launching 90 long range missiles to destroy our industries & then the daring act of sending not 10 or 15 but 54 fighter jets into Delhi was surprising. Now we will hit back & hit them so hard that it would take years for them to overcome.” PM Singh said to the cabinet committee on security.

ZDK-03 AWACS

OVER MULTAN

8^th JUNE 2020

13:30 HRS

Air vice Marshal Shakeel Khan noted a strange incident. A Sukhoi-30 MKI aircraft took off from Sirsa airbase Haryana, which is some 360 km away from Multan, and landed back.

“What was the purpose behind this act?” he said to himself.

250 seconds later the missile approaching system started giving warning. That heavy aircraft was not at all agile and can’t out- maneuver the fast approaching missile. As missile came near and exploded, the whole aircraft was destroyed and it’s debris fall over the Multan city causing loss of some life & property. The missile which was fired by the Sukhoi was K-100 ’AWACS Killer’ ultra long range air to air missile jointly developed by India & Russia. With a range of 400 km, it was the world’s longest range air to air missile. Air to air missiles which other countries were having doesn’t have range more than 160 km.

Same thing happened with other two ZDK AWACS which were patrolling along the border.

“Missile launch detected, several Aspide missiles are approaching towards us. On your jammers now” said Vostok lead.

World’s most powerful jammers the KNIRIT SAP-14 jammers were on. Within seconds the Italy made Spada-2000 SAM system’s radar was jammed & Aspide missiles stop getting real time data on Sukhois movement. Missiles fell down.

“Vostok 2, destroy Spada-2000’s radar.” Vostok lead ordered.

A Kh-29 missile was fired from the Sukhoi and it destroyed the radar.

About 500 meters away was the Pakistan’s longest range surface to air missile system, the Chinese made HQ-9.  It had a range of 120 km & Sukhoi’s jammer can’t jam HQ-9’s powerful radar. But HQ-9 didn’t attack the Sukhoi formation because minutes ago it’s radar had been destroyed by the Brahmos-2 hypersonic missile.

“Vostok 2 & 3, drop the bombs on the target.” Vostok lead said.

The bombs exploded and the 1200 MW Hubco power plant was destroyed.

“Thunder formation, Scramble.” Base incharge said to 8 JF-17s who were lined up on the runway. Within a minute, JF-17s were airborne.

“Thunder lead, my missile approaching system is giving warnings of incoming missile.” Said Thunder 5.

“There are no IAF fighters nearby. Your system is malfunctioning. IAF fighters are bombing our power plants 180 km away from here.” Thunder lead said.

Seconds later Thunder 5 exploded. All were surprised as there were no IAF fighter jets flying nearby. Before anyone could understand anything, remaining 7 JF-17s also exploded in mid air. Something invisible was shooting them down.

“Dragon lead, two Sukhoi-30 MKI are bombing our oil refineries. Take them out.”

Six J-10 took off within one minute of receiving order and within 45 seconds after takeoff all six J-10s were shot down.

Pakistanis did not know that three FGFA (Fifth Generation Fighter Aircrafts) each were patrolling over 12 major Pakistani airbases from last one hour. These aircrafts, one of the best in world, were stealth & radars can’t locate them. The FGFA were ordered to destroy any fighter aircraft which takes off from its airbase, so that the Sukhois, who were bombing their targets & jamming the SAM systems, faces no threat. IAF was having two squadrons of FGFA, total 36 aircrafts at that time.

“Volga 3&4, drop bombs on target three.” Volga lead ordered.

The target three was Bin Qasim power plant with a capacity to produce 1100 MW electricity. The Volga formation had already destroyed the Jamshoro power plant and TNB Liberty power plant. After just one hour of the IAF’s attack, 25% of Pakistan’s power plants and 20% of the oil refineries were destroyed. Total 65 PAF fighter jets tried to stop Indian fighters but within seconds after the take off, they were shot down by the FGFA which were patrolling over the airbases. Since 7^th June, total 155 fighter jets of PAF were shot down by the IAF which was 1/3^rd of their 450 aircraft inventory. It was a huge loss indeed for the PAF.

General Waheed was in depression and was not able to overcome the shock. Since 7th June, about 400 military personals & civilians of Pakistan had died and worth billions of dollars of country’s assets were destroyed. On the other hand, India had suffered only a few casualties that too in cross border firing which was going on in almost all sectors of the international border. General Waheed had decided to resign but before he could announce it, he received a message. After reading it, he changed his mind. Now for the first time he was thinking that India can be given a befitting reply & he can say to the Pakistani masses that if India would dare to do anything adventures then it will be severely punished by Pakistan. What he was going to do was something very unusual.
