Great Power Fighting Falcon

It took the maintenance staff half a day to complete the preparations for No. 81198 JH-7 to participate in the performance. The main task was to install a high-definition camera that can capture any angle and multi-angle viewing angles in the cockpit. Of course, the pilot's first-person perspective is indispensable. .

A portion of the captured material will be selected for public reporting and publicity, and most of it will be accumulated as teaching materials. Li Zhan must be responsible for this matter because his superiors believe that all his shots can be used as teaching models.

In addition to the comprehensive tactical pod under the belly of the aircraft, two auxiliary fuel tanks are hung on the inner heavy pylons on both wings, and the two outermost pylons on the two wings are respectively hung on Thunderstone laser-guided bombs and aviation rocket launch nests. Coupled with the full internal fuel, Lao Feibao is almost fully loaded.

Li Zhan did not have air-to-air weapons, but according to the requirements of the alert patrol, the maintenance staff filled the 200-round magazine of the 23mm caliber aircraft cannon. When on duty and preparing for duty, even if you do not bring air-to-air missiles, you must bring a machine gun. The machine gun is the last resort, and it is also the weapon most likely to be used in daily patrols. When expelling the external aircraft, the target did not listen to the advice and fired machine guns on it. This was a final warning.

Hainan Airlines uses the Flying Leopard as a pure sea attack aircraft. The purpose of purchasing it that year was to replace the Q-5. The latter was good at frontline support, but had to travel thousands of miles to break through the defense of the US aircraft carrier battle group. Circle expansion attacks are impossible.

Of course, Feibao was reluctant, so no matter how much time it took, he still had to get the J-16 out.

(The J-16 was not put into service until the fourth-generation aircraft had become combat-ready. When I saw the text news, I thought it was another fourth-generation aircraft. But when I looked at the pictures, I saw that it was heartless! The two-seater Su Liangqi! )

At 3 o'clock in the morning on the 24th, Li Zhan and others were making final preparations in the flight briefing room. Each had their own tasks and were familiar with the tasks. Then they whispered to each other to communicate related links, or repeatedly confirmed time points. The red telephone rang from time to time, and orders came out one after another from the exercise headquarters. Most of them were battle situation reports, which meant reporting the enemy's background to each combat unit according to time points.

Li Zhan inspected Niu Jun's clothing. There are no female pilots in the Flying Shark Force. The flight suit Niu Jun wore was given to Li Zhan by Lu Xiaoran. Of course, Li Zhan didn't want it. The problem was that Lu Xiaoran sent it directly, so he didn't want it. Just in time, he took it out and put it on Niu Jun.

"Hey, it fits well." Li Zhan helped Niu Jun put on the flying equipment and nodded.

Niu Jun made a chest enlargement move and said, "It's just a little tight here. Whose clothes are these? I have height but not a big bust."

Li Zhan said casually, "It was a gift from a student."

"A gift from a student? Why did he give you a female flight suit?" Niu Jun asked strangely.

Li Zhan said, "Female students, I took a female flight class with me some time ago. This was given to me by the representative of the squad leader as a souvenir. You see that the armband on the left arm is not embroidered. Eighteen female students have it." It’s embroidered with stitches and threads. There’s also a chest patch, which is also embroidered.”

"Female student!" Niu Jun looked at Li Zhan in surprise, and suddenly realized that Li Zhan was like a normal person. Only then did he realize that his thoughts were not pure.

Senior brother's style is clearly treating the female pilot as a brother. Alas, it's not interesting. Senior brother is so pitiful.

After Li Zhan checked Niu Jun's clothes again, he pointed at the two cameras that were ready. They looked very expensive. They had a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens. They saved the time of changing lenses and could just pick them up and take a picture. He said, "When I tell you to sit still, you have to fix the camera because you may have to perform three or four G overload maneuvers. Safety is the first priority."

"I understand, senior brother, don't worry." Niu Jun puffed up his chest with confidence.

Li Zhan nodded with satisfaction.

Dai Wenming asked everyone to sit down and said, "Gather!"

Everyone took their seats quickly, even Niu Jun was no exception, and his movements were crisp and clean. Technical officers are also officers, and officers are first and foremost soldiers. Basic military qualities must be passed. As long as you are a soldier, five-kilometer cross-country, live-fire shooting, and grenade throwing are compulsory basic combat subjects.

Dai Wenming nodded to everyone and said, "Everyone, this is the last meeting before the war. We mainly emphasize two points. The first thing we want to talk about is the issue of time. We must arrive at the designated airspace to complete the shooting within the prescribed time, and withdraw according to the prescribed time. Designated airspace.”

"To carry out anti-ship assault operations against large ship targets at sea, the exercise headquarters only gave us three minutes of shooting time. From launching the anti-ship missile to leaving the threatening airspace, we only have three minutes. Because after three minutes the maritime task force will To launch anti-aircraft missiles, we run the risk of friendly fire."

The time is not set arbitrarily. The reason why the exercise headquarters set the strike time of the air strike team so rigidly is because based on consistent experience, the air defense response time of a large surface ship is three minutes, and the longest will not exceed five minutes.

