He has been in the military for eight years, a military academy for four years, a training base for one year, and has been in the second division for more than half a year, with two first-class merits and a second-class merit, and it is very likely that another first-class merit will be recorded at the end of the year.

With such conditions, it is not abrupt to be promoted to the deputy battalion level in advance.

However, when he received the appointment, Li Zhan was still quite surprised, after all, it had only been more than half a year since he left the army. Nie Jianfeng was even more surprised than him, normally it would take him at least two years to get promoted. There is no way to compare him with Chen Fei, he has done a second-class merit, and the squadron leader is directly promoted to captain.

Therefore, Nie Jianfeng was overjoyed. Although he is an instructor, his position does not sound as domineering as a squadron leader, but his rank has gone up, and he is at the rank of deputy battalion, and he is naturally promoted to the rank of major. The promotion of military ranks is related to the length of service, and the phenomenon of exceptional promotion rarely occurs in the middle and lower ranks of officers.

Nie Jianfeng knew that all this was because of Li Zhan. Thinking about it this way, it is beneficial to partner with Li Zhan, but the risk factor is slightly greater.

In the simulator training room, Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng were talking in a low voice, waiting for the instructor to arrive. The plane hadn't arrived yet, so they had half a month to train on the simulator. Before the arrival of the J-8, they will train with the J-8 of the fifth regiment.

When the instructor came, Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng were dumbfounded, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Qin Dahao!"

It turned out that the instructor was Qin Ming, probably the one who could use the most aircraft types in the second division, but unfortunately because of physical problems, he had been transferred to ground support and was in charge of film interpretation. It is foreseeable that his current job will be lost with the withdrawal of the J-7 series fighters from the service sequence of the Second Division.

Other fighters don't have film to read.

The back waves of the Yangtze River cover the front waves, isn't it the reason why the teacher Zhang Sihai retired and changed jobs instead of turning to ground crew?

It can't keep up with the pace of the times, so make room.

Letting Qin Ming come to them as a teacher fully reflects the importance that the division attaches to this modification work. Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng are not novices for a long time, and the J-8 is developed on the basis of the J-7, to put it bluntly, it is an elongated twin-engine version of the J-7, the high-altitude and high-speed performance is stronger, and the low-altitude and low-speed performance is more rubbish.

In addition to the J-8, the main fighters in the Air Force are two-seaters. The main role of the two-seater type is to train pilots, both fighters and trainers. The most fundamental reason why the J-8 does not have a two-seater type is that there is no demand for this, because the J-7 is already fully capable of pre-training work.

In other words, pilots who have successfully flown solo after receiving training from the J-7 high-level education aircraft already have the ability to directly get started with the J-8.

In other words, Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng can drive the J-8, just like changing a car, familiar with the actual performance and temper of the car, and grasp its advantages and disadvantages, such as braking distance, acceleration time, etc. The J-8F is a reconnaissance modification on the basis of the latest J-8F in service, equipped with a variety of reconnaissance instruments, and canceled the cannon and other unnecessary air combat systems. The J-8F itself has strengthened its ground-to-sea strike capability on the basis of the D-type, and the HNA is equipped with a lot.

Fang Chenghe mentioned the concept of integrated reconnaissance and combat because the Jian-8F has a not weak ability to strike at ground and sea, but it still focuses on battlefield tactical reconnaissance, and mainly relies on electronic and photographic reconnaissance. If you have to make an analogy, the J-8F is an armored reconnaissance vehicle in the ground armored unit of the army, which does specific things on the battlefield, and is not the same thing as a reconnaissance plane modified from a transport plane as a platform.

After theoretical study, Li Zhan found that the modification of the J-8F was not a difficult result to accept, because he slowly found the cuteness of the J-8F developed from the "air scum man", and also saw his very sharp side - high-altitude and high-speed, flying higher and faster than the J-7.

