Great Power Fighting Falcon

It was a calm journey back to the combat training base, and it was time for the night flight.

One after another, the war eagles slid quickly into the night sky, dragging their tail flames. The red and green navigation lights on the left and right flashed all the way to a very, very far away place.

The weather is great.

Li Zhan came out of the aviation hospital and went directly to the flight briefing room. He found that Bao Guanhua was also there, so he reported to Bao Guanhua what he had discussed with the Army Aviation Brigade.

Bao Guanhua said, "You will report to the brigade commander when he comes down. In principle, the combat readiness patrol can be shared by the Army Aviation Brigade. We also have to do combat readiness patrols."

"The brigade commander flew?" Li Zhan was surprised.

It seems that Xue Xiangdong has not flown at night for a while.

Bao Guanhua said, "The latest order from the aviation department requires the military chief to take the lead and have the ability to use all equipment."

"Which model does the brigade commander fly?" Li Zhan asked.

"Su Liangqi, Nie Jianfeng is taking him." Bao Guanhua said.

Li Zhan put down his flying helmet and said with a smile, "It's hard for him because of his age."

"Yes, your rating assessment results are here. Congratulations on your promotion to Level 2 pilot." Bao Guanhua informed Li Zhan of the good news.

The flying time of the subordinate unit reached 1,500 hours in more than two years. Li Zhan was even fully qualified to take the first-level pilot assessment. However, he had too few years, and it was already an exception to take the second-level pilot assessment. Major Camp Captain, Air Force Level 2 Pilot, Air Force Talent Pool Member, Seven First-Class Merits, All-Army Patriot Elite Model, Western Warrior...

Li Zhan said happily, "Great, I finally made the cut."

"The professional title has come up, the salary has also come up, and the villa loan will be paid off soon." Bao Guanhua said with a smile.

The news about the little prince's purchase of a villa has already spread throughout the brigade. Everyone knows that the captain of the draw team spent more than 600,000 yuan on the purchase of a villa during the Spring Festival when he returned home last year. There is one villa every year. Everyone joked that the leader of the rod team could build a community when he was grounded.

Li Zhan said seriously, "Political Commissar, my successful promotion means that my flying skills have been recognized. The main thing is this recognition. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not."

Bao Guanhua said, "I believe you are speaking from your heart. Just do your business. I'll go to the tower to take a look."

"yes!"

After seeing Bao Guanhua off, Li Zhan called over Han Hongjun, Li Zixin, and Wu Zhen who were sitting on the other side studying the aeronautical charts, and said, "Has the equipment been checked?"

"It's been checked, and Zhang Te also did a test. There's no problem. I'm just waiting for your order." Han Hongjun said.

Tonight's night flight has a special mission, to test the effect of the first phase of the Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center. Zhang Te cooperated with an electronic research institute to develop a terminal, and modified a SU-27SK, a SU-27UBK and Li Zhan's J-7EGG to be able to connect through a data link and the tactical intelligence exchange center. Information and data from the tactical intelligence interaction center can be obtained in real time.

If successful, the pilots of the 101st Brigade will be able to know their specific location anytime and anywhere, and can obtain timely data on regional weather changes, especially for night flights, which will provide better safety. In the past, the biggest difficulty in night flights was that pilots did not know the relative position, and even the runway was difficult to find. With this terminal with positioning function, all problems will be solved.

The most powerful function is the identification of friend or foe. Through this system, the ground command post can know the status of all fighter aircraft, including their flight attitude, and can identify them.

After the future system is fully formed, it will be the Air Force's tactical data link, organically linking every fighter aircraft. According to Zhang Te, without hundreds of billions of capital investment and a construction period of 20 to 30 years, there will be no results.

What the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center can do now is only at a very low-level stage, which is even simpler than the data link system used by the 300th Division.

More than 30 million have been invested.

Li Zhan looked at the time and said, "Get ready to board the plane. The main task tonight is to test the intelligence interaction system. Be careful not to make the flying movements too intense."

"Yes!" The three men answered immediately, picked up their flight helmets and ran out.

Li Zhan was the last to go out and took the commuter bus to the tarmac. No. 037 J-7EGG is probably the most modified and improved aircraft in the J-7 series currently in service in the Air Force. A Doppler radar of the same model as the Xiaolong has been installed, the WP-7PG engine has been replaced, the cockpit instruments have been replaced, a head-up display has been installed, a brand new radar warning system, and now a tactical intelligence interactive terminal has been installed.

The combat capability of the No. 037 J-7EGG is infinitely close to that of the third-generation aircraft.

This is the real modified J-7, which is the same as the Army's five-pair wheel Type 59 medium tank carrying a 120mm smoothbore gun.

"Dongsanguai is ready for takeoff." Tower commander Yang Jinshan gave the order.

Li Zhan watched the SU-27UBK driven by Han Hongjun and Li Zixin take off into the air. The tail flames at the nozzles of the two AL-31F engines were very eye-catching. After climbing, it turned westward and flew over the Beiku Mountains, and the test work began immediately.

"I understand." Li Zhan pushed the throttle lever all the way, waited for the engine speed to climb, released the brakes, the fighter accelerated and rolled away, and lifted the lever to lift off the ground.

The color screen display on the left displays a variety of information, such as the real-time position changes of the fighter aircraft, altitude, airspeed and heading, etc., which are all clear at a glance. This reminded Li Zhan of the time when he first arrived in Beiku, flying the J-7 B model, an old and backward early model J-7. The simplicity of the cockpit gave people a sense of time travel.

"Dong Sanguai, test the task distribution system, pay attention to check." Yang Jinshan reminded Li Zhan after getting Zhang Te's permission.

Li Zhan lowered his head and glanced at the color screen. A line of information popped up in the middle, including the target location and mission. He immediately reported, "Dong Sanguai successfully received the mission. Confirm that the information is correct. It's over."

"Dong Sanguai will simulate an attack. Stay tuned and contact us at any time. It's over." Yang Jinshan said.

"Dong Sanguai understands, it's over."

The No. 037 J-7EGG with three auxiliary fuel tanks attached made a steep turn and flew towards the desert at high altitude. Li Zhan looked at the sky. It was dotted with stars and he could see two small dots moving very fast flying higher in the sky. The position of the friendly aircraft should be visible on the color screen. After Li Zhan adjusted the display mode, he could immediately see the specific position of the friendly aircraft and related flight data.

At least so far, Li Zhan is satisfied with the results of the Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center. The investment of more than 30 million yuan has not been in vain. Being able to see the status of friendly aircraft can not only avoid accidental damage, but also enable more tactics to be used during combat, which greatly improves combat efficiency.

Li Zhan conducted a simulated strike on a simulated target. The whole process went smoothly, and the tactical intelligence interaction system ran very stably. Completely separated from the guidance of the ground command post, the target was found and struck by relying on the tactical intelligence interaction system. This change in combat style represents the future development direction of the Air Force.

Li Zhan's big step tonight will become a small step in the development of air force operations.

For grassroots officers and soldiers, specifically regarding Li Zhan and his No. 037 J-7EGG, the significance of the success of the first phase of construction of the tactical intelligence interaction system is that it has given her new life. Fighters that were supposed to be eliminated from the combat sequence over time have become more powerful in combat due to the blessing of this system, greatly extending their service time.

"Three turns into the cave and return." Yang Jinshan gave the order.

Li Zhan asked doubtfully, "Tower, what's going on? It's over."

What a joke to let him return before the test work is over.

"The hole is three turns. If there is any other situation, return immediately. It's over."

"clear!"