"The second point is the issue of alert patrol. After completing the live-fire firing, we must switch to alert patrol in the exercise sea area to ensure the smooth progress of the follow-up exercise. In accordance with international practice, ships and aircraft that intrude into the no-navigation zone will be expelled, especially in the bomb impact area. Take a good look."

Dai Wenming ended here, looked at Li Zhan, and asked, "Mr. Li."

Li Zhan stood up but did not walk up. He turned around and said to everyone, "I would like to add, safety first, don't act recklessly."

The most unsafe Li Zhan has often talked about "safety first" since returning from military exchanges abroad. Of course, everyone knows that the "security" in his eyes is not the same as the "security" understood by others. .

In comparison, Li Zhan's task in this exercise was the most complicated but also the easiest. He did not need to use a supercomputer-like brain to calculate the various route points for the penetration strike, nor did he need to worry about making a complete slander.

He just needs to take it and run.

Of course, in order to capture precious shots, he also needed to follow the air strike team in ultra-low-altitude sea-skimming flights.

Li Zhan picked up the satellite phone and put it in his right breast pocket and fixed it. Then he put a card camera in his left breast pocket and fixed it. Then, he put on the pair that were already a little yellow and a lot thinner. white labor protection gloves.

"What kind of gloves are these?" Niu Jun stared curiously at Li Zhan's white labor protection gloves.

Li Zhan replied, "Classic flying gloves."

"They are obviously labor protection gloves." Niu Jun put down his new leather gloves, pulled off Li Zhan's white labor protection gloves, and asked, "They feel very comfortable, are there any more?"

Li Zhan said, "I've been wearing these white ones for four years and they're patinated. Of course they're comfortable. I still have a pair of patinated ones in the dormitory, but I have new ones in my wardrobe."

"Bring it to me and let me wear it. This one looks pretty good. It's white and eye-catching." Niu Jun said excitedly like a little girl getting a new toy.

Li Zhan went to get a new pair and gave them to Niu Jun. Niu Jun said, "You can wear the new ones. Let me wear this patty one."

"No." Li Zhan refused seriously, "I won't be able to pull the lever without someone taking advantage of me. Feel is very important."

Niu Jun threw down the white patinated labor protection gloves, picked up the new white labor protection gloves, and curled his lips, "Stingy guy."

Li Zhan laughed it off.

The question is, how many times do you need to pull the joystick to thin the white labor protection gloves and remove the patina and turn them into a natural old yellow color?

Dai Wenming and others did not have such white labor protection gloves, and neither did Chengda, who had been flying the longest. It's not that they don't use protective gloves, but because their flying intensity is far from enough. Li Zhan's flying hours in three years were equivalent to their flying hours in ten years, or even exceeded.

Most of the troops still use white labor protection gloves. All the second-generation aircraft troops use them. The Flying Leopard troops and some third-generation aircraft troops also use them in small quantities. This is because our military does not yet have standard universal flying gloves, and there is no conclusion yet as to whether they will be universal to all three services or whether they will be developed according to military branches.

With large weapons and equipment catching up, military workers have no more energy to pay attention to small items. Judging from the development of the military industry in the past period, it can basically be summarized as comprehensive development, focusing on certain areas, and excellence in each field.

"Why do you bring a satellite phone?" Niu Jun asked.

Li Zhan said, "Be prepared. If you encounter a coast guard ship, it is more reliable to contact them using a satellite phone than using an international channel."

Niu Jun gave a thumbs up, "I have an idea, senior brother is great."

"Can you say something new?" Li Zhan was numb and smiled casually.

Niu Jun smiled so brightly that he showed his white teeth, "Senior brother is so handsome."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

"Who are you talking nonsense about?" Niu Jun suddenly came closer and asked viciously with a smile in his voice.

Li Zhan pretended not to hear, looked at the time, and shouted, "Let's go!"

Everyone rushed out carrying their flight helmets and small flight carrying bags, and Li Zhan also rushed out with their flying helmets and small flying carrying bags. Niu Jun quickly picked up a small flight bag containing two cameras and related accessories and ran out. After running a few steps, he found that his head was empty and felt a little bald. When he looked back, he realized, oh, he had forgotten to wear his head. He quickly turned around, picked up his flight helmet, and rushed out again.

The night is black.

There are no clouds in the sky, standard air pressure, wind force of 5 meters, wind direction of 160 degrees, and temperature of 7 degrees Celsius.

It's pitch black outside. If you're facing the rear of the fighter plane, you might be able to see the light from the nozzle of the engine that's already in driving mode. The military airport without runway lights was dark and sloppy, and the sound of the aircraft engine idling was low and powerful.

Li Zhan quickly boarded the plane, connected the headset and oxygen supply system, and immediately made preparations for takeoff with the mechanics to check the status of various systems. Wearing starched white labor protection gloves and touching the mottled instrument panel, every switch tells the story of the glorious history, which makes people full of emotions.

Sure enough, the starched white labor protection gloves match the old Feibao’s temperament best!

At this moment, Li Zhan felt as if he had been constipated for several days and finally expelled it all. He was holding the 81198 JH-7 joystick that was also coated with starch and had a large margin. , actually gave birth to strong confidence in shooting down the F-22A!

Feibao is still old!
