1012 Flight across the Himalayas

In the Hotan area, in a certain airport, the runways were covered with ice, but the runways in the middle were cleaned very clean, and even in this cold winter day there was a trace of white steam.

In winter on the western margin of the Republic, the temperature is extremely low, and the frozen runway is not suitable for fighter jet takeoff and landing.

The number of sprinkler trucks moved back and forth in the airport runway, constantly spraying the water in the water tank around, and then a white mist rose with a "swish" sound.

When the mist dissipates and opens the area, there is still ice on the ground, but it is no longer as thick and stiff as before.

It was not until the ice on the ground melted and the runway was filled with puddles, and these sprinkler trucks finally gave up.

"Check the fighter plane and prepare to take off! You only have five minutes. Once you miss this time, it will be even more difficult to take off..." Inside the terminal, an Iranian commander in lieutenant colonel uniform said to the pilot in the blue fighter plane that had been parked outside the hangar with a walkie-talkie.

Although these fighter jets are painted on them, they do not have the logo of any country's air force.

"These Iranians are really, and they can also think of such a method..." Seeing the fighter planes moving quickly, slowly drew onto the runway from the stoppage position, then slowly turned and stopped. Qi Hao, who came here to watch, was a little surprised.

Before sliding out of the hangar, the ground crew had conducted a comprehensive inspection of these fighter jets.

The weather conditions are good today, but it snowed not long ago. Even though the runway was cleaned, it was still frozen.

The Iranians did not wait for the snow to melt, but instead asked China to use hot water to heat and melt the ice surface of the runway.

From the beginning to now, it took more than an hour to go on a runway!

When Liu Yijiu saw the situation on the runway, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

Iranian soldiers can even surpass those of the Republic in terms of not being afraid of death.

Moreover, these soldiers who are not afraid of death are even more qualities than pilots in the Republic!

"They need to detect the performance of the fighter jet. It's not just that they are more anxious!" Taking off in such an extreme environment has very high requirements for the performance of the fighter jet.

Especially the ability to run on the ground.

Iranians are not fools, they basically cannot find such an environment in their country.

At the same time, on this plateau, the oxygen in winter is also relatively thin, and the air is even lower in temperature than when the fighter planes fly in the air, and the performance requirements for the engine are also very high.

Liu Yijiu initially hoped to wait until the weather was warmer before trading, but was rejected by the Iranians.

Both parties to this transaction were relatively anxious. Finally, a 1,500-meter runway was cleaned up by a sprinkler truck, so that the fighter could take off safely. Although this increased the takeoff distance of the fighter, it was easy to be dangerous. However, the Iranians insisted on doing so, and Liu Yijiu did not refuse. Anyway, the Iranians had already delivered the money for the five fighters. This was the Iranians' equipment.

Under the afterglow of the sunset, Iranian excellent pilots drove. These fighter planes were one by one, quickly spreading their wings to the south sky.

The F-14 Iran provided to China from here, and the tanker also came from here. This was the first place to enter the Republic's airspace. At the same time, it has now become the first point for the Republic's fighter jet exports.

"The torrent of history is finally about to change direction! These are not five fighter jets, but five little ants that block the advancement of history and make this monster change direction..." Looking at the five light blue fighter jets arranged neatly in the sky, flying towards the south, even though the weather was very cold and dripping water turned into ice, he didn't feel anything.

The western part of the Republic is inland, with extremely low temperatures in winter and sparsely populated areas. In the coldest winter and empty areas, there are basically no few people.

However, this area is different. Few people know that the area that was originally famous only because of the jade industry is that there is a military station of the Republic Air Force. In recent years, with the increasing trade with Pakistan, many areas here are military restricted areas.

In recent years, this military station has been vigorously built, and various airport equipment has been built, not even much smaller than some medium-sized military aircraft airports. However, the number of surrounding buildings is not too large. A large part of many buildings is buried on the ground, and even the military camps next to them are different from other airports.

After the fighter plane took off, the personnel on the airport began to pack up the things on both sides of the runway and headed towards the buildings not far away.

Liu Yijiu, who was sent here in person, seemed to have no coldness at all.

