On the morning of April 11, two batches of four aircraft took off to continue the aerial target training. The Fourth Regiment had one batch of two aircraft, and the Sixth Regiment had one batch of two aircraft. What caught Li Zhan’s attention was that Zhang Xueyang was already able to serve as an aerial target instructor.
The two-seat version of the Su-27 has a new pilot.
This is really incomparable. As I said before, burning aviation fuel is the way to go. In this regard, Li Zhan is inferior to many veteran pilots.
He was watching TV alone in the briefing room below the tower, his ears perked up, but his attention was entirely on the siren, hoping that it would sound quickly.
The white helmet is placed on the right thigh, and the right hand is pressed down. The red five-pointed star is still facing forward like a human being.
The news was playing on the TV, and the report about the preparations for the National Day military parade caught his attention. It is a tradition during the Tenth National Day, and this year’s National Day will definitely be a big one. For military fans and foreign media, the focus
Naturally, it is a new piece of equipment that will be unveiled to the public this year.
Every military parade will definitely be a perfect opportunity for foreign media to get a glimpse of the leopard. Not all the main equipment of the Chinese army may be pulled out for a walk, but the main equipment that can show up must be the main equipment. As a pilot, Li Zhan is naturally concerned about the impact of the Air Force.
Review the situation of the formation. Of course, he knows more than the common people.
The J-11 is definitely a must, and there is a high probability that it will be the latest B-type.
Li Zhan became a little excited when he thought of this.
They are both J-11s, but the early models and the B-types are completely different things.
The earliest J-11 was a completely assembled version, with parts provided by Russia and assembled by Shenyang Aircraft Company. The first flight was completed as early as 1998. In other words, the early model of J-11 is not the same as the Sixth Regiment now.
The Su-27 used is no different, it still has the same cockpit full of instruments, full of the sense of déjà vu from the 1970s.
As for the B-type, after thoroughly understanding the technology of the Su-27, Shenfei focused on improving the avionics. Maozi's avionics system is known to be as good as shit. It took five or six years to do this.
Nearly 200 improvements were made, and it only flew for the first time in 2006. It can be said to be on a different level from the previous models.
The Second Division is the main division of Guangkong and the Air Force. At that time, there were two batches of forty-eight Su-27s, half of which were in the Second Division. In other words, if the Second Division wants to modify the J-11, it will definitely not be old-fashioned.
The early model has been shown, but it will be the latest model B.
Li Zhan was excited about the opportunity to fly the J-11b soon. After confirming that he had missed the "villain" of the J-10, the J-11b was probably his only expectation.
Among the equipment reviewed by the Air Force, except for this aircraft, he was not interested in anything else. Looking at some of the Army equipment that could be seen on the training screen on the news broadcast, Li Zhan realized that the spring of the old land was coming, and the new equipment was definitely
The largest among the four military branches.
Needless to say about the navy, there is no way for the ship to land on land anyway, and what’s more, that thing won’t become a climate in less than 180 years. It takes more than ten or twenty years for a destroyer to be launched from the project establishment, but you can’t count tanks and fighter jets.
Shit.
While I was thinking wildly, the alarm rang without any suspense.
It is now twelve o'clock at noon, and if there is still no empty space in a while, another pilot will replace him.
Came just in time.
When Li Zhan picked up his helmet and ran outside, he remembered a saying often said by the people of the Second Division: Stay with the air. The pilots of the brother forces in the mainland may not be able to encounter an air situation and an external aircraft in their flying careers.
It's a good deal, and in the Second Division, I'm not used to not being free for a few days.
Aces have trump reasons.
He does this every once in a while against strong enemies, even if he doesn't want to be strong.
Fighter No. 37 is parked in the duty position, and the engine has been started. It is no different from the usual duty fighter. The maintenance team is nervously doing preparatory inspections. There is a backup aircraft parked next to it. If the duty fighter cannot fly, the backup will be used.
machine.
Jumping into the cockpit with ease, Li Zhan put on his helmet with the help of the mechanic, plugged the call line into the external interface, then quickly checked the status of each system, quickly signed his name, and the mechanic patted his helmet to signal the end.
, Li Zhan closed the canopy and opened it backwards with an independent front windshield.
After removing the boarding ladder, the instructor gave instructions to slide out.
Li Zhan quickly skidded out to the take-off position not far away, received permission from the tower, and without stopping at all, directly increased the engine speed. When it reached the take-off value, he released the brakes. No. 37 began the approach, and he continued to push the throttle lever to the end. Fighter No. 37
It took off with a roar, and the takeoff distance was much shorter than usual. As soon as the landing gear left the ground, it retracted to reduce wind resistance and gain more lift as quickly as possible.
The tower commander is Yu Chenglin. He is also the regiment leader who organized the training today, and he and a deputy commander of the Sixth Regiment form the chief and deputy commanders.
Seeing this scene, Lin Haodong, the deputy commander of the Sixth Regiment, said with a smile, "Is this your new pilot? I heard he is called Brother No. 1? This action is quite good, very neat."
"The nicknames that little brats pick up randomly, like one brother and two brothers. There are no brothers in the army, only comrades." Yu Chenglin adjusted his sunglasses.
