Chapter 166 Formation low-altitude penetration
In the sunken sky, eleven J-10C fighters flew in three formations, whistling and flying at low altitude.
This is the fifth day that Yang Luo has returned to Dongling Station, and it is also the next flight training before the (chūn) festival, and from tomorrow, the whole group will be grounded in anticipation of the annual year-end summary and (chūn) festival.
Today's training subjects were formation low-altitude penetration and ground targeting, and each fighter carried two 90-millimeter rocket launchers, each equipped with seven rockets.
Because Xue Fei took marriage leave, he went back to his hometown on January 2nd, so there were only three people left in the first squadron, and their formation was in a zigzag shape, with Yang Luo in front and Xu Zhiqiang and Wang Hanyu in the back.
The formation penetrated at a low altitude and rushed to the airspace of the target area at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 1,000 meters.
The content of the last two subjects before the grounding is also a test of the achievements of the first brigade in refitting the J-10C in December, in other words, the two subjects are done well, which basically represents the modification results of individuals and a large team.
Of course, these two subjects are not only for the first team, but also for the second and third teams flying the J-7G, and for them, their results represent the results of their one-year training.
The three brigades stationed at Beitachang Station had already returned to Donglingchang Station at the end of December, but a brigade of the 121st Regiment returned to Beitachang Station the day after attending Xue Fei's wedding.
"A large group of aircraft, after reducing the altitude to 500 meters, each squadron is free to penetrate at a low altitude."
Ye Jianlong, who was piloting the No. 301 J-10C, observed the ground situation through the glass cockpit, and did not hesitate to give an order after the formation broke away from the airspace above the mass gathering area.
"XXX received." The voices of the three squadron leaders sounded in turn in the communication channel.
As Ye Jianlong's command sounded in the communication channel, Yang Luo had already slowly changed the angle of attack and lowered the height while slowly pressing the lever when responding.
The two J-10Cs behind the 301 J-10C followed Yang Luo's pace, gradually reducing their flight altitude in the form of a guaranteed formation.
Ten seconds later, the flight altitude of the group of three formations dropped to 500 meters.
"Attention 304, 305, continue to reduce the altitude to 300 meters." Yang Luo looked down at the condition on the ground, and then gave an order to increase the difficulty of the flight.
The flight altitude of 300 meters is not a high degree in the eyes of everyone who has received special training for low-altitude penetration, although for a fighter with a speed of up to 800 kilometers per hour, it only takes a little more than a second to hit the ground.
"304 received."
"305 received."
The noses of the three fighters pressed down and dive almost simultaneously, the angle of attack became smaller, and the flight altitude was slowly reduced.
If you are flying a single plane and want to descend to an altitude of 200 meters, you can dive directly at a large angle, and it can be completed in one or two seconds.
But formation flight can not do this, must maintain the integrity of the formation, can only take a small angle dive, more to use the angle of attack to become smaller, reduce the lift to reduce the altitude.
More than ten seconds later, the J-10Cs of the three finished zigzag formations were lowered to a flight altitude of 300 meters, and the ground was a vast plain, occasionally a small hillside with low heights, covered by unmelted snow, and white.
The snow in the Tohoku will not begin to melt until the New Year's Eve of the next year.
"304, 305, is there a problem? Do you want to continue lowering the height? Yang Luo asked with a smile, looking very relaxed.
As an instructor during special training, there is a plain below, and 300 meters is too small for pediatrics, if you dare to try to fly below the limit of ten meters alone.
"304 can continue to descend at high speed."
"305 can also continue."
Compared with Yang Luo, Xu Zhiqiang and Wang Hanyu were much more serious, staring at the ground in front of them with their eyes, and paying attention to the airspeed, altitude, heading and other information on the dashboard.
"Okay, keep descending altitude." After Yang Luo heard Xu Zhiqiang and Wang Hanyu's reply, he issued a new order.
The lower the altitude, the faster the speed, the more difficult it is to do (cāo), and the difficulty coefficient is growing in a geometric form, and now there is a factor to be added, flying in formation.
Yang Luo controlled the fighter plane's descent altitude, as if there was a sense of unity between man and machine, like an arm making a finger, and he didn't care about the invisible overload pressing on the (shēn).
Xu Zhiqiang and Wang Hanyu were breathing heavily, their faces were solemn, and they tried their best to control the fighter plane, constantly adjusting their flight attitudes.
Lower!
Keep lowering!
The two gritted their teeth and persevered.
"If you can't hold on, just say it, don't hold on, there's nothing to be ashamed of." Yang Luo reminded.
From the sound of breathing from the communication channel, Yang Luo judged that the two of them were almost to the limit, after all, it was a low-altitude breakthrough of a formation flight, not a low-altitude penetration of a single aircraft.
The flight altitude of the three fighters was quickly reduced to less than 200 meters, and neither of them said a word, still holding on.
The J-10C of the other two formations is also doing the same thing as Yang Luo and them, they are gradually reducing the flight altitude and carrying out low-altitude penetration in the formation, and their altitude has also dropped to about 200 meters.
After nearly a month of special training on low-altitude penetration, the 122nd Regiment and even the entire 31st Division have made great progress in their low-altitude penetration.
In the past, the formation could not fly at an altitude of 200 meters at low altitude, and only dared to fly up and down at about 350 meters.
As the height decreases, so does the difficulty of (cāo).
"Report, 305 has reached its limit."
In the first squadron, Wang Hanyu was the first to be unable to bear it, his breathing was already very short, his face was red, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he had to report out loud to maintain the current altitude and speed to fly.
"Maintain the current altitude and speed and fly to the airspace of the target area." Yang Luo calmly gave instructions, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, what he was most afraid of was that the two of them would hold on.
The height is 165 meters, and the airspeed is 800 km / h.
Looking at the ground covered in white almost within reach, Yang Luo glanced at the dashboard and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, it is not easy for the formation to have this level of low-altitude penetration, after all, the level is high and low.
Maintaining their current altitude and speed, three warplanes roared past the low altitude, the earth-shattering sound of the aero engines resounded over the ground, and the beasts that came out to forage for food were frightened, running around without a head, and even plunged headlong into the snow, (pì) strands still raised high.
"301, it's not going to work so soon, I don't want your style!" In the communication channel, Ye Jianlong's ridiculous voice sounded.
Yang Luo looked at the formation where Ye Jianlong's 302 J-10C was located, and saw that the four-plane formation led by 302 was still continuing to descend in altitude, and the visual altitude had broken 150 meters.
"302, if you have the ability to wait for the target shooting, we will break through at low altitude in two groups and one formation, and see who can't do it first." Yang Luo said angrily.
In one sentence, Ye Jianlong was speechless, and Yang Luobi broke through at a low altitude, which was a lantern in the toilet - looking for death.
"302, why don't you speak?" I haven't heard Ye Jianlong reply for a long time, Yang Luo sighed: "I'm afraid, hey, man, I can't say no." ”
As soon as Yang Luo's words came out, a lot of chuckles suddenly sounded in the communication channel.
"You cow, you're amazing, I'm afraid of you, okay." Ye Jianlong said with a dark face, he was very unhappy to be squeezed by Yang Luo, the problem is that he is self-aware, his low-altitude penetration is still taught by Yang Luo, he is really not as good as Yang Luo, and it is humiliating to try it.
In the 122nd Regiment, and even the 31st Division, there is no stronger than Yang Luo in terms of low-altitude penetration, even if the scope is expanded to the entire aviation unit, Ye Jianlong believes that there are not many who can compare with Yang Luo, and there are only a handful.
