Chapter 212 Elephant Walking(2/2)
Soon, a rumbling roar sounded across the sky, and when I looked around, a scene that shocked the world appeared.
More than thirty planes were roaring in neat rows.
12 J-10, 12 J-16, 2 electronic warfare aircraft, a large early warning aircraft, 2 light transport aircraft, an anti-submarine patrol aircraft, 2 transport aircraft, and two strategic bombers.
This is "Elephant Walk".
What is "elephant walk"?
This is a professional term for the Air Force, which means that large batches of aircraft are scattered and dispatched on the runway in a dense formation, that is, the large batches of aircraft are dispatched collectively.
This scene was still very shocking.
Such a scene is still difficult for countries without some financial resources to make.
In addition to being tactical value, elephant walk itself is also a way for the Air Force to show its strength. Dozens of fully loaded ammunition fighters collectively appeared with great impact, and can carry out thousands of air strikes in 24 hours, carrying out devastating strikes on a city.
No country can match such a number of fighter jets in a short period of time.
Back then, in another world, only the United States had this strength. At that time, the Russian Air Force also had such a formation, but compared to the US Air Force, it was not worth seeing.
Here, no country has ever done an elephant walk, so when Chen Fei proposed this idea to the relevant superior departments, the superior departments disagreed at the beginning, thinking it was too wasteful, he burned money, and it was meaningless. However, after his repeated insistence, especially after communicating with Yang Xiyue's grandfather, the old man expressed his opinions in his own way, which led to this display.
To be honest, Hongyan Field Station has also emptied its assets. In order to form such a formation, they had to second a group of forces from other stations. Moreover, in order to achieve this effect, they trained day and night, and the hard work was indescribable.
However, now, when more than 30 planes were strolling at the Hongyan Airport, let alone others, even the officers and soldiers at Hongyan Field Station were shocked.
“Elephant walk!”
Chen Fei murmured to himself, pretending to be shocked, and this word appeared unconsciously.
