Curiosity remains curiosity, confidentiality regulations are strictly followed.
Tens of seconds later, the two J-10Ds that temporarily changed their flight training missions pierced the sky like sharp swords, flew through the thin clouds and mist at mid- and low-altitudes, climbed back to the eternally blue altitude of 10,000 meters, and returned to the embrace of the endless blazing sunshine. .
The altitude is 12,000 meters, the speed is Mach 8, the route is northwest, and the destination is the wine city trial training base 900 kilometers away.
After flying smoothly along the scheduled route for five minutes, Zhou Hai and Su Peng saw the escort target with a calm posture - the Y-20 strategic transport aircraft known as the codename "Kunpeng".
It has a black and gray fuselage, a conventional aerodynamic layout, a cantilevered upper monoplane with a wingspan of 45 meters that incorporates mainstream supercritical airfoil technology, and an ordinary, stable and reliable T-shaped tail.
This is the latest new member of the Air Force's combat sequence to enter service. It has a maximum take-off weight of up to 220 tons. It embodies various cutting-edge aviation technologies and is a masterpiece of AVIC Xifei.
"boom!"
The louder and surging sound of aviation engines resounded throughout the world, and the four engines rolled up turbulent vortexes. The Y-20 strategic transport aircraft, with a gentle and steady attitude, climbed to an altitude of 12,000 meters before leveling off and flying out.
"really big……"
Zhou Hai quietly stared at the huge beast in the airspace in front of him. A trace of memory appeared in the depths of his eyes. He remembered the scene of taking a plane after the Hainan Province skydiving assessment. He moved the joystick slightly forward, adjusted the state of the fuselage, and gradually relaxed Slow down.
When he first came into contact with the Yun-20, he was just a flight student from the Air Force University who had never even experienced simulated flight.
"Call Wild Boar One. This is Haiyan Squadron. Two of our planes are ordered to escort you throughout the journey."
Su Peng, who served as the lead aircraft, had a serious face, adjusted the radio channel, and based on the information obtained, sent a message to the Yun-20'Kunpeng' crew to start a simple rendezvous and handover ceremony.
"Yeboar No. 1 received. Thank you very much, Haiyan Squadron." came the voice of the Y-20'Kunpeng' crew commander.
After a simple handover, the No. 008 J-10d changed its posture and swept to the right. Su Peng gave a prompt to Zhou Hai and issued an order: "Zero, I am on the right and you are on the left. Pay attention to the impact of high-altitude turbulence and upgrade to the second level combat readiness state. , in case of sudden danger, you can fire freely."
"clear."
Zhou Hai nodded in understanding, with a serious face, increased vigilance, stepped on the rudder to the left, and controlled the war eagle under him to fly to the left side of the Yun-20 Kunpeng.
Having suffered from high-altitude turbulence, Zhou Hai did not think that anyone would choose to attack two high-performance fighters in the sky in the southwest as for possible sudden dangers.
This is both provocation and courting death, and at the same time it only exists in the imagination.
It was noon and the weather was hot.
The two J-10Ds, one on the left and one on the right, adjusted their escort lineup and flew steadily, clustering around the slightly bulky and slow Y-20 Kunpeng. Three sky eagles with different functions flew along the planned route at Mach 7. At the standard formation cruising speed, they flew straight to the Liquor City trial training base located in the deep northwest.
Leaving the endless steep peaks in northwest Sichuan Province, we fly over the end of the Kunlun Mountains, which are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, pass through the picturesque grasslands, and then cross the Qilian Mountains with an average altitude of 4,000 meters.
About an hour later, after a smooth flight of 900 kilometers, Zhou Hai and Su Peng, who maintained a high degree of vigilance, escorted the Y-20 'Kunpeng' transporting high-security items to its destination in Gansu Province - Huaxia. District 51.
The journey was safe, without any surprises, and there were no possible dangers or attacks.
The entire flight mission was like the most ordinary flight cruise.
The barren and barren yellow-brown Gobi Desert, the fast wind carrying fine sand and dust, and the endless desert that is considered a forbidden area for life, all the unique scenery of the northwest comes into view.
Twenty kilometers away, the heavily guarded Liquor City trial training base was clearly visible, with two 3,500-meter-long main takeoff runways, and the apron area was filled with large and medium-sized aircraft neatly parked. There are also six J-20 'Vyron' parked in a separate apron area.
"This is the well-known Liquor City trial training base. How about it?" Su Peng asked Zhou Hai.
Zhou Hai looked at the trial training base on the ground below, observed silently, and nodded gently: "It's not bad."
Looking around, there are three Y-20 Kunpengs, six J-20 Weilongs, four J-16s, four J-10cs, two H-6k Ares parked on the ground, and various model of fighter jet.
In addition to the complex and diverse equipment and models, the scale of the base is worthy of being the largest in Asia. Even the Rongcheng base, which ranks second among the air force bases in the country, is not as large as the Jiucheng trial training base, which ranks fifth overall.
Of course, Zhou Hai felt that the ground staff at the Jiucheng base should be scolded, especially the ground staff squadron in charge of ammunition.
"Haiyan Squadron, this is Wild Wolf One. Our aircraft has arrived at its destination and is about to land. Thank you very much for your escort throughout the entire journey. I give you five stars."
At this time, the voice of the Y-20'Kunpeng's crew commander came from the radio channel, and he did not hesitate to praise and express his gratitude.
"Haiyan Squadron received it. Thank you for your five-star review. Goodbye, Wild Wolf One." After completing the mission, Su Peng's words were relaxed and gentle, without his previous serious and solemn attitude, and he pulled the lever to turn around and prepare to return.
Five-star review?
The corner of Zhou Hai's mouth twitched, and he refrained from speaking. He felt like delivering a courier involuntarily.
The top golden helmeted air combat elites and 'rookie' pilots serve as couriers, with pick-up and delivery guaranteed, and full escort to eliminate all dangers?
"Goodbye, Squadron Petrel."
With the last words of farewell, the huge Y-20 'Kunpeng' was qualified to enter the venue and entered the core no-fly zone of the Liquor City trial training base. The pressure head lowered its altitude, carrying a majestic momentum like a majestic mountain range, and faced the building in The straight main runway in the Gobi Desert.
The Yelang-1 Y-20 landed smoothly, standard and natural, then drove steadily to the parking bay and opened the closed metal cargo door at the tail of the aircraft.
The crew that carried out this top-secret strategic transport mission was composed of the best members of the Air Force's transport aircraft force.
"Buzz!"
The hatch slowly opened. A vigorous man in his sixties wearing light blue work clothes, accompanied by several staff members, stepped into the spacious and advanced cargo hold and opened the covered shipping box. green masking net.
Directly ahead, the white and eye-catching words "Top Secret" came into view.
Inside the packaging box, there is a newly developed cutting-edge weapon system.
…
After the Yun-20 Kunpeng landed at the Jiucheng trial training base, the entire escort mission ended.
Because this unexpected mission disrupted the original arrangements, the Pengcheng base had to cancel the ultra-low-altitude flight training in the mountainous area and ordered Zhou Hai and Su Peng to return directly.
