Chapter 506 Flying over the Hongla Navigation Station
A famous actor once said: Even a piece of toilet paper has its uses.
From the perspective of objective idealism, the existence of any thing has its necessity and its existence logic, but it does not mean that there is a rationality for existence, such as a criminal. Looking at the existence of a certain thing usually requires considering reality
The background is generally believed that things that appear in the historical development trajectory will inevitably appear, such as war, but it does not mean that war is reasonable.
Specifically speaking of the update of weapons and equipment, we can generally believe that the second-generation aircraft cannot deny its existence or its former significance just because it is defeated by the third-generation aircraft. More specifically, the J-11 cannot beat the J-10 does not mean the former.
Losing the meaning of existence and its logic.
From the perspective of national defense strategy, the J-11 and J-10 are both important components of national defense forces under the current context of the times, and they have their own tactical tasks.
But we cannot simply think that there is no comparison between the two.
As Li Zhan believed, from the perspective of subjective idealism, there will definitely be situations in the future where the J-11 meets the F-16, and the J-11 must defeat the F-16. Just as China and the United States must
There was a war when conflicts were irreconcilable and wars were necessary, but whether the war was 50 years later or a hundred years later was unknown.
As soldiers, what Li Zhans should do is to continuously enhance their combat effectiveness and be ready to fight with the enemy to defend the unity and integrity of the motherland's territorial sovereignty, and annihilate all invading enemies.
Based on these considerations, Li Zhan and others value tactical methods derived from confrontation and related thinking. From this perspective, the upcoming confrontation exercise with friendly forces is of great significance.
After three days of confrontation and joint training, the communication pilot team composed of Li Zhan, Chen Fei, Han Hongjun and Li Zixin achieved the goal of enhancing the tacit understanding between each other. After a whole day of rest and preparation, the superiors officially issued the
The orders set out by the military exchange team.
On the last day of January 2012, on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the military exchange team was ordered to take off at 10:30 am. At 8:00 Beijing time, the sky was already large in the eastern region, but the area where Duda Station was located was still at dawn.
The darkness before.
Li Zhan and four other pilots got up as required and immediately began to organize their personal belongings and items they needed to carry. They used standard handbags, which were soft and large in size, and were very capable of loading. The related items distributed by superiors in accordance with regulations and items they needed to use in person.
, However, even personal items are required. The superior has a detailed list to issue. Items outside the list are not allowed to be carried, such as gadgets such as ear-drawing spoons.
Guo Beimu accompanied the heads of the relevant military district departments to check the carrying bags of the four pilots and their outfits. It was as detailed as whether the edges of the armbands were fitted completely, and the carefulness was that I could even count my hair.
Counted.
Such a point test is common for those who are in the army.
When it was time to check the guns I carried with me, the department head was particularly serious. After repeatedly checking and confirming that there was no live ammunition and no faults, he looked at Li Zhan and others one by one and buttoned them into the holster on his waist.
At the moment of buttoning, I can no longer use the gun.
This military exchange has a coordinated drill mission, so the pilots are required to set off in combat attire. Since they are combat attire, they must be strictly carried out in accordance with the requirements of combat attire. You can't say that because you are going out of the country, you don't wear guns. There is no discipline ordinance.
Such a regulation.
Of course, live ammunition cannot be carried.
After these tasks are completed, all members of the military exchange team gather in the flight briefing room. A working group composed of the military and local inspection and quarantine departments is already waiting to start inspection and quarantine of all members of the military exchange team. After completing this link, the military exchange team will be in progress.
Members of the group cannot move around at will, and must follow the process to follow the next level.
When they return to China a few days later, they will also have to do this process, especially inspection and quarantine, in order to prevent them from accidentally bringing back viruses or something from abroad.
For those who have been abroad for exchanges, this process is very familiar. Every time it is similar, it is actually no different from what ordinary people do when traveling abroad.
Except for the four pilots including Li Zhan, the rest flew to Start Air Force Base on the Y-8. This maneuvering method is also commonly used in previous exercises with friendly forces. There is a very mature contact mechanism to ensure smoothness.
According to the arrangement, Li Zhan led three J-11bs to escort the Y-8. In view of this, all J-11bs took off with full oil. In addition to carrying necessary equipment, the Y-8 is also in full oil. They can fly four in one breath
Thousand kilometers, the maximum transition radius has been reached.
After slid for more than 2,000 meters, the Y-8 pulled Li Lu until it climbed to 6,000 meters. Li Zhan led three J-11bs to take off continuously in a two-plane formation and rushed to join the Y-8 and form the formation.
The formation was flying at a height of 6,000 meters. The Mount Everest Mountains in the southwest were higher than their flight height. Looking in the air, it looked like a wall blocking it.
