Sliding, accelerating... In the darkness, accompanied by the sound of roaring, the Y-20 soared into the sky. On the eve of the Spring Festival, the reporter walked into the airport tower of a certain regiment of the Central Theater Command Air Force and witnessed a night flight training of "Kunpeng". Amidst the intense roar of low altitude high-speed departure and combat climb, training courses quietly unfold one by one. The reporter learned that during the night training that day alone, the team arranged 9 key and difficult courses, which were just a routine part of the crew training. For us, every flight training is a battle attack, and everyone must give their all Watching the "Kunpeng" fly into the night sky, the leader of the regiment told reporters that the party committee of the regiment continues to strengthen the "practice as soon as possible" ideology, vigorously focuses on practical, scientific, and refined flight training, and continuously improves the training efficiency within each flight. The installation of 'Kunpeng' is one of the fruitful achievements of reforming and strengthening the military. Reforming, verifying, improving, and forming combat effectiveness at the same time is the mission, responsibility, and requirement to fly a new path on the new journey of reform and transformation When it comes to the struggle in recent years, the words of a cadre on the tower are full of confidence. With the rapid iteration and upgrading of the hardware structure and software facilities of the Y-20, the regiment promptly established and improved a series of systems such as follow-up research, follow-up testing, and follow-up training to help pilots quickly grasp and adapt to changes. This cadre told reporters that the team has established innovative groups such as the "Kunpeng Wings" software development group and the 3D printing interest group, which have achieved many research results. Not only have they reduced the cost of actual installation, but they have also helped "Kunpeng" steadily take every step from "airworthiness" to "combat readiness". In recent years, the regiment has been targeting the needs of future wars, constantly innovating and exploring new models of combat force construction and application, gradually completing the role transformation from supporting flights to supporting operations, and has carried out tasks such as airdrop and airborne operations, cross-border rescue, and welcoming the remains of volunteer martyrs back to China multiple times. The arrival of the 'Kunpeng' has reshaped us, and we must also explore, become proficient in, and spread our wings in one mission after another. With the attitude of 'preparing for battle tonight', we must engage in military training and preparation, and strive to achieve the centenary goal of building the army as scheduled The important task of building a strong and prosperous army in this era makes the officers and soldiers of the regiment dare not slack off in the slightest. Over the years, with a sense of urgency to submit papers by ringing the bell, everyone has worked hard day and night, holding up the "Kunpeng" and soaring high. Kunpeng flaps its wings, they accelerate reform and transformation - the night is deep, stars twinkle in the sky, becoming brighter and brighter. Stepping out of the tower and gazing at the gradually rising Yun-20, Captain Jin Jian, who was about to depart, had a myriad of thoughts. This first level captain is one of the first senior pilots in the regiment to retrofit the "Kunpeng" aircraft. He has been at the forefront of many major missions and witnessed important moments in the development of Chinese Air Force transport planes. Many years ago, when Jin Jian graduated and joined this unit, he flew a medium-sized transport plane. Due to the high physical exertion required to operate the control device, he often sweats profusely while piloting the fighter jet. The inclusion of 'Kunpeng' provides a new platform and stage for enhancing the combat effectiveness of the troops, and also puts forward higher standard requirements for us Jin Jian and his comrades understood that as the number and difficulty of tasks increased significantly, the amount of knowledge needed to be mastered surged, and the burden on their shoulders became heavier. In the face of the challenges brought by transformation and upgrading, the officers and soldiers of the regiment, with a string of impressive numbers, flew out of the acceleration of Chinese soldiers in the new era and wrote a qualified answer sheet for building a strong military. Kunpeng flies vigorously, accelerating their integration into the system - on the radar screen, each cursor representing the Y-20 moves rapidly in the designated airspace, and various complex training courses are still ongoing. On the tower, the commander pointed to the situational awareness map on the screen and introduced that the battlefield situational awareness system can effectively integrate multidimensional information, gather various states, data, and signals of participating aircraft in the air, and provide strong support for the training of transport aircraft systems. In this group, 'system' is a high-frequency word. The crew members were deeply moved by their experience of participating in a system training organized by their superiors. At that time, after completing the scheduled training tasks, the regiment took the initiative to propose adding new training content to the superiors, taking the opportunity to explore and innovate the "Yun-20+" tactics, and obtained approval from the superiors. Through this' battle ', all officers and soldiers of the regiment have deepened their understanding of their role in the system, and have also enabled other units to see more clearly the capabilities and role of the Y-20. What should we do if we are discovered by enemy planes in future air superiority operations Once, the commander of the regiment raised this question at a meeting promoting innovation in grassroots combat theory, asking everyone to use systematic thinking to think and answer. Pilots are using their brains and trying their best to find answers, proposing countermeasures that extend from themselves to other units and from the air to the ground. Under everyone's research and exploration, as well as collective intelligence research and development, a batch of new tactics have been put into training and practice. Integrate into the system and win the battlefield. Flight instructor Zhang Lei told reporters that they participated in the Air Force's "Golden Flying Dart" system exam for the first time and stood out from multiple aircraft models and dozens of reference crews, winning the "Golden Flying Dart" and "Outstanding Unit" awards in one fell swoop. As the night deepened, 'Kunpeng' finished training and returned home. At this moment, the flashing lights are particularly quiet and peaceful. The tower commander pointed to the distance and said to the reporter, "My hometown is in that direction, and we often pass by from above during training." This steel man, who has traveled across several continents and regions and has been tested multiple times in major missions, spoke with deep affection. The greatest wish of a soldier is national peace and security Looking at the commander, the reporter was deeply moved and took over the conversation. At this moment, several clusters of fireworks bloomed in the distance, illuminating the night sky in an instant. In a blink of an eye, it's Chinese New Year again! "The commanders and pilots on site exclaimed that time had passed too quickly, and there was always a sense of urgency lingering in their hearts. As midnight approached, "Kunpeng" landed smoothly and returned to its nest smoothly. The end of a training session is the beginning of another 'battle'. In the tower evaluation room, participating pilots sparked a "brainstorming" session during the review, answering questions one by one and generating a batch of new ideas and thoughts. The next night, one by one, the flight crew boarded the plane again, and one after another, the "Kunpeng" flapped its wings. With the experience and thinking from the previous flight, the pilots further refined their technical and tactical movements, and refined new flight plans. A single stroke of the sun's arch has no end, but if its contribution is not great, it will eventually be donated into the sea, "said a flight instructor with poetic meaning. The improvement of combat effectiveness is achieved through day after day of rigorous training and flying. Under the starry sky, witnessing the "Kunpeng" soaring with iron wings, the reporter was deeply moved. Looking back suddenly, the significance of Chinese soldiers' struggle and protection lies in the lights of countless homes. (New Society)
