Great Power Fighting Falcon

Eight years of military experience, four years of military school, and one year of training base. It took more than half a year to reach the second division. Two first-class merits and one second-class merit, and it is very likely that another first-class merit will be recorded at the end of the year. The whole army loves Jun Jingwu. model.

Under such conditions, it would not be unexpected at all to be promoted to the deputy battalion level in advance.

However, Li Zhan was quite surprised when he received the appointment. After all, he had only been in the army for more than half a year. Nie Jianfeng was even more surprised than him. Normally, it would take at least two years for him to be promoted. There is no comparison between him and Chen Fei. He achieved second-class merit and was directly promoted from squadron commander to squadron commander.

Therefore, Nie Jianfeng was overjoyed. Although he is an instructor, his position is not as domineering as that of a squadron leader, but as he has risen in rank, he is promoted to the rank of deputy battalion, and it is logical for him to be promoted to the rank of major. Promotion of military ranks is related to years of service, and the phenomenon of exceptional promotions rarely occurs among middle- and lower-level officers.

Nie Jianfeng knew full well that all this was because of Li Zhan. Thinking about it this way, there are advantages to partnering with Li Zhan, but the risk factor is a little higher.

In the simulator training room, Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng were talking quietly, waiting for the instructor to arrive. The plane hasn't arrived yet, so they have half a month to conduct simulator training. Before the J-8 arrives, they will use J-8s from the fifth regiment for training.

When the teacher arrived, Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng were stunned and quickly stood up at attention, saluted and said hello.

"Hello Qin!"

It turns out that the instructor is Qin Ming, who is probably the one who can handle the most types of aircraft in the Second Division. Unfortunately, due to physical problems, he has been transferred to the ground crew, specializing in film interpretation work. It is foreseeable that his current job will be lost as the J-7 series fighters withdraw from the service of the Second Division.

Other fighters don't have film to interpret.

The waves behind the Yangtze River overshadow the waves before. Isn’t that why teacher Zhang Sihai retired and changed his career instead of becoming a ground handler?

If you can no longer keep up with the development of the times, then make room.

Asking Qin Ming to teach them fully reflects the importance the division attaches to this modification work. Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng are no longer novices, and the J-8 is developed based on the J-7. To put it bluntly, it is an elongated twin-engine version of the J-7, with stronger high-altitude and high-speed performance and low-altitude and low-speed performance. It's even more rubbish.

Except for the J-8, all the main fighters currently in service of the Air Force have two-seat models. The main function of the two-seater is to train pilots, and it is both a fighter and a trainer. The most fundamental reason why the J-8 does not have a two-seater model is that there is no need for this, because the J-7 is already fully capable of pre-training work.

In other words, pilots who have successfully flown solo after receiving training on the J-7 high-education aircraft already have the ability to directly use the J-8.

In other words, both Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng can drive the J-8, which is like changing cars. They are familiar with the actual performance and temperament of the car and understand its advantages and disadvantages, such as braking distance, acceleration time and so on. The Jianzhan-8F is a reconnaissance modification based on the latest J-8F currently in service. It is equipped with a variety of reconnaissance instruments and eliminates cannons and other unnecessary air combat systems. The J-8F itself is based on the D type and has enhanced ground and sea strike capabilities, so HNA is equipped with many of them.

Fang Chenghe mentioned the concept of integrated reconnaissance and combat because the Jianzhen-8F has strong ground and sea strike capabilities, but it still focuses on battlefield tactical reconnaissance, and mainly electronic and photographic reconnaissance. If I have to make an analogy, the Jianzhen-8F is an armored reconnaissance vehicle in the Army's ground armored forces. It does specific things on the battlefield and is not the same thing as a reconnaissance aircraft modified from a transport aircraft as a platform.

After theoretical study, Li Zhan found that it was not difficult to accept the result of modifying the J-8F, because he slowly found the cuteness of the J-8F developed from the "air scum man" When I came here, I also saw his outstanding side - high altitude and high speed, flying higher and faster than the J-7.

