A 378

Facts once again proved Chen Beiming's judgment.

After this most difficult aircraft collision assessment, Chen Beiming suddenly gained prestige at the air base, and many pilots turned from looking at him unpleasantly to his admirers.

Therefore, a lot of the next work has been carried out a lot more smoothly.

After Chen Beiming trained for a day, some shots were ready to be taken.

Although he has a lot of experience in piloting, it is obvious that the air base will not allow him to fly into the sky with fighter planes in person, so many of the shots in the movie are shot under the green screen, Chen Beiming sits in a highly realistic simulation cabin to perform, the camera takes various shots, and then composes the background.

Of course, some realistic aerial combat footage is also required, but these shots are mainly done by high-speed cameras mounted on fighter jets or airplanes, and some shots are taken by photographers who take to the skies in a trainer or other aircraft.

Therefore, Chen Beiming still has some tasks, designing various flight actions, how to arrange the flight formation of the aircraft, how to fly each fighter, etc., these actions must be arranged in advance, and then handed over to the base leaders for deliberation, they feel that there is no problem, and then the task is assigned to the pilots below, and the pilots first practice, feel that there is no problem, and finally shoot.

Of course, not all shots are shot this way.

In this film, Chen Beiming plans to try animation technology for the first time, which is to use some 3D animation software to design the combat movements of some fighter jets, and then add them to the film.

Most of the shots of "Top Gun" are in the air, all on fighter jets, if these pictures are not good-looking, not thrilling, not exciting, not eye-opening, the audience will not buy it, although the audience enters the cinema with the original intention of seeing the style of Xia Guo's latest fighter jet, but one thing is obvious, they will not like to watch documentaries, if it is just 100% documentary, many viewers will definitely scold their mother, but the problem is that many tactical actions are not done by current pilots or are unwilling to do or cannot do, So, the only solution is to use animation technology and various computer editing techniques.

However, for now, Chen Beiming's most important task is to choreograph the movements first.

Chen Beiming found Deputy Political Commissar Liao Hongya: "Political Commissar, let me first tell you about the first air battle of my movie and the battle scenes I want to shoot, how about it?" ”

"Okay." Liao Hongya nodded, then put down the pen in his hand, and waited with great interest for Chen Beiming to speak.

"Commissar, my idea is this, at the beginning of the movie, I want to arrange an air combat exercise first."

Liao Hongya nodded again and motioned for Chen Beiming to continue.

"My design is like this, the red and blue armies carry out air combat exercises, and the Red Army sends a large number of fighter formations in accordance with the conventional air combat thinking, and they have completed the formation and are waiting for the blue army to attack."

Hearing this, Liao Hongya nodded again.

"But the Red Army waited and waited, and never waited for the attack of the Blue Army, so the commander of the Red Army gave an order and decided to send a reconnaissance plane out to reconnoiter and reconnoitre, and in order to protect the safety of the reconnaissance plane, the commander ordered two fighter planes to accompany the attack."

Liao Hongya nodded again, these are all conventional things, there is no problem, and besides, Chen Beiming did not make any mistakes.

"But-" Chen Beiming's words suddenly turned, Liao Hongya's eyelids jumped, and his body couldn't help but straighten.

But the Red Army never imagined that their annihilation would come. It's not that the Blues are too scared to come, the real reason is that the Blues are brewing an over-the-horizon air battle. ”

Over-the-horizon air combat?

Liao Hongya sat up straight, and her pupils contracted violently.

Chen Beiming was about to continue, but he immediately interrupted: "Comrade Chen Beiming, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute, what did you just say, super-world air combat?" What is Superworld Air Combat? ”

Chen Beiming corrected: "Political commissar, it's not super-world, it's over-the-horizon, over-the-horizon air combat!" ”

"What is over-the-horizon air combat?" Political Commissar Liao Hongya was confused.

The world does not yet have the concept of over-the-horizon air combat.

On Earth, the concept of over-the-horizon air combat actually did not appear until the Gulf War in 1991.

Prior to the 1991 Gulf War, air combat was mainly conducted within line-of-sight.

The distance of the field of view is generally believed to be 8 kilometers at a high altitude under a clear sky.

An air battle within 8 kilometers is a close air battle.

And air battles of more than 8 kilometers are called over-the-horizon air battles.

Military fans have a vivid analogy, close-range air combat is to watch and fight, over-the-horizon air combat is to fight when you can't see it!

Before the Gulf War, the main weapons of fighter jets were artillery, rockets, and some air-to-air missiles. The effective range of artillery and rockets is already limited, and the poor performance of sights further limits their range. So the air battles before this were all close air battles.

In this world, military technology and war theory are simultaneously lagging behind the earth.

So at this moment in 1996 there was no concept of over-the-horizon air combat.

However, technically speaking, the relevant over-the-horizon air combat technology is actually available, but no country has yet used it in air combat.

This is also the reason why Chen Beiming wants to mention such a concept in this movie, he wants to give Xia Guo's air force a wake-up call.

There is no doubt that with the development of science and technology and the improvement of the performance of various weapons, people will pay more attention to over-the-horizon air combat in future air combat, and over-the-horizon air combat will surely achieve greater and greater results. In order to be invincible in future wars, Xia Guo should not only study close-range air combat, but also pay attention to the new air combat mode of over-the-horizon air combat.

But at this moment, not to mention Liao Hongya, even experts who specialize in the study of the Air Force are afraid that no one has the concept of over-the-horizon air combat.

Therefore, Chen Beiming patiently explained to Liao Hongya: "Political commissar, the so-called over-the-horizon air combat is that the pilot starts to attack before he sees the enemy's plane. ”

"Attack before you see the enemy's planes?" Liao Hongya was stunned for a while.

"Yes." Chen Beiming nodded, and then explained in detail: "In conventional air combat, the best distance of air combat is within 8 kilometers, because only at this distance can the pilot observe the enemy's aircraft, and the performance of the weapon can also be brought into play, but with the development of military science and technology, especially the emergence of early warning aircraft, this situation will be changed immediately." ”
