A few days later, a J-30 fighter took off from a coastal air base in southern China and flew in the direction of the South China Sea.

The South China Sea has been China's territorial waters since ancient times, but it has now been reduced to a disputed and sensitive area, with Nanhai Zhudao not only controlled by China, but also occupied by Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and other countries.

The J-30 took off from this coastal air base and headed all the way south, with a range of more than 5,000 kilometers from the J-30 fighters, at most it could only fly to the Nansha Islands, make a slight turn, and then immediately return home.

Nansha Islands, a straight-line distance of 2,500 or 600 kilometers from Zhanjiang, such a long distance, if the J-10 and J-11 fighters take off from Zhanjiang, even if they are equipped with turbofan 20 engines, the range will be greatly increased, but it will not be enough to fly over to the South China Sea, unless they are refueled in the air.

Due to the limitation of the voyage, there are very few Chinese fighters in the entire Nansha Islands area, so China's control over the Nansha area is relatively weak, and it often happens that the Philippines and other countries arrest Chinese fishermen in the Nansha area.

In the case of warships, they can naturally cruise the South China Sea, but the speed of warships is limited, and if they find that ships from other countries have intruded into China's territorial waters, or openly arrest Chinese fishermen, China's warships will rush over, at least for a long time, and people will run away for such a long time.

In addition, because of the interference of the United States and the lack of strength of the Chinese side, there is still a certain degree of inconvenience for Chinese warships to patrol the South China Sea.

With the enhancement of national strength, the J-30 fighter will soon be equipped with the military, and the strength of the air force will be substantially improved, and the Chinese side may become more and more tough on the South China Sea issue in the future, and the deployment of J-30 fighters may also focus on the South China Sea region.

Now, with the initial development of the J-30 fighter, it has been successful. This situation may be changed to a great extent, and the test flight of the J-20 fighter, including the test flight in the South China Sea.

Today, the test flight in the South China Sea, on the one hand, is a test of the J-30 fighter, in the climatic conditions of subtropical or tropical seas. Whether the J-30 fighter is competent.

On the other hand, nature has a deep meaning, faintly containing the meaning of warning those clowns who jump off the beam.

This J-30 fighter left this air base, and in the envious eyes of a group of military commanders, ground crews, and some air force pilots, this J-30 fighter flew into the blue sky, gradually disappeared, and was never seen again.

Able to fly J-30 fighters. Who doesn't envy it, since the J-30 fighter came to the airport a few days ago, many pilots are hot in their hearts and want to fly this new fighter to have a good time.

However, the J-30 fighter is still in the test flight stage, and it has not yet been mass-produced, and if you want to fly the J-30 fighter into the blue sky, you may have to wait for at least a few months.

Watching the J-30 fighter leave the airport. As it faded away, many pilots looked envious. Some people are still chatting about the topic of J-30, and in addition to envy, there are also expectations in their tones.

Lao Li and Lao Zhang are both senior pilots, and Tang Liang, who just flew the J-30 fighter and left, has explained several times, and everyone is no stranger to each other. The two were also chatting.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Tang, who piloted the J-30 fighter, you know it! I didn't think this kid was so lucky. ”

"Lao Li, it's not enough to be envious, Lao Tang is an ace test pilot. The flight time is more than you and me combined, and the fighters he has flown from J-8, J-10 to J-20 and now J-30 fighters, Lao Tang is proficient in everything. ”

"Lao Zhang, in this way, it really can't be compared, it seems that you and I don't have this blessing, we can only wait for the J-30 fighters to equip the troops in batches, and we can only fly the J-30 fighters."

"Lao Li! It seems that I really have to wait for a while, I don't know what it's like to fly the J-30 fighter, I'm looking forward to it! ”

"Lao Zhang, I heard that the J-30 fighter is more advanced than the American F22, the cruising speed can reach Mach 3, and the maximum speed can exceed Mach 3.5.

"Cruising speed Mach 3! My good boy! ”

Hearing that the J-30 fighter could cruise at a speed of Mach 3, Lao Zhang was speechless for a while, and thought in his heart, I must fly the J-30 fighter in the future.

The pilots were talking about the J-30 fighter, and the senior commanders at the airport were also in a heated discussion after watching the J-30 fighter gradually move away.

"Lao Liu, the J-30 fighter has entered the test flight, it is estimated that it will not be long before we will install a large number of them, think about it, it is enough to make people inexplicably excited!"

"Yes! J-30 fighter! The most advanced fighter in the world! ”

"Well, I just don't know, in the future, J-30 fighters will be officially installed in large quantities, and how many J-30 fighters will we be equipped here!"

"I estimate that there will always be twenty or thirty planes, and when the J-30 fighter is officially installed, if there is a chance, I want to fly the J-30 fighter to have a good time."

