Not long ago

reporters from the Central Broadcasting Station visited an aerial powerhouse

where the first air-to-air missile was test-fired

with major national assets like the J-10 and J-20

being finalized for deployment to the troops here...

During this visit, the reporters experienced

multiple rounds of large formation system confrontation training in one day

multi-type joint flight, man-machine integration

"Training is for combat"

At an Air Force airport

J-20, J-16, and J-10C

three types of multiple aircraft

conducted cross-day-and-night air combat confrontation training

He Jianfei from a certain Air Force unit introduced

that they have now achieved multi-type joint flight

allowing for seamless switching

and man-machine integration

The weather in the desert at night changes rapidly

clear skies suddenly turn to rain

but there was no news

to change the flight plans

the training tasks remained tight and intense

He Jianfei said

"In combat, it’s impossible to have good weather all the time

we need to adapt to training under complex weather conditions

training is for combat"

Multi-type equipped with "virtual soldier" platform

Pilots on the ground can also join the "air combat"

When He Jianfei flew the aircraft into the blue sky

the pilots on the ground were not idle

his apprentice Wu Ningbo

was controlling a virtual aircraft on the ground

also joining the air combat

This virtual aircraft platform is called "virtual soldier"

the master and apprentice coordinated air and ground confrontation

completing the virtual-real tactical cooperation

Wu Ningbo introduced

"Now our technology can fully achieve

the interconnectivity of virtual and real between air and ground

allowing our tactics to be more boldly developed and created on the 'virtual soldier' platform"

Currently

the J-20, J-16, and J-10C

are all equipped with the "virtual soldier" platform

meeting the practical needs of joint training for these three types of aircraft

Wu Ningbo's achievements are particularly impressive

He graduated from flight school in 2022 and transitioned to the J-10C

and in less than a year after graduation

he won the "Golden Helmet" in an air combat

partnering with his mentor He Jianfei

becoming the youngest "Golden Helmet" pilot in the Air Force

The master and apprentice share a common goal

to fly the best aircraft

and to fly the aircraft to the best

The People's Air Force, winning in air and space
