Great Power Fighting Falcon

The No. 01 SU-27SK is still going strong. When it is full of fuel, it also carries four air-to-ground missiles weighing 0.6 tons each, which is almost approaching the load-bearing limit of the wing.

Under normal circumstances, fuel is rarely added to the wing fuel tanks. The front and rear fuel tanks of the fuselage alone can meet the range requirements of almost three thousand kilometers, and the combat radius exceeds one thousand kilometers. However, like tonight's long-distance live-fire training that requires responding to emergencies at any time, you must be fully fueled. The round trip is more than 2,000 kilometers. If something happens on the way, we may not have enough fuel to fly back.

For a distance of thousands of kilometers, only the Mi-171 with two auxiliary fuel tanks installed in the crew compartment can fly there and back again. Other main helicopters currently in service cannot do this.

An hour later, Li Zhan entered the mission airspace.

He was very familiar with this airspace. It was the first time that Qiye and Wu Zhen came in a two-plane formation to fire live ammunition at night. They shot it in the dark and the effect was pretty good. The second time was to fly the SU-27UBK in broad daylight, mainly Nie Jianfeng. It was a third-generation aircraft in broad daylight, and the shooting was even better.

This is the third time. It’s impossible not to be familiar with it. It’s a missile again. It’s impossible not to hit it well or not. He was just waiting for the four air-to-surface missiles to fight for his breath.

"Dong Yao calls Wu Zhi. I have arrived in the training airspace and request to start training. Code three one point three five. Repeat. Code three one one point three five. End." Li Zhan called the command post.

Wu Zhi was obviously confirming Li Zhan's specific location, and it took him a while to reply, "Received from Wu Zhi, Dong Yao can start training. Please contact the ground target area support team and adjust the handheld frequency to three, four, eight, and hook." , repeat, adjust the handheld frequency to three, four, eight, and hook, is it clear?"

"Contact the ground target area support team. Turn the handheld frequency from three to four to eight o'clock. The hole is clear. It's over." Li Zhan repeatedly confirmed Wu Zhi's instructions, and then used the satellite phone to connect Yuan Boning on the ground.

"Tiger, the falcon is in position, over." Although he was angry, Li Zhan would not bring any personal emotions during the mission and contacted Yuan Boning very calmly and calmly.

"Received, but I can't see you. You have to keep flying forward. I will give you a laser indication of the position. You have to launch the missile at the position indicated by me. It's over." Yuan Boning said.

Li Zhan frowned, "There is a mountainous area ahead. I'm not sure if I can see your laser signal or if there is a clearer direction. I can arrive there by myself according to the direction parameters. Over."

"I'll give you the latitude and longitude. Come over here." Yuan Boning didn't understand the operation of the fighter plane and thought the pilot could easily see the situation on the ground.

Soon, Li Zhan found the relative position of the target airspace based on the longitude and latitude reported by Yuan Boning, adjusted his course and maintained altitude to kill him. He also has a backup method, the GPS locator he carries with him is the last resort.

"Falcon, I see you." There was only one aircraft in the target airspace, so Yuan Boning was able to confirm that the fighter plane he saw was the No. 01 SU-27SK driven by Li Zhan.

He said, "Falcon, you can launch missiles at any time, my people are ready for laser guidance, over."

"Understood, two-shot burst, repeat, two-shot burst, over."

Yuan Boning saw the fighter plane overhead firing two air-to-ground missiles in succession, dragging long tail flames and galloping towards the target more than fifty kilometers away.

"Second two-round burst, repeat, second two-round burst."

Li Zhan launched the remaining two air-to-surface missiles again, and then he descended to a high altitude and escaped. The missile he launched at an altitude of three thousand meters had a distance of only fifty kilometers. This altitude was enough. If he wants to obtain the maximum range, he must launch at a higher altitude. These all have combat action standards.

The four missiles have preset target parameters, and continuous guidance is required to be accurate. Ground laser guided the missiles modified with new seekers, while Li Zhan used a tricky and more aggressive guidance method for the two original seekers - using the active radar signal of the new seeker as the passive signal source.

In other words, the original missile will follow the missile modified with the new seeker, flying wherever it goes, until the fuse is triggered and explodes...

The purpose of this is to verify whether the original missile really has the ability to actively and continuously correct and select the strongest one to attack based on the strength of the signal source.

Therefore, tonight’s target shooting performance is crucial.

In order to ensure safety, Li Zhan did not dare to turn on the airborne radar. Who knows if those old missiles will turn around and come back to kill the carrier aircraft. Even the so-called potential function of "automatic correction in the middle and rear stages to change the attack target, one of the greatest threats to attack" may be a false proposition - what if the seeker program actually causes an error due to aging?

"Tiger, when can we report the target? It's over." Li Zhan asked Yuan Boning.

