CCTV News: A certain brigade of the Air Force Aviation Corps, formerly known as the first batch of ace units formed by the People's Air Force, the first to participate in the war, and the first to win victories, shot down and injured 88 enemy planes on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. In recent years, the brigade has participated in the anti-air combat assessment organized by the Air Force 8 times, won the first place in the group 5 times, and 4 people have won the "Golden Helmet" 5 times.
On June 18, 2021, the Air Force released the news that a number of heroic units of the People's Air Force were equipped with J-20 fighters, announcing the rebirth of this heroic unit. "Fight bravely, indestructible", for more than 70 years, the "ace" gene of fighting for the first place has been integrated into their blood. Today (January 17), along with the reporter's camera, get a close look at the actual combat training site of this ace unit.
At a certain airfield of the Air Force, four J-20 fighters slid out of the shed one after another. In the training that night, they were grouped in pairs, attacking and defending each other's red and blue opponents, and training in night air combat courses. This was the first night flight training since the start of the brigade's new year's training, and the pilots did not adapt to the adjustment time, and the first night training entered the actual combat air combat competition.
In the air battle, two blue fighters approached the defensive area of the red side as the attacking side. The fighters of the two sides fought each other in an aerial battle beyond the visual range, and the game was fierce. Subsequently, the red and blue fighters attacked and defended each other, and the second round of air battles was launched continuously.
As soon as they stepped off the plane, the pilots immediately made a review and evaluation of the gains and losses of the air battle. Subsequently, the pilots flew the fighter planes into the air again, using new tactics to carry out a new round of offensive and air defense warfare.
Since the change of uniforms, this brigade has resolutely implemented the concept of leading training with combat and promoting war with training, and has always proceeded from difficult and strict training to actual combat, so as to promote the deep coupling between combat and training. This is a recent system attack and defense exercise organized by a certain air defense base of the Air Force, and two J-20 fighters of a certain brigade of the Air Force Aviation Corps responded to the attack of many "enemy aircraft" with the cooperation of ground guidance and radar, which required the pilots of the J-20 fighter to give full play to the advantages of the system and platform in air combat.
Under the support of the system, two J-20 fighters and ground guidance units successfully shot down the "enemy aircraft" that attacked.
Under the leadership of Brigade Commander Li Ling, the brigade made every effort to build an elite strike force integrated into the system, a backbone backbone of major tasks, and a vanguard leading force for transformation and leapfrogging.
Li Ling, brigade commander of a certain brigade of the Air Force Aviation Corps: The improvement of our combat effectiveness has made the motherland peaceful, peaceful and stable, and please reassure the people of the whole country that we have been struggling.
The rapid development of the J-20 fighter in the past 11 years confirms the rapid improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Air Force. So, compared with the previous fighters, what are the characteristics and advantages of the J-20?
Compared with the third-generation fighters in active service, the J-20, a new generation of domestic stealth fighters, has good stealth performance, excellent maneuverability and high situational awareness.
Another feature of the J-20 fighter that has attracted much attention is stealth, thus having the advantages of discovering the enemy first, firing the enemy first, destroying the enemy first, and disengaging the enemy first.
In addition, the J-20 fighter also has the characteristics of high situational awareness, and the fuselage is equipped with a large number of sensors, which greatly improves the performance of the aircraft, enabling it to integrate and integrate all aspects of information, providing support for pilots to make situation decisions.
Liang Wenzhao, a pilot of a certain brigade of the Air Force Aviation Corps: A very modern kind of aircraft, compared to other aircraft we flew before, can provide us with the ability to make a comprehensive judgment.
Li Ling, brigade commander of a certain brigade of the Air Force Aviation Corps: Because the entire flight control system is doing a very good job, it will make you think more about the situation and make decisions in the air.
The J-20 fighter with advanced performance has put forward higher requirements for pilots, and pilots have also formulated corresponding training plans according to the characteristics of the fighters.
Recently, at a certain airfield of the Air Force, several J-20 fighters took off in turn. Xu Yinhui, who recently modified the J-20 fighter, completed his first flight training of the new year.
Xu Yinhui, pilot of a certain brigade of the Air Force Aviation Corps: I experienced the good control quality of this aircraft in the air, including good performance, and then returned to the field to land smoothly at the end, and I suddenly felt enlightened in my heart.
Xu Yinhui's unit is the "Strong Army Pioneer Flying Brigade", which has been flying J-11B fighters to guard the blue sky of the motherland. Among them, the pilots who have completed the modification of the J-20 fighter are mainly "post-90s", and to fly the J-20 to the blue sky, they must have a stronger physical load resistance.
Li Ling, commander of a brigade of the Air Force Aviation Corps: Especially in strength training, the strength of the muscles should be improved, so that the blood can be kept at a high level of circulation and operation, and black vision, gray vision or fainting situations in the air can be prevented.
From the third-generation aircraft to the fourth-generation aircraft, pilots must complete theoretical learning, simulator operation and other assessments before they can truly fly the J-20 to soar in the blue sky. In the face of the new model, Brigade Commander Li Ling formulated strict modification standards, and even the specific actions of boarding were standardized.
For pilots, flying the J-20 into the blue sky is just the beginning, and the stealth performance and high situational awareness of the J-20 fighter allow the pilot to no longer be just the executor of tactics, but also the decision-maker of tactics.
Liang Wenzhao, pilot of a certain brigade of the Air Force Aviation Corps: The motherland has handed over such a good fighter plane to you, and you must show your achievements, not just fly well, but also have such a responsibility to fight and win the battle with this sharp weapon in your hand.