The pull finger issued an order to climb to 7,000 meters, and the formation climbed steadily to 7,000 meters and flew towards the last navigation platform. As we all know, the navigation platform is an important guarantee for aircraft navigation. Simply put, the ground navigation platform is like a high-speed
A complex of road signs, road signs and signs on the highway is intended to provide reference for the aircraft - let the pilot know where he is.
Generally speaking, the well-known navigation platform is the airport navigation platform, which is often called the long-distance navigation platform and the close-distance navigation platform are important auxiliary facilities for aircraft take-off and landing. They are usually deployed at both ends of the runway. The long-distance navigation platform is generally distanced.
The runway is seven or eight kilometers, while the close-range navigation platform is usually two or three kilometers.
When Li Zhan and his team landed, they often said that the sentences such as "seven kilometers are good" and "eight kilometers are good" are told that the tower pilot has confirmed his position and his position is in long-distance navigation.
Near the station - The plane flew over the long-distance navigation platform, proving that it had not yawed. The navigation platform near the airport is also an important part of the blind landing assistance system and is a support facility to assist pilots in landing without a distance of sight.
The reason why Li Zhan was extremely difficult to land on the road was because there was no auxiliary equipment on the ground that could assist him in confirming the position and altitude of the fighter plane. The flight parameters he generated when he landed were important reference data for subsequent pilots.
In addition to the navigation stations near the airport, there are also navigation stations deployed on the ground where the route passes, which ensure that the flight is in accordance with the correct course. For example, Li Zhan and Chen Fei returned from Wangwo Reef and entered the Pearl River Delta region not long ago.
The Seventh Navigation Station I passed by before was this type of facility. If Li Zhan cannot receive the data from the Seventh Navigation Station, it means that he has deviated.
In addition, there is another type of navigation station that is very important, that is, the navigation station deployed in border areas is responsible for providing navigation information for domestic and international flights, and is also a navigation station that manages domestic and foreign flights at the same time.
At this time, the Hongla navigation station, which Li Zhan and the others were about to fly over, was such a navigation platform.
It should be pointed out that the navigation stations of the troops and local areas are two independent systems, also known as military navigation stations and civil navigation stations. The former belongs to the air force organization unit, while the latter belongs to the civil aviation system.
Hongla navigation station is not Hongla navigation station, because this point is larger than the average navigation station, and it is much higher in scale. It is the scale of the station. Almost all international flights to and from West Asia, Europe, and Africa must go from this navigation station.
Flying over the sky, the station provides the last navigation within the country, and it is also a point for handing over management rights to overseas airspace intelligence areas.
Navigation stations near the airport are all deployed underground. To put it bluntly, they are underground buildings with slightly exposed roofs, which are to avoid collisions with aircraft. However, navigation stations like Hongla Navigation Station are generally built at high places.
This helps to improve the detection distance and range of the radar.
Hongla Navigation Station is the highest altitude navigation platform in the country and the highest altitude navigation platform in the world.
The reason why the pulling fingers ordered the formation to climb to 7,000 meters is this. More than 8,000 meters is the route of civil aviation flights. Generally, the troops will not occupy it, while less than 7,000 meters will not be approved for use by inbound and outbound aircraft.
The radio data sent by the two points of the Hongla navigation station was received by Li Zhan. His fighter was the intersection of the "line" sent by the two points, and then he could know his specific location very clearly and accurately.
You will know the specific location of the formation and the position relationship with the Hongla navigation station.
Why do second-generation aircraft need ground guidance? Because they do not have independent external perception capabilities. The standards for third-generation aircraft include external perception capabilities. For example, relying on airborne equipment to confirm their own position, which is very critical in combat.
Hongla Navigation Station is well-known worldwide. Since the 1960s, our officers and soldiers have built this navigation station at an altitude of 4,100 meters, and have performed many major support tasks. They are the hero's station every year.
The Spring Festival Gala, the host greeted the commanders and fighters of the troops who were standing on the border on behalf of the people of the whole country. What is placed in front is this heroic station that guards the plateau of "crossroads".
It was not Li Zhan’s turn to contact Hongla Navigation Station, but Tang Guozheng on Y-8 said hello to the comrades of Hongla Navigation Station on behalf of all the military exchange team. This is a practice that has been carried out for decades and the biggest
The leader’s special plane flew past here and asked him to greet him personally.
Just a few minutes after saying goodbye to the Hongla navigation station, the formation entered the Pasky territory, over a barren mountainous area, where you can even overlook the buildings at the Hongla Port.
The military exchange team officially started their five-day exchange itinerary.
ps: The same old saying, don’t imitate it into reality. Hongla is Hongla, if you insist on treating it as Hongqila, you will make mistakes if you see it.
