Dragoon fighter

Lin Mo nodded with a smile and looked at Nolav, "How about it, it's your turn! Are you ready?"

Swallowing hard, Nolav twitched the corners of his mouth, nodded and said, "I'm ready!" His tone was exactly the same as when he was attending the Dharma ceremony.

"Lieutenant Lin Mo, don't give them too much difficulty. After all, they are not [Chinese] pilots." Major Huang De, the leader of the instructor team, said to Lin Mo. He could see that those maneuvers just now were not for some elite domestic pilots. It’s not too difficult, but considering these pilots from the Republic of Zambia who have only flown J-6 and MiG-21, it is a bit harsh.

"Haha! I understand, I already have a rough idea." Lin Mo responded. He already had a rough understanding of the abilities and physical fitness of these Zambian Air Force pilots, but there was still a certain gap between them and the expected estimates.

I don't know if Lin Mo is lucky or if it is fate. The country he is in is relatively powerful in the world, and his starting point is relatively high. Moreover, he has not participated in a real air battle. He thought that the pilots of other countries are about the same level as him. , but I didn’t expect that there was such a big gap between reality and imagination.

It seems that these countries have bought the export version of the J-10, the fc-20, which is more for show than for actual combat. If there is a fight, even a Zambian pilot with an F-35 may not be able to defeat someone flying a J-10. 〖Chinese〗 For Chinese pilots, it is still people who determine victory or defeat.

Lin Mo, who already had a sense of proportion in his mind, took Nolav onto the K-8 trainer aircraft again. This time, Lin Mo reported several maneuvers adapted to the J-10 for Norov to use. The performance was still unsatisfactory. It seemed that these Zambian pilots are very crude and simple in their controls, and cannot handle complex flying movements. They are unable to adapt to delicate and changeable maneuvers. This has a long way to go for the J-10, which has superior flexibility and is suitable for low-range maneuver combat. distance.

"Okay, let's start from the basics. In the past month, we have mainly focused on theory!" Lin Mo planned to help Lieutenant Grafido and Lieutenant Nolav lay a solid foundation. This was what he and several other air force instructors were doing in class. set the tone for the discussion afterwards.

Understanding the structure of the fc-20 is obviously very beneficial to learning the new features of the new model. Major Huang De and others quickly followed Lin Mo's method, but they did not teach themselves, and they did not dare to let these pilots learn to assemble the aircraft. They asked two [Chinese] aircraft engineers to give live lectures to the students and at the same time copy some of Lin Mo's tips. These skills were valuable experiences that were not even recorded in books.

In order to facilitate theoretical teaching, a team of four Chinese instructors took turns giving lessons to all Zambian pilots in the morning, explaining the most basic flying maneuvers, focusing on the differences between the FC-20 and the J-6 and MiG-21, as well as operational taboos, and guiding them. Starting from the most basic learning operations, at the same time, in the afternoon, physical training and reaction training will be strengthened to develop operating habits adapted to the fc-20 model.

Without a simulator, the teaching speed is not as fast as in China. Sometimes, we can only explain the differences with the FC-20 based on the operating consoles of the MiG-21 and K-8.

After more than two weeks, the first fc-20 was assembled and passed the test run. This was a timely gift to Lin Mo and others who were lacking teaching methods. However, Zambia’s military expenditure for one year It’s only a little over 100 million U.S. dollars. I bought four fc-20s in one go. I have already tightened my belt and saved up money for several years. Is there any money left to buy a J-10 two-seater trainer? These four fc- 20 are all single-seat aircraft. If they go to the sky, they will need to assemble another one, and the risk factor is still relatively high.

We can only adapt to local conditions and use the fc-20 cockpit to set up a wooden platform outside the cockpit. The students can stand outside the cabin and watch the pilot in the cockpit operate.

Each instructor takes his students to conduct simulated operations, allowing Zambian pilots to practice various operations in a non-power-on state. The instructor on the side is responsible for reminding and correcting misoperations. Only instructors with extensive experience in driving the J-10 can Able to do this kind of blind flying teaching.

In order to provide a more concise and easy-to-remember teaching, Lin Mo and three other instructors worked together to build a simple one-to-one physical simulated cockpit out of wood. Lin Mo’s superb carpentry skills stunned everyone. He is a cosplay expert and is sensational. 〖Centre〗 The maker of the model of the "Monster" fighter jet of the Central Military Commission, the simulated cockpit is very lifelike. It is even equipped with several universal bearings and uses two large steel rings to create a model that can simulate and flip freely. The cockpit has a simple mining rail underneath that can achieve some overload acceleration. Lin Mo's skills really shocked the Zambian soldiers.

