The dawn is slightly dew, the autumn wind is gradually rising, the engine of a certain airport in the south is roaring, and multiple fighter jets from a certain brigade of the Air Force are ready to take off. Timed takeoff! ”With the command of the commander, the fighter jets took off one by one, and a round the clock aerial refueling flight training began. After taking off, the fighter jet quickly formed a tactical formation and flew to the mission airspace in a concealed manner. During the flight, the formation suddenly encountered strong turbulence and the fighter jets experienced severe turbulence. Under the command of the pilot, all fighter pilots remained calm and composed, adjusting their formation and quickly evacuating. After successfully overcoming the influence of strong air currents, the fighter jets in the formation reassembled and formed a refueling reserve formation, advancing towards the refueling airspace. Above the clouds, battle eagles line up in formation. After arriving at the target airspace, the refueling machine was prepared and slowly extended the refueling hose, followed closely by two receiving aircraft. Affected by the airflow, the cone sleeve at the end of the hose keeps shaking. The pilot of the oil powered aircraft finely adjusts the flight attitude and steadily controls the aircraft to maintain optimal altitude and speed. Amidst a series of command sounds such as' maintain speed difference 'and' prepare for docking ', the receiver kept approaching the refueling machine. After a crisp "click" sound, the refueling probe and cone sleeve were stably docked, and the refueling operation proceeded in an orderly manner. After refueling, the receiving aircraft quickly detached, and multiple fighter jets subsequently entered the formation to conduct multiple batches of refueling training. Aerial refueling is like a 'needle threading' in the cloud, which requires high flying skills and psychological qualities from pilots. ”The flight instructor of the brigade, Li Songbai, told reporters that in recent years, they have continuously strengthened their aviation science learning, cockpit internships, and ground simulation training, constantly consolidating the basic skills of pilots. At the same time, they vigorously carry out pairing and mentoring activities, organizing senior pilots to provide one-on-one guidance for young pilots, continuously improving their practical abilities. After the refueling training, which includes low altitude penetration, electromagnetic countermeasures, and multi-target interception, the fighter squadron continued to conduct high-intensity tactical training. The fuel consumption was high, and the squadron immediately carried out aerial refueling again. As night falls, fighter jets roar. Pilot Tong Ruxin successfully entered the refueling position while piloting the fighter jet. At night, the visibility is low and the visual distance is short, which easily leads to flying illusions. Tong Ruxin is particularly cautious in every operation. Affected by crosswinds and low altitude turbulence, the fuel dispenser hose sways unpredictably. He strictly followed the action essentials and used a "small amplitude, high frequency" method to precisely control the rudder, constantly correcting the heading deviation caused by crosswinds. In the darkness, fighter jets kept approaching refueling planes, with 3-meter, 2-meter, 1-meter... oil probes docked with cone sleeves, and aviation fuel was quickly injected into the fighter jets. The night gradually darkens, and the sea and sky merge into one. Fighter jets are like falcons in the dark night, successfully completing the "needle threading" in the cloud time and time again. The training is over, the Eagle returns, and the participating pilots are tirelessly conducting a review. The reporter saw in the evaluation room that pilots analyzed flight data, evaluated control quality, and formulated improvement measures for deficiencies one by one. As an important means to extend the endurance time and improve the combat radius, aerial refueling can effectively enhance the long-range combat capability of fighter jets. "The leader of the brigade told reporters that they will continue to strengthen aerial refueling training, constantly hone the combat capability of the troops, and ensure that they can take off at any time and win in the long air.
