The sun's rays are very strong at noon, especially at an altitude of 7,000 meters. You can easily feel the strong ultraviolet rays that seem to pass through the mask.
Li Zhan lightly pedaled the left rudder and pressed the control stick to the left, and the fighter plane tilted left and turned left. Nie Jianfeng looked down, and all he could see was bare mountainous desert without eight o'clock green. When he looked far away, the sky and the earth intersected,
I feel like I and the fighter plane are like the sandwich in a sandwich biscuit. If I'm not careful, I will be crushed by the heaven and the earth.
Flying without reference objects on the ground is easy to cause misunderstandings. Sometimes you may even think it is the sky but you are actually flying towards the ground. Therefore, new pilots are repeatedly warned: Don’t trust your feelings, trust the instrument data.
, even if it is wrong!
There are three types of information that are easiest for pilots to visually capture in the middle of any occupied console: altitude, speed, and pitch angle. Theoretically, as long as pilots can obtain these three types of data, they can fly safely without any other data.
.
"Old Li, are we spinning in circles?" Nie Jianfeng noticed that Li Zhan had been circling.
Li Zhan said, "There is no feedback from the ground target area yet. We have to wait until they report the specific location of the target area to the tower, and the tower will give us the order before we can conduct live-fire training."
"It's quite interesting. Everything is unknown and it tests the pilot's on-the-spot reaction ability." Nie Jianfeng suppressed the excitement in his heart and said as calmly as possible.
Li Zhan said, "Yes, this is actual combat training. Think about it, if a war breaks out in the future, in order to shorten the process from discovery to attack, the fighter aircraft responsible for air strikes must take off first, and then wait for ground reconnaissance troops or
The air reconnaissance team confirms the target, and the strike fleet goes directly to launch the attack, eliminating the need to take off and rush to the theater, which greatly improves the efficiency of the operation."
"Yes, but only Su Liangqi can do this. Of course, the Flying Leopard can also do it, the J-11 series can do it, and the Su-30 can do it. Well, the advantages of long-range heavy fighter jets have been demonstrated." Nie Jianfeng said.
Li Zhan said, "So why do superiors want to test Su Liangqi's live-fire shooting performance in this region? The western region is vast, and it takes hundreds of kilometers to travel. In the past, when driving Qiye, it was too embarrassed to take off without three auxiliary fuel tanks."
Nie Jianfeng laughed loudly, "Su Liangqi doesn't have to worry about his long legs. By the way, have you ever seen Su Liangqi hang an auxiliary fuel tank? Maozi didn't develop a corresponding auxiliary fuel tank for him back then."
"The fuel capacity in the aircraft is more than Qiye's maximum takeoff weight, so what kind of auxiliary fuel tanks are there? Don't you know best? In normal training, the Sixth Regiment takes off with full fuel several times. I dare say that the wing fuel tanks are definitely not filled with fuel.
." Li Zhan said.
"That's right." Nie Jianfeng said, "I usually carry four or five tons during training, and I travel more than two thousand kilometers casually. I usually only feed them during long-distance police patrols."
Shrugging, Li Zhan once again turned left and drew a beautiful arc, saying, "Kai Qiye, what I am most worried about is the fuel quantity. I have to pay attention to the fuel consumption. Kaisu Liangqi is just the opposite. I don't need it the least."
What I’m worried about is the amount of fuel.”
A fully fueled Su-27 can stay in the air for three to four hours without any problems. If it maintains a high-altitude endurance, it can even last for more than five hours. Generally, a large early warning aircraft can stay in the air for only seven or eight hours. This is the maximum time for a long-range heavy fighter.
Advantages, long airborne time means strong continuous combat capability.
Don't look at the Yankees' f-15, which boasts so much. Their early models could only run 2,500 kilometers after they were exhausted, and the subsequent modifications went through a lot of effort to barely exceed 3,000 kilometers. As for the f-15,
Not to mention the shitty mounting capabilities of -15.
So the Yankees' avionics are not a little or two better than Maozi's, but one or two generations more advanced. What they talk about is precise attack point warfare, and what Maozi flatters is "I'll fucking cover it all for you." This kind of combat thinking
Guided the research and development of respective weapons and equipment.
The torrent of red armor that was once deployed in Eastern Europe, the proposal of a large-depth armored assault combat theory, and the whole of Europe trembling under the red cavalry, are closely related to Mao Zi's combat thoughts.