He has enough fuel to stay in the air for a long time, but he is impatient to get the result. This should be regarded as the first missile firing of the "228" project. After all, the bombers and the others used different carrier aircraft, and not all conditions could match those of the fighter jets.

"Ten minutes or so, Falcon, if you fly forward and cross the border, it's over." Yuan Boning reminded.

Li Zhan was turning and said, "I know where the line is and I'm flying close to the line. It's over."

Yuan Boning smiled and said, "If you are really bored, how about I give you another simulated target and you play another round? Over."

"All four missiles have been fired. What can we use to shoot them? It's over." Li Zhan was tempted, but he had no ammunition.

"Just the cannon, fire a few dozen rounds at the ground, that's it." Yuan Boning said.

Li Zhan cheered up and continued to turn away from the sideline, saying, "Send the location information, over."

"The information is transmitted to your handheld terminal. The characteristics of the simulated target are very obvious, and there are conspicuous light indicators. I originally wanted to keep it for a while while I took my brothers to conduct a night mountain assault training, but now I see you are so boring. , I’ll let you use it for practice, it’s over.” Yuan Boning said with a look of pain.

Li Zhan sneered and said, "Don't do this. I even suspect that you asked me to use missiles to hit the outer fortifications. I kicked down the door for you so that you can rush in and kill the real target. This way, the main credit will be given to you." For you, I am just the one who announces the curtain, no, I am your nanny, you idiot, it’s over.”

"Hahahaha, we are still old friends if we see through it or not, Falcon. Just tell me, I keep the simple target for practice, you can hit it or not, it's over." Yuan Boning laughed.

"Fight, why don't you fight? It's not easy to conduct a live-fire training. I don't want to take a single shell back. It's over." Li Zhan said.

"The target location information has been sent. If you find it, please confirm with me. It's over." Yuan Boning said in a deep voice.

Li Zhan quickly determined the location of the target and found the relative direction and flew directly there. Yuan Boning contacted another team code-named Lao Lang who was operating near the target and asked them not to enter a dangerous distance. The Lao Lang team did not know what was going on and obeyed the order and stopped at the starting point of the attack, observing the target from a high position.

No. 01 SU-27SK passed through a canyon in the mountainous area. Li Zhanyi, a master of martial arts and bravery, used the airborne radar to conduct a low-altitude penetration flight in the mountainous area. He was more comfortable than flying the J-7. The SU-27 series fighters are a good opportunity for low-altitude penetration.

The officers and soldiers of Lao Lang's squad did not know that they had been forcibly assigned as target reporters. They were pondering the meaning of Yuan Boning's order when the roar of fighter planes sounded in the sky behind them. Then they saw the fighter plane with its left red and right green navigation lights flying slowly over their heads, almost grazing over their heads, and then its nose pointed diagonally downward at the target - a camping site consisting of several mud houses outside the cave at the foot of the mountain. land.

As long as the cannonball hits within 20 meters of the campground light, it will be considered excellent.

They were surprised to see the huge fighter jet calmly and calmly shooting at their training target, a simulated enemy camp target. Thirty-millimeter aerial artillery shells were fired with tracer bullets set every other round. A line of fire from the fighter plane appeared at low altitude at night, and the other end kept licking the location of the target.

Li Zhan even kept slightly adjusting the impact point while shooting, trying his best to cover the entire simulated enemy camp.

A total of 150 rounds of 30mm high-explosive bombs blew up the entire simulated small enemy camp. I don't know what burned up, lighting up half of the sky. Li Zhan pulled up and turned, observing the shooting effect by the firelight, and nodded with satisfaction.

The "target reporters" of Lao Lang's team were all dumbfounded. Where did this plane come from? Why are you hitting me? I'm masturbating!

This was not what Li Zhan had to worry about. He was in a much better mood and climbed up to a height of six thousand meters. When he was about to ask Yuan Boning again, good news came. Yuan Boning said briefly, "Falcon, the results are here. My target reporter is very excited. You hit all four shots, and two of them exploded from the front." It went into the hole and exploded, and more than half of the target was destroyed. It’s perfect. It’s finished.”

"Tiger, ask your people to give me detailed information, including but not limited to image data, as well as on-site damage effect image and photo data of the target area, etc. I want them all, the more detailed the better. Over." Li Zhan was excited. , said with emphasis.

Yuan Boning said awkwardly, "This matter is not easy to handle. It's over."

"Don't tell me that your target reporter didn't videotape the entire process. You agreed to this and you will treat me as if I haven't been here tonight. It's over." Li Zhan said.

"Is this true? It's over." Yuan Boning was tempted.

Li Zhan replied readily, "Seriously, it's over."

"Okay, it's settled. I wish you a smooth return!"
