Recently
A certain regiment of the Naval Aviation of the Eastern Theater Command
Closely aligned with actual combat requirements
Organized live-fire training at sea
To hone the troops' rapid response and precision strike capabilities
▲ Aircraft taking off.
In the morning
Several helicopters were neatly lined up
As the tower issued commands
The aircraft immediately formed a combat formation
And stealthily advanced towards the target sea area
▲ Aircraft flying in formation.
▲ Aircraft advancing.
“Locked by ‘enemy’ radar!”
During the flight
The crew suddenly received an enemy situation report from the commander
Faced with an unexpected situation
The pilot quickly dispersed the original formation
And adopted ultra-low altitude sea-skimming flight
Using the waves and mist for cover to rapidly advance
▲ Sea-skimming flight.
Upon reaching the attack position
The crew quickly locked onto the target
Adjusted the shooting parameters
The pilot decisively pressed the launch button
The missile broke through the air, heading straight for the target
▲ Launching missiles.
After completing the live-fire exercise
The aircraft immediately adjusted its course
Rushed to the designated sea area to rendezvous with the vessels
And transitioned to subsequent training tasks
▲ Landing training.
▲ Coordinated landing training.
