Great Power Fighting Falcon

The service support force deployed more than a dozen moving targets on the vast sea surface, and used five or six scrapped iron fishing boats weighing 180 tons to simulate surface vessels. They worked hard.

There are three targets assigned to Li Zhan, and the rest must be left until night for night live-fire training. Li Zhan must find the designated three from more than a dozen moving targets on the sea, and only one of the three targets is a 100-ton target. The iron scrapped fishing boat, the other two are very small targets, and the difficulty can be said to be quite high.

Moreover, Li Zhan had to search from east to west, which meant that he needed to search the sea surface in a backlight environment. This is a requirement and Li Zhan cannot make any changes.

The time reached 16:30 in the afternoon, and it had been in the air for an hour. Fortunately, three auxiliary fuel tanks were mounted, otherwise there would not be much fuel left for Li Zhan. The advantages of long-range fighters were highlighted at this time. Yu Chenglin's J-11BS didn't have to worry about fuel consumption at all.

The tower commander gave Li Zhan instructions to conduct live-fire training at the specified time according to the live-fire plan.

Li Zhan immediately turned on the airborne radar and tilted the nose of the aircraft downward at a very small angle from an altitude of 5,000 meters. This can improve the accuracy of the airborne radar in searching the sea. The sea search function of the airborne radar used by the J-10A is not as good as that of the J-10B, and the gap is relatively large. During the use, Li Zhan discovered that if the airborne radar is searched for the sea in a low-angle and slow-speed dive attitude, the sea search accuracy of the airborne radar can be improved.

This little trick was promoted in the troops he worked in. Li Zhan did this when he flew the old flying leopard. The effect was good, but the shortcomings were also obvious. This limited the flight attitude of the fighter plane.

Yu Chenglin was keenly aware of the small changes in the movements of No. 17 J-10A, secretly noted them down, and at the same time paid close attention to the search process of No. 17 J-10A. He knew that Li Zhan must have done this on purpose, but he did not think about improving the accuracy of the airborne radar's sea search. Instead, he thought that Li Zhan was very confident and had prepared dive shots in advance during the search. Prepare.

Li Zhan is not a god. He also has shortcomings. For example, the time he has used the J-10 series fighters is relatively short. His J-10 series fighter jets have only a few dozen flight hours. This was when he was in the Dahongying Division. It was accumulated during the J-10A modification training.

So he had no idea what the outcome would be.

Another important reason is that the J-10 is his dream fighter. His motivation to join the army was the first flight of the J-10. What he wanted to fly most after graduating from aviation school was the J-10. Due to various reasons, I have never had the opportunity to fly the J-10. I finally took the opportunity to modify the J-10. As a result, during the modification, the engine stalled in the air and almost got stuck on a mountain. Later, he also briefly came into contact with the J-10, but this fighter was like the unicorn he had been attached to for a long time but could not get. Every time he touched it, something would happen, as if a fixed chemical reaction had formed. .

There is no choice but to let the flowers fall away. I have worked hard for thousands of hours but cannot get what I want. The injustice is nothing more than this.

From the moment he took off, Li Zhan was very energetic. The most important reason was precisely because of the painful Platonic love between him and the J-10A.

Li Zhan stared at the sea with wide eyes. Let alone targets, there was not even a ghost. The airborne radar received some intermittent reflected signals, and Li Zhan determined that they were large marine animals jumping out of the water.

Marine animals such as sharks and dolphins like to jump out of the water. Groups of such marine animals can form relatively obvious radar transmission signals on the water surface. When advanced airborne radar searches the sea, it will keenly judge and eliminate it as clutter to reduce the pilot's burden.

The J-10A's airborne radar is not yet capable of such intelligence when searching the sea, but Li Zhan is experienced and can make judgments very quickly.

Li Zhan still wanted to rely on visual search. However, even with anti-glare goggles, it was difficult to see clearly the sea surface two to three kilometers below in the backlight. The target has no power, which means that it will not leave a conspicuous white track, and the difficulty of visual search suddenly increases.

Near evening, the sun was hanging in the west, just in a position that could directly affect Li Zhan's field of vision. Li Zhan was absolutely certain that this live-fire shooting session was set up this way on purpose, perhaps tailor-made for him.

Although he is an old army, he is no longer a soldier of the Second Division after all. It is normal for Yu Chenglin to have some small thoughts in his heart, such as testing Li Zhan with some difficult problems and weighing his merits. Of course it would be best if Li Zhan could be stumped. This can show that the combat effectiveness of the second division has reached a certain level.

Various troops have regarded Li Zhan as the gold standard for judging the combat effectiveness of troops.

Li Zhan had a way to solve the backlight problem, and when he realized that it was unrealistic to rely on airborne radar to detect small targets on the sea, he decided to use his unique skill.