Qin Ming's expression was as serious as ever, and he said straight to the point, "I'm not a newcomer anymore, let's get straight to the point." Get on the simulator for 10 minutes, and then assemble in the flight area for 10 minutes to get on the plane for skiing training. ”

Absolutely crisp and clean.

Li Zhan likes this taste, no matter how much he talks, it can't be effective in actual operation, just talking about not practicing fake tricks. He and Nie Jianfeng climbed onto the cockpit simulator and took turns to get familiar with the operation of the J-8D. It would be easy for them to spend a few days memorizing the various steps, and the theoretical basis was not a problem at all. Otherwise, the Air Force pilots are at every turn, this famous university, that famous university.

"The scumbag in the air is really old and not decaying, how many years, developed in 1969, finalized in 1979, equipped the troops the next year, and now it's been almost 30 years, older than me. It is an outdated model in itself, and it is a model that has been tossed by the military industry into a style that can still play a role until now. ”

Pushing the accelerator and putting the brakes, Li Zhan experienced the feeling of the cockpit, while half-complaining and half-praising Nie Jianfeng who was standing beside him.

Nie Jianfeng said, "The world's last second-generation aircraft, the combat thinking at that time has not changed, and it was originally developed for emergency project approval. As a result, when I looked at it later, the plane was lagging behind before it was equipped with troops. There is no way, I can only keep changing and changing, the tactical indicators of the troops have been changing, and the manufacturers have been changing. can be changed to a D-shaped appearance, it can be said that Shen Fei Factory is also very good. ”

The early model of the J-8 is really an elongated twin-engine version of the J-7, the fuselage is stretched and widened, and two engines are crammed in, this is the J-8.

From the second type, the nose air intake was changed to a side air intake, and the engine with a larger thrust was replaced, which improved the maneuverability at medium and low altitudes, which also freed up space in the nose, which could be crammed into a larger radar, and the fire control system was further improved. The common J-8 is mainly a model after the second type.

The early models can be described as sucking.

From the beginning of the project to the first flight, two chief engineers died, one died of illness, and the other died because of a plane crash. Finally, the first flight was carried out, but when the static destruction test was carried out, the fuselage was broken before 100% of the design load was loaded, and the fuselage was broken, such as transonic shaking and double-engine air parking, which came one after another, and it took seven or eight years to finally solve all the problems.

As a result, when I opened my eyes, the whole design idea was backward, so I continued to change it, and came out with the second type and a variety of subsequent models. Slowly, the air scumbag turned into a beautiful man in the air, dominating the equipment sequence of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation for 30 years.

Before the introduction of the SU-27, the J-8 was the most advanced fighter in the Chinese Air Forces!

"Team Nie, I always feel that our equipment will be updated faster than I imagined." Li Zhanfei took off and fell, got up and handed over the position to Nie Jianfeng, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Using the Eighth Master to change the tactical reconnaissance aircraft was unimaginable before, but now it is not only used to change, but also to produce improved models, I have asked, Shen Fei Factory is still producing." ”

It was impossible to use the J-8 to be converted into a tactical reconnaissance aircraft in the past, because of its preciousness, and how could it be changed to a tactical reconnaissance aircraft if the fighters were not enough. What is the tactical reconnaissance plane for, that is, the cannon fodder rushing in front, and the army scouts have the same meaning, before the large troops start to work, they first go to the enemy's pile to feel the situation, the danger factor can be imagined, and when the fight starts, they have to brave the artillery fire to pierce the enemy's formation, the same high risk factor. The reason why the training of army scouts is much stricter than that of ordinary infantry units is that their battlefield survival conditions are extremely poor.

In the past, the Air Force used the J-6 as a tactical reconnaissance aircraft.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the eight masters have taken a back seat as territorial air defense aircraft and tactical reconnaissance aircraft, and there must be more and more third-generation aircraft equipped with troops.

"This is a good thing, the division agreed, J-11 is in place, let's also participate in the modification together, so that we can also fly the three main models, be generous!"

Nie Jianfeng simply pulled the lever, and the fighter raised its head and pierced the blue sky.
