Chapter 287: Heavy Fighters Over Highway Four
After the adrenaline went down quickly, Li Zhan slowly returned to his usual state, and after taking off the oxygen mask, he felt a wave of nausea welling up, and then vomited on the dashboard with a "poof".
The after-effects of the large overload maneuver are only now appearing.
Li Zhan shook his head helplessly and put on the oxygen mask again to avoid the stench of vomit.
"Dong Qi, I have called away all the planes in the airspace in front of you, do you choose the right altitude by yourself, are you sure you want to make a forced landing?" Xue Xiangdong asked solemnly.
Li Zhan frowned and checked the various systems of the fighter, except for the left engine that could not be restarted, the rest of the systems were normal, but he clearly felt that the trembling of the fighter had exceeded the boundary.
"Yes Tower, I'm going to make a forced landing on Highway 4, over." Li Zhan made a quick decision.
He couldn't even fly to the nearest Nankuchang station.
Highway No. 4 is a high-grade highway in the No. 4 area, which is built in accordance with the specifications of the combat readiness runway, and can be used as an emergency runway for fighters in wartime, mainly for the forced landing of fighters. Li Zhan would not choose to make a forced landing on a high-grade highway unless he had to do so, although he could fly about 200 kilometers for another half an hour to return to Beikuchang Station.
He feared that the SU-01 No. 27SK would not be able to hold out for another half an hour.
It is considered a success to land the fighter on the ground completely, and you must know that the relevant data obtained in today's encounter drill and the data recorded by the flight staff on the fighter are very valuable. The most important thing is that Li Zhan still has hope for the No. 01 SU-27SK that will last to the end, after all, there are still 200 hours to fly.
Xue Xiangdong was obviously asking for instructions, and forced landing was the last resort, and there was no choice in the field to make a forced landing.
Approval was quickly obtained, and the North Reservoir Station immediately contacted the Army Aviation Regiment stationed at the South Reservoir Station for training and asked them to send transport helicopters carrying the emergency detachment of the 101 Brigade to Highway No. 4, and at the same time dispatched an emergency rescue convoy to Highway No. 4.
The attitude of the No. 01 SU-27SK is very good, and even the flight controller can self-trim. The left engine stopped, the thrust was unbalanced, and if the flight control could not be trimmed, the pilot needed to control the tail rudder to keep the fighter in direct flight. Li Zhan was very puzzled about the state of the No. 01 SU-27SK, the fuselage shook so badly, but all the other systems except for the left engine were very normal.
The speed of more than 250 kilometers per hour is slow and steady at an altitude of 3,000 meters, as steady as Mount Tai.
The more this happened, the more uneasy Li Zhan became.
The location of Highway No. 4 is familiar to Li Zhan, it is a high-grade two-lane highway that runs almost straight across the entire desert and no man's land, and can take off and land all the fighters and medium transport planes in the Air Force in an emergency. In the 101st Brigade's alternate landing field and forced landing area directory, Highway 4 ranks quite high, but the 101st Brigade rarely uses this road.
The tower kept reporting the relative position, and seeing that it was only more than 20 kilometers, Li Zhan became more and more nervous.
He remembered the night when Sanhe fought the flood, the short three-month time he spent with the old No. 101 J-8FR, every inch of her skin, her engine vent, and her narrow cockpit were all so outstanding, like pitch-black fireflies, shining in the sky above the MixC Airport.
"Dong Yu Su Liangqi, you hold on, it's okay when you get to the ground, you must hold on, I have been dependent on you for so many months, I can't send a black-haired person to a white-haired person......"
"Doodoo ......"
"Tweet ......"
"Woo woo woo ......"
"Didi ......"
"Da Da Da ......"
All of a sudden, all the alarms in the cockpit rang out at the same time, and even the radar alarms were chirping frantically. Li Zhan was suddenly stunned. There will definitely be no fire control radar locking on to him in Area Four, and the only explanation is that the radar alarm is out of order.
All systems malfunctioned, and the unique alarm sounds of each system filled the entire cockpit, drowning Li Zhan in the frenzied air.
The fighter plane was shaking violently, all the data on the instrument panel was disordered, and those meter pointers were running around like a psychopath. However, except for the trembling of the airframe, the flight attitude of the fighter plane was not affected in any way.
The combination of extreme abnormality and extreme normality is extremely dangerous.
Li Zhan was not worried about any problems with the fighter, as long as he met the abandonment criteria, he could immediately parachute to escape, but the situation in front of him made him extremely entangled. Judging from the situation reflected in the cockpit instrument panel, the pilot must immediately abandon the plane and escape, but in fact, the flight attitude of the fighter plane has not changed much except that it shakes more violently.
Just like driving a Volkswagen Passat that will fall apart at any time except for the horn and has a life-threatening function to run wildly on a desert highway at a speed exceeding the speed of the meter, it is the best way and tool to commit suicide by traveling.
Li Zhan's heart jumped to his throat, and then he didn't dare to let it go at all. He operated the stick with the same caution as he had never done before, and did not dare to move the throttle stick so that the fighter could fly at its current speed, and his eyes quickly searched ahead for Route 4.
"Tower, everything is sounding on my side except for the horn, but the fighter plane's controllable attitude is stable, strange and scary, over." Li Zhan reported the situation to North Kutatai.
