After pondering for a moment, Li Zhan said, "The J-16 uses a lot of fourth-generation aircraft technology, especially in the avionics area. In the avionics system, the battlefield situational awareness system is particularly prominent."
He smiled and said, "If nothing else, take the airborne radar as an example. Apart from the one used on fourth-generation aircraft, the one with the most advanced performance and the best use is the one used by the J-16."
Xue Xiangnan strongly agrees, "The J-16 entered service a few years later than the fourth-generation aircraft. I didn't understand it at the time, but now it seems that the main reason is here."
Li Zhan stopped talking about this topic, and he would have to copy the confidentiality rules if he did.
"Chief, what will we do with the eliminated Su Sanling? Which army will it be handed over to?" Xue Xiangnan asked.
This thing is very strange. Generally speaking, a few months before the replacement of new fighter jets, it will be decided whether the obsolete equipment will be transferred to other units or scrapped and recycled. If it is handed over to other troops, the headquarters will have to help the brother troops carry out modification training. If it is scrapped and refurbished, there is nothing to say, just dismantle it and take it away.
The Seahawks have changed their equipment this time, but they still don’t know what to do with the original Su-30MKK that has been eliminated.
Li Zhan said, "The other thing I came here this time was to deal with this batch of Su 30s that can still be used for three to five years. We are not a rich second-generation family. We will use it if we can. Besides, your maintenance is very good." Very good, the car is in good condition."
Smiling, he said, "I plan to transfer them all to the 8th Hai Division. However, the 8th Hai Division does not have experience in using Sukhoi fighters. We need to transfer a group of people from you to serve as instructors for a few months. Commander Ma, this requires Your great support.”
Commander Ma immediately expressed his position, "No problem! Our department will give full support. Commander Xue, this task will be left to your regiment. We must mobilize elite soldiers and generals to help our brother troops complete the modification work as soon as possible."
"The Eighth Hai Division has some J-11s, so it's not difficult to modify them as Su San0s." The political commissar said with a smile.
Although the Eighth Hai Division uses the completely domestically produced J-11B, after all, the span of modifying the Su-30MKK will indeed be much shorter if the same source is eradicated.
Xue Xiangnan suddenly thought of something and said, "Chief, the Eighth Hai Division has stationed a squadron at Forgettable Reef. That location is very suitable for Su Sanling."
"Haha, this is a matter of human nature." Li Zhan said it perfectly.
Xue Xiangnan is Li Hai's old superior, and now that Li Hai is posted at Forgotten Reef, Li Zhan certainly knows what he is thinking. However, even Li Hai's master, Li Zhan, would not express his position on this matter. Isn't it a joke to arrange a fighter plane for a small soldier?
After smiling, Xue Xiangnan stopped mentioning this matter. He also considered that Li Zhan was Li Hai's master, and it was said that Li Zhan was very protective, so he mentioned this. Now it seems that he was hasty.
After spending a whole day with the Sea Eagles, Li Zhan flew away again. The corporate jet of the Air Force has almost become his special plane. It takes off every now and then. In a year, more than half of the more than 200,000 kilometers flown are covered by his schedule.
Opportunity is approaching Lehi. The J-11B of the Eighth Hai Division is a treasure that Li Hai has no chance to come into contact with. Besides, it is from another regiment. The Su-30MKK transferred over will definitely be handed over to Li Hai's regiment, but it is unknown whether the four J-8Fs on Forgetting Reef will be replaced.
As Li Zhan said, that is the South Ship's business.
A month later, Xue Zhengrong received an order from his superiors. The two pilots who had previously been transferred back to participate in the confrontation drill remained at the base. The vacancies in the Forgotten Reef Squadron were filled by Zhan Yunfei and Zhao Feiyan.
"Okay, people are being detained. You should hurry up and bring them out." Xue Zhengrong handed the order to Li Hai.
Li Hai suddenly felt a toothache, "I'm afraid I won't be able to take him out within three to five months."
"What are you thinking about? I only have forty days at most." Xue Zhengrong shook his head and said, "It is now October. From the end of the month to New Year's Day, a large number of drills and exercises are carried out, and our tasks are very heavy. In addition to daily air patrols In addition to being on guard, we also have to shoulder heavy tasks such as air guidance and station support. The three of us can’t do enough even if we don’t eat or sleep.”
With a wry smile, Li Hai said, "Xue Da, I have only joined the army not long ago. I am not shirking, but I have no confidence. I have no teaching ability."
"Look, you have no confidence again. They are both veteran pilots after all. From helicopters to fighter jets, I don't think it is that difficult, right? Besides, I will teach you together. You will lead one and I will lead the other. Let's rest. I don’t believe that I can’t bring him out if he concentrates on fifteen flying days of introductory training without stopping the plane.” Xue Zhengrong said with confidence.
Li Hai pondered.
After a while, he said, "I personally have no problem. In fact, I think Zhao Yunfei and Zhao Feiyan have a very good foundation, otherwise they would not join the Flying Shark training as a helicopter pilot. The main reason is that I have never led troops. I don’t know where to start for a while. Since Xue Da, you let me do it, no matter what, I will do my best.”
"This is a decent attitude. During this time, I have become familiar with the work on the tower. You will shoulder the burden while I am away. I feel relieved about the daily patrol and warning. You should communicate with the staff sergeants more about flight guidance and station security." , they are very experienced." Xue Zhengrong said.
Li Hai nodded slightly, then suddenly realized and raised his head, "Xue Da, you, do you want to visit relatives?"
"My mother is on the island and I am visiting relatives." Xue Zhengrong said with a smile, "Didn't you have abdominal pain some time ago? I have a growth. I will go to the hospital in the rear to have it removed tomorrow. I will probably have to rest for a while."
Li Hai was stunned and looked at Xue Zhengrong blankly.
That's a tumor, and you said it as easily as if you had a little cold!
"Don't make a fuss, it's not a big deal. I'll be back in ten days and a half." Xue Zhengrong waved his hand, "Anyway, I'll leave the airport matters to you during my absence. Communicate more with Chief Zhong Jiao, he knows everything about the airport. Management also understands.”
Xue Zhengrong opened the drawer and took out a document, "Here is a request for assistance from the escort detachment. They have a formation that wants to come here for training and asks us to provide air cover. Take a look."
Li Hai temporarily turned his attention and read the document carefully, "The 18th is the day after tomorrow. Time is so tight."
"Get used to it. We rarely receive tasks that require sufficient preparation time on Forgotten Reef." Xue Zhengrong said.
"Yes, Xue Da, please feel free to treat your illness." Li Hai straightened his back.
The escort formation has to conduct training in the surrounding waters, and it is difficult for them to obtain air cover from the shore-based airport. Even the long-legged J-11 and JH-7A are close to the maximum combat radius after flying a thousand kilometers, and their staying time in the mission airspace is very limited.
The fighter jets taking off from Forgotten Reef, even short-legged J-7s, can stay in the air for at least an hour. When the two are compared, the advantages and disadvantages come out.
As the troops conduct more and more offshore training, the support pressure on the Forgotten Reef is increasing day by day. Xue Zhengrong is therefore anxious, so he asks Li Hai to bring Zhan Yunfei and Zhao Feiyan out as soon as possible. There are now four fighters. J-8F No. 81103 is still under maintenance, but J-7EGGH No. 037 has completed the modification and transferred to the Forgotten Reef Airport.
But there are only three pilots. After Xue Zhengrong was hospitalized for treatment, only Li Hai and Dang Weimin were able to fly.
The spectacle of no planes flying can only appear on the special Forgotten Reef during special periods.
