Next chapter

In the Hotan area, in an airport, the runway is full of ice, but the middle runways are very clean, and there is even a trace of white steam in this cold winter.

Winter days in the western edge of the republic are extremely cold, and the icy runways are not suitable for fighter planes to take off and land.

A number of sprinkler trucks moved back and forth in the runway, constantly spraying the water in the tank around the perimeter, and then "snorted" and rose a puff of white mist.

By the time the mist cleared, there was still ice on the ground, but it wasn't as thick and stiff as before.

It wasn't until the ice on the ground had melted and the runway was full of puddles that the sprinklers finally gave up.

"Check the fighter plane, ready to take off! You only have five minutes, and if you miss it, the ground will freeze and it will be even more difficult to take off......" Inside the terminal, an Iranian commander in a lieutenant colonel uniform said with a walkie-talkie to the pilot of the blue fighter plane parked outside the hangar.

Although these fighters have a livery on them, they do not have the logo of any country's air force.

"These Iranians are really, and such a method can also be thought of......" Seeing that those fighters quickly moved, slowly rowing from the parking position to the runway, and then slowly turning and stopping, Qi Hao, who came here to watch, was a little surprised.

Before they slipped out of the hangar, the ground crew pilots had already conducted a comprehensive inspection of the fighters.

Today's weather conditions are good, but it snowed shortly ago. Even though the runway was cleaned, it was still frozen.

The Iranians did not wait for the snow to melt at all, but demanded that the Chinese side heat the ice surface of the runway with hot water. Melt.

From the very beginning to the present, it took more than an hour for a runway!

Liu Yijiu couldn't help but admire the situation on the runway in his heart.

Iran's military personnel are even able to surpass the military of the Republic in terms of not being afraid of death.

Moreover, these military men who are not afraid of death, su zhì are even better than the pilots of the republic!

"They need to test the performance of the fighter. It's not just that they're in a hurry! "Taking off in such an extreme environment requires very high performance from the fighter.

Especially the ability to run on the ground.

Iranians are not stupid, and they basically do not find such an environment in their country.

Meantime. On this plateau, the oxygen in winter is also relatively thin, and the air is even cooler than when the fighter is flying in the air, and the performance requirements for the engine are also very high.

Liu Yijiu initially hoped to wait until the weather warmed up before trading. But it was rejected by the Iranians.

Both sides of this transaction are in a hurry. In the end, a 1,500-meter-long runway was cleared by sprinkler handles, allowing the fighter to take off safely, although this increased the take-off distance of the fighter and was prone to danger. However, the Iranians insisted on this, and Liu Yijiu did not refuse, anyway, the money for the five fighters had already been delivered by the Iranians. This is the equipment of the Iranians.

In the afterglow of this sunset, Iran's excellent pilots piloted. One by one, the planes quickly spread their wings towards the southern sky.

At the beginning, the F-14s provided by Iran to China came from here, and the tanker planes also came from here, which was the first foothold to enter the airspace of the republic, and at the same time, it has now become the first point of export of the republic's fighter planes.

"The rolling torrent of history is finally about to begin to change direction! What flew away was not five fighters, but five little ants that blocked the progress of history and made this monster change direction...... "Looking at the five light blue fighters in the sky neatly arranged in an arrow formation flying towards the south, even if the weather was very cold and the water was dripping into ice, he didn't feel the slightest feeling.

The western part of the republic belongs to the interior, the temperature in winter is extremely low, and it is sparsely populated, and in the coldest winter, there are few people in the open area.

However, this area is different, originally only known for the jade industry, few people know that there is a military station of the Republic Air Force here, and in recent years, with the increase of trade with Pakistan, many areas here are military restricted areas.

In the past few years, this military station has been vigorously built, and all kinds of airport equipment have been built, and it is not even much smaller than some medium-sized military aircraft airports, but the number of surrounding buildings is not too much. A large part of the buildings are buried in the ground, and even the military barracks next to them are different from other airports.

After the fighter plane took off, the personnel on the airport began to pack up the things on both sides of the runway and headed towards the building not far away.

Liu Yijiu, who was personally sent here, didn't feel the cold at all.

"It's cold outside, let's go back, it'll be dark in a while, I hope the formation won't encounter any storms......" Seeing that the fighter formation in the distance was getting smaller and smaller, and finally gradually turned into a few small black dots and disappeared, Qi Hao said to Liu Yijiu next to him who was still looking closely at the sky in the distance.

