Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 368 Professional and technical personnel

The cooking class delivered a simple meal to the flight briefing room. A small table was placed in front of each person's seat. The next batch of pilots who conducted live-fire shooting sat down and chatted softly about their experiences while eating.

It was only after six o'clock and far from breakfast time. Except for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the rest of the meals were called simple meals. It was a special treatment for pilots as a special branch. The purpose was to ensure that pilots could have plenty of food every time they flew. physical strength.

Li Zhan has to shoot all day long, so he basically has to live in the flight briefing room today. The next batch of live ammunition shooters were the people from the Second Brigade. They greeted Li Zhan with a smile, and some even said that today's pre-dinner meal tasted good.

After putting away his flight helmet and taking off his white labor protection gloves and hanging them in his personal equipment cabinet, Li Zhan turned around and said with a smile, "The skills of our cooking squad leader cannot be overemphasized. You are in for a treat today."

Today, a large team of cooking squads are responsible for providing food for live-fire training. The nicknames of the professional and technical personnel in the cooking class of the Falcon Brigade have long become a joke throughout the brigade. In the past, Li Zhan flew at supersonic speed at low altitude and shocked the common people's chickens to death. After the common people came to the door, Xue Xiangdong asked someone from the chemical prevention department to deal with it. As a result, a large group of cooking teams came. Later, in order to verify whether poultry such as chickens and ducks could be killed by supersonic speed at low altitude, Li Zhan conducted another experiment to prove that it could indeed kill chickens. Pei Lei, who acted as a ground target reporter, took the chickens that were killed by the shock. The duck was sent to the cooking team to be processed and served on a small stove. Li Zhan asked him how to deal with it and he said that it was left to professional technicians...

The joke about a large team of "chemical defense teams" and "professional technicians" in the cooking class spread like this.

But let’s not talk about the skills of a large team of cooking classes, especially the cooking class leader Mo Fangyan. His cooking skills are better than those who graduated from the Chinese Culinary Training School. His ability to turn decay into magic is often amazing. .

Every time the superior commander came down to inspect the brigade headquarters restaurant, he would transfer the old noncommissioned officer to take charge of the dishes.

Before I sat down and took two bites, Niu Jun came over.

Seeing Li Zhan go out in a hurry, the pilots of the second group began to gossip in low voices. One person said that Captain Li was blessed with a beautiful hug, another person said that Counselor Niu was just an alumnus of Captain Li, and another commented that senior sister Zhu Qingying seemed to be more feminine. Of course, there were also those who liked the fresh sister Wanjun. This little girl is the best candidate to start a family.

Laughing and gossiping helped to ease the tension before the live fire. Of course, today's live-fire training is a very important thing for the new pilots. This is also their first brigade-scale live-fire training since they flew solo. As long as it is an organizational-scale training, it must be divided into separate areas. Two, three, four, the pressure is great.

Outside, the sky was still as dark as ink.

Li Zhan said, "You came just in time to tell me the details of the shooting. You can't complete the attack mission with just a few keystrokes, right?"

Niu Jun said, "Brother, what age is this? Technology is advancing by leaps and bounds. You can really destroy a target with just a few keystrokes."

She said excitedly, "This is my first time to perform such a task. It feels very exciting."

Li Zhan was stunned at first and then helpless, "The ruthlessness of intellectuals is more terrifying than those of us who fly on the edge of the cliff every day."

"What's wrong? Obeying orders is a bounden duty. Revolutionary soldiers are not divided into different positions. Besides, there is no rule that technicians cannot annihilate the enemy." Niu Jun twisted his body and said.

Li Zhan looked at the red lips and rosy cheeks and really wanted to take a bite, but he easily used reason to overcome his animal nature and said, "Yes, from now on you will rule the world with technology."

This is not without irony.

Unexpectedly, Niu Jun said seriously, "It's really possible."

After she explained the operation of the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center from beginning to end, she said, "Replace the off-zone joint attack munitions with attack drones. There are signal relays in the air and control stations on the ground. They are cruising in the air and on standby. The attack response speed is much faster than traditional air strikes."

"The U.S. military has already had such capabilities. This is not new." Li Zhan nodded slightly. "This is of course a future development direction. Our drones are also developing well. The starting point is very high, and we may catch up from behind."

Niu Jun said seriously, "Then have you ever thought about who is needed to control a drone? UAVs are different from stand-off joint attack munitions. The former involves a lot of flight expertise. If we were to fight drones today, I definitely couldn't handle it. There's no question that pilots are the best drone operators."

Suddenly stunned, Li Zhan suddenly felt that his eyes were open.

Yes, the army's drones are used to fight, and they must not only possess professional skills but also have qualified military and tactical qualities. It is obviously beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. The best person to fly an airplane is the pilot, whether it is a manned aircraft or a drone. From another perspective, isn’t a drone just a manned aircraft with a cockpit on the ground?

The real meaning of Niu Jun's solemn reminder to Li Zhan is to point out another path for future air force pilots - to control drones. Judging from the specific national conditions, it will take a long time to establish a unique system for training drone operators. In the short term, our military’s drone operators, especially large drones, must be selected from the pilot group. .

After figuring this out, Li Zhan began to worry about gains and losses. Is a pilot who can't fly still called a pilot? But from another perspective, for pilots who have reached their age or have been grounded due to injury, being a drone operator is not a flight-related job option.

"Zhang Zhang has this idea. It is estimated that he will submit a report soon and hopes to equip some drones." Niu Jun said.

Li Zhan frowned slightly, "Project 228 is over, and the scientific research funds were allocated for the last time last month. I'm afraid it will be difficult to realize his idea."

"You have to give it a try. Brother, don't forget that the Beikou Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center can only cover the Beikou area. That is to say, today's strike method of pointing where to hit cannot be achieved without the Beikou area. However, If there are high-altitude drones as signal relay stations, the scope of action can be expanded." Niu Jun pointed out a direction that Li Zhan was reluctant to give up.

Li Zhan said to himself, "Yeah, it doesn't make much sense to be limited to the Beikku area. If there are large drones forming an air communication network, it will be no problem to establish a mobile intelligence exchange system, right?"

"Theoretically, it is feasible, provided that there are Beidou satellites transiting the border. It is difficult to achieve by relying on synchronous satellites alone." Niu Jun said.

Look, these are serious professional technicians.

Li Zhan thought about it, even if the hope was small, why not vigorously promote the development of the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center before leaving.
