The Russians moved much faster than expected. The first was the production chain of air defense missiles. All technical equipment arrived in Basra a week later. Canglong had already begun planning an underground missile production base before that, so after the technical equipment was in place ,The next step is production,
Canglong's goal is to produce one thousand sets of S-3 air defense missile radar vehicles. Although this is a project as long as the Great Wall, it is not impossible as long as the technology is in place.
Half a month later, all parts of the five MiG-29s and five Su-3s were also transported to the base. With the busy work of Russian technicians and workers, the assembly of the aircraft took about five days. Ten aircraft They are neatly placed in the hangar of the base. For the newly established Air Force, seeing these things is like seeing a treasure.
But they still lacked pilots. Although Soryu had ordered to search for former Iraqi pilots at the original Basra Air Force Base, they only found three people, and of these three, two were unwilling to join the Air Force. As the top commander of the Air Force, Bai Chang did not force them.
This is not because he is very democratic, on the contrary, if these two pilots who are unwilling to join are really good, he will definitely try his best to "force" them to join, even if it is "force". The reason is that Bai Chang's lack of confidence in them is really disappointing, and their flight time is probably not as good as that of the security force's air force, [
On the one hand, he has no extraordinary ability, and on the other hand, he has no self-confidence. If we really want to start a war and send them up, Bai Chang is still afraid that they will waste the only planes he has. After all, these are the planes Canglong spent a lot of money to buy. , driving them is a waste,
Bai Chang and Aziz are already two people serving as twenty people, and they are training their own pilots day and night. But are pilots really so easy to train? The answer is no. Although they have airplanes, they don't. It is a training aircraft, and there is no simulation equipment.
The first requirement for a pilot is physical fitness. Those who have missing limbs or obvious body deformities, those who have a history of craniotomy, thoracotomy and head trauma coma, those who often have low back and leg pain or a history of fractures within one year, those who have chronic People with gastrointestinal disease or those who have suffered from infectious hepatitis after 7 years old,
Those with a history of food or drug allergies who have severe partial eclipses and do not eat pigs, beef, or mutton; those who have suffered from meningitis, encephalitis, nephritis, tuberculosis, or asthma and frequent coughs; those who often have headaches, dizziness, insomnia, and families And those who have mental illness, epilepsy or a history of coma, stutter, have sleepwalking, or who still "wet" the bed after the age of 13,
Deafness, frequent tinnitus or ear discharge, nausea and vomiting when traveling by car or boat; those who have lost more than 3 teeth or have obvious malocclusion; those who have obvious strabismus; learners who usually wear glasses and those who are night blind, etc.
One more thing, if you have tattoos or obvious scars on your body, if you have any of the above conditions, I’m sorry, but I can’t help you.
Is flight recruitment really so strict? Well, it is really that strict. This is not only for the safety of the pilots themselves. The biggest reason is because they are flying fighter jets, which is likely to cause them to fly under high air pressure. It may cause discomfort. Once this problem occurs, the result will definitely be a plane crash, and it may even cause damage to people on the ground.
The above conditions are just the physical examination requirements for pilots. There are still various difficulties waiting for them later, so whoever wants to be a pilot must weigh them first.
Not to mention in Basra, the probability of finding such conditions in China is actually not high, so you can imagine how valuable pilots are.
The people of Basra, who have experienced war for many years, how many are qualified? Out of a population of two million, Bai Chang found ten who barely passed, and if these ten were according to the standards of the Chinese Air Force, they could just pack up and leave. People are gone,
The people have been recruited, but training is difficult. From forming a flying team to a flying squadron, these ten people have been trained for no less than three months. They have not yet passed the cultural knowledge, let alone getting them on the plane to fly. Yes, and most modern air force pilots have equipment to simulate the air environment.
To become a real pilot, you must first stay in these simulated aerial environments for a year and a half. You can look at the plane, but you are guaranteed to never "touch" the plane.
Once the simulation environment is up to standard, the training will officially begin. As for those who are not up to standard, just pack up and get out.
Can you become a pilot after passing simulated environment training? The answer is still no. Of course you can "touch" the aircraft now, but in the next few years of training, you will only be qualified to sit as a co-pilot in a trainer aircraft. , this is the importance of a training aircraft. It is impossible for a soldier who has passed through a simulated environment to fly in a plane for the first time, unless you are really a genius among geniuses.
Of course, even if you are, your instructor will not treat you as a genius unless he wants to shit you.
