Shigatse is a prefecture-level city in the Tibet Autonomous Region, in the southwest of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, located in the southwest border of China, bordering Nepal, Bhutan and India and other countries, the terrain is complex and diverse, basically composed of high mountains, wide valleys and lake basins, the average altitude is more than 4,000 meters, the world's highest peak Mount Everest is on the border between Shigatse and Nepal, in addition to Karula, Majela and many other high mountains, this is really a very beautiful place.

The beauty of Tibet is a kind of magnificent, but extraordinarily detailed and pure beauty. This pure land, just looking at the photos can not really understand, only to go to Tibet in person, with their own skin to feel the wind of Tibet, with their own feet to measure the vast land, with their own hands to hold the snow in the stream, and then with their own eyes to observe the world over there, perhaps, can feel some harmony that only belongs to themselves and that piece of nature.

Because Tibet is located on a plateau, the air is thin, and the climate is harsh, and there are considerable requirements for the maintenance and use of precision weapons such as aircraft; for a long time, in fact, Tibet has not had a permanent flight combat unit of the air force except for the ground troops, but it has never relaxed its efforts in the construction of airports and other important strategic facilities; after 2000, in order to ensure its combat capability with the Indian army, the government began to strengthen its military deployment in Tibet, including the multi-service mixed base in Shigatse.

The vigorous construction of the Shigatse synthetic base, including the entry of the J-10 and J-11, is actually a very serious threat to India. Because the distance from the border to New Delhi, India, is not even 500 kilometers, that is, if you exclude other interference, only talk about speed, at a speed of Mach 1, it only takes half an hour for Chinese planes to fly over New Delhi, the capital of India. What's more, there are missile units of the Second Artillery Corps in the Shigatse mixed base, which is simply uncomfortable for India.

By vigorously purchasing advanced weapons and equipment from the East and the West, India is actually using China as an imaginary enemy in an attempt to deter China in terms of military superiority, including the Su-30MKI, which has been almost blown to the sky.

Why do you want to say that the Su-30MKI is blown to the sky? This is obviously a very advanced heavy fighter, especially India's unique, more inclined to air dominance of the three-wing Su-30MKI, but also equipped with vector nozzles, passive phased array radar, etc., just from the data, it is undoubtedly a very advanced third-generation fighter.

However, because of India's miserable digestion ability, and because many technologies were not mature enough in the actual sense at that time, the Indian Air Force, which was purchased without considering whether it had the ability to digest, could only bear the embarrassment of the Su-30MKI being completely grounded from time to time due to failures.

For example, the thrust vector nozzle of the Su-30MKI, the Russian manual stated that the life span reached 250 hours, and later after Russian improvement, the life was tripled to 500 hours. But the fact that the Indian Su-30MKI had to be replaced after every 20 hours of flight was simply a lingering nightmare for ground crews.

What's even funnier is that the Su-30 was originally used as a heavy fighter-bomber, but after it ran to India, it became an air superiority fighter that favored air combat, and India did not even equip the Su-30MKI with precision-guided air-to-ground weapons. When the Su-30MKI bomb photo appeared, in addition to the R73 infrared missile and the R77 medium-range air-to-air missile, you can also see the Su-30MKI under the wing of the uncontrolled rockets and conventional bombs.

What is the rhythm of this? Western military observers were collectively dumbfounded, and the Russian side explained this: "Maybe our Indian friends forgot to pay for the weapons while purchasing the planes, or maybe they forgot that the planes still have this capability, anyway, this is not the first time we have encountered this kind of thing." ”

The strange Indian Asans have once again entertained the world, perhaps this is the same as the number given to the Su-30MKI by the Eagle squadron of the Indian Air Force, starting from SB001, all Su-30MKI will be under the name of SB until they are retired from the Indian Air Force.

In this military conflict on the Sino-Indian border, India's six Su-30MKI not only did not have a record of shooting down, but were all shot down, and India, which vigorously advocated that the Su-30MKI was a third-and-a-half-generation fighter second only to the F22, could not hold on to its face, and began to continue to yell at the international community about the shooting down of the J-20, in fact, this really attracted the attention of many media. After all, for the Su-30MKI, which almost everyone knows, the mystery of the J-20 is something that is more interesting.

However, these are the things of the next few days, and it is impossible for Xia Yu, who has just rested and is going to check the plane with Hongqi 2 and Hongqi 3.

Tibet, this pure land on earth, in fact, Xia Yu has thought about coming to Tibet for a long time, and the original plan was to use a month to ride and hike to Tibet after graduating from high school, but because of the reason of recruiting flying, Xia Yu was not able to make the trip. I didn't expect to come this time because of the mission.

However, this kind of process-like process of watching flowers and flowers can't experience the kind of hard work that Xia Yu wants, let alone integrating into nature, not to mention that it was night when he came, and he was still flying in the sky, and he didn't see anything at all. Especially now that he is still on standby, he doesn't have the time to let Xia Yu go out and have that leisure. With a kick of the accelerator to the edge of the hangar, Xia Yu and the three jumped out of the car and walked to the hangar where their planes were parked.

The ground crew helped open the door of the hangar, Xia Yu saw at a glance that his car was quietly parked there, and the J-20, which was checked until the early hours of the morning, had been restored to its original state at this moment, and the pitch-black paint remained intact after the fierce flight last night, which is actually very important, because the black and gray paint is actually a stealth material.

"Colonel, your plane is already full of fuel." A ground crew member came to Xia Yu with a record sheet and said, "But the weapon hasn't been hung up yet, we need to ask for your opinion." ”

Xia Yu nodded, glanced at the J-20, thought for a while and said: "Six Thunderbolt 12s are hung in the main magazine, and Thunderbolt 10 is hung in the side magazine." ”

"Okay, please sign this." The ground staff nodded, and then handed the record sheet to Xia Yu. Xia Yu took it and signed his newly changed codename, and then prepared to climb into the cockpit to inspect the plane's onboard systems. Yesterday, I just checked the hardware facilities of the fuselage, and I haven't checked the avionics flight control, etc., although there will be no problems, but without careful inspection, Xia Yu still can't drive the plane into the sky at will, plus last night also experienced such a fierce flight, although they are all within the design requirements, but it will be better to be careful in everything, for example, Xia Yu is in the side magazine this time, and he hung a close-range combat bomb.

The reason for this choice is because of last night's battle, if it was equipped with an infrared-guided Thunderbolt-10 early in the morning, Xia Yu would have been able to launch missiles as early as when he was chasing in the canyon, instead of having to chase out of the canyon to have a chance to lock and launch, after all, the time for the infrared combat bomb to launch an attack is much faster than that of a medium-range radar-guided missile.

And this time it was determined that India still has a T50 fighter, considering that the stealth fighters have a short detection distance between each other, so it is necessary and necessary to be equipped with combat missiles, otherwise once they fall into a close-range air fight, Xia Yu can only use a cannon to fight the other party, which is not a wise choice.