Our country stands on the shoulders of giants and touches the heads of powerful enemies to cross the river, so it has the advantage of being a latecomer - if others have already crossed the river, our road will be easier.
After turning for more than an hour, I still couldn't feel that the fighter aircraft had become lighter. This shows how terrifying the fuel capacity of the Long-Legged Su is.
"Hey, Liangguai, the command post called Liangguai and received the answer." Following the sound of slight electromagnetic interference, the second tower called, and it was Xue Xiangdong's voice.
Li Zhan quickly replied, "I received the two crutches, please tell me."
"First fly to the southwest of T Mountain. The specific location of the target area will be reported later. It's over." Xue Xiangdong said.
Li Zhan replied, "Understood. The specific location of the target area in the southwest of T Mountain will be reported later. It's over."
Nie Jianfeng couldn't help but ask, "You know where to fly without guidance?"
Li Zhan raised the portable GPS navigator and turned it on, "I brought this with me, and along with the aeronautical map, I won't get lost wherever I fly."
"You even brought a navigation device..." Nie Jianfeng was convinced.
"What can we do? Our satellite positioning system has not become popular yet, so we can only do it in an emergency." Li Zhan said, "But even without this thing, we won't get lost. I am very familiar with this area, and I am very familiar with this area."
The second night flight live-fire training was in the same area. I just brought it with me just in case."
As Li Zhan spoke, he pushed the accelerator and sped towards T Mountain.
"Turn twice, maintain altitude and fly over the city ahead. There are civil aviation routes above and below you. It's over." Xue Xiangdong reminded.
Li Zhan replied, "Understood, maintain the altitude, command post, you can check my heading to see if it is the best route. Over."
After a while, Xue Xiangdong said, "Adjust it twenty degrees clockwise and avoid the city altogether. That's it."
"Adjust twenty degrees to the north, complete."
Li Zhan adjusted the route, pushed the throttle lever with his left hand to the end, and the fighter jet roared and accelerated towards the mission airspace. He was still calm and did not turn on the afterburner rashly. It is easier to exceed the speed of sound by turning on the afterburner under such a mounting situation.
Yes, once the speed of sound is exceeded, those rocket launchers will have problems because it will exceed the working environment of the rocket launcher.
"Command post, arrived at the mission airspace, completed." Li Zhan reported.
It was already more than half an hour later, and he had run more than 500 kilometers. At this time, Nie Jianfeng had an intuitive impression of the vastness of the western region. He could fly for two or three hours and still be in the same province.
Several regions in the central, eastern, northern and southern parts are unimaginable.
In the northern part of Inner Mongolia, it is long from east to west but narrow from north to south. If you fly from north to south, you will need to press the throttle deeper to pass.
"Liangguai, please contact the ground to confirm the location of the target area. It's over." Xue Xiangdong issued new instructions.
"Understood, I'll contact the ground, over." Li Zhan replied.
Nie Jianfeng in the back cabin was confused after hearing this. When did the 73rd Division install a communication system for these Su-27s that can directly communicate with the personnel in the ground range?
Just when he was wondering, he suddenly saw Li Zhan in the front cabin taking out a mobile phone. It was not a mobile phone, but a satellite phone! Did this guy bring a treasure box? Why did he have everything! Also, he was flying a fighter jet to fight.
Satellite phone? This picture is so weird and weird.
In this situation, he didn't dare to talk or ask, so he could only store up his curiosity and cross-examine Li Zhan properly when he returned to the scene.
"Old Nie, the superiors have new requirements. We need to strike first, save some ammunition and wait for orders to strike again. I guess we need to see the effect of our first live fire before making a decision." Li Zhan said.
Nie Jianfeng was in a surging mood, "No problem, let's use the ammunition on the wings first and save the two in the air intakes."
Li Zhan quickly calculated and said, "Okay, the four twin wings on the wing have a total of eight launchers and fifty-six rockets, which is enough to cover the target area. You can hit it accurately. Long-legged Su's opening show
, it is also the opening ceremony for your Comrade Nie Jianfeng to officially transfer to the 73rd Division."
"Just keep your heart in your stomach and I'll take the shot later," Nie Jianfeng said.
Li Zhan said, "I'll drive first, and you'll accept it after entering the attack route. If there's any problem before that, you can directly take over the control."
"That's okay. I'll be more confident this way." Nie Jianfeng thought about it for a moment and agreed.
It can be seen from the previous more than two hours of flying that Li Zhan has no problem flying alone. It is just a simple dive and bombing flight. He can achieve full results with a fighter with the minimum airspeed of the J-7e.