"Haha, I think it's better to forget it, the cruising speed can reach Mach 3, the maximum speed can exceed Mach 3.5, and the J-30 fighter is not something that we old guys can pilot."

The Air Force colonel who spoke just now, thinking about his age of more than 40 years old, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, at such an age, with his many years of experience and thousands of flight hours, it may be okay to fly a J-10 fighter.

As for the J-30 fighter, it can only be forgotten, and it can only be left to those young pilots, thinking about this, the colonel couldn't help but smile and touch his chin.

After the J-30 fighter went away and flew at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the J-30 began to accelerate, without afterburner, the fighter easily broke through the sound barrier, and the speed gradually reached about Mach 2, at this speed, it flew in the direction of Xisha.

According to the flight plan, arrive in Xisha first and land at Woody Island Airport.

Located on Woody Island, the administrative center of the Xisha Islands in Sansha City, Hainan Province, with a runway running through one side of the island, Woody Island Airport is a modern military-civilian shared airport with important strategic significance and is China's first island airport in the South China Sea.

Construction began in 1990, and the first phase of the project was completed the following year, with a runway of about 1 km. The total width of the airport is 150 meters, and the width of the runway is 55 meters. In the 2014 Woody Island expansion project, the runway was lengthened to 3 kilometers on the basis of 2,700 meters, which entered the level of a large airport and could take off and land large transport aircraft.

The 3-kilometer-long runway can take off and land large and medium-sized transport planes, anti-submarine aircraft, early warning aircraft, and patrol planes, such as Y-7 and Y-8. It can also take off and land J-8II, J-10, J-11, J-7 and other light and heavy third-generation fighters.

Previously, since there was no airfield on Woody Island, fighter jets took off from Hainan Island and sailed to Xisha and ran out. If you want to cruise to the Spratly Islands again, you will only have time to fly around by refueling in the air. Therefore, at that time, the Air Force in Nansha was only a symbolic existence.

With the completion of the 2,700-meter runway on Woody Island and the continuous improvement of supporting facilities, combat planes can already be stationed in Xisha Island, which will greatly improve China's defense capability in Nansha and Xisha Island.

Woody Island could effectively extend the PLA's "line of action" south of the South China Sea, allowing China to gain greater "coverage" and "sustaining capabilities" in the sea and air in disputed areas of the South China Sea.

It is said that Woody Island Airport may be further expanded to prepare for the stationing of new fighters such as the J-18 and J-30 in the future.

Today, the J-30 fighter flew to Woody Island, knowing that the J-30 fighter was coming, the airport made preparations early.

The two runways on the island are empty, there is not a single plane, all the planes are already parked on the tarmac.

Tang Liang piloted the J-30 fighter plane and flew directly to Yongxing Island Airport, to take a look at his position, and then to look at the vast sea surface under the altitude of 10,000 meters, Tang Liang knew that a certain place was about to arrive.

"The cruising speed of Mach 2 is really enjoyable, if it is a previous J-10 fighter, it may not have flown half of the range." Tang Liang thought so in his heart.

Soon, islands appeared on the sea, and Tang Liang began to slow down, reduce the altitude, and prepare to land at Woody Island Airport.

Looking at the fuel consumption of the aircraft, Tang Liang thought in his heart, even if he didn't need to refuel and resupply on Woody Island, the J-30 fighter he piloted could fly a few big circles throughout the Nansha Islands.

According to the requirements of the flight plan, the fighter plane landed at Woody Island Airport, and as the altitude became lower and lower, the distance became closer and closer, and Tang Liang could already see the straight runway on the island.

For the J-30 fighter, the landing gear compartment was opened, the landing gear was released, and it landed on the runway.

"Squeak!!

With a soft sound, the J-30 fighter landed smoothly at Woody Island Airport, taxied, and then landed on the runway.

The plane came to a standstill, Tang Liang opened the canopy of the plane, and was about to get off the plane, when a ground service car and several colonel-level officers rushed over together.

One of the colonels looked overjoyed and said in his heart, my God, this is the J-30 fighter!

Tang Liang got off the plane, saluted a standard military salute, and said loudly: "Hello chief, Captain Tang Liang, drive the J-30 No. 002 aircraft to arrive at Woody Island Airport, please instruct!" ”

The colonel smiled happily and said: "Captain Tang, hello, you take a rest first, starting tomorrow, we will start the test flight one by one according to the test flight plan." ”

"Yes!"

Tang Liang stood up and saluted, and immediately left here with a reception staff from the airport and walked towards the distance.

These officers from the airport first surrounded the J-30 fighter with relish and looked at it very happily, and then several ground crew members filled the fighter with fuel.

In addition to several ground crews, there are also several engineers and technicians of Tianfeng Technology Company, the J-30 fighter test flight, these technicians will provide technical services for the J-30 fighter.

After a little checking, everything is normal with the fighter, the fuel is refueled, and the fighter can take off again.