In fact, Lin Mo's modeling skills are not as good as the gold dragon pretending to be a watch on his wrist.

Those who have flying experience are much better than civilians who know nothing about it. The eight pilots recommended by the Lusaka Air Force Base in Zambia are obviously better at learning than ordinary pilots. When the second fc-20 is assembled, Two-plane formation flying is already possible.

The most basic and most important learning of takeoff and landing operations of a fighter jet is put first. Only in this way can these new students master the operation of the fc-20 as soon as possible without a two-seat trainer aircraft.

Limited by their physical fitness, Lin Mo and Major Huang De could only tell them how to operate some difficult maneuvers, but they could not actually use them. Otherwise, they would be like Gradov, crawling on the lawn with weak hands and feet and vomiting. Very vomiting.

A dark green armed helicopter flew slowly from a distance and landed in front of Hangar 3 of the Lusaka Air Force Base with a roar.

"What's going on?" Lin Mo saw that many people seemed to have received some orders. They kept sending messages to each other and rushed to the location where the armed helicopter landed. It seemed that some big shot was coming.

"Oh, it's Major Kaura, the son of Air Force Commander Marshal Xingao, who came to the base for inspection today!" Grafido looked at it. The pilot's excellent eyesight clearly saw a young officer who was getting off the plane under the protection of the base guards. There were several followers, and he smiled apologetically at Lin Mo: "Sorry, Lin, we have to go and greet him!"

"Major Kaura is a man with a bad temper, Lin!" Nolav winked at Lin Mo and whispered.

Lin Mo was stunned when he heard someone shouting not far away: "Lieutenant Lin Mo, **, Major Kaura, the son of the commander of the Zambian Air Force, is here. Let's meet him together."

Major Huang De waved to Lin Mo not far away. He was also greeting others. The Commander of the Zambian Air Force was the immediate superior of this base. As guests, they should also say hello to his son.

Four air force instructors gathered together, and all Zambian pilots and guards and other departments in the base lined up for review under the leadership of their respective commanders.

Led by Major Huang De, leader of the instructor team, a team of four Chinese instructors and two engineers stood together at the end of the team at Lusaka Air Force Base.

Lin Mo saw a very young dark-skinned young man, tall and strong, with strong steps. He was wearing a military green short-sleeved summer dress and black toad glasses. He was holding a short riding crop in his hand and was looking at several people with guns and ammunition. Surrounded by soldiers and bodyguards wearing shirts, trousers and ties, they were walking over step by step.

Lieutenant General Mora, the top official of the Lusaka base, accompanied Major Kaura and introduced him to the new faces in the base. When he walked to the Chinese personnel, his voice became louder and he introduced: "This is [中] Major Huang De from China is the leader of the instructor team that trains fc-20 pilots for us. This is Major Han Renguang, who has 2,000 hours of flight experience. This is Captain Zou Han, who has flight experience in more than three types of fighter jets. The person behind him is Lieutenant Lin Mo, codenamed Gold Coin, is the youngest ace."

One of the conditions for the joint purchase of J-10s by several small African countries this time is that the pilot code-named "Golden Coin" is required to serve as a training instructor. For Zambians, the shooting record of two fighter jets is enough to be called a trump card, especially for training. The outstanding flying skills displayed in the aircraft make it difficult to believe that this is just a young pilot with less than 500 flight hours. He seems to be no less inferior to veteran pilots such as Major Han and Major Huang.

"'Gold coins'?" Major Kaura showed his white teeth and looked at Lin Mo with interest. "I heard that you are the most powerful pilot in China?!"

the best? !Are you complimenting me or scolding me? Lin Mo couldn't help but frowned in his heart. He shook his head and said: "Me? No, I'm just an ordinary pilot. I've only been in the army for a year. No, China has more pilots who are better than me."

Lin Mo's words were not mixed at all. It turned out that Captain Jiang and other veteran pilots of the 7759th Brigade were much better than him. Even the gold dragon gold coins on their wrists were beaten down from the sky by them. Until now, Lin Mo had no confidence that he could knock gold coins out of the sky with the J-10.

Lin Mo's truth sounded excessively modest to Major Kaura's ears. He smiled and said, "I am also a pilot. How about we compete? How about [Flash God Slaughter Team] come to a Zambia vs. [China] air force friendly match? How about it?"

The expressions of the others changed. Kaura was obviously provoking the Chinese people. How can this be done? No matter who loses or wins, it will have a bad impact. Zambia lost face when it won the Chinese people. China will not provide such kind assistance next time. If China wins, Zambia will not be able to raise its head in front of other African countries. It is obviously more gain than loss.

"Kaura, don't mess around!" Lieutenant General Mora's face changed, and he said in a voice that only he and Kaura could hear. ! .