"Minister Qi, do you think these fighters of ours can arrive safely?" Although these fighters can fly at an altitude of 26,000 meters and cross the Himalayas, even some backward fighters or transport planes during World War II can do it, even if they do not carry out the actual Yàn, it is not a problem to know that these fighters with better performance than the F-14 can cross the world's highest peak at all.

Liu Yijiu is still worried.

What he was worried about was not that the fighter would have problems with a natural disaster here, but that they had been preparing for this flight for many years.

Even the climatic conditions of the surrounding area are very familiar.

"You're not worried that this fighter plane won't be able to cross the Himalayas, are you?" Qi Hao smiled and asked Liu Yijiu, "I'm worried that their appearance on the battlefield is real, right?" ”

Liu Yijiu did not speak.

Instead, he still looked high into the distance.

The five fighters that took off from Hotan Airport completed the air formation in less than 3,000 meters in the sky.

The pilots of these fighters are at least the rank of major, and the leader of the team is a middle-aged colonel, if the members of the test flight team under the Ninth Academy are here, they will be able to know that this guy is Iran's combat hero, their instructor -- Zaire.

This one, at the beginning, flew the F-14 from across Iran, through Pakistan, and then over the snow-capped mountains into China.

After arriving in China, he has stayed in China to train F-14 pilots for China.

At the same time, after China completed the imitation of the F-14, he became the first J-11 to fly this new fighter, which is quite different from their F-14, and knows the fighter best.

He is now the captain of the entire formation, and all the fighters are under his orders.

After taking off from the airfield and completing the formation, he ordered the other fighters to maintain altitude and maintain the same speed as him and pounce on that side.

Soon, I saw the snow-capped mountains emerging from the clouds in the distance!

"Pay attention to check the motivation!" Chinese fighters, engines are the most worrying problem for him, there have been too many problems in China's engine air tests before, he has witnessed it with his own eyes, under such extreme conditions, the Chinese did not test the performance of the engine.

"Roger, Chief......"

"The engine is normal, the output power is completely sufficient, there is still a lot left, much better than ours......"

"There is no problem, the indicators are ...... normally"

When he received the voice from the communication channel, Zairi was very satisfied.

A smile just appeared on his face, but when he felt the shaking of the fighter, he suddenly stiffened.

"There is convection ahead, 45 ° climb, height 24000!" is worthy of being a combat hero of Iran, and when he encounters such a situation, he has a plan in an instant.

The pilots of the other fighters were also experienced and trained by the US imperialists, and then they were excellent pilots on the battlefield between Iran and Iraq, and after hearing the order, they all started to operate.

The nose of the plane, which was originally flying at a level level, was quickly lifted upward, and it was not until it maintained a 45° angle to the water level that it kept running straight towards the sky.

"Keep an eye on the clouds, keep an eye on the power output!"

While issuing orders, he observed the power output of the fighters.

"No, the air flow outside is too strong, and the output power is not enough......"

A fighter plane on Zaire's left was shaken by the strong air current, and it was almost unable to control its flight attitude.

The same is true for the other fighters, all the pilots are trying to hold the joysticks steady so that the planes don't shake too much.

"The power reality is sufficient, the air flow outside is too disordered, if it continues like this, it will make the flight attitude of the fighter uncontrollable......" Zaire's fighter plane also began to shake violently.

If you knew it earlier, you should have climbed to enough altitude at the beginning.

The peaks on this side are different from the other, and the cold snap from the north flows back when it is blocked by the Himalayas, and it is still accelerating......

"Full Power Output ......"

The two engine vents in the tail of the fighter, which were originally very light in color, all turned incandescent white in an instant, forming two white trajectories behind the fighter, even if the wind was howling, it stayed for several seconds before dissipating.

The plane's flight attitude has become more stable, but it is still shaking.

Like lightning, the five fighters were at an angle of 45 degrees to the sky, constantly climbing towards it......

Feeling that the fighter plane began to shake again, and looking at the height above the fighter dashboard, Zaire issued another order: "Turn on afterburner!" ”

The tail flame of the five fighters changed again, and the fighters, which were originally fast enough, instantly increased a lot of speed.

When it reached an altitude of 22,000 meters, the fighter plane did not feel the slightest shaking.

Above were white clouds, and at extreme speeds, five fighters quickly emerged from the clouds......
