The possibility that the new land-based phased array radar will have design flaws is extremely slim. The strength of China's military industry is obvious to all, and the strength of China's military workers is well known to the world.
In past practice, there have been very few examples of design defects in new equipment. There are two common categories. One is that the use method is not ideal, resulting in the equipment not exerting its due combat capabilities, and the other is that the equipment is found to be defective during actual use. Can continue to improve even better.
Design flaws…
In Li Hai's impression, only his master Li Zhan discovered it by chance and achieved first-class merit. However, Li Zhan discovered it during a test flight and the equipment had not yet been commissioned into the army.
Therefore, Li Hai does not expect bonuses from the manufacturer, but the temporary head coach position subsidy given by Haiba Division is what he can really get.
However, he doesn't value subsidies and focuses on flying, unlike his master, who was nicknamed the Little Prince of Tie Rods and the King of Flying Subsidies.
There are only seven days in total, and the next flight is still unknown. At least before returning from this special escort mission, there will be no chance to fly the plane.
There was no such store after passing this village. The news Liu Chengjun brought naturally made Li Hai excited.
As night falls, the war eagles engaged in day and night flight training are busy one after another. Shuilingchang Station, which has not been quiet for a long time, is busy again. The outfield is full of flashing navigation lights and anti-collision lights on the wing tips, landing gear and other positions of the war eagles.
The so-called cross-day and night training, that is, taking off at dusk to carry out combat training and returning and landing after nightfall, or taking off and training at dawn and returning and landing after dawn, is to hone the combat capabilities of the troops under the changing natural environment of day and night.
The J-10 fleet that has been flying day and night is returning one after another, and the J-11B fleet here is making pre-flight preparations. The entire outfield is as busy as Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, and there are even scenes of elephants strolling among the fleet on several occasions.
Such high-intensity flight training also exercises the high-intensity support capabilities of the ground support team.
Just preparing meals for so many pilots is enough for the cooking team.
When people want to eat, horses need to chew. To be precise, when people want to eat, fighters need to drink. To ensure that there is no chaos and to achieve the highest efficiency, it is definitely a systematic project.
Therefore, air force operations are by no means a matter for the air crew. Everything will not be fine once the fighter planes are launched. It involves a large amount of support work on the ground, and no one can fall behind.
After entering the outfield and seeing this scene, Li Hai couldn't help but sigh, "The Air Force has Nan Ba Tian. I think our Eighth Hai Division is the real Nan Ba Tian. At this level, Nan Hai will be invincible."
Liu Chengjun was quite proud. The Eighth Hai Division did a good job in operating multiple types of aircraft at the same time, and was at the forefront of the entire army.
He smiled and said modestly, "The brother departments call us the South China Sea Air Guards. We inherit the legacy of the martyrs and build on the past. Overall, there is still a gap between us and the big brother of the Air Force."
Li Hai said seriously, "Indeed, the Beiku Field Station of the Northwest Crazy Demon Brigade can release nearly fifty aircraft of five types from the three flying groups stationed at the station within thirty minutes, and their The support time between each sortie can be as fast as fifteen minutes, and there are indeed many gaps in the Eighth Hai Division."
Hearing this, Liu Chengjun's face suddenly turned dark. Fortunately, it was night and he was still in the car.
He thought to himself, "Do you know how to chat? Can you speak? If you can't speak, don't talk to me. Why are you always rubbing salt into other people's wounds? You did it on purpose!"
Liu Chengjun heard it. Li Hai was not attacking the Eighth Hai Division, but seeking truth from facts. This guy was a straightforward person and liked to tell the truth.
Of course, Li Hai believes that those who fly fighter jets should all have the same personality, and they should be straightforward and straightforward, because fighter planes in air combat are fleeting, and decisions often have to be made in seconds or even less, and you are not allowed to speak tactfully or think about your words. is it suitable.
When it comes to conveying meaning clearly, the shorter the better.
The commuter bus took Li Hai and Liu Chengjun to the flight briefing room, where the other pilots participating in the night flight training were already waiting inside, including Yu Pingping.
Tonight's training was also organized and implemented by Liu Chengjun.
Liu Chengjun arranged tonight's night flight training in accordance with the training plan, focusing on several issues that needed to be paid attention to, and the pilots left the flight briefing room in groups with their flight helmets in hand.
Li Hai, Liu Chengjun, and Yu Pingping were left in the flight briefing room.
Liu Chengjun was also straightforward. He said, "Xiao Li, you fly once according to the afternoon route. Deputy Station Director Yu and I will check the situation and make adjustments the second time. Do you have any questions?"
Li Hai agreed wholeheartedly, as difficult flying was to his liking.
"Deputy Station Chief Yu?" Liu Chengjun asked Yu Pingping.
Yu Pingping thought for a while and said, "Captain Li, after arriving at ultra-low altitude, you must ensure that the Beidou positioning system is in normal working condition. I want to know your real-time three-dimensional position."
"No problem." Of course Li Hai would not object.
Generally speaking, there will be no problems with the Beidou positioning system. Let alone the ultra-low altitude sea surface, even for a car entering a tunnel, the Beidou system can determine an approximate position based on the target's speed and other conditions, which is quite accurate.
