"Comprehensive air combat special training originated in 2012. It is neither a flight competition nor a regular training. The scores have no meaning here, even if you win the first place."

Colonel Lin Jian waited for the last HNA student to sit down, immediately took over the conversation, stared at everyone with sharp eyes, and slowly talked about the origin and content of air combat special training:

"Special training has only one function. Through highly realistic and practical training content, you can transform from pilots to combatants and accumulate tactical experience so that you can survive in future actual combat. The entire special training is consistent with the purpose of the US Air Force Red Flag Army exercise training. However, only one of us in the world has opened practical training for the higher education aircraft stage."

Red Flag Military Exercise!

This is the US Air Force's regular air combat military exercises held every year. It is the largest in the world and is also a holy place in the minds of countless foreign pilots. Air force pilots from more than 25 countries participate in the performance every year, and hundreds of high-performance fighter jets of various types.

Of course, it does not include our own Air Force pilots.

The core training goal of the Red Flag Military Exercise is to maximize the pilot's tactical level and combat will through the characteristics of high reality and closeness to actual combat.

The US military's red flag and its own free air battle, the training targets aimed at by both sides are completely consistent.

In order to train and train the best pilots, our side was even more crazy. In the second year of the establishment of free air combat, it opened up comprehensive special training for the higher education aircraft stage for the first time. Through the two higher education aircraft academies of Shiyuan and HNA, the most elite flight students were gathered to carry out special training.

The only one in the world in the air combat special training during the higher education aircraft stage is that there is no semicolon, and even the US military does not do this.

Let students who have just mastered the flight skills of higher education aircraft engage in the most dangerous air combat characteristics? No matter whether the US military or the air force of various countries that claim to be first-class, they have never thought about it.

Lin Jian's voice echoed in the closed combat room and entered everyone's ears.

At this moment, all fourteen flight students in the combat room had straightened their backs, serious faces, and focused on listening to what Lin Jian explained.

"As we all know, air combat is a war situation for air supremacy, and fighter jets are the main means to eliminate enemy aircraft. Air combat is divided into single-aircraft air combat and formation air combat according to the force of participating in the battle. It is divided into four types: ultra-low altitude and low altitude, hollow and high altitude, and according to the combat time, it is divided into daytime air combat and night air combat."

Lin Jian stared at everyone, his voice was stable, and he said slowly: "According to meteorological conditions, it is divided into air combat under simple meteorological conditions and air combat under complex meteorological conditions. According to the attack distance, close combat and over-visual air combat can be divided into close combat. Modern air combat integrates all single categories, complex and comprehensively emphasizes all-weather, all airspace, and all types of 'three-in-one' elements."

When everyone heard what Lin Jian explained, they silently opened the tactical tablet, tapped on the virtual keyboard on the screen, and recorded the relevant knowledge and tactical information.

Modern air combat is completely different from traditional air combat. It has many types and is very complex. It not only needs to take into account multiple uses, but also emphasizes comprehensiveness.

"Before the 1980s, traditional air combat used close combat as the main air combat style. With the continuous improvement and development of airborne radar, electronic components, fire control systems and weapon systems, modern air combat with precisely guided weapons and missiles as the main strike methods, the main air combat style is beyond the visual range strike."

Lin Jian, who served as the instructor, continued: "Zhou Hai, what are the main steps and core ideas of modern air combat? There is no need to stand up."

"The main steps of air combat consist of four stages: search, catch the enemy, attack and exit the battle. Modern air combat takes the Ooda Boyd cycle as the core combat idea." Zhou Hai heard this without a slight pause and immediately gave the answers to the two questions. His words were calm and steady: "The enemy was discovered first, and the discovery was destroyed."

"That's right."

Lin Jian was slightly surprised, nodded with satisfaction, praised, and looked at Wang Zhuyu sitting next to him: "Wang Zhuyu, talk about your views on close combat and over-visual strikes."

"Close-range combat is still an inevitable and important type of air combat, just like a cannon equipped with a fighter, which is indispensable and mainly relies on the pilot's own strength." Hearing this, Wang Zhuyu sat upright on the seat, with a thoughtful look on his face, and lightly opened his lips, giving his own opinions on the two main air combat modes:

"Over-visual range strike is the main attack method at present, mainly relies on aircraft and weapon system performance. Modern air-to-air missiles have the ability to launch and adopt mainstream guidance modes such as active radar guidance and infrared imaging guidance, as well as large off-axis fighting missiles + helmet aiming combinations, which are the first sequence strike method in modern air combat."

Among the students, HNA students Yang Min and Wu Qiang heard these words and were a little surprised. They looked at each other and looked at Wang Zhuyu differently.

The ooda Boyd cycle and main steps mentioned by Zhou Hai are the main air combat theoretical knowledge that is encountered in the advanced education aircraft stage, and everyone knows it.

However, Wang Zhuyu's explanation of the two air combat modes is a bit amazing, and he integrates his understanding of air combat.

Not only the students of the Hai Academy, but even Bai Tangfei and Yi Xuewu were a little surprised by Wang Zhuyu's answer.

"Wang Zhuyu said it very well and had a thorough understanding. Close combat mainly relies on the pilot's own strength, while over-visual strikes rely on aircraft performance and weapon systems. The two air combat modes are equally important, and this is also the core content of this special training."

Lin Jian nodded affirmatively, glanced at the students who were paying attention to Wang Zhuyu, and his face was calm and he said with a steady expression: "I believe everyone knows the ooda cycle and the main steps that Zhou Hai said, but you should pay more attention to Zhou Hai's proposal of 'discovery first'. The most critical link in the current air combat situation is to discover the enemy first, whether it can discover the enemy first, and that life and death are almost determined in the deadly air combat."

The enemy discovers first is the latest combat concept in the air combat situation. In the air combat process, the enemy discovers first, and the battlefield can be transformed into a short-term one-way transparency, and then make adjustments and decisions, gain the initiative, and take steps forward.

The battlefield is one-way transparent, which is a terrible military term in modern warfare. The advantageous side will form a comprehensive suppressive advantage. For the disadvantaged side, they have almost no secret reservations. The most typical case is the Iraqi army in the Gulf War.

In air combat, discovering the enemy first is enough to form such a battlefield with one-way transparency. When you see the enemy first, you will be prepared, which means fighting a prepared battle, while the enemy will fight an unprepared battle.

"The enemy first discovered?"

Everyone who has been connected to modern air combat concepts and models for the first time carefully pondered Lin Jian’s words.
