In late April, summer had already entered in the southwest, and the sea monsoon from the South China Sea brought moisture-containing air, and then collided with the cold air that had survived the trek from Siberia through various mountain ranges to form a small amount of rainfall, supplemented by the temperature of more than 30 degrees Celsius at noon, and the slimy feeling made the pilots of the Falcon Brigade who were accustomed to living in the western region quite uncomfortable.

The weather in Xixian County at the same latitude is about the same at this moment, right?

Li Zhan stood on the tower and looked at the eight J-10A multi-role fighters and four J-10S combat trainers neatly lined up on the taxiway in the outfield.

The grandsons of the Big Red Eagle Division can get the opportunity to go abroad for exercises every year, and their fuselage paint with the five-star red flag is simply retained, which is the same as that of the 300 Division.

Yesterday, Li Zhan led 14 pilots of the Eagle Falcon Brigade to the Shanshan Station of the Great Red Eagle Division to receive refitting training. The station is stationed in the 931 regiment, which was equipped with the J-10A as early as 2004, and was the first unit to be equipped with this model, and it became famous for a while.

The Kindness Station is also the headquarters of the division.

Cheng Da, the chief of staff of the regiment, stood beside Li Zhan and introduced with a smile, "Eight single-seater planes and four two-seater aircraft, the twelve Jian-10 planes you see now are going to be handed over to you." ”

The lieutenant colonel and deputy chief of staff of the regiment were very polite to Li Zhan, after all, the three major offensive subjects now implemented by the troops were explored and formulated by this well-known western warrior. Based on this alone, the significance of Li Zhan himself does not lie in his position.

Li Zhan greedily watched the twelve J-10s walking on elephants, and said excitedly, "Chief, I can't wait." ”

"Lao Yu has mentioned you many times, and the biggest reason why you participated in the recruitment was influenced by the first flight of the domestic third-generation aircraft, which was the J-10." Cheng Da said.

Li Zhan said, "Yes, the J-10 is my dream fighter, but unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to contact her until now." Yes, chief, you said that you are old? ”

"Your old regiment commander Yu Chenglin, their four regiments were also trained by us, and I was specifically responsible for organizing them." Cheng Da said with a smile.

This person was of medium stature, standing there with his hands hanging down naturally, giving people a gentle and approachable feeling, and always having a smile on his face, but Li Zhan found that the skin on the palms of his hands had already appeared calluses, and the essence of looking at the sky in his eyes was also captured by Li Zhan.

This is a combat pilot with a strong attack mentality, and his flight hours will definitely not be less than Yu Chenglin, who is older than him and has a higher position than him, maybe much more.

He probably bought a villa too, right?

Li Zhan smiled, "I see, chief......"

"Xiao Li, you just call me Lao Cheng, the chief is not suitable, there are only two chiefs in the good field, the division commander and the political commissar." Cheng Da waved his hand indifferently and said.

"Okay, old man." Li Zhan is not squeamish, he is not a person who pays attention to red tape.

The commander in charge of the tower was a captain who gave the order for the formation to take off. The 931st Regiment on the front line in the southwest is not an ordinary person, and they can become the first unit to be equipped with J-10 fighters not only because of the geographical location, but also because this unit is too powerful.

This unit once participated in the territorial air defense round battle in the southeast, and later moved to the Shanshan Field Station to have always had combat missions, and there is no need to repeat the clues by looking at the geographical location of the station.

Their rich practical combat experience should be at the forefront of the Air Force Aviation Unit.

Or from another thing to illustrate, Li Zhan engaged in free air combat without altitude difference when he visited the 300th Division, which was later popularized in the 101st Regiment and then expanded to the 73rd Division, which greatly stimulated the speed of the actual combat training of the air force aviation units. However, before that, the 931st Regiment had engaged in similar air combat training as early as the seventies and eighties, but it was later canceled for a time.

Judging from the history of the development of the troops, there are many similarities between the Great Red Eagle Division and the Western Tattered King Division. Before the J-10 was installed, the Big Red Eagle Division also drove the J-6 Plus and J-7 early models, and there was not even a single beautiful man in the air, and then all three generations were made overnight......

The 101st Brigade has officially received an order to complete the three generations within this year, except for the new aircraft, all other gaps are replaced with second-hand goods from brother units. The Air Force Division has made up its mind to build the Beiku Combat Training Base into the most professional simulated blue army confrontation training base in the whole army.

Li Zhan's participation in the modification of the J-10 was not his personal strong request, but at the beginning of the year, the Air Force Division issued a special document requiring the military commanders of the troops to master the skills of using the listed models. The Eagle Falcon Brigade must be equipped with both J-10A and J-11B, so the team leader must be able to fly both models.

Not only him, after Nie Jianfeng completed the training of the new flying belt, he also had to undergo the modification training of the J-10A.

The Air Force Division has already made great efforts to vigorously grasp the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Twelve J-10 fighters took off in a two-plane formation and took off in succession, and six batches of 12 fighters took off to carry out low-altitude penetration and strike training.

Li Zhan reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and Cheng Da said, "Let's go, go to the simulation cabin." ”

The Red Eagle Division attaches great importance to the modification work of the Eagle Falcon Brigade, and the division commander has repeatedly told Cheng Da to do a good job of passing on the help and helping the troops, and must do his best to help the fraternal units complete the modification training as soon as possible. There is also some flattering meaning in it - the Big Red Eagle Division is also going to Beiku to engage in confrontation!