Yu Pingping stood up and grabbed the high-power handheld radio placed on the table. This was a communication tool for him to directly contact Station No. 1. He said, "I have no problem here."
Liu Chengjun picked up his flying helmet and said, "Xiao Li, let's go."
The two walked out side by side and jumped on the commuter bus. The commuter bus sped towards the parking space. The ground crew had completed their work before takeoff and were waiting in line.
After handing over the aircraft and signing the handover form, Li Hai saluted the ground crew and climbed up the boarding ladder into the spacious cockpit of the No. 07 J-11B heavy air superiority fighter. The ground crew leader helped Li Hai connect the oxygen mask and communication line. , after confirming that all aspects were completed, he gave Li Hai a thumbs up.
"Captain Li, everything goes well."
"Thank you for your hard work!"
The ground crew leader came down and removed the boarding ladder. Li Hai closed the canopy, shook the joystick back and forth, and then drew a circle. While doing these actions, he turned his head rhythmically to look at the ground crew responsible for observation. If If there is a problem with the movable flaps, the ground crew will signal with a signal.
After preparations were completed, Li Hai called the tower, "Tower, preparations for Dongguan takeoff are complete."
The person commanding the tower tonight is He Qiang. He was originally going to conduct night flight training tonight. Many years ago, the aviation force of the entire army made it clear that the military commander, even the top leader of the army, must be the best combatant in the army. Therefore, the training intensity of the third-level military officers of the divisions, brigade and regiments of various aviation units is much more intense than that of ordinary pilots. Only in this way can they develop the comprehensive ability to both lead troops and fight.
However, Li Hai was going to teach Haiba Division techniques tonight, and He Qiang deliberately canceled his training and went to the tower to take control of everything in person.
On the other side, Liu Chengjun was also ready. He was going to fly with Li Hai. The arrangement tonight was for two fighter planes to take off at the same time.
"The tunnel is ready to be pushed out. Pay attention. You must pay attention to safety during the penetration flight. It's over." He Qiang warned after giving the instruction.
Li Hai pushed the throttle lever, and the 28-ton J-11B slid out of the parking space and taxied towards the take-off position of the runway. The No. 03 J-10AH controlled by Liu Chengjun followed closely behind. The J-10AH is a naval type, and H stands for navy, which mainly enhances the corrosion resistance of the aircraft body.
Those who know the parameters of the two fighters must know that the J-11B is larger than the J-11AH. The former is a heavy fighter, while the latter is a medium fighter. The maximum take-off weight of the former is as high as 35 tons, while the latter is close to 21 tons.
However, looking at either of the two models alone, the size difference between the two models is not very clear. Now looking at the two fighters from the air, the J-10AH at the back is two times smaller than the big-bodied J-11B, just like a scholar following Li Kui.
The intuitive feeling is surprising.
The batch of J-11B used by the Eighth Hai Division has an advantage over latecomers. It is equipped with a domestic aviation engine with greater thrust, and is equipped with a full set of domestic avionics systems. It is different from the J-11A and the early J-11B. And words.
The two planes arrived at the runway takeoff position.
He Qiang held the transmitter in his hand. When he saw Li Hai and Liu Chengjun in place, he ordered, "Turn three holes, time the takeoff."
Li Hai replied, turned to look at Liu Chengjun who was shoulder to shoulder, and pushed the accelerator lever at the same time in a tacit understanding, and stepped on the brake. After the power came up, he released the brake almost at the same time, and then pushed the accelerator lever all the way.
The two fighters started at the same time, but soon the J-10AH's acceleration performance from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers was significantly better than that of the J-11B, even though it only had one engine.
Li Hai watched helplessly as Liu Chengjun slid less than 400 meters before pulling up the nose of the plane and taking off. You know, Liu Chengjun carried three auxiliary fuel tanks, and the take-off weight was not small!
As for him, he slid for more than five hundred meters before he could pull up the nose of the plane.
It’s the J-10 after all!
No wonder a large number of people once believed that the J-10 was the most suitable aircraft to be put on a ship. With increased weight, the J-10's aerodynamic layout completely beat the J-11.
However, the J-10AH also has obvious shortcomings-the combat radius is far less than that of the J-11B.
Li Hai does not have an auxiliary fuel tank at all, and the J-11B does not have a matching auxiliary fuel tank. It can fly four thousand kilometers with only 9 tons of fuel in the aircraft. After Liu Chengjun brought three auxiliary fuel tanks, he could barely keep up with Li Hai's endurance.
It wouldn't work without Liu Chengjun, otherwise he would have to return to the field to refuel in the middle of the training, which would waste too much time.
The J-11 series is well-deserved for its long legs in the air.
Li Hai flew to the mission airspace according to the prescribed route. He had to adapt to night flying first. After all, he had not been in contact with the aircraft for almost three months. Liu Chengjun quickly came over and formed a two-plane formation with him. On the one hand, he observed the appearance of No. 07 J-11B and reported problems in a timely manner. On the other hand, he took close-up shots of the maneuvers of No. 07 J-11B.
After regaining his feeling, Li Hai climbed to a medium-high altitude and began to fly at full throttle. Soon, the people on the ground heard a rumbling sound from the sky. It was the sound produced by fighter planes flying at supersonic speed at high altitude. But when they looked up, they could not see anything because the fighter planes were above the clouds.
