"Sea and Air 'Light Cavalry', Training Soldiers Day and Night"
In recent days,
the Navy of the Eastern Theater Command
has closely aligned with real combat requirements
and organized
multiple sessions and batches of cross-day-and-night flight training
to hone the troops' rapid response and joint combat capabilities.
Before takeoff,
the participating officers and soldiers conduct detailed inspections and adjustments of the aircraft,
checking for safety hazards.
The pilots check and verify flight parameters item by item,
preparing in a tense and orderly manner.
“Take off!”
With the tower's command issued,
fighter jets soar into the sky,
circling, maneuvering, and climbing,
forming a formation to head towards the target air and sea area.
During the flight implementation phase,
the participating personnel precisely control the aircraft,
relying on data links to transmit battlefield information in real-time.
Each crew conducts formation coordination, simulated search and rescue,
and emergency response training based on the current environmental situation.
As the phase of training concludes,
the fighter jets return one after another,
and the ground support personnel quickly carry out
fuel replenishment, equipment checks, and other tasks,
making thorough preparations for night training.
As night falls,
a new round of flight training continues,
with several aircraft
arriving at the target training airspace
to conduct low-altitude navigation, ground-based landing, and other training.
During night flight training,
the crew members need to overcome
low visibility, flight illusions, and other adverse factors,
working closely with ground command
to accurately control airspeed and flight path,
and correct flight posture.
As the last fighter jet lands,
the cross-day-and-night flight training concludes successfully.
The maintenance personnel receive the aircraft, check, and maintain it,
in an orderly manner,
preparing for the fighter jets to take off again.
The "light cavalry" of the sea and air is always ready for battle.