"It's cold outside, let's go back. It will be dark in a while. I hope the formation will not encounter any storm..." Seeing the fighter jet formation getting smaller and smaller, and finally gradually turned into a few small black dots and disappeared. Qi Hao said to Liu Yijiu, who was still looking closely at the sky in the distance, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Minister Qi, do you think our fighter jets can be safely arrived?" Although these fighter jets can fly at an altitude of 26,000 meters and cross the Himalayas, even some backward fighter jets or transport aircraft during World War II can do it, even if there is no experiment, it is possible to know that these fighter jets with better performance than the F-14 are not a problem to cross the world's highest peak.

Liu Yijiu is still worried.

What he was worried about was not that the war opportunity encountered natural disasters and problems occurred here. They prepared for this flight for many years.

Even the climatic conditions in this surrounding area are very familiar with it.

"Aren't you worried that the fighter planes will not be able to cross the Himalayas?" Qi Hao asked Liu Yijiu with a smile, "Is it true that they are worried about their performance on the battlefield?"

Liu Yijiu didn't say anything.

Instead, he still looked towards the high altitude in the distance.

Five fighter jets that took off from Hotan Airport completed the air formation in less than three thousand meters of the sky.

The ones who flew these fighter jets at least had the rank of major, and the leader was a middle-aged colonel. If the members of the test flight brigade under the Ninth Court were here, they would be able to recognize that this guy was the Iranian combat hero and their instructor, Zairi.

This person was driving the F-14 from across Iran, through Pakistan, and then flying over snow-capped mountains into China.

After arriving in China, he stayed in China and trained F-14 drivers for China.

At the same time, after completing the imitation of the F-14 in China, he became the first J-11 to fly this new type of fighter. It has a considerable difference from their F-14s and knows the fighter best.

He is now the captain of the entire formation, and all the fighter planes are obeying his orders.

After taking off from the airport and completing the formation, he ordered other fighter jets to maintain altitude, maintain the same speed as him, and pounce on the other side.

Soon, I saw the snow-capped mountain peaks coming out of the clouds in the distance!

"Please check the power!" Chinese fighter jets, engines, are the most worrying issue for him. There were too many problems in China's aerial tests of engines, and he witnessed them with his own eyes that under such extreme conditions, the Chinese did not test the performance of the engine.

"Received, boss..."

"The engine is normal, the output power is completely sufficient, and there is still a lot of remaining, which is much better than ours..."

"No problem, all indicators are normal..."

Zaili was very satisfied with receiving the sound from the communication channel.

A smile just appeared on his face, but when he felt the shaking of the fighter plane, he suddenly became stiff.

"There is convection ahead, climbing 45°, and a height of 24,000!" He is worthy of being an Iranian combat hero. When encountering such a situation, he immediately came up with a plan.

The other fighter pilots also have rich experience, trained by the US and then performed excellently on the battlefield between Iran and Iran, and then operated them all after hearing the order.

The nose of the plane that was originally flying was quickly raised towards the sky, and it was not until it flew at an angle of 45° from the horizontal plane, and then it kept running straight towards the sky.

"Pay attention to the clouds and pay attention to the power output at any time!"

While issuing orders, we observe the power output of the fighter jets.

"No, the airflow outside is too strong and the output power is insufficient..."

A fighter plane on Zairi's left was blown by strong airflow and kept shaking, almost unable to control his flying posture.

The same is true for other fighter jets. All pilots are trying their best to stabilize the joystick and prevent the fighter from shaking too much.

"The reality of power is enough. The airflow outside is too chaotic. If this continues, the flight attitude of the fighter will not be controlled..." Zairi's fighter also began to shake violently.

If I had known it, I should have climbed to a sufficient height from the beginning.

The mountain peaks here are different from the other side. The cold current from the north flows back when it encounters obstacles from the Himalayas, and it is still accelerating...

"Full power output..."

The two engine nozzles at the tail of the fighter, which was originally very light in color, instantly turned into blazing white, causing two white trajectories to form behind the fighter. Even if the wind was howling, it stayed for several seconds before it dissipated.

The plane's flight posture has become more stable, but it is still shaking.

The five fighter jets were like lightning, showing an angle of 45° to the sky, constantly climbing upwards...

Feeling the fighter jet shaking again, looking at the height above the fighter jet instrument panel, Zairi issued an order again: "Restart force!"

The tail flames of the five fighter jets changed again. The fighter jets that were originally fast enough quickly increased their speed in an instant.

When we reached an altitude of 22,000 meters, the fighter plane shook and felt nothing.

There were white clouds above. At the extreme speed, five fighter jets quickly emerged from the clouds...
