The second half of every year is the period when troop training and exercises are concentrated. In the first half of the year, basic training is done, and in the second half of the year, tactical training, collaborative exercises and even drills begin, etc.
Specific to the Second Division, they fly combat stunts during the day and engage in night flights at night, which is definitely in line with the style of the front-line fully trained troops. Even if they live in the camp, it is rare for the children to see their father. Why, it is precisely because of the high-intensity flying all year round.
Li Zhan already has a strong feeling that the average flying hours of pilots in the division this year will definitely exceed 200 hours. He has already begun to calculate how much the drawbar fee will be in a year.
No one in the Second Division regarded him as a new pilot. Unless during a certain training course, he suddenly discovered that Li Zhan was also a novice, and then he would remember that he had forgotten that this guy was a new pilot.
Slowly, leaders at both levels of the division discovered a fact that they had known for a long time. Li Zhan's flying skills were first-class, his control of the aircraft reached a first-class level, and he did many actions very well. However, many combat subjects, such as
The training of empty and ground targets is obviously much more unfamiliar, and I even have zero experience in many subjects.
Is this what a human being is?
This is why both division and regiment levels put him on the combat readiness list.
It was also the reason why he had to receive combat training with other new pilots.
The J-7 series has more than a dozen models. It is not only the fighter aircraft with the largest number of equipment in the current Air Force, but also the fighter aircraft with the most derivative and improved models and the strongest vitality in China's history. Several early models did not have night combat capabilities, nor could they
Shooting missiles is called a daytime combat type, and can only be used for air combat with cannons, which is exactly the air combat mode of the 1950s and 1960s.
With the e-type, the situation has been subversively changed. The biggest change is undoubtedly the so-called delta wing to double delta wing, which improves low-altitude, low-speed and hovering performance, although it is still relatively poor. The second is the ability to fight at night
, not only can it shoot missiles, but it also has a search radar inserted into the drogue of the nose air inlet.
All in all, there is a technological gap of about twenty years between the early model and the latest mass-equipped improved e-type. You can imagine how big the difference in performance is.
After Li Zhan looked at the summary of the past night flight training of the Second Division, he was surprised to find that the J-7 night flight training frequency of the Fourth Regiment was the highest among the three flight regiments, followed by the Su-27, and the J-7 of the Fifth Regiment.
8 has the least dispatch frequency.
This proves that the J-7's night flight performance is very reliable, even more reliable than the Su-27.
As June approaches, the ground temperature in Xi County is getting higher and higher. The heat is also unbearable at night. There is almost no wind and the stars are bright. It is a good weather for flying. After carefully inspecting a circle of fighter jets in his summer flight suit, Li Zhan was already sweating profusely.
, but he must be very cautious, even if there is someone in his maintenance team, he hopes that the deputy captain of the maintenance team will be in charge.
Whoever checks is responsible, and whoever signs is responsible.
The doctor in the aviation hospital signed his name on the pilot's inspection report, which means that the doctor confirmed that the pilot's physical condition meets the flight requirements. Similarly, the pilot signed on the mechanical inspection sheet, indicating that they recognized the work results of the crew and that the fighter aircraft was
Meet flight standards.
What are you most afraid of when flying at night?
Bird strikes, mechanical failures, lightning strikes, mid-air collisions, that is to say, the same as during the day. For pilots, the first thing to overcome is the human fear of the night and the fear of irrelevant environments. Instrument flying, command flying, blind operation, etc.
The basic skills of these pilots have been very solid in the flight academy and training base, and now is the time to put them to use.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Xueyang's two-plane formation took off, roughly showing the formation of the lead plane in front of the wingman on the right side, taking off at the same time, straight into the night sky, eliminating the need for an aerial formation. Li Zhan followed the veteran pilots to do night flying.
It was flying, so it had to take off in formation with the leader Nie Jianfeng.
The reason why a two-plane formation does not take off in a column is because if the trailing plane inhales the exhaust of the leading plane, it will cause the engine to gasp and easily cause a mid-air stop. Therefore, the aircraft formations we usually see do not follow each other in a column.
, but a sloping formation.
Taking off in formation was a piece of cake for Li Zhan.
At 8:15 p.m., Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng took off in a two-plane formation. The WP-13F engine ejected orange-red tail flames and roared off the ground. After climbing, they immediately turned left and adjusted their course to 270. In a few minutes, they were over the sea.
Li Zhan glanced at the heads-up display, which displayed a few important flight information such as airspeed, flight altitude, and heading. It was much simpler than the screen display used after the improvement of the Su-27, and was used by the J-10 that can intuitively understand the flight attitude.
The screen-to-display ratio seems even more backward.
The most commonly used one is for cannon shooting and aiming, using a head-up display, which should be called a parallel aiming weapon system to be precise.
However, compared to other models of J-7, the human-machine interaction of the E-type is much more friendly. Even at this moment, the cockpit where Li Zhan is sitting is still filled with a bunch of instruments, and it looks as messy as the Seven Kingdoms.
"Dongsanguai, let's go there." Nie Jianfeng's order came from the radio.
Li Zhan replied, "Dong Sanguai received it."
The J-7e's nose is equipped with a ranging radar. Older models simply don't have radar. Therefore, combat must be carried out with the cooperation of ground radar, otherwise it will be useless. The ranging radar must be used after the target is discovered, so as to obtain the cooperation with the ground radar.
The relative distance of the target, as for other data, can only rely on ground radar commands.
Ground search, fire control lock, sorry, we don’t have those functions.
To put it bluntly, the J-7e still has the characteristics of a typical second-generation aircraft and does not have the capability of distance combat. When using air-to-air missiles, the target must be within the effective range of the air-to-air missile, and the target can only be targeted by the missile's seeker.
Once locked, the carrier aircraft has no way to interfere with the movement of the missile through commands. With the small seeker of the air-to-air missile, the effect can be imagined.
What I was shooting was the fate bomb.
Tonight is an air confrontation training. Two J-8s take off from the Guixi Field Station to act as imaginary enemies. Two of the four regiments conduct a search and attack. The so-called attack means occupying the attack position. It does not matter whether you win or lose. It is mainly through this process.
Exercise pilots' night combat capabilities.
Similarly, Zhang Xueyang's two-plane formation also followed the same subject, but they were flying eastward. The First Division of the Fourth Regiment stationed in eastern Guangdong for training took off two J-7s to act as imaginary enemies and start a confrontation with them. This arrangement was based on the su-
The range of the 27 and the J-7 is determined by the range of the former. All the former have been domestically improved and have a longer range. They can reach the Western Pacific with just a kick of the accelerator. The short legs of the J-7 cannot keep up at all, so we can only use the J-27.
-7 Arrange a few laps in front of your home.
That's how the nickname "Airport Defender" came from.
The Ba Ye has a fire control radar, and the fifth regiment uses the best D-type among the Ba Ye in active service, which is exactly the same model equipped by a certain Hainan Airlines division. It has air intakes on both sides and uses a domestic model with better fire control performance.
The radar J-8D has actually developed its unique style after years of use by the military.
Anti-aircraft interception is probably what Mr. Ba needs to do for the rest of his life. Of course, he may also use his high-altitude and high-speed capabilities to engage in aerial reconnaissance.
No matter how much Li Zhan looked down on the J-8, he had to swallow his anger at this moment.
The tower has just informed them that two J-8s are heading straight towards them. It is obvious that they have discovered you, but you have no idea about it. The most terrible thing is that once you enter the locking range of the opponent's fire control radar, will you even