Not to mention the Lisu King, who can take off at a speed of 240 hours.
Li Zhan had engaged in a similar live-fire shooting, and it was at night, so he definitely had more experience than Nie Jianfeng. The most important thing is that Li Zhan had to fly the fighter plane into the attack route, which meant that he determined the attack route.
It was up to him to designate the approximate location of the aiming point. This was something that Nie Jianfeng could not control.
The No. 27 Long-Legged Sussex descended to altitude. While Li Zhan was controlling the fighter plane, he was busy using a satellite phone to communicate with the target area support team on the ground.
"Tiger Tiger, I am Falcon, I'm at the lower altitude. Over."
"Falcon, I saw you, but your direction is wrong. Can you see the red smoke?" Tiger replied.
Li Zhan said, "I can see that the target is very clear. The direction will not be wrong. I am professional."
"Very good, it's up to you. We have withdrawn to a safe distance, you can go ahead and do it," said the tiger.
Li Zhan said, "I understand, leave it to me, it's over."
Putting the satellite phone into the front pocket of the flight vest, Li Zhan gently pressed the pressure lever and adjusted the direction of the nose of the aircraft by pedaling the rudder. The third-generation aircraft became more and more comfortable as it was driven, unlike the J-7, which required two hands and two legs after a flight.
It doesn't look like it's your own anymore. To drive the first-generation and second-generation machines well, it's absolutely impossible if you don't have strong arm and leg strength.
"Old Nie, I leave it to you!" Li Zhan said loudly after entering the attack route.
Nie Jianfeng immediately switched the control over and continued with the following steps, "Understood! Look at me!"
The rear cabin of the trainer aircraft has absolute control. Even if the front cabin is unwilling or unable to hand over the control rights, the rear cabin can completely and completely take over the control of the fighter aircraft. Although the su-27ubk is a combat trainer aircraft,
This point has not changed. To put it bluntly, this is the principle of training aircraft - the trainer team's fighter aircraft has absolute priority control.
Nie Jianfeng pressed the launch button steadily, and the rocket launcher under the wing that had been powered on quickly sent out rockets. Fire dragons appeared in mid-air and rushed towards the target at lightning speed.
The target area is a 100% scale simulated building complex. They are all earthen houses that are almost the same color as the ground. There are red smoke on the north and south sides of the building complex. The attack area is between the two red smokes, basically covering the entire area.
Simulate building complex.
Some army units often set up some simulated buildings for urban combat training. After being abandoned, based on the principle of making the best use of the buildings, they are handed over to other units as targets. Generally, they are given to the artillery units to conduct simulated attacks on enemy urban areas.
The target was covered with fire. The aircrew did not know how to contact them and snatched the target from the army artillery unit.
Nie Jianfeng controlled the airspeed at 250 kilometers, aimed and fired calmly. He used the J-7 to hit ground targets more times than Li Zhan, and he had a deeper understanding of the differences between the two aircraft types.
How different is the ground attack posture? In the past, he could not fight well with the J-7. Later, after modifying the Su-27, he could easily fight well. In the final analysis, the air speed of the J-7 was too high.
This is an unsolvable equipment disadvantage.
"Lao Nie, pull up, pull up, pull up!" Li Zhan suddenly shouted.
Nie Jianfeng immediately pulled up his horse and at the same time pushed the throttle lever all the way. The two AK-31F aircraft engines of No. 27 Long-Legged Su roared and burst out with powerful thrust, pushing the behemoth weighing 20 tons to climb up.
Li Zhan kept looking back, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"It looks like the effect is very good. I think we can still have the ammunition in the air intake." Li Zhan said, "But let's wait for the target report. The ground support team will report the results to the superiors, and the superiors will decide whether to conduct a second live-fire training
."
Nie Jianfeng was still frightened. He would never say a single word about the scene he just saw. He said, "It's not a good idea to use up all the ammunition and return to the scene with ammunition."
"I think so too." Li Zhan smiled.
Nie Jianfeng became more and more convinced that it was the right choice to stay in the 73rd Division. If the Flying Shark Training Team could participate in live-fire training like this every once in a while, I wouldn't be a trainer of the Flying Shark Training Team!
How can it be so exciting to fight with real swords and guns?
There are two things that excite the soldiers the most every day. The first is a holiday. There is no need to do training or education classes. This is always what the officers and soldiers look forward to. There is no doubt that the second thing is to fire live ammunition and use real weapons.
