Soldier Assault Commander

Chapter 488

488 all-weather combat

Fade Chen looked awesome.

But he wasn't just bragging.

Building the all-weather combat capability of the 107th brigade is the top priority of Chen Fei and Li Yunfei.

Since the 107th brigade will be a front-line combat force in the future, it is necessary to have all-weather combat capabilities, and there are no conditions to talk about.

The so-called all-weather means that any time and any place, whether it is day or night, whether it is sunny or rainy or snowy, as soon as the mission comes, the 107th Brigade has to take off to fight immediately.

There are many conditions for an aircraft to achieve all-weather takeoff and landing flight.

The first is that the airborne electronic equipment must be able to work in a complex weather environment, otherwise the pilot may become blind.With the improvement of airborne electronic equipment, especially with various airborne radar and navigation systems with good performance, most civil and military aircraft can actually guarantee to take off under complex weather conditions, that is to say, they are all-weather aircraft.

Second, if fighter jets want to take off in rainy days, they must also solve the problem of engine water ingress.

To be honest, the current 107 is not yet capable of all-weather combat. All other conditions are met, but there is a lack of pilots who can fly all-weather. First, taking off and landing at night is a problem.

To be precise, it is not that 107 has not taken off and landed at night, but that is not a night take-off and landing under actual combat conditions. The night take-off and landing before 107 also used searchlights to illuminate the runway. This practice is obviously inappropriate. Looking at the searchlight, isn't that pointing out the direction of bombing and destruction for the enemy, so in this regard, it must be strengthened. After Fade Chen came to 107, there have been some changes in this aspect, but it is still not enough, and must be strengthened.

As for the second one, taking off and landing in rainy and snowy weather, this has not been done much. Before 107, safety was the priority, and that kind of bad weather conditions should naturally be avoided as much as possible.

But if you dare not take off and land in the dark in rainy and snowy weather, then the so-called all-weather combat capability is just empty talk.

However, the problem of lack of all-weather combat capability is not just a problem of 107. Up to now, only about half of our country's air force has achieved all-weather combat capability.

However, almost all fighter jets of Laomei have the ability to fight at night, and the strikes launched by Laomei are basically taken in the early morning.So if we don't have the ability to fight at night, once a conflict occurs, we will definitely be suppressed by our opponents.

Of course, there are also great unsafe factors in night combat. Because of poor vision, fighter pilots are likely to cause aircraft crashes and deaths during night training.Failure to see the runway or the height of the ground may cause fighter jets to lower their landing gear earlier or later during landing, eventually leading to tragedy.Therefore, only after hard training can one be able to master the skills of taking off and landing at night.This kind of training is both dangerous and tests the psychological quality of the pilots, so whether they can take off and land at night is an intuitive reflection of the combat effectiveness of an army.

So, this time, Fade Chen seized this opportunity to practice well.

The weather station is really good at predicting things. The weather changed a little on the second day, and it started to be gloomy on the third day. When 107 was about to start taking off and landing training, it really was thunderstorms, not only raining , and the wind is still strong.Under the gloomy black clouds, the pilots of the 107th brigade had not so good-looking expressions, nervous and a little scared.

Fade Chen walked up to several pilots with a flying helmet in his hand, glanced at them, and pulled his lips: "What? Are you scared?"

Those guys were apprehensive and fidgety at first, but at the moment they were so excited by Fade Chen, their faces flushed immediately, and they hurriedly denied: "Political commissar, how could it be? How could the soldiers of 107 be cowardly?"

Chen Fei nodded, very satisfied, and said with a smile: "That's right, this is my 107 pawn, well, let's go, go to the battlefield, I will lead the battle today, I will show you all Pathfinder!"

When everyone heard that Fade Chen was going to be the first to fly, their hearts were relieved, and their hearts fell from their throats into their stomachs. The biggest reason why everyone was so worried today was that they were afraid that Fade Chen would catch them as No.1. If you are the first one to go out, you need experience or no experience, it doesn’t matter what you want, and the first one attracts a lot of attention and the pressure is huge, so as long as you are not the first to take off, then it’s nothing, the big deal is to follow the gourd and do what others do Yes, and today is the political commissar's first flight, so there is no problem. Everyone's faces suddenly relaxed, their smiles reappeared, and their steps were light.

Fade Chen took everyone to the hangar with big strides. The fighter jets had already been launched. Fade Chen climbed into the cockpit, checked them one by one, and then gave an OK gesture to the ground staff outside. The following work The staff responded with a gesture. Afterwards, the boarding ladder was withdrawn, the power supply was unplugged, and the hatch cover was lowered slowly. Fade Chen put on the oxygen mask, exhaled deeply, and then checked the fighter jet for the last time.

While he was doing the inspection, an electric snake appeared in the air outside. A moment later, there was a deafening sound.

There had been a heavy rain before, and there was already water on the ground, and now it was pouring again, and it was watery after a while, and the runway was no longer visible.

After a few buzzes, the radio rang: "Dongyao, I'm the control tower, the thunderstorm is too heavy, is today's training postponed, is it over?"

Today at the control tower is the captain of the first brigade, Yang Feng.

He was taken aback by the astonishing thunderbolt just now, and instinctively wanted to cancel the training plan, but today was led by Fade himself, and he didn't have the guts to cancel it directly, so he could only ask pitifully.

Chen Fei glanced outside, and said in a deep voice, "Proceed as planned!"

"A hole?"

"Excuting an order!"

"Yes!" Yang Feng had no choice but to answer honestly. After a while, his voice sounded again: "Dongyao, the current wind speed is 8 meters per second."

He began to report relevant weather data.

After listening to Fade Chen, he released the brakes, and J-Ba slowly slid forward, first out of the hangar, and then onto the runway. After getting on the runway, Fade Chen started to accelerate, but the speed was not as violent as usual. promote.

boom--

The thunderstorm reappeared, and the gloomy ground suddenly became bright and clear. Looking from the rear, it seemed that the bolt of lightning was about to hit the head of the fighter jet. This was a huge test for people's psychology.

But Fade Chen acted as if he didn't see it, and just slid forward steadily.

call--

A gust of wind suddenly blew and swirled and hit Zhan Zhan. The body of the fighter seemed to tremble, and the flagpole in the distance was blown directly.

"Commissar be careful!"

"Oops!"

On the control tower, many people's hearts tightened.

But Fade Chen just flicked the operating lever lightly, and the effect was eliminated at once. He operated while talking, and he said every operation. On the tower, the pilots who heard these words hurriedly fell silent. Keep in mind that these are all experiences!
After sliding for about 300 meters, Fade Chen accelerated again, and the fighter finally roared. The rain covered the airport runway, and the fighter jet broke through the waves to attack. The heat wave from the turbofan engine blew up the rainwater on the runway, just like a battleship flying at high speed in the sea. Same as sailing!The speed of the fighter plane was getting faster and faster. When the fighter plane slid 730 meters, Fade Chen pulled the joystick, and the fighter plane roared into the sky and took off successfully.

It is still rare for fighter jets to take off in the rain at this time in China, but around 2020, that will be the norm.