Of course, there is another possibility: to fly a small civilian aircraft instead of a real fighter jet. After several years of training and various assessments, you will only have the skills when you actually sit in the driving seat of a trainer aircraft. One has the qualification to become a pilot, and what follows will be a series of assessments, the most important of which is political review. I won’t explain this in detail. You know,
If you pass, you are qualified to become a pilot. If you fail, sorry, get out of here. Even if you are excellent, as long as your instructor says that you are unqualified, you will get out of here immediately and there will be no mercy.
If you have passed all the above and you have actually flown a fighter jet, congratulations, you have finally realized your dream and you are a real pilot.
However, what you will face next is restful training. Although the food is good, you have to repeat your training every day, just like driving a bus. This is the case for pilots in peacetime. It is no longer good to wait. If you change your career, you can become a captain in civil aviation. The job will definitely be assigned to you, but the prerequisite is that the army is willing to let you go. If not, then congratulations, and serve the country honestly. [
For Bai Chang, he is now impoverished. In addition to his cultural background, his difficulty is that he has no simulation equipment, let alone a training aircraft. Most of the current fighter jets are single-seaters, and there are very few two-seat fighter jets. Most of them are training aircraft or heavy bombers.
Xiami's missile troops can carry out practical exercises, and Bai Chang's armored troops and artillery can also drive here and there without any trouble, and shoot targets when they are free. Only Bai Chang's air force cannot use this method. Otherwise, even if Canglong doesn't strangle him to death, he will strangle himself to death. Planes are rare and precious, and there are only so many young pilots. He can't afford to lose any of them.
At a critical moment, Aziz gave him an idea: "If we continue to train like this, we will not be able to form combat effectiveness in three months, let alone three years. By then, the air force will be just a decoration. Of course Bai Chang also realized this
Asked, but Nai said: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Bai Chang had an idea before, which was to send pilots to China or Russia for training. Everything there was ready-made, but this was directly rejected by Canglong. It was very simple, let alone the training requirements.
Money, and secondly, if he is brainwashed by others, he will not lose his wife and lose his troops,
After this plan was rejected, Bai Chang made up his mind. Aziz suddenly ran over to complain, which was reasonable. However, what he didn't expect was that Aziz gave him a surprise, and Aziz smiled.
He said with a smile: "We have pilots, but the security forces do. I am very aware of the current situation at the Baghdad Air Force Base."
Bai Chang's eyes lit up: "Can you instigate all your colleagues to rebel?"
"Of course, they are all former Iraqi Air Force people. They thought they were Americans and we had a good life, but they thought" At this point, Aziz gritted his teeth. Obviously this was one of the reasons why he ran away.
I'm sure things have gotten harder for them since I left."
Bai Chang thought in his mind, that's right. The Americans are planning to train some kind of air force for Iraq, which is just for show. After all, they want to strike a balance. Aziz, the only honorable project that can fly the F16, ran away. In Baghdad
Of course, life is not easy for pilots.
"How sure are you?" Bai Chang asked,
"If nothing else happens, I have 90% chance." Aziz was full of confidence.
But Bai Chang frowned. Although pilots in Baghdad are not favored by Americans, they are treated well. Why should they come to your side and work for you? For the sake of the country, but Basra is not the same.
A country still has the title of a province. The most important thing is that Canglong has money. People who instigate rebellion must have money. Now they have one money, two prospects, and three points. They want whatever they want. Bai Chang can't imagine it.
The person on the opposite side will be instigated by Aziz,
So Bai Chang explained his reasons, but Aziz smiled and said: "First promise a high price to deceive them, and then wait."
Bai Chang was stunned, looked at Aziz and smiled: "You are more sinister than me."
"Didn't you just fool me like this?" Aziz asked, "What's more, I believe in the future of Basra, and I also believe that the prophet can lead us to strength. The hardships are only temporary."
Bai Chang was touched by what he said next. From Aziz's words, he felt the positive effects of what Canglong had done. At least now the whole of Basra gave people a prosperous future, and everyone put their hope in it.
For him, even though Bai Chang thought, there was actually no future for him.
Nonsense, is there a future for going against a superpower? After discussing it, Bai Chang decided to do it. He said it first and later, but before doing it again, he had to report to Canglong. With Canglong's support, he
There is no way to contact these former Iraqi Air Force pilots,
So he reported the plan. He thought Canglong would stop it, but he thought Canglong looked happy: "Go ahead, why don't you do something that can make Natasha jump? Let Su fully cooperate with you and instigate as many rebellions as he can.
