Video | Guarding the War Eagle as it Soars into the Sky! Exploring the Behind-the-Scenes Story of Fighter Jets Taking Off

How rigorous does the process of launching a warplane need to be? Does the runway cleaning have to be divided into several teams? A reporter from the main station takes you behind the scenes of the warplane's takeoff story.

Comprehensive and three-dimensional cleaning

Creating a safe takeoff and landing space for warplanes

At a certain unit of the Southern Theater Air Force

Before each flight training begins

The ground support personnel

Are the first to enter for runway inspections

During runway cleaning

The strong blowers and sweepers are in the "first team"

Using high-pressure airflow

To sweep the runway over a large area

The battery vehicles are in the "second team"

Once the strong magnetic suction devices on both sides of the vehicle are lowered

They can adsorb metal foreign objects

Finally

Manual inspections are still required

The soldiers carefully search the center of the runway

Not even a small bug

Will be overlooked

In addition

Facing the birds that may appear in the air at any time

The support personnel use bird-repelling drones

Greatly improving work efficiency

Accurate meteorological information

Is key to formulating and implementing flight plans

Powerful meteorological support

Gives pilots the confidence to face

Complex weather conditions

This requires meteorological support personnel to make precise judgments

Releasing hydrogen balloons with thermal resistors

Can detect

Temperature, air pressure, and humidity in the atmosphere

The forecasters will use the collected data

To forecast the next day's flight missions

Comprehensive maintenance and timely repairs

Keep the warplanes in optimal condition

After the warplanes safely "return to the nest"

The maintenance personnel

Begin the cleaning and maintenance work on the aircraft

Warplanes deployed in humid environments

Are constantly subjected to the test of corrosion

When moisture and salt

Enter the aluminum alloy skin of the aircraft

Corrosion can easily form on the aircraft parts

The rust removal and anti-rust treatment of the aircraft

Is not as simple as just holding a spray gun and a bucket of paint

From cleaning to preparing agents

To re-sealing

The maintenance personnel continuously explore and research new methods

The dazzling flight path of the steel warplanes

Cannot be separated from the behind-the-scenes support of

"Invisible wings"

They use their daily dedication

To perfect the mundane tasks

Guarding the warplanes as they pierce the sky

Escorting every thunderous strike
