Battle in the Clouds! Live-Fire Ground Target Training of an Air Force Unit

【Intense Battle in the Clouds! A Certain Air Force Unit Conducts Live-Fire Ground Target Training】In early summer, the simulation training center of a certain Air Force unit is bustling with activity. Pilots are engaged in simulated exercises around live-fire ground target training, identifying shortcomings, refining tactics, and enhancing battlefield situational awareness.

The live-fire ground target training commenced as scheduled. With a command from the tower controller, fighter jets took off in succession, heading towards the target area.

Upon reaching the target airspace, the battle immediately commenced. The pilots remained calm and composed, utilizing weather conditions for cover, successfully breaching the "enemy" air defense firepower network.

In an instant, rockets shot out from beneath the wings, trailing flames as they hurtled towards the ground target area. After a thunderous roar, clouds of dust rose from the target area.

“Target hit!” The voice of the tower controller came through the radio.

Precision in the air, in-depth research on the ground. After the first round of attacks, the fighter jets returned to base. The pilots returned to the flight debriefing room, meticulously analyzing flight data videos and reviewing the attack process, optimizing subsequent training plans based on this.

As the sun began to set, the airport was once again filled with deafening roars. One after another, fighter jets soared into the sky, entering a new round of training… (Special Correspondent of the PLA Daily, Lan Shanhu, Photography Report)
