In the summer night, an airport in eastern Zhejiang was all silent.
"Take off!" With the commander's order, several fighter planes pierced the night and went straight into a predetermined airspace. The dawn flight training organized by a brigade of naval aviation in the eastern theater kicked off.
"It is well known that flight training at dawn is very important, but it faces many risks." The brigade's training staff told reporters that at dawn, the blood sugar in the pilot's blood was low, and long-term, high-intensity sea flights were prone to illusions. This training has Helps to improve the pilot's physical fitness, flight technical level, and air special situation handling capabilities.
"Forging a sea and air powerhouse that can win the battle, we must meet the difficulties." According to reports, since the training began this year, the brigade has closely followed the actual combat requirements, normalized the organization of dangerous courses, and carried out many times in unfamiliar sea areas and complex meteorological conditions. Under the mission.
After reaching the designated airspace, the fighter successfully networked with the early warning aircraft. After breaking through the "enemy" search, it accurately targeted the target and carried out simulated strikes. After returning home, pilot Liu Jiang told reporters that the light was dim during dawn flight, the horizon was small, and technical and tactical requirements were high. In response to these characteristics, they focused on studying the possible adverse factors in the battlefield environment, designing and formulating relevant tactical actions, ensuring that the target was captured in the first place, and "sword sealing the throat" was achieved.
After a short adjustment, several fighters attacked again, and the air and interception, close support, and anti-attack against the sea broke out.
After the training, the fighters returned to the field one after another. The flying reference interpretation showed that the air skills and tactics of the participating pilots were skillful and precise. They arrived on time under extreme conditions and further improved their target recognition and strike capabilities, which accumulated experience for subsequent similar tasks.