Qin Ming looked as serious as ever and said straight to the point, "We're not new here anymore, let's get straight to the point. We'll get on the simulator for ten minutes, and after ten minutes we'll gather to the flight area and get on the plane directly for taxiing training."

Absolutely crisp and clean.

Li Zhan liked this taste. No matter how much he talked, he couldn't get the results from actual practice. He just talked and didn't practice the tricks. He and Nie Jianfeng climbed into the cockpit simulator and took turns getting familiar with the operation of the J-8D. It is easy for them to spend a few days memorizing various steps, and the theoretical foundation is not a problem at all. Otherwise, Air Force pilots would always go to this famous university or that famous university.

"The scumbag in the air is really old and ageless. How many years has it been? It was developed in 1969, finalized in 1979, and equipped with troops the following year. It is now almost 30 years, and he is older than me. He is a This is an outdated model, but it was left to the military industry to tinker with it into a model that is still functional today."

Pushing the accelerator and releasing the brakes, Li Zhan experienced the feeling of the cockpit while half-complaining and half-praising Nie Jianfeng, who was standing beside him.

Nie Jianfeng said, "It is the last second-generation aircraft in the world. The combat thinking at that time had not changed, and it was originally developed for emergency projects. But later, I saw that the aircraft fell behind even before it was equipped with troops. There was no other way but to It keeps changing, the tactical indicators of the troops keep changing, and the manufacturer keeps changing. Being able to change it to the D type, it can be said that the Shenyang Aircraft Factory is also very good."

The early model J-8 was really an elongated twin-engine version of the J-7. The fuselage was lengthened and widened, and two engines were inserted. This is the J-8.

Starting from the second type, the air intake in the nose was changed to the air intake on both sides, and the engine was replaced with a larger thrust, which improved the maneuverability at mid- and low-altitudes. This also freed up the space in the nose of the machine, allowing it to be larger. The radar and fire control system have been improved. The commonly seen J-8s are mainly models after Type II.

The early models were pretty crappy.

From the beginning of the project to the first flight, two chief engineers died, one died of illness and the other due to an air crash. It finally made its first flight. As a result, during the static damage test, the fuselage broke even before it was loaded to 100% of the design load. Transonic vibrations, dual-engine mid-air parking, etc. occurred one after another. , it took seven or eight years of hard work to finally solve all the problems.

As a result, at this point, I opened my eyes and saw that the entire design concept was lagging behind, so I continued to revise it and produced the second model and many subsequent models in the future. Slowly, the scumbag in the air turned into a handsome man in the air, dominating the equipment sequence of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation for thirty years.

Before the introduction of the SU-27, the J-8 was the most advanced fighter in the Chinese aviation force!

"Captain Nie, I always feel that our equipment update speed will be faster than expected." Li Zhan flew up and down, stood up and handed over his position to Nie Jianfeng, frowning and said in a deep voice, "Use Ba Ye to transform a tactical reconnaissance aircraft, this It was unthinkable in the past, but now it is not only being used to modify and produce improved models, but I have asked and the Shenyang Aircraft Factory is still producing them."

It was impossible to convert the J-8 into a tactical reconnaissance aircraft in the past because it was so precious. How could it be converted into a tactical reconnaissance aircraft when there were not enough fighter jets. What does a tactical reconnaissance aircraft do? It is a cannon fodder that rushes ahead. It is the same as an army scout. Before the large forces start to attack, they first go into the enemy to get a feel for the situation. It is conceivable that the risk factor is high. Braving artillery fire and plunging into the enemy's formation, the risk factor is just as high. The reason why the training of army scouts is much stricter than that of ordinary infantry troops is because their battlefield survival conditions are extremely poor.

In the past, the Air Force used J-6 modifications as tactical reconnaissance aircraft.

Therefore, it can be concluded that since Ba Ye has been relegated to the second line as a homeland air defense aircraft and tactical reconnaissance aircraft, there must be more and more third-generation aircraft equipped with the troops.

"This is a good thing. The division has agreed. The J-11 is in place and we will participate in the modification together. After all, we are now able to fly three main types of aircraft. We are so generous!"

Nie Jianfeng quickly pulled the lever, and the fighter plane raised its head and shot straight into the blue sky.