The sun is shining brightly outside, but the clouds are very high. If you look carefully, you can even see a passenger plane cruising at an altitude of 10,000 meters. It is extremely clear. But everyone knows that in this place in Xi County, after noon, large groups of dark clouds may cover the sky.
Come here. During this season, the training window of the Second Division is almost always in the morning.
It was already twelve o'clock, and I was afraid that Li Zhan would encounter bad weather when he came back.
Air conditions are nothing else. If there are no conditions, we must create conditions. There are many situations where we take off under pressure to deal with air conditions in weather where flying is obviously not allowed. What pilots do is to work against God. You can't do it
Depending on the weather and the enemy, you can only stare blankly.
"The Southern Index reported that an unidentified aircraft appeared in the No. 3 airspace. It is suspected to be a high-altitude slow-speed flying object. After identifying the situation, we will report it. This operation will be commanded by the Xi County Tower." Yu Chenglin reported the situation to Li Zhan who was climbing.
When Li Zhan heard this, he suddenly felt a little bored.
Airspace No. 3 is just south of Xi County, only a hundred kilometers away. Therefore, it is usually commanded by the closer Xi County tower. There is no need to go far and hand it over to the south. The so-called high-altitude slow-speed flying objects are 80% local hot air balloon enthusiasts.
The target of the high-altitude balloon being released is very small. If the brothers in the radar unit can detect it, it is definitely very impressive.
"Dong Sanguai understands."
After entering airspace No. 3, Li Zhan slowed down and opened the airbrake halfway.
Yu Chenglin noticed that the speed of fighter No. 037 suddenly slowed down a lot, and he immediately judged it and reminded, "Dongsanguai, pay attention to the speed."
"Understood." Li Zhan replied, making sure that the fighter plane's posture was balanced and did not encounter turbulent airflow, and then he looked around to find the target.
The location detected by radar is relatively accurate. The Chinese Air Force Radar Force even had the ability to detect F-117 stealth fighters in the 1990s. In terms of radar force construction, the Air Force Radar Force has always been at the forefront. And because of this branch of the military
It is extremely confidential and does not have much publicity, so it is rarely known. Just like the Army's electronic jamming unit, no matter how powerful the special forces are, it cannot match the level of confidentiality.
Therefore, Li Zhan saw the target without much effort.
"High-altitude balloon? It also has a tail?" Li Zhan was a little surprised. It was not a hot air balloon, but probably a hydrogen balloon.
"Tower, we found the target and judged it to be a hydrogen balloon with a towing object. I'm going to take a closer look now," Li Zhan reported.
Yu Chenglin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Pay attention to your speed and distance."
"clear."
After Li Zhan flew over, he roughly understood what was going on. The ground was probably a town. Naturally, he was very familiar with the landmarks with a radius of 500 kilometers. He could tell that it was a town, not a county town. He flew around the balloon for two times.
Circle, Li Zhan even saw clearly the words on the towed object: husband and wife fly together with the same heart.
It really fucking flew.
"To the tower, the towed object is a banner. The couple is flying together with one heart and one mind. It is judged to be a hydrogen balloon used for ordinary people's wedding banquets. Please ask for instructions on the next step." Li Zhizhi reported with a wry smile.
Yu Chenglin and other personnel on duty at the tower also chuckled.
It must be that the family at the wedding banquet did not prepare the balloon and the banners flew up. With the improvement of living standards, the level of local people's wedding banquets has also increased. If you don't make a good-looking wife, you will lose face in all parts of the country.
.If it is economical, get some inflatable door signs, hang a large balloon on the left and right, and drag two banners, so that those who come to the banquet can see it from a distance, it will be more atmospheric.
This situation is rare. Many balloons burst before they reach very high. The quality of the one in front of me is much better. It is a rare conscientious businessman.
Yu Chenglin is also in trouble, what should he do?
This is really not a UFO. It can even be said that it is not even an air conditioner. But if you don’t care, who knows how high and far it will fly. If it goes to the take-off and landing routes of civil aviation, it will be safe.
Hidden danger. Forty kilometers to the east of Xi County is Nangang Airport. There are nearly 70 flights taking off and landing every day. If it crashes, the responsibility will be on the troops.
China's airspace management rights rest with the Air Force. Every route in the hands of civil aviation is handed over by the Air Force. Any airspace used by civil aviation is demarcated by the Air Force. Civil aviation aircraft must operate outside the prescribed airspace and routes.
Report to the Air Force in advance for approval.
Ensuring airspace security is the mission responsibility of the Air Force.
Li Zhan probably guessed that Yu Chenglin was in trouble. He thought for a while and asked for instructions, "Tower, I brought a machine gun, can I shoot it down?"
A balloon is just a balloon, and it is considered to be shooting at an empty target in advance. The difficulty in dealing with a target like a balloon is to find it. Once you find it, it is not difficult to destroy it. Moreover, because there are very few targets, there is almost no speed to deal with this kind of target.
Using air-to-air missiles to hit a target will be several times more difficult than using a machine gun.
No. 037 was a flight on duty and must be loaded with live ammunition, but it did not carry air-to-air missiles.
"Dongsanguai is waiting for orders. I'll ask my superiors for instructions."
"clear!"
At this time, Li Zhan once again circled the nose of the plane to the east, so he saw that Xi County in the north was slowly being covered by a large dark cloud moving from east to west.
Will you allow me to prepare for landing in western Guangxi later?
