A week later, a squadron arranged by the 75th Division for training, led by a 35-year-old lieutenant colonel pilot named Lu Younan, flew two J-10A and two J-11A to the Kat Field Station.

Along with this, there is also a 10 million training fund sponsored by Jiang Changhe.

The aircraft engine of the two J-10A is the AL-31FN with vector nozzles, which has obviously been replaced, not the previous version without vector nozzles, while the aircraft engine of the J-11A is the AL-31F.

The AL-31F aircraft engine was originally a special engine for the Su-27 series fighters of the twin launch bureaus, and in order to make it suitable for use in single-engine aircraft, the Rurika Design Bureau "Salyut" company introduced the AL-31FN modified engine of the AL-31F.

The J-10 series of single-engine fighters used to use the AL-31FN aero engine without a vector nozzle, until the fourth batch, China imported the AL-31FN aero engine with a vector nozzle version, part of which is used to produce new J-10 aircraft, and part of it is used to replace the Al-31FN aero engine without vector nozzle on J-10B and J-10S.

The 75th Division was fortunate enough to be assigned several aircraft engines with vector ports, all of which were replaced on the J-10A.

Yang Luo greeted the four pilots led by Lu Younan in the hangar, and after a few simple greetings, the four of them left directly.

For them, the CAT station is not unfamiliar, it is very familiar, and there is no need for Yang Luo to make arrangements.

Yang Luo stayed in the hangar and kept circling around the J-11A.

The J-11A is actually the Su-27, which is a fighter assembled from the domestic introduction of Su27 parts, with only a small number of domestic parts on it.

"The 75th Division should have picked up the rags." Yang Luo muttered in his mouth.

The livery of the two J-11As, although they look new and are clearly repainted, still look a little tattered.

"No, it must have been eliminated by other troops." Gou Quan, who was sharp-eared, heard Yang Luo's muttering, and said with a smile, "When the J-11A first came out, how many troops rushed to ask for it, how could it be the turn of the 75th Division." ”

The geographical location of the 75th Division is relatively awkward, facing the third brother, who is a typical poor soldier, but has not made much achievements.

Most of the fighters of the third brother are purchased from the West and Maozi, and the models are very chaotic, including Su-30, Mirage-2000, MiG-29, MiG-27, Rafale, etc., as well as its own Tejas fighters.

For a long time, the third brother has a fine tradition, and he will drop the plane to play when he is happy or not.

According to incomplete statistics, since the establishment of the Air Force by the third brother, more than 1000 aircraft have crashed, it is certain, it should be more than 1100, of which about 490 are MiG-21 fighters.

In the face of such an opponent, the fighters equipped with the 75th Division can be imagined, it is too good to be impossible, the latest and greatest fighters are on the coastal line; It's not too bad, after all, the third brother is still a bit of a threat.

In short, it is less than the above, and more than the bottom.

In contrast, although the equipment of the 31st Division is poor, and it is equipped with a large number of J-7G, it has never received the equipment that others have eliminated, and the fighters that have been replaced are all new aircraft, but the speed of the replacement has always been ranked behind.

"It's all old antiques, and they're almost going to be retired." Gently stroking the smooth fuselage of the J-11A, Yang Luo sighed.

"I don't know exactly what year this batch was produced, but it has been in service for more than ten years, and the service life should be running out." Gou Quan said, "Retirement is a matter of the past few years. ”

The J-11A has been in service since 2000, and was discontinued in 2003 when the J-10 was put into service, and even the last batch of J-11A has been in service for 14 years.

Because the J-11A uses components provided by Maozi, the life of the airframe is similar to that of the original Su-27, and it naturally inherits its weakness - the life of the airframe is relatively small, only 2000 hours of service life.

And this problem in the tire, Shen Hoy has been discovered since the introduction of the assembly of the Su-27SK in the 90s of the last century, and later when assembling the domestic J-11A, he deepened his understanding of the low life of its airframe.

The first J-11A delivered to the Air Force was in service in 2000, and in 2015, it almost entered the elimination period, which is why there have been no J-11A reports in recent years, only J-11B reports - because J-11A has all entered its twilight years and is being retired from active service one after another!

For the modernization of such an old machine, the gains outweigh the losses, and the same is true for extending its life with new materials and new technologies.

Because we have a better choice, the technology of the J-11B has matured, and even the J-11D is already in service (the J-11C is a carrier-based model and is still under development).

Shaking his head, Yang Luo shook off the cranky thoughts in his mind and said, "I hope they can hold on for half a year." ”

"I don't see a show." Gou Quan spread his hands and said, "With your training intensity, these two planes will definitely be finished by you." ”

"What do you mean by being finished by me, and it's not me who flies."

"Is there a difference? Flight training isn't up to you? You said you were going to fly for two hours today, do they dare to fly for an hour and fifty-nine minutes? Gou Quan said.

"They can, I don't blame them." Yang Luo said leisurely.

"I'm sorry, the devil will believe you."

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, they just believe it." Yang Luo paused for a moment, and then said, "Oh, by the way, you have to take care of the maintenance part for me, I don't have so much time." ”

The maintenance of the aircraft from Dongling Field Station was originally managed by Gou Quan, and Yang Luo actually referred to the maintenance personnel arranged by the 75th Division to ensure the maintenance personnel of the two J-11A and J-10A.

There are too many differences between the J-10A and the J-10C, and the maintenance team led by Gou Quan can only conduct a simple routine inspection of the J-10A, let alone the J-11A.

Besides, they can't be busy, and four J-10Cs are enough for them.

Therefore, the 75th Division arranged for a maintenance team to be stationed at the Kat Field Station, which arrived yesterday and was busy at this time.

"Is there any mistake, you let me take care of their maintenance, you didn't wake up." Gou Quan shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the maintenance staff at work.

"Questions?" Yang Luo frowned.

Gou Quan glanced at a lieutenant colonel officer who was commanding the maintenance work, and whispered, "A lieutenant colonel, he will listen to me, a major, you think too much." ”

"What's this, if he dares not to listen to you, you tell me, I will call their division commander directly and let him go." Yang Luo smiled, "You can rest assured and bold, I will communicate with him." ”

Now Jiang Changhe has a request for Yang Luo, as long as the person arranged by the 75th Division does not obey the management, Yang Luo can let him go back and forth at any time.

"Okay, I'll take care of it for you." Gou Quan thought for a while and said.

"Go ahead." Yang Luo waved his hand.

Before leaving the hangar, Yang Luo paced in front of the lieutenant colonel's maintenance, chatted with him for a few words, and asked him to listen to Gou Quan's arrangement.
