All the way back to the combat training base, the night flight is just in time.

One after another warhawks slid quickly into the night sky with tail flames, flashing green lights on the left and right until they were far away.

The weather was fine.

Li Zhan came out of the aviation medical room and went directly to the flight briefing room, and found that Bao Guanhua was also there, so he reported to Bao Guanhua about the discussion with the army aviation brigade.

Bao Guanhua said, "When the brigade commander comes down, you will report to him." In principle, combat readiness patrols can share a part of the Army Aviation Brigade, and we should also do combat readiness patrols. ”

"The brigade commander flew?" Li Zhan was surprised.

Counting it, Xue Xiangdong hasn't flown at night for a few days.

Bao Guanhua said, "According to the latest order of the Air Division, the military commander must play a leading role and have the ability to use all equipment. ”

"Which aircraft does the brigade commander fly?" Li Zhan asked.

"Su Erqi, Nie Jianfeng is taking him." Bao Guanhua said.

Li Zhan put down his flying helmet and said with a smile, "It's hard for him to be old." ”

"Yes, your rating assessment results are down, congratulations on your promotion to a second-class pilot." Bao Guanhua reported good news to Li Zhan.

The flight time of the unit has reached the order of 1,500 hours in more than two years, and Li Zhan is even fully qualified to participate in the first-class pilot assessment, but his years of experience are too small, and it is already exceptional to participate in the second-level pilot assessment. Major Battalion Captain, Air Force Second-Class Pilot, Air Force Talent Pool Member, Seven First-Class Meritorious, Patriotic Army Elite Pacesetter, Western Warrior......

Li Zhan said happily, "Great, I finally made the cut." ”

"The job title has come up, the salary has also come up, and the villa loan is just around the corner." Bao Guanhua said with a smile.

The little prince of the trolley bought a villa has long been spread throughout the brigade, and everyone knows that the captain of the trolley team pulled more than 600,000 yuan last year and went home to buy a villa during the Spring Festival. One villa a year, one villa a year, everyone jokes that the trolley captain flies to the ground, and it is estimated that he can build a community.

Li Zhanzheng said, "Political commissar, the successful promotion shows that my flying skills have been recognized, mainly because of this recognition, it really doesn't matter if you have money or not." ”

Bao Guanhua said, "I believe you are speaking from your heart. Busy with you, I'll go to the tower and have a look. ”

"Yes!"

Sending Bao Guanhua away, Li Zhan summoned Han Hongjun, Li Zixin, and Wu Zhen, who were sitting on the other side studying the charts, and said, "Has the equipment been checked?" ”

"After checking, Zhang Te also did a test, and there was no problem. Just waiting for your order. Han Hongjun said.

Tonight's night flight has a special mission to test the effectiveness of the first phase of the Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center. Zhang Te cooperated with an electronics research institute to develop a terminal, and modified a SU-27SK and a SU-27UBK and Li Zhan's J-7EGG, which can be connected to the tactical intelligence interaction center through the data link, and can obtain the information and data of the tactical intelligence interaction center in real time.

If successful, the pilots of the 101st Brigade will be able to know their specific location anytime and anywhere, and will be able to obtain timely data on regional weather changes, especially for night flights, which can provide better security. In the past, the biggest difficulty of night flights was that the pilots did not know the relative position, and even the runway was difficult to find. With this terminal with positioning function, all problems will be solved.

The most powerful function is the identification of friend or foe, through which the ground command post can know the status of all fighters, including the flight attitude, and can identify them.

After the future system is fully formed, it will be the tactical data link of the Air Force, organically linking each fighter. According to Zhang, without hundreds of billions of dollars of capital investment and a construction period of twenty or thirty years, we will not see results.

What the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center can do now is only a very low-level stage, which is even more rudimentary than the data link system used by the 300 Divisions.

More than 30 million have been invested.

Li Zhan glanced at the time and said, "Let's get ready for boarding, the main task tonight is to test the intelligence interaction system, and pay attention to the flight action not to be too intense." ”

"Yes!" The three of them replied immediately, picked up their flying helmets and rushed out.

Li Zhan was the last to go out and took a commuter car to the tarmac. The No. 037 J-7EGG is probably the most unrecognizable modification and improvement in the Air Force's active J-7 series. Stuffed with a Thunder with the same Doppler radar, replaced the WP-7PG engine, replaced the cockpit instruments, installed a head-up display, a new radar warning system, and now has a tactical intelligence interactive terminal.

The combat capability of the No. 037 J-7EGG is infinitely close to that of the third-generation aircraft.

This is the real magic J-7, which is the same as the Army's five-pair wheeled Type 59 medium tank carrying a 120mm smoothbore gun.

"The hole is ready to take off." The tower commander Yang Jinshan gave the order.

Li Zhan watched the SU-27UBK piloted by Han Hongjun and Li Zixin take off, and the tail flames at the nozzles of the two AL-31F engines were very eye-catching. After climbing, it turned west and flew over the North Ku Mountains, and test work began.

"Dong San Gui understands." Li Zhan pushed the throttle stick to the end, waited for the engine speed to climb, released the brake, the fighter accelerated and sliding, and the lever raised its head and lifted off the ground.

The color display on the left side presents a variety of information, such as real-time position changes of the fighter, ground altitude, altitude and heading, etc., which are clear at a glance. This reminded Li Zhan of when he first arrived in Beiku, driving the J-7B, an old and backward early model J-7, and the simplicity of the cockpit made people feel traversed.

"Three turns, test the task distribution system, pay attention to checking." After Yang Jinshan got Zhang Te's permission, he reminded Li Zhan.

Li Zhan looked down at the color screen, and a line of information immediately popped up in the middle position, the target location and the task, and he immediately reported, "Dong Sangui has successfully received the task, confirm that the information is correct, and it is over." ”

"Hole three turns to simulate an attack, stay tuned and contact at any time, over." Yang Jinshan said.

"Hole three turns, over."

The No. 037 J-7EGG with three auxiliary fuel tanks flew in the direction of the desert on a steep turn, Li Zhan looked at the sky, starry, and could see two small dots flying higher in the sky. The color screen display should be able to see the location of the friendly aircraft, and after Li Zhan adjusted the display mode, he could immediately see the specific location of the friendly aircraft and the relevant flight data.

At least so far, Li Zhan is satisfied with the results of the Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center, and the investment of more than 30 million yuan has not been in vain. Being able to see the status of friendly aircraft can not only avoid accidental injury, but also use more tactics during combat, which greatly improves combat efficiency.

Li Zhan made a simulated attack on the simulated target, and the whole process was very smooth, and the operation of the tactical intelligence interaction system was very stable. Completely detached from the guidance of the ground command post, relying on the tactical intelligence interaction system to find the target and carry out the strike. This change in combat style represents the future direction of the Air Force.

Tonight's big step for Li Zhan will be a small step in the operational development of the Air Force.

For the officers and men at the grassroots level, specifically Li Zhan and his landline No. 037 J-7EGG, the significance of the success of the first phase of the construction of the tactical intelligence interactive system lies in giving her a new life. Fighters that should have been eliminated from the combat sequence over time have become more powerful because of the system, which greatly extends the service time.

"Three turns in the hole, return home." Yang Jinshan gave the order.

Li Zhan was puzzled, "Tower, what's the situation?" Complete. ”

Before the test work is over, let me go back, what a joke.

"Three turns in the hole, if there are other circumstances, return immediately, over."

"Understood!"
