JF-17 fighter destroys S-400 missile system
The Pakistan Army launched the "Steel Wall" operation, with a large number of Pakistan JF-17 fighters and J-10 fighters crossing the border to attack dozens of Indian military bases and air force airports.
The JF-17 BLOCK3 fighter launched the HD-1 supersonic missile for a long-range kill, destroying an Indian S-400 anti-aircraft missile launcher. The Indian army's defense lines have been stunned.
This is a truly massive aerial offensive campaign. Let's do the math: it takes at least 10 kilometers for a fighter jet to make a supersonic turn. So many J-10 fighters, JF-17 fighters, drones, and missiles are attacking India simultaneously. They also need to identify and distinguish between Indian aircraft, Indian air defense systems, and radar signals.
This large-scale coordinated operation presents a severe challenge in terms of friend-or-foe identification. The automation command, data link, and target recognition system of Pakistan Air Force's domestically produced ZDK-2 early warning aircraft are the true advantages of this battle.
The Indian Air Force and air defense forces are a hodgepodge of technologies from France, Russia, Israel, India, the UK, and the US. In such a large-scale mixed combat and coordination operation, even friend-or-foe identification is difficult. Moreover, the Indian military does not have an integrated three-service data link system.
Pakistan Air Force JF-17 BLOCK3 fighters enter the battlefield at ultra-low altitude, commanded by the ZDK-2 early warning aircraft through communication data links. Approaching the S-400 anti-aircraft missile base near the Udhampur Air Base in India.
In the final moments, they launch the HD-1 supersonic missile, which travels at four times the speed of sound towards the Indian S-400 anti-aircraft missile system. The Indian Air Force jets are unable to take off and intercept the JF-17 fighters. Ultimately, the S-400 anti-aircraft missile system is destroyed in the explosion.
The HD-1 supersonic missile used by Pakistan Air Force this time was developed and produced by the private company Guangdong Hongda Blasting Group. This missile system has a maximum speed of four times the speed of sound and can maneuver on its trajectory, making it extremely difficult for the Indian air defense system to lock onto its entire flight path even if detected.
The HD-1 is a dual-purpose missile that can be used for anti-ship missions as well as ground attack cruise missiles. Public资料显示 show that the HD-1 supersonic cruise missile has a range of 290 kilometers, a cruising speed of about 2.5 Mach, an endgame penetration speed of up to 3.5 Mach, and carries a warhead weighing between 240-400 kilograms.
During the final attack phase, the altitude is only 5-10 meters. At this height, the S-400 anti-aircraft missile system cannot intercept it and may not even detect it. The radar detection height of the S-400 missile system is not that low.
Massive explosion at Indian missile depot
Pakistan Air Force accurately hit a BrahMos cruise missile depot in Punjab, India, causing a violent殉爆and a massive explosion.
A huge explosion occurred in Rajouri region under Indian control, with thick smoke rising. Rajouri Additional District Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of Rajouri district, Raj Kumar Thapa, along with two attendants, were killed in the blast.
Pakistan Army struck Indian mountain brigade headquarters, Udhampur Air Base, Gujarat Air Base, Uri field supply center, BrahMos supersonic missile depot in Nagrota region, and Indian artillery positions in Dalanyali.
The entire northern strike targets are now shrouded in smoke. Pakistan also launched a large-scale cyberattack, causing a complete power outage in areas controlled by India from Kashmir to Punjab. Jurri, Jammu, Aknur, Nagrota, Samba, Udhampur, and other places are all without electricity.
Russian forces must bomb Ukrainian power plants and transmission systems to cause blackouts in Ukraine. Pakistan directly launched a cyberwar, disabling 70% of India's grid system. Who do you think is feeling the most panic right now?
On this night, India first initiated the escalation of the war, launching missile and drone strikes against at least three Pakistani air force bases. Most of India's missiles and drones were intercepted by the HQ-9 and HQ-16 air defense missiles. However, one Indian missile hit runway No. 2 of the Nur Khan Air Base.
There are reports that an Indian missile and drone also hit a Pakistan C-130 transport plane parked at the airport, directly leading to a large-scale counterattack by the Pakistan military. The Pakistan Air Force has already crossed the border into India, and Pakistan drones have flown over New Delhi.
