[Explanation] Tibet, known as the "Third Pole" in the world, is different from most regions. The average altitude here is more than 4,000 meters, and there is no oxygen in the high cold and thin air.
In such a harsh environment, there is a group of female soldiers with an average age of less than 22 years old. The young women walked out of the campus to remove their red makeup and dreamed of the sky in the training ground. They were the soldiers of the first plateau female flying squad of an artillery brigade in the Tibet Military Region .
Artillery is known as the "God of War". The drone, which is the "Eye of the God of War", allows the artillery shells to have "eyes", allowing the artillery to accurately damage targets hundreds of kilometers away.
In order to meet the needs of the future battlefield, an artillery brigade of the Tibet Military Region established the first highland women's flying squad.
When the brigade's long-range fire detachment carried out the first live fire after the equipment was upgraded and modified, the superiors required the female flight squad to complete the reconnaissance and calibration missions of the long-range fire strike.
On the day of the live ammunition shooting, weather inspections showed that the existing weather conditions could not meet the drone takeoff requirements at all, and the female soldiers faced unprecedented challenges.
Relying on the experience accumulated in the usual training, the female flight class successfully completed all the preparations before the drone flight within the specified time. With a roar, the drone successfully flew to the target area and transmitted clear images to Far fire unit position.
In the end, the female flight squad used the real-time data returned to quickly determine the damage effect of the target and successfully completed the mission.

Some parts of the drone are very heavy and large, so during the training gap, we will actively request to increase the amount of training in order to shorten the gap with the male soldiers.
[Explanation] At this stage, it is a critical period for the plateau women's flight class to prepare for professional training and strengthen professional skills.
Aircraft assembly, equipment inspection, instruction loop, aircraft hoisting...every link, any action, they strictly demand themselves to ensure that there is no problem with the overall training process.
In every exercise, the women's flight crew hopes that the drone will take off smoothly, operate safely, and land safely.
They painted camouflage green for youth, they often think of their relatives far away after training.

Whenever I see the sky full of stars, I feel homesick, miss my parents, and when I miss very much, I will sing with my comrades-in-arms. This may be the best way for us to relieve homesickness.
[Explanation] The plateau is youthful and has no regrets, and the women do not let the eyebrows be shaved.
In the coming days, the plateau women's drone flight class will usher in even greater challenges.