The first problem is to solve the impact of backlighting.

Yu Chenglin was watching the flight all the time, looking forward to Li Zhan coming up with some new methods. If an ordinary person can invent new tricks throughout his flying career, that is enough to enjoy a lifetime of honor and wealth. A combat pilot like Li Zhan who can constantly innovate is a rare person like a genius.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the modern air force Guo Xingfu.

Li Zhan came and he started performing.

His solution is absolutely insane!

When Yu Chenglin saw Li Zhan flying the fighter plane upside down, a flash of light hit his head and he figured it all out.

The dignified deputy division commander actually cursed: "Damn! This guy is so fucking awesome!"

Li Zhan’s solution to the backlight problem was to fly upside down!

After flying upside down, the pilot's chin is facing the sunset, because the pilot has to hold his head high to observe the sea surface, and there is also the fuselage as a shield!

Li Zhan turned his entire field of vision upside down by flying upside down!

"What a genius!" Yu Chenglin exclaimed.

Won't other pilots fly upside down? It can be said that any combat pilot can easily fly the fighter plane upside down. But it's one thing to be able to fly upside down, but it's another thing to apply it in actual combat. Not only is the requirement for greater control over inverted flight, but also a clear concept of the purpose of tactical use is required.

Flying upside down means that the entire upper field of vision is given up, and the posture of the fighter plane is also in an unideal situation. This places higher demands on pilots. Yu Chenglin absolutely did not believe that Li Zhan would give up the air initiative in order to attack targets on the sea, so he was sure that Li Zhan had other options.

Another problem with flying inverted is that it is difficult to maintain it for a long time, which is a great test for the pilot's physical fitness. When flying upside down, the pilot's whole body is upside down, and he is on the sea. It is very easy to cause visual illusions, and the plane will crash if he is not careful.

There have been many similar air crashes in the history of aviation. Often the pilots did not parachute after the crash. That was because people's normal vision had not recovered, which was very tragic.

Li Zhan was naturally confident, otherwise he would not have taken the risk. It is impossible for a person to achieve all successes in his life. Occasionally one or two failures are inevitable. The problem is that there is no such sentence in the dictionary of combat pilots, because failure means death!

No. 17 J-10A flew upside down, slowly lowering its altitude, with the belly of the aircraft facing the sky, the rocket launcher facing the sky, and several stiffeners at the air inlet also facing the sky. In this strange posture, it was hundreds of meters above the sea. Wandering around at such a height, like an acrobat walking upside down.

The Second Division is also equipped with an aerial real-time monitoring system. The J-11BS opened by Yu Chenglin shoots training footage through a camera and transmits it to the tower in real time. The tower commander can know the training status of the troops at any time.

At this time, everyone saw No. 17 J-10A flying upside down. Each one was more surprised than the other. Many people were confused about what was going on.

The tower commander immediately asked urgently, "Yaoguai! What's going on with the plane? It's over!"

"Everything is normal. The maneuver I made is over." Li Zhan replied.

The chief of staff sitting at the tower smiled and said, "You haven't noticed that he did this to deal with the impact of backlighting. It is a very effective, smart and dangerous approach."

It took a while for everyone to figure it out, and the look of surprise was even worse.

This is still a human being, and he can think of such methods. Who has ever used this kind of inverted flight except for flight performances, let alone in combat. This time, their eyes were opened, and they had a deeper understanding of what the famous little prince of the lever was so good at.

They couldn't see where Li Zhan's level was at all.

After using the stunt, Li Zhan's situation suddenly improved a lot, his vision suddenly became very good, and this upside-down posture was not a problem at all for him. He is a man who has withstood ten G overloads.

He quickly discovered that the waves on the sea more than three kilometers to the southwest were somewhat different, and immediately urged the fighter plane to speed up and fly over, and at the same time quickly resumed level flight with its rollers. Once the distance and direction are determined, there won't be much of a problem. Moreover, he still has some taboos about flying upside down.

While flying the Su-27SK, he encountered a very strange danger - the flight control failed and the plane flew upside down. He averted the danger by cutting off the flight control bus and switching to manual control.

He still needed to confirm whether the target he found was the target he wanted to hit. Li Zhan lowered his flying altitude and flew over slowly, trying his best to observe the situation on the sea surface.

He successfully found the target, several targets, scattered on the sea within a kilometer, and they were all moving targets. Eighty percent of the time, these scattered moving targets are slowly coming together under the influence of ocean currents.

To his disappointment, there was no target in it for him to hit.

Li Zhan was unwilling to give in and counted again. A strange thing happened. The number of moving targets was consistent with the live ammunition shooting plan, but there was no target of his own.

What the hell did I hit?
