Super military empire

In a certain airport in Hotan area, the runway was covered with ice everywhere, but the middle runways were cleaned very clean, even in this freezing winter, there was still white steam.

In winter in the western fringe of the Republic, the temperature is extremely low, and the icy runway is simply not suitable for fighter planes to take off and land.

A number of sprinklers moved back and forth in the airport runway, continuously spraying the water in the water tank around the surrounding area, and then "chicking" a puff of white water mist rose up.

When the mist dissipated, there was still ice on the ground, but it was not as thick and rigid as before.

Until all the ice on the ground melted and puddles were everywhere on the runway, these sprinklers finally gave up.

"Check the fighter plane and prepare to take off! You only have five minutes. Once you miss this time, the ground freezes and it will be more difficult to take off..." Inside the terminal building, an Iranian commander in the uniform of a lieutenant colonel was holding an intercom. Said to the pilot in the blue fighter plane parked outside the hangar.

Although these fighters are painted, they do not have any national air force logo.

"These Iranians are also true, and such a method can also be figured out..." Seeing that the fighters moved quickly, they slowly moved from the parking position to the runway, then slowly turned and stopped. , Qi Hao who came here to watch was a little surprised.

Before sliding out of the hangar, the ground crew had already conducted a comprehensive inspection of these fighters.

The weather conditions today are good, but it snowed not long ago, and even though the runway was swept, it was still frozen.

The Iranians did not wait for the snow to melt at all, but asked the Chinese to use hot water to heat and melt the ice on the runway.

From the very beginning to the present, it took more than an hour for a runway!

When Liu Yijiu saw the situation on the runway, he couldn't help but admire in his heart.

The soldiers of Iran can even surpass the soldiers of the Republic in the degree of fear of death.

Moreover, these soldiers who are not afraid of death are even better than the pilots of the Republic!

"They need to test the performance of the fighter, not only they are more anxious!" Taking off in such an extreme environment requires very high performance for the fighter.

Especially the ground running ability.

Iranians are not fools, and there is basically no such environment in their country.

At the same time, on this plateau, the oxygen in winter is also relatively thin, and the air is even cooler than when a fighter plane is flying in the air, and the performance requirements for the engine are also very high.

Liu Yijiu first hoped to wait until the weather was warm before making a deal, but the Iranians refused.

Both parties in this transaction were more anxious, and finally cleared out a 1,500-meter runway with a sprinkler, allowing the fighter to take off safely, although this increased the fighter's take-off distance a lot, and it was also prone to danger.However, the Iranians insisted on doing this, and Liu Yijiu did not refuse. Anyway, the Iranians have already delivered the money for the five fighters. This is Iranian equipment.

In the afterglow of the sunset, these fighters were driven by excellent Iranian pilots, one by one, and quickly spread their wings toward the southern sky.

The F-14 that Iran provided to China originally came from here, and the tanker also came from here. This was the first point of entry into the airspace of the Republic. At the same time, it has now become the first point of export for the Republic of fighter aircraft.

"The torrent of history is finally about to change direction! It was not five fighters that flew away, but five little ants that blocked the advancement of history and made this monster change direction..." Looking at the sky neatly arranged into one The five light blue fighters in the arrow formation flew towards the south. Even if the weather was very cold and the dripping water turned into ice, he did not feel the slightest.

The western part of the Republic is inland. The temperature in winter is extremely low and sparsely populated. In the coldest winter, there are basically no people in the open area.

However, this area is different. Few people know that it is an area known only for the jade industry. There is a military station of the Republic Air Force. In the past few years, trade with Pakistan has increased. Many of the areas are restricted military zones.

In recent years, this military station has been vigorously constructed, and various airport equipment has been built, not even much smaller than some medium-sized military airfields, but the number of surrounding buildings is not too much.Many of the buildings are buried in the ground, and even the military barracks next to them are different from other airports.

After the fighter plane took off, the personnel on the airport began to pack things on both sides of the runway and head towards the buildings not far away.

Liu Yijiu, who was sent here in person, didn't seem to feel the cold at all.

"It's cold outside, let's go back, it will be dark in a while, I hope the formation won't encounter any storm..." Seeing the formation of fighter planes going away getting smaller and smaller, they gradually turned into small black spots and disappeared. , Qi Hao said with a complex expression to Liu Yijiu who was still watching the sky far away.