"Good luck, is the meter data normal?" Xue Xiangdong asked sharply.
Li Zhan replied, "It's all messed up, it's over." ”
"Good luck, Highway 4 is fifteen kilometers ahead of you, done." Xue Xiangdong once again reported the relative position.
"Understood, over."
This time it was really a blind exercise, and it was a blind exercise without flight data, Li Zhan couldn't get any data through the instrument, everything could only be guessed.
How do you land safely in such a situation?
Descent rate, ground height, airspeed, pitch angle, landing gear...... Li Zhan has no way to obtain these data through the instrument and screen display. At this time, the data presented by the instrument and the screen display are all wrong, and the speed display is more than 2,500 kilometers per hour, isn't this a joke! Looking at the decline rate again, according to this decline rate, Li Zhan would have hit the ground and burned to charcoals!
"This is the real blind fuck of the fuck!"
Li Zhan was aroused by his competitive spirit, and said viciously, "I'll pull the lever...... The Falcon King of the West is not in vain, I can get to where I am today without three or two hands? I'm going to talk to you today! ”
The North Kuta Terrace side was also busy in a solemn atmosphere, of course they knew what kind of state Li Zhan was facing, and the most important thing was that at this moment, Li Zhan could not get the timely and effective landing guidance of the tower, and everything could only rely on himself.
"The air division deceives people too much, and he knows ......"
"Shut up!" Xue Xiangdong reprimanded Yang Jinshan, who was unscrupulous, "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, have you forgotten what you do?" ”
Yang Jinshan did not know about aerial surveying and mapping, and he, like everyone else, only regarded it as a comprehensive exercise of the Nighthawk Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron and the Eagle Falcon Brigade to conduct tactical reconnaissance training, and naturally he did not know that Li Zhan was to accept the random inspection and assessment of the air division on the premise of covering the completion of the aerial surveying and mapping task of the No. 101 J-8FR, which was the pre-enemy situation environment set up by the air division.
As a result, everyone thinks that the air division has not done enough in this surprise spot check assessment.
"Zhang Yuan! Is the weather data for Highway 4 out? Hurry up! Xue Xiangdong turned his head and shouted Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan was very busy, and when the data came out, he didn't just report it to this side, as the chief meteorologist, he had to make judgment and analysis, especially when the pilot could not obtain data through the air data system of the fighter, his judgment and analysis results were even more important.
After a while, Zhang Yuan reported, "Report to the commander!" Good luck with track 27! Enter from the east and land west! The wind is five meters, and the wind direction is ninety degrees! ”
Xue Xiangdong immediately reported to Li Zhan, "Good luck comes, the wind is five meters, the wind direction is ninety degrees, you have to land from east to west, runway 27, over!" ”
"Runway 27, the wind is five meters, the wind direction is ninety degrees, understand, over!" Li Zhan accurately recounted.
When Li Zhan searched forward again, he finally saw a black line appear on the ground in front of him, heading east and west, cutting the desert. There is only one high-grade highway in Area 4, and the black line ahead is definitely Highway 4.
"Tower, I see Highway 4, it's about ...... distance Seven kilometers, done. Li Zhan reported.
Yang Jinshan quickly glanced at the radar data, and it took him more than 20 seconds to complete the calculation, and he gave a thumbs up and said, "His visual measurement is very accurate, it is seven kilometers." ”
But he found that Xue Xiangdong's expression was solemn and he didn't seem to hear his words, this is Yang Jinshan who suddenly reacted At this moment, Li Zhan is facing far more dangers than these, Li Zhan is the pillar of the 101st Brigade, and Xue Xiangdong has no intention of paying attention to other things before he lands safely.
Many people are imagining that if Li Zhan drives a new fighter, such as the J-11A, such as the J-11B, or even a slightly newer second-hand product, will these problems occur? The No. 01 SU-27SK, a fighter close to the end of its life, is generally only used to train new pilots in other units, and will not fly very far and will not do large overload maneuvers.
However, the 101st Brigade could not do this, and each of the sixteen SU-27 fighters had to undertake a certain intensity of training tasks, and most of them needed to participate in combat readiness duty. In the final analysis, it is because of poverty, or because of the equipment change fault caused by the lack of attention in the past.
COULD IT BE SAID THAT LI ZHAN WOULD AVOID THESE SITUATIONS BY CHANGING TO OTHER SU-27SK IN THE GROUP, WHICH IS COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS, BECAUSE THE REMAINING LIFE OF THE SU-27 FIGHTERS OF THE SECOND DIVISION TAKEN OVER BY THE FALCON BRIGADE IS BASICALLY THE SAME, AND OTHER FIGHTERS MAY NOT BE BETTER ABLE TO CARRY THAN THE NO. 01 SU-27SK.
Will the second division have such a problem, and the three hundred divisions will have such a problem? They have a large number of new fighters, one combat readiness, one training hangar, and one for big health care.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it will take time for the Western Tattered King to completely turn the situation around.
From the pilot's point of view, Li Zhan's brutal flight style is so brutal that he can do a supersonic speed at every turn to do a large overload maneuver of ten Gs, and the new aircraft may not be able to withstand it.
However, if he hadn't been so brutal, he would have failed in the aerial combat test in the past encounter, not the SU-30MKI that simulated the Red Army.