Fighting with a gun is always more exciting than gesticulating with an empty gun.
"Liangguai, I'm the command post. We fought well, almost full circle. The target area support team has withdrawn. You should return to the field." Xue Xiangdong called Li Zhan.
Li Zhan hesitated for a moment and asked for instructions, "Command Post, I still have ammunition. Please continue the attack. Over."
There is a certain danger in landing with bombs. Those are unsafe ammunition. Xue Xiangdong only hesitated for a while before giving decisive instructions, "Agree, the two crutches will continue to attack the designated target and simulate a second attack. After shooting, follow the instructions
Return to the designated route, completed."
"Liangguai understands!"
Li Zhan said, "Old Nie, I will come this time and you will watch."
"Understood." Nie Jianfeng's mood was still difficult to calm down. He was happy enough, and it was okay to let Li Zhan pick up some scraps.
When Nie Jianfeng was fighting just now, Li Zhan had been feeling and observing, simulating the attack procedure in his mind. Now it was time to actually do it, and he was brought in easily, smoother than he imagined.
Li Zhan entered the attack route at a faster airspeed. Just when Nie Jianfeng was about to warn him, he suddenly discovered that Li Zhan had actually raised the speed brake on the back of the plane!
"Damn it, Lao Li, you really know how to play!" Nie Jianfeng was stunned. He knew that this kid couldn't be calm. He would never fly without some outrageous moves, even if he hasn't been able to fly Long Leg Su solo yet.
.
Li Zhan chuckled, and when the airspeed of the fighter dropped to 220 kilometers, he steadily aimed and pressed the launch button, and conducted a second shot at some areas that were not completely covered by the billowing smoke and open flames of the target area.
After the strike, all the remaining twenty-eight 90mm caliber rockets were fired.
Immediately afterwards, he retracted the speed brake and pushed the throttle lever but did not pull it up in a hurry. Instead, he continued to dive downward for a certain distance in an attacking posture before pulling up at a high elevation angle to climb, drawing a beautiful "U" shape.
Flight route. Nie Jianfeng noticed that the lowest relative altitude just now was 300 meters, which was a relatively dangerous distance.
Li Zhan's rhythm was very good, and he would not be hurt by the prefabricated fragments of the rocket warhead that exploded on the ground. Some reckless pilots who pretended to overdo it and pulled up too late either hit the ground or were injured by the ammunition they fired.
Sorry, such examples have never happened before.
"Langguai call, complete the second attack, prepare to return." Li Zhan called the tower.
Xue Xiangdong breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "The command post has received it. You can return to the scene with two turns. Maintain an altitude heading and be careful not to intrude on the civil aviation route. Over."
"Liangguai understands. Keep the heading altitude and return to the field. It's over." Li Zhan replied and asked Nie Jianfeng, "Old Nie, how do you feel? Is it particularly exciting?"
"Yes, and it's very meaningful!" Nie Jianfeng nodded heavily.
Li Zhan glanced at the fuel gauge and said, "There is still a lot of fuel. It's a pity that we, Old Li, are not allowed to continue flying."
After three hours and more than 2,000 kilometers of driving, the fuel gauge showed that there was still one-third of the fuel remaining, which made Li Zhan feel deeply guilty.
"Speaking of which, I rarely return before the fuel alarm. It was the same in the Second Division, and it was similar in the 73rd Division. Every time I got stuck, the alarm light came on when I saw the runway." Li Zhan
Said with emotion.
Nie Jianfeng said, "It's too risky. If there is any situation, there will be no room for it."
"Can you say something nice? I wonder if I'm flying at the moment?" Li Zhan seized the opportunity and scolded him.
"Okay, okay, my fault, my fault." Nie Jianfeng was in a good mood and didn't care about Li Zhan.
The advantage of a two-seater fighter is that you won’t be bored or tired when working together, and at least you have someone to chat with. When you fly a fighter like the Long-leg Su, you will run long distances. There is someone to remind you not to fall asleep and hit the guardrail for safety.
There are many. One of the reasons why people at Hainan Airlines like two-seater aircraft is this. The sea and sky are the same color, so it is easy to have an illusion, but the probability of two people having the illusion at the same time is too low. The ones that fly into the sea with the car open are all single-seaters.
There are very few airplanes and two-seat airplanes.
Landing smoothly, Long Legs Su's opening show ended perfectly, and Nie Jianfeng answered the first test paper of joining the 73rd Division beautifully.