"Minister Qi, do you say that our fighters can reach safely?" Although these fighters can fly at an altitude of 26,000 meters and cross the Himalayas, even some backward fighters or transport aircrafts of World War II can do it, even if they do not Through experiments, we can also know that these fighters with better performance than the F-14 cross the world's highest peak is not a problem at all.

Liu Yijiu is still worried.

What he was worried about was not that the chance of war would encounter natural disasters here and there would be problems. They had prepared for this flight for many years.

Even the climatic conditions of the surrounding area are very familiar.

"Aren't you worried that this fighter will not be able to cross the Himalayas?" Qi Hao smiled and asked Liu Yijiu, "Worry about their performance on the battlefield?"

Liu Yijiu did not speak.

But still looking towards the distant sky.

The five fighter planes that took off from Hotan Airport completed the air formation in less than three kilometers of the sky.

Those who drive these fighters are at least the rank of major. The leader is a middle-aged colonel. If the members of the flight test team under the Ninth Academy are here, they will be able to know that this guy is an Iranian combat hero, and their instructor—— Zairi.

This man, originally drove the F-14 from across Iran, through Pakistan, and then flew over the snowy mountains into China.

After arriving in China, he has stayed in China to train F-14 drivers for China.

At the same time, he also became the first to fly this new fighter after completing the imitation of the F-14 in China, and the J-11 with a significant operating difference from their f-14, and knows best about the fighter.

He is now the captain of the entire formation, and all fighters follow his orders.

After taking off from the airport and completing the formation, he ordered the other fighters to maintain altitude, maintain the same speed as him, and rush towards that side.

Soon, I saw the snow-capped mountains emerging from the clouds in the distance!

"Pay attention to check the power!" For the Chinese fighter plane, the engine is the problem that worries him the most. Before the air test of the Chinese engine had too many problems, he witnessed it with his own eyes. Under such extreme conditions, the Chinese did not The performance of the engine has not been tested.

"Received, boss..."

"The engine is normal, the output is completely sufficient, and there is a lot of surplus, which is much better than ours..."

"No problem, all indicators are normal..."

Zairi was very satisfied when he received the voice from the communication channel.

A smile just appeared on his face, but when he felt the shaking of the fighter, he suddenly stiffened.

"There is convection ahead, 45° climb, 24,000 altitude!" He is indeed an Iranian combat hero. When encountering such a situation, he has a plan instantly.

The other fighter pilots were all experienced pilots who were trained by the U.S. and then performed well on the Iran-Iraq battlefield. After hearing the order, they all started to operate.

The nose of the plane, which was originally flying, was quickly lifted toward the sky, until it flew at a 45° angle to the horizontal plane, and then kept flying straight toward the sky.

"Pay attention to the clouds and pay attention to the power output at any time!"

While issuing orders, he observed the power output of the fighter.

"No, the airflow outside is too strong and the output power is insufficient..."

A fighter plane on the left side of Zairi was swayed constantly by the strong air current, almost unable to control its flight attitude.

The same is true for other fighters. All pilots are trying their best to stabilize the joysticks so that the fighters do not shake too much.

"The power reality is enough. The airflow outside is too turbulent. If it continues like this, it will make the fighter's flight attitude uncontrollable..." Zairi's fighter also began to shake violently.

If you knew it, you should climb to a sufficient height at the beginning.

The mountain peaks on this side are different from the other side. The cold current from the north flows back when it encounters the obstacles of the Himalayas, and it is still accelerating...

"Full power output..."

The two engine nozzles at the tail of the fighter aircraft, which were originally very pale in color, all turned into blazing white in an instant, leaving two white tracks behind the fighter aircraft.

The flight attitude of the aircraft became more stable, but it was still shaking.

The five fighters are like lightning, presenting a 45° angle to the sky, constantly climbing upwards...

Feeling the fighter plane began to shake again, and looking at the height of the fighter plane dashboard, Zairi issued the command again: "Turn on afterburner!"

The tail flames of the five fighters changed again, and the fighters that were originally fast enough speed up a lot in an instant.

When it reached an altitude of 22,000 meters, the fighter plane didn't feel any shaking at all.

There are white clouds above, and at the limit speed, five fighters quickly emerged from the clouds...
