Most of the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level have no way of knowing what the air division is planning, but they can get a glimpse of the leopard from some changes in daily training. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

The No. 16 project had already begun long before there was any news about the fourth-generation aircraft, and the Air Force had high hopes for the aircraft, and even hoped that the aircraft would play a greater role in the future to a certain extent than HNA.

The J-10 can be used for front-line battlefield support, and after the multi-purpose of this series of fighters, because of its lower cost, it is the best choice for front-line battlefield support. However, in terms of long-range ground strikes and opening air passages without air supremacy, it is difficult for the single-engine J-10 to meet the requirements of the Air Force.

The J-30, derived from the Su-16MKK, became the most ideal choice for the Air Force.

In the transformation of the Air Force to both offensive and defensive capabilities, the J-16 fighter-bomber is of great significance in the Air Force's efforts to build an offensive defensive combat system, and the aircraft is an important support point for the above-mentioned combat system. If the combat system is compared to a boxer, then the machine is a fist.

In order to thoroughly understand the technology of the Su-30MKK and build a new fighter-bomber that is more suitable for the specific situation of our Air Force on this basis, the Shenfei Factory has endured hardships and spent more than ten years to get to this point, and the Air Force and Navy do not hesitate to increase investment in the project every year, which is enough to prove the importance of this fighter that is not very interesting to the people compared with the fourth-generation aircraft.

The ground-to-air missile unit codenamed "Birdcatcher," which has a maximum combat range of 150 kilometers, is in full array, and the ribbon air defense network composed of two "Patriot 2" ground-to-air missile fixed positions and two "Tiangong 3" mobile ground-to-air missile battalions has been opened, waiting for the "Test 16" to carry out a possible moth to the fire.

Li Zhan's first target was the Tactical Intelligence Center, the central nerve of the "bird trap".

The goal is to command and coordinate the brains of each launch unit, and to disable its air defense system by knocking it out.

The requirements of the confrontation drill were that Li Zhan must break through and advance to within 50 kilometers to simulate the launch of a definite ground strike munition. This is only the first step, after accomplishing this combat objective, Li Zhan will leave the battlefield and re-enter to continue the next confrontation drill -- striking the ground-to-air missile positions and chasing and killing the mobile launch unit.

It was not possible to complete this confrontation drill in two or three hours, and it was no easier than a long-distance flight during the day. Therefore, Li Zhan and Chen Fei deliberately brought some chocolates so that they could replenish their physical strength at the right time.

What followed was a bitter battle.

This kind of repeated confrontation drill is also rare, and even earlier it was unimaginable to many people, including the masses of the people who are concerned about the building of the air force.

"It looks like you're at Lake Farm Station in front." Li Zhan turned his head to look, the weather was very good, there were no clouds in the airspace layer for several kilometers, and looking down from the cockpit, he could clearly see some details under the ground lights, and Li Zhan could even distinguish the cars on the road.

Chen Fei glanced down at the chart and said, "Yes, fifteen kilometers in the direction of ten o'clock, the battle report said that they also have night flight training activities tonight, in the northeast direction of our mission airspace." ”

"Well, when the confrontation is over, if you still have oil, you can coordinate with them." Li Zhan said.

Chen Fei smiled and said, "If everything goes well, it will definitely be enough." ”

In the case of half fuel, the J-16 can continue to fly for 3,000 kilometers, because of the use of new domestic engines and improved aerodynamic layout, etc., it can fly three or four hundred kilometers more than the Su-30MKK with the same amount of fuel.

The airspace from the Zhongnan station to the southeast mission is only about 1,000 kilometers, and there is no problem at all.

However, if the confrontation drill is delayed, the amount of fuel will definitely not be superfluous.

It was a busy night of flying activity over the southeast coast. In the early hours of the morning, except for sporadic international flights, the navy and air force units were invariably conducting night training during busy times.

Li Zhan received the task book, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's do it!" Fu refers to Fu Zhi, night attack on the widow's village confrontation drill, repeat, night attack on the widow's village confrontation drill, task code two-two-three-two ”

Fu Zhi quickly replied, "Wuyi Mountain, the night attack on the widow's village confrontation drill confirmed, a type of communication confirmed, keep in touch, over." ”

"Stay in touch, understood!"

Li Zhan switched the communication channel, used a type of band, and officially entered the state of simulated confrontation.

Chen Fei suddenly felt the nose of the fighter plane fall sharply, and the fighter began to dive down to a height. Li Zhan's driving style is always so fierce and rough, and what can be done in a minute will definitely not take even a second more.

At the same time, the birdcatcher ground-to-air missile unit pressed the start button, and all combat units quickly took action, and the early warning radar rotated without stopping, constantly scanning the airspace within 300 kilometers to the west, and at the same time constantly transmitting the relevant data parameters to the combat command center, which commanded and distributed the targets, and then the launch unit struck at the specified targets. However, what did not surprise them was that they did not have a target signal codenamed "Wuyi Mountain" except for the signals of the fighters of the 300th Division conducting routine night training in the airspace to the northwest.

Two J-10A fighters belonging to the HNA that simulated the F-16A/B Brock 20 fighter jets patrolled the air, acting as a background for the enemy situation, simulating the blue forces that had air supremacy. Li Zhan had to rush to a position fifty kilometers away from the target under their noses, and then he had to complete the attack procedure within a minute.

Winning or losing is not the most important thing, but to test the actual performance of the J-16 in this process, find problems and solve them, and change the imperfections to perfection, which is the true meaning of actual combat test flights.

In fact, the relevant personnel did not really realize the true significance of this actual combat test flight during the daytime confrontation drill, including Li Zhan, who was also bent on winning the battle and fighting coolly. As soon as the adrenaline came up, not to mention that it was a new third-generation aircraft, even if he drove the J-6 Plus, it was estimated that it would crash into the deck of the carrier carrier of the Blue Task Force.

It is still a low-altitude penetration, but this time the difficulty may be the greatest in history - the 1616 J-16 fighter has to fly over the entire urban agglomeration in the southeast coastal region, and it must be at a very low altitude, otherwise it will not be able to pass the level of the enemy background.

Flying at ultra-low altitude over urban agglomerations with dense buildings, and at ultra-low altitude, it is in the dark early hours of the morning, and more importantly, they are densely populated areas, and the pilots can't easily get up.

It's more stressful than crossing the North Reservoir Canyon.

When he visited the 300th Division in the past, Li Zhan drove the J-7G to conduct an ultra-low-altitude flight through the urban agglomeration, but it was broad daylight, and it was a very mature fighter, and it was still the fighter that Li Zhan was most familiar with, so it was handy.

Li Zhan already felt that the flight control system of the 1616 J-16 was not smooth, so he was not very confident in whether he could complete some difficult flights. This is also one of the risks of test flights.

PS: Everyone is very powerful, and the classified monthly ticket list has rushed to the third, so make persistent efforts and go further. I will write until the early hours of the morning, more or less, and the brothers can read it when they get up tomorrow morning.