The two aces in front of them let the Eagle Falcon Brigade fall down, and the air division directly notified the whole army to criticize, and the commanders of the two ace main divisions lost all face, so that the army called the Eagle Falcon Brigade a Yin Damage Brigade. The lessons of the past are still there, and now the main pilots of the Eagle Falcon Brigade are on their own territory, so why don't you hurry up and earn some favors.

So Cheng Da personally connected with Li Zhan and taught one-on-one.

In the process of training, it is not a way to understand the opponent, and the opponent's fighting style, tactical thinking and even tactical characteristics can be understood in detail and in depth, which is very conducive to defeating the opponent in future confrontations.

Although the air division has not yet been determined, the Big Red Eagle Division believes that the third Eagle Falcon Brigade is likely to be against them, or a division in the northeast.

"I won't say much about the difference in the technical parameters of the J-10 and the Su-27, the information is all above, so I will focus on the difference between the two fighters from my personal experience." Cheng Da and Li Zhan walked steadily towards the simulation cabin training center and slowly introduced.

Cheng Da said, "The J-10A uses the same engine as the Su 27, not to mention the thrust characteristics, because of the difference in aerodynamic layout, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the J-10A is better, the maneuverability is better, and of course, the static instability characteristics are also more obvious." Another major difference is the manipulation system. The J-10A uses a full set of fly-by-wire flight controllers, which are very advanced in performance and have no mechanical backup. I flew the J-11A at the top base for eight months, that is, the domestically assembled version of the Su-27, and later flew the J-10A, and the strongest feeling after flying the J-10A was that the control was very pure. ”

He frowned and pondered the appropriate wording, saying, "Very pure, clean, every movement is a movement, and the nose is more flexible and precise." When I flew J-11A, I was always worried about the trim problem, although I knew that the longitudinal fly-by-wire system would do a good job, but after all, I knew that her birth defects were there, and I was always so worried. ”

"Hmm...... Another difference is that the driving experience brought by the weight of the aircraft is completely different. Kaisu Liangqi has never worried about the time in the air, the range of the plane is too powerful. At the same time, it also brings a problem, the flexibility of the aircraft in a full fuel state has been significantly affected, and if it is fully loaded, there is basically no maneuverability at all. J-10 will not, even if you get on three auxiliary fuel tanks and four air-to-air missiles, most of the stunts can be done by gritting your teeth. ”

Li Zhan said, "The key is still in the aerodynamic layout, and the canard aerodynamic layout of the J-10 has inherent advantages." ”

"Yes." Cheng Da said, "The Jian-10 project was started in the 80s of the last century, and the original design idea was to build a pure air superiority fighter, without considering the ability to strike at the ground and sea. And it just so happened to get some technical ...... of the canard aerodynamic layout"

The J-10 is rushing to fight for air supremacy, but after entering the 21 st century, the troops found that the situation has changed somewhat, and compared with air supremacy, the J-10 should take on more ground-to-sea combat missions, which has strengthened the surface-to-sea strike capability of the B type and the newer C type.

The characteristics of the canard aerodynamic layout are very obvious, simply put, it is the main wing and the tail of the conventional aerodynamic layout of the relocation, in fact, the main wing of the canard aerodynamic layout fighter is the small canard wing in front, and the huge delta wing that mainly provides lift is the tail.

The static instability of this aerodynamic layout is more obvious than that of delta-wing fighters, and it is difficult for pilots to rely on the mechanical transmission system to fully control it if it is not controlled by fly-by-wire.

In layman's terms, the J-10 is more lively, like an active little boy, while the SU-27 series fighters are more like a steady old man.

Cheng Da said, "Another obvious change that can be seen is the cockpit, J-10A is a standard third-generation cockpit, and the data information is mainly displayed on three screens, and there are no large number of instruments in Su Liangqi." After a while, you can experience that when you enter the simulated cockpit, it is simply incomparable. ”

"I have understood, I used to visit the simulated cockpit of the 300 divisions flying over their Su-30, and it is faster and clearer to obtain relevant data." Li Zhan said with a smile.

Cheng Da said, "The cockpit of our J-10 is more advanced than that of the Su 30, and the B-type is more advanced, with the addition of a heads-up display, which basically replaces most of the functions of the instrument." ”

Li Zhan remembered that there was a problem with the J-10B oxygen supply system of the 300th Division in the Western Military Exercise last year, and hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you know about the mechanical failure of the J-10B of the 300th Division in the Western Military Exercise last year?" ”

"Can you not know that the whole army has been informed?" Cheng Da said solemnly, "The failure of the oxygen supply system, after the technical analysis of the manufacturer, suspects that it is a special case, and the production process of some parts cannot meet the requirements of the plateau environment." It has been fully investigated, and the same failure will not occur again. ”

Li Zhan asked, "Has Type A ever appeared?" ”

"Nope." Cheng Da said, "We have never fallen the Jian-10, a few years ago, other troops fell one, and the bird in the air happened to fly in the mountains and hit the mountain." ”

Li Zhan nodded slightly, "I know that." ”

"Don't talk about this, what are you worried about, aren't you nicknamed Good Luck, you will definitely get off to a good start." Cheng Da smiled and said with relief.

Li Zhan said with a wry smile, "My heart is not steady, whenever I really want to get something, there will always be a lot of difficulties and obstacles." ”

"I know your previous experience in the Second Division......"
