Great Power Fighting Falcon

The roar of war eagles pierced the night sky one after another. The landing gear lights were on, the navigation lights were flashing, and the engines spit out long tail flames one after another.

The fleet returned after dark, and Xixian Field Station began intensive recovery of fighter jets at night. They immediately carried out emergency support, refueling, replenishing ammunition, mechanical inspections, etc. The pilots were on standby. After completing the field support work, they quickly took off to continue live-fire training.

The Second Division focused its day-and-night live-fire training on the night part, focusing on honing the troops' night combat capabilities. Live-fire firing operations at night by a large fleet of aircraft are very dangerous, and they are dispatched in turns. One J-10A had a problem with an aircraft fire launcher mounted on it, and had to risk landing with bombs. Fortunately there were no other issues throughout the process.

Under this tense and busy situation, the outfield began the work of field support for fighter aircraft at night. Field support means that a large number of related flight preparations need to be canceled and only a few necessary ones are done. If the battle situation is urgent, you can only replenish fuel and ammunition, and everything else can be omitted.

The camera crew's eyes were opened. The day and night live-fire shooting training conducted by the Second Division must have been the largest for the Guangqiao Army many years ago, and it was probably ranked among the highest in the entire Air Force.

After the J-10A detachment took off again, the J-11B detachment landed. They could omit the step of replenishing fuel because the fuel margin was very sufficient.

Li Zhan piloted J-10A No. 17, belatedly arrived and landed behind the J-11B detachment. This is because he has to demonstrate shooting subjects to two units respectively, which means two rounds of shooting. In order not to affect the normal rhythm of the two teams, he could only use every opportunity to come in. The flight parameters and video recording could record all the data, which would be very important shooting data.

He ate a few bites of a simple meal and replenished some water before returning to the tarmac and waiting. Don’t dare to eat too much because eating too much requires a lot of energy for digestion, which can lead to lack of energy or even drowsiness.

In less than twenty minutes, all the J-11Bs completed their support and once again lined up on the taxiway on the side of the take-off position in the posture of an elephant strolling. Three more flares were fired into the air, and the tower issued the take-off command.

The J-11Bs entered the take-off position two by one and rolled to take off. The connection between the front and rear was very tight.

Li Zhan listened to the rich sound of the twin-engine heavy fighter jets, and he felt no envy in his heart. He has been flying safely with the J-10A for several hours, and all of them were live-fire flights. There was not even a single accident during the entire process, let alone any danger.

This seemed to mean that the curse hanging over him and the J-10A was broken.

The J-10A has been talked about since I was in the army. Five years later, it can finally come together and combine into a complete combat unit.

Now he looks at the J-10A so much that he likes it. He even thinks that the J-10A is better looking than the J-10B. At least it has a more rough temperament, especially those sexy ribs at the entrance of the air intake. This is what a fighter should look like!

Of course, subjective visual experience cannot be used as a criterion.

The maintenance staff quickly completed the support of the No. 17 J-10A, filled it with fuel and mounted armaments, and thoughtfully mounted a YJ-83K air-to-ship missile, which can be said to be armed to the teeth. In tonight's second round of live-fire shooting, Li Zhan finally needed to use the YJ-83K air-to-ship missile to perform a high-standard demonstration action against sea targets. Yu Chenglin meant that Li Zhan would prepare for such shootings of the second division in the future. Subjects set a standard.

The training standards of the Second Division have long exceeded the standards. They have always trained their troops according to higher standards. This is one of the reasons why the Second Division received the nickname Nan Batian.

Li Zhan naturally agreed wholeheartedly. The troops he had served in all treated his standards as the highest standard for troop training, and everyone worked hard to catch up. In the past, I didn’t believe that anyone could achieve such a standard, but now that someone can do it, it shows that it is achievable, so why not train hard and reach new heights?

There is quite a lot of ammunition to be fired soon. There are two aircraft fire launchers on the left and right wing pylons. In a single unit, there are 28 rounds of aircraft fire, which is the same as the previous two times. In addition, there is a big thing like a YJ-83K air-to-ship missile, mounted on a heavy-duty pylon under the air intake.

It is common to see that the J-10 will have three auxiliary fuel tanks, one on the innermost heavy-duty pylons on the left and right wings, and the third one on the heavy-duty pylon below the air inlet. These three pylons can hang weapons, ammunition or other equipment weighing more than one ton.

Although the J-10 is small in size and is still a single-engine fighter, its mounting capability is not weak at all, with several hardpoints. Although the maximum carrying weight reaches six tons, the range will be severely shortened, so under normal circumstances it only carries three tons of ammunition and maintains a maximum combat radius of about one thousand kilometers.

Li Zhan's mounted weight at this time was about three tons, because he also brought two auxiliary fuel tanks. Because there are three external hardpoints under the left and right wings respectively, and the two auxiliary fuel tanks occupy the innermost hardpoints, the four aircraft fire launchers are all mounted on the two outermost hardpoints.

