82 Reconnaissance Pod

The next morning, after breakfast, Chen Fei and Li Donghai began to carry out today's reconnaissance mission.

Although the superiors did not believe that they could find anything, for now, the superiors did not come up with a good idea. Moreover, the pilots at the base were nervous and could not find Lao Fei who could perform this mission, so the two of them still carried out this reconnaissance mission as planned.

After the two men received the mission in the briefing room, they walked towards the airport in a battle dress.

The two fighter jets were already driving and ready.

Today's mission is slightly different from yesterday, so today's fighter jets are also slightly different from yesterday. The biggest difference is that Chen Fei's J-10c has a reconnaissance pod under the belly, while Li Donghai's fighter jet is hung with a rocket launcher underneath.

The J-10c is a multi-purpose fighter. Depending on the mission, different mountings can be selected. If you want to perform air-to-air missions, you can load more air-to-air missiles. If you want to perform ground attacks, you can load air-to-ground missiles and rockets. In addition, if you have a reconnaissance pod, you can perform reconnaissance tasks. If you have an electronic pod, you can perform electronic combat.

The reconnaissance pod is used on modern combat aircraft. It can gain the advantage of aiming on the battlefield in various air-ground missions performed.

As reconnaissance images develop into digital images, imaging sensors installed in pods play an increasingly important role in maritime environments.

Airborne reconnaissance is the most commonly used method to obtain high-resolution images of the battlefield.

The newly launched reconnaissance pod allows modern combat aircraft to send high-definition images to the ground in real time, so as to satisfactorily detect, identify and determine the location of enemy targets from a long distance, evaluate the damage effect on the target, and carry out secondary strikes when necessary.

It can be found from various international projects that early film methods have now been replaced by brand new sensor technology.

These new technologies include new computer algorithms, higher data transmission speeds, complex communication chains, photoelectric sensors that work in visible or infrared bands. Remote indirect photography (lorop) equipment, telescope optical systems, large-size focal plane arrays and high quantum efficiency detectors all have good long-distance detection performance. These sensors play the same role in various tasks such as battlefield search and rescue (CSAR), intelligence collection, and special operations (specwar).

The recent conflict between Afghan and Iraq has further highlighted the increasing significance of modern airborne reconnaissance sensors. In March 2002, the commander of the U.S. Navy Pacific Command, Dennis Blair, told the U.S. Army, Navy, Air and Air Force Senate Committee that his commander had not provided enough intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft to meet combat needs, and that "the collection rate of required intelligence information is low and dangerous." Other U.S. military and many NATO countries have expressed the same view. Therefore, although drones have successfully performed some tactical reconnaissance missions through small optoelectronic and radar band sensors and will continue, manned combat aircraft are still an important resource for obtaining high-resolution battlefield images.

Chen Fei's 722 machine belly is equipped with a domestic reconnaissance pod.

Chen Fei looked at it while inspecting the plane. It was not the most advanced model. Of course, this is understandable. At this time, the most advanced weapons and equipment must be given priority to the troops on the first line of defense, such as the J-20, the most advanced reconnaissance pod and electronic pod, etc. However, even if this is not the most advanced model, it is much more advanced than ordinary reconnaissance equipment.

Chen Fei boarded the boarding ladder, and after making all preparations, he called out sign language to the ground crew. The ground crew waved the small flag and signaled that Chen Fei could slide out. Chen Fei then used the encrypted channel: "The tower is ready to turn and ask to slide out."

His voice had just fallen, and Li Donghai on the other side also said, "Tower, be ready to turn two turns, please slide out!"

"Breaking the ball, you have hung up the reconnaissance pod today. The weight of the plane is increased, so pay attention to the takeoff distance!"

"I understand with each other!" Chen Fei replied.

I hung an extra reconnaissance pod today, and the weight has increased a lot, with a weight of about 900 kilograms. The sliding distance must be slightly extended. In addition, the airspeed must be slightly increased. Of course, it is okay to directly start the afterburner, but it is not a state of emergency now. It is better to start the afterburner and charge the fuel, so it is better to save some!

The tower reported the weather parameters and then said: "Turn around, be ready to push the accelerator!"

"I understand!" Chen Fei replied, then loosened the brake and pushed the accelerator lever. The fighter slowly slid out of the hangar, slid forward for a distance, turned to the right, and entered the main runway.

When he arrived at the entrance of the main runway, Chen Fei asked for instructions again. After receiving permission, he loosened the brakes and pushed the throttle valve hard, and the aviation gasoline rushed into the combustion chamber. In an instant, the huge engine roar exploded at the airport.

The fighter plane ran faster and faster. When the sliding distance exceeded the shortest sliding distance of fifty meters, Chen Fei looked at the airspeed gauge and the speed of the aircraft had reached his psychological position, so he decisively pulled the rod.

boom--

The fighter jet rushed into the blue sky at a 45-degree angle.

The takeoff was very smooth.

In the tower, a group of on-duty personnel holding their breath and concentrating attentively breathed a sigh of relief.

If this kind of mission was not the turn of a new flight like Chen Fei to perform, even if he wanted to perform it, he would have to train for several days alone. But now it is wartime, and the situation is special and there is no time to take care of it. So even though he knows it is dangerous, Chen Fei and the others still have to carry out the mission. During the war, only those pilots who can withstand the test are truly excellent pilots. Although there is no accident at all, they dare not take any risks. The base is not welcome.

Li Donghai rushed into the sky first. Chen Fei's plane was heavier after all, so when he took off and reached the two thousand meters of airspace, the two planes began to fly in formation and flew towards the reconnaissance route formulated by the superiors.

After arriving at the predetermined airspace, Chen Fei used an encrypted channel to tell the tower: "Tower, I have reached the predetermined position, and request to descend to start reconnaissance!"

"Come on two sides, you can lower the altitude and start reconnaissance. Pay attention to maintaining the airplane posture, be careful of the valley airflow, turn two times, and be careful of the alert! It's over."

"I understand!"

"I understand!"

Chen Fei pressed the height below the pole, and he lowered the plane to about one thousand meters above the ground, and then leveled it. At the same time, he opened the speed plate and started to slow down.

While he asked the reconnaissance pod to start reconnaissance, he probed his head and watched around and reconnaissed with his naked eyes.

The data collected from the reconnaissance pod is transmitted back to the base in time, and the base's intelligence staff immediately make a judgment on it. If a suspicious target is found, they will notify Chen Fei to conduct reconnaissance again.

But unfortunately, Chen Fei and Li Donghai flew all the reconnaissance routes, but did not find any suspicious targets.

This reconnaissance mission ended in failure.

Chen Fei didn't give up.

He always believed that the wreckage of the balloon must have been taken away, so there would be no doubt that there would be alien armed forces nearby. Besides, someone would have to release the balloon of high altitude reconnaissance.

Therefore, if these hidden alien armed forces are not found for a day, their base will be in peace, and the space safety of the motherland will be in danger at all times, because it does not take long to get to the motherland's airspace defense line from here. If you open the after-force, you will arrive soon.

"Tower, I requested to conduct cruise reconnaissance again, it's finished!"

"You can reconnaissance again, but there is not much time left, please hurry up!"

"I understand!" Chen Fei replied. This time, in order to ensure better reconnaissance effect, he did not hesitate to drive the fighter plane to a low altitude.

But even so, they still did not find anything after the reconnaissance, did not see any shadow of alien armed forces, did not find anything in the reconnaissance pod, and Chen Fei's naked eyes did not find anything!
