Rain Curtain Strike, Sea and Air Target Capture!
Iron wings formation, coastal assault
82nd Group Army of the Central Theater Command
A live-fire exercise at sea
Unfolded under low clouds and heavy rain
Multiple types of helicopters in mixed formation, coordinated operations
Refining all-weather sea and air strike capabilities under complex weather conditions
At four in the morning, maintenance personnel battled the rain
Carefully carried out full-process support before takeoff
Quickly completed fuel loading, ammunition mounting
And equipment re-inspection tasks
“Ready for takeoff!”
As the tower issued the command
The pilots pushed the throttle, pulled the stick, and stepped on the rudder
Several armed helicopters loaded with live ammunition
Broke through the rain curtain and ascended into the sky
Launched an attack from the coastal field airport
Directly heading for the designated sea area
The aircraft advanced at ultra-low altitude over the sea
Concealed operations for maritime penetration
Relying on onboard observation equipment
Quickly searched under the cover of rain and fog
Accurately identified surface targets
Upon receiving the order, they immediately launched an assault
The pilots quickly corrected their posture and established the attack route
Multiple types of munitions fired in succession, alternating strikes
The entire process of strikes was tightly coordinated, with smooth switching of munitions
The rhythm of attack and defense was efficient and orderly
Through the rain, the iron wings were sharpened, and elite soldiers were forged in the sea and sky
This live-fire exercise at sea
Was organized entirely under complex weather conditions
Using extreme environments to simulate real battlefields
Further refined the pilots' tactical and technical levels
Effectively tested the crew's ability to carry out assault missions in all weather
Laid a solid foundation for the troops' all-domain mobility and sea-air coordinated operations