The slender-looking J-10A gives people a very strong sense of power, as if a maid is carrying a heavy load. As for the J-11B, it looks like it has seven or eight external weapons attached to it, and the visual impact is relatively weak.

Many people who can't tell the difference between the auxiliary fuel tank and the missile still think that the auxiliary fuel tank is a missile. After all, the aerodynamic shape of the auxiliary fuel tank is very similar to that of a missile, and it is also suitable for high-speed flight. Some fighter jets can fly at supersonic speeds while carrying auxiliary fuel tanks. The shape of the auxiliary fuel tanks they carry must conform to the aerodynamic layout of supersonic flight.

Li Zhan and the ordnance engineer checked the power connections of the weapons and ammunition and ensured that the external safety pins had been removed. Then they completed the external inspection and boarded the aircraft to check other systems with the mechanics. The whole process was sped up. After the boarding ladder was removed, the taxi out signal was sent, and Li Zhan lightly pushed the throttle lever to slide out of the apron.

The outfield was dark under light control. Li Zhan also deliberately adjusted the landing gear lights to the minimum brightness. In this way, the No. 17 J-10A looked like a deadly killer quietly dispatched in the dark. The cameraman recorded this scene very keenly.

The mounts are completely different from those of other fighters. It can even be said that the military propaganda department does not have many opportunities to see the fighter aircraft with full mounts, and the troops themselves rarely fly with full mounts. The increasing number of flights with full loads is actually a specific detail that reflects the in-depth actual combat training of the troops.

Li Zhan was the last one to be dispatched, so there are multiple angles of footage to shoot him, which will fully record the take-off process of No. 17 J-10A.

"Tower, the unit is ready for takeoff, over."

The tower commander gave the takeoff command: "Yaoguai, time to take off."

"clear."

Li Zhan pushed the throttle lever all the way and released the brake after the engine speed came up. The No. 17 J-10A's engine nozzle spurted light blue tail flames, and the fighter jet began to taxi quickly. Li Zhan stared at the airspeed indicator. After reaching the take-off speed, he suddenly pulled the stick and raised the nose of the plane to start climbing at a high angle. In the darkness, a pigeon flew anxiously in the air looking for the direction of home. Then it was sucked into the intake duct by strong suction, which instantly destroyed the first stage blade of the engine, and the AL-31FN engine stopped instantly.

The No. 17 J-10A, which climbed at an elevation angle of 45 degrees, stalled instantly and fell from a height of more than 100 meters. It fell to the grass at the end of the runway and exploded. The impact of the ammunition it carried tore the entire fighter plane apart. , torn into pieces, the YJ-83K air-to-ship missile exploded directly flattening the grassland around where the fighter plane fell...

Tick ​​tock, tick tock, tick tock.

The entire process from hitting the bird to landing and exploding occurred in just three seconds.

No one reacted, and even the photographer who was following the scene was stunned for several seconds before he screamed loudly and realized that a major accident had occurred.

The tower commander's reaction was very fast because it was a conditioned reflex. When he saw the No. 17 J-10A falling down, his first order was to order the fire rescue team to set off. As soon as he gave the order, the No. 17 J-10A hit the ground and exploded.

The huge flames lit up more than half of the sky in the entire outfield, showing how powerful the explosion was.

A huge explosion resounded through the night sky of the West County Station. Everyone was frightened by the shocking sound, and some even suspected that they had been attacked by a missile!

The No. 17 J-10A, which was fully loaded with fuel and three tons of ammunition, burned in the fire. The fierce fire enveloped the fighter so tightly that no one could even see the appearance of the fighter!

The fire rescue team, medical rescue team and other emergency units that had been on standby rushed over by car. Even the guard company, field maintenance company and maintenance team received the order. Those who had tools took tools while those who did not had tools were empty-handed. The car ran towards the crash site.

No longer caring about eliminating danger, everyone had only one thought in their minds - to rescue the pilot at all costs!

If something happens to Li Zhan on the territory of the Second Division, the consequences will be unbearable even if many people gather together!

The entire Xixian station went crazy. After the emergency mechanism was activated, the Guangzhou Air and Space Agency was rewarded immediately. The leader who had just fallen asleep suddenly woke up after receiving the call and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you sure? Is it Li Zhan? Are you sure?"

The leader lost his temper.

"Yes, it is Li Zhan's plane. He was the last one to take off in the second round of live-fire training. It was his plane. The accident happened so suddenly. We still don't know what caused the crash..."

"Then it's true." The leader put down the phone in a daze, unable to hear what he said next.

That's not an ordinary pilot. Although saying this will belittle the value of other pilots, the fact is that the reality is so cruel! If Li Zhan is lost, many plans and articles planned by the Air Force will not be able to proceed.

What's more, Li Zhan is a banner and a benchmark figure among the Air Force pilots in the new era!

"I want to go to Xi County right away, right now!"

The leader quickly recovered and issued the order with grief.

"Tell Wu Pengyu! Find the person at all costs! You want to see the corpse or the person!"

"Mr. Wu is at Guibei Chang Station."

"Tell him to come back immediately! I must see him before I arrive!"

"yes!"
