In the midsummer season, the sun is like fire. At an airport in North China, at the end of the runway, the steel eagle that was standing up reflected a dazzling light under the scorching sun, showing its mighty power.
When the needle pointed to 14:00 in the afternoon, the commander of the tower at gave an order, the fighter plane stepped on the accelerator, took off like a thunder, and went straight to the exercise airspace. The prelude to the "four-on-four" confrontation in a certain regiment of a flight training base of the Air Force officially kicked off.
About 30 minutes later, the author saw on the computer screen of the tower that in the training airspace circled by red and blue lines, a "back-to-back" guided, "face-to-face" fight was taking place in the "ultimate" contest at an altitude of 10,000 meters. During the day, the steel eagle fluttered its wings and competed in the sky. "Find the target!" Pilot Zhang Wei searched through the radar and found the "enemy plane" first. With the cover of thin clouds, he drove the fighter plane to approach the opponent quietly. In the air, half-rolling, rolling, ascending and circling... After a series of smooth operations, he drove the fighter to the rear without knowing it, biting the opponent.
In the confrontational air battle, the pilots launched an autonomous confrontation throughout the whole process from search and tracking to close-range combat. Pilot Zhao Yu is a seasoned air combat expert. Facing Zhang Wei's continuous attacks, he avoided the missile attack while descending. However, just when everyone thought that the situation was timed, he used a cloud cover to continuously launch missiles to "hit" the opponent.
"Since this year, we have firmly established a clear combat orientation, with the goal of 'winning' and the direction of 'being able to fight'. Every training is close to actual combat." At the training site, the flight leader of the regiment introduced to the author.
The first batch of confrontation training was successfully completed. The maintenance personnel quickly carried out a comprehensive inspection of the aircraft, prepared for another dispatch, refueling, inflating, and electrifying inspection...
At night, the light is like a blade forging to win the iron wing. It is the "bottom line of victory" on the battlefield. As night fell, the two fighter jets jumped over the low clouds and flew towards the combat airspace at full speed. According to the commander's report, two "enemy" planes were lurking in the depths of the night, waiting for an opportunity to attack. In the dark night, an aerial combat confrontation was fiercely staged.
"Di Di Di..." The alarm sound of the airborne electronic equipment suddenly sounded. "It is dangerous to be locked by the 'enemy'!" Yin Fanming, the captain of the flight team of the lead plane, immediately reacted. He acted decisively, implemented electronic interference, and led the formation to maneuver. The powerful overload pressed him tightly against the seat.
The two sides in the battle came and went, continuously implemented large-angle maneuvers, and while getting rid of the opponent's lock, they were looking for attack conditions. The mid-range battle became fierce. In the intertwined confrontation, the fighters are getting closer and closer.
"I'll lure you to attack!" With the help of the data link, Zhang Wei had a clear understanding of the "enemy" aircraft's intentions, and the wingman who understood it took advantage of the situation and reversed it at a large angle, successfully circling to the perfect position behind the "enemy" aircraft's tail. Yin Fanming quickly switched to the melee state, and pointed the nose of the "enemy" aircraft according to the instructions of the fire control system, and a clear and stable intercepted signal appeared on the sensor. "Constitute the launch conditions!" Yin Fanming pulled the trigger lightly, and the victory was locked.
research, summed up the replay and cracked the winning password
The aerial confrontation has just ended, and the ground has smoked again. When the confrontation ended and returned to the field, the pilots did not care about wiping the sweat, and immediately sat in front of the computer, called up the flight parameter data, and used the evaluation system to conduct a review and exchange together.
"Inaccurate assessment of air threats", "Incomplete situational awareness", "Unreasonable use of energy", "Ineffective maneuvers to get rid of"... Several pilots are reviewing the air situation, and the review and summary have become an important part of their daily training..
In the sea of video data, everyone sits in front of the evaluation system, as if they are weighing each other. In order to obtain real and accurate data, they almost use a magnifying glass to look at the aerial combat video frame by frame, every second. Count in seconds, replay the air situation, and comment on the gains and losses of air combat.
In the evaluation process, the regiment focused on problem finding and analysis, focusing on giving play to the "blade" role of the new instructors, constantly expanding the air combat concepts of the trainees, strictly focusing on the evaluation quality, efficiency and achievement conversion, and focusing on strengthening the pilots' autonomous combat capabilities.
At 23 o'clock in the evening, with more than a dozen fighter planes returning one after another, the day's flight ended smoothly. On the flight attendant bus, the pilots had a heated discussion about how to fly better and how to win the sky.
At this time, the author thinks of a sentence: the best gesture of a struggler is to run on the ideal road with a group of like-minded people. Looking back there is a story all the way, bowing your head with firm steps, looking up with a clear distance, and having an eternal original intention in your heart.
