An Iranian fighter jet flies high above the Line of Control, which marks the contested border between Indian and Pakistan. The airplane appears to be in trouble. The pilot seems to have a problem with the craft's flight control surfaces. Smoke trails behind its port engine. Apparetly it does not have the ability to emit any electronic signals and is unable to fire its missiles if required to do so.
An enemy aircraft, smelling blood and sensing an easy combat victory closes in for the easy kill.
Sometimes, appearances can be deceiving.
This story provides a unique look at the Iranian militry.
This was a good short story. I’m a disabled vet myself and a former fighter aircraft crew chief. I found the technical descriptions refreshingly accurate which made this story even more entertaining. I’ve read both of the Harry Miles story and my big question is when is the 3rd installment coming? You can’t leave this hanging! Full length novel please 😁
