Watch the "Flying Shark" Skim the Sea, Practice Offense and Defense Together
▲ Fighter jets entering the takeoff runway
Recently, on the shores of the Bohai Sea
the Naval Aviation University’s certain regiment
conducted low-altitude flight training over the sea
▲ Fighter jets entering the takeoff runway
▲ Dual aircraft takeoff
“Bearing ××, distance ××, suspected target detected!”
After receiving the report from the command post
the lead aircraft followed the established tactical plan
and directed the wingman to proceed for reconnaissance
The wingman immediately lowered altitude for covert flight
and began searching for the target
Subsequently, the lead aircraft quickly pinpointed the target's location
and the formation changed its attack direction
▲ Dual aircraft formation heading to the training airspace
▲ Fighter jets conducting tactical maneuvers
Just after arriving at the designated maritime airspace
the "enemy" positions activated electronic interference
The formation adjusted its tactical formation
flying at ultra-low altitude over the sea
to evade "enemy" radar searches
With close cooperation from the wingman
the lead aircraft quickly captured the target ahead
climbing, diving, attacking...
several maneuvers executed in one go
successfully "destroying" the target
▲ Fighter jets conducting tactical maneuvers
The tower flight commander introduced
that they set a challenging and realistic background
to explore effective methods of human-equipment integration
under high-temperature conditions
and to organize and collect training and support data
to provide a basis for improving training quality and effectiveness
▲ Fighter jets conducting simulated landing training
▲ Fighter jets conducting simulated landing training
Under the scorching sun
the fighter jets completed simulated landing training in succession
The officers and soldiers showed no signs of relaxation
After the first round of flights ended
the participating pilots immediately entered the flight debriefing room
to identify shortcomings and weaknesses
and summarize experiences and lessons
to prepare for subsequent training
▲ Support personnel meticulously performing aircraft maintenance work
After the fighter jets were parked on the tarmac
the support personnel quickly conducted
detailed inspections of the aircraft
oxygen charging, ventilation, refueling
…
all support processes were carried out in an orderly manner
