I Have a Little Black Hole

Chapter 946 Pilots who are more valuable than fighter jets!

Everyone in the military turned their attention to Lei Tiantang, and now they don't care about staring at the test flight data of those fighter jets. Compared with these fighter jet test flight data that can be viewed at any time, they are obviously more concerned about the training of fighter pilots. !

Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, a fighter jet is worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, which is staggeringly expensive. At present, many countries in the world are still using those cheap second-generation fighter jets. Or it can be seen that most countries use third-generation fighter jets, and replacing more advanced fighter jets is a big burden for a country.

However, anyone who has participated in the rigorous selection of pilots and even frequent flight training understands that from the perspective of the military, the value of a qualified pilot is much higher than the price of a fighter jet, and the value of a pilot with excellent skills is , it is absolutely not too much to describe it as priceless treasure!

This is also the reason why Zhang Shanhu can discover this detail so quickly, and the reason why people in the military are so concerned about this issue now.

Compared with fighter jets with clearly marked prices, ordinary people may not have a clear understanding of the value of pilots. Pilots in different countries in the world have different skills and values.

Take the old and American Air Force fighter jets and pilots as an example. As we all know, the US military’s fighter jets are the most expensive, and the level of their pilots is relatively high. For example, the price of an old American F-22 stealth fighter is about 120 million US dollars. A qualified fighter pilot of the old US Air Force basically has to complete about 2,000 hours of flight training.

According to our known fighter flight cost, the F-15 fighter cost more than 40,000 US dollars for 1 hour of flight training, so it is easy to calculate that the cost of flight training alone for a US military pilot from service to preliminary qualification is as high as Around $60 million.

These expenses are only for fighter pilot training. A qualified pilot also has other expenses such as food, clothing, housing, salary, etc., as well as expenses such as trainer aircraft, simulation training, medical services, etc. The most important thing is the follow-up cost of becoming a qualified fighter pilot. .

In the old U.S. Air Force, fighter pilots who are officially listed must perform at least more than 200 hours of flight training every year to maintain their technical status.

If it was an ace pilot, this flight time could be longer. Through the display of the above objective data, we can easily calculate the apparent value of a fighter pilot. Taking the U.S. military's qualified pilots participating in training and flying for 15 years as an example, the total cost is about 120 million US dollars.

If you add other living and medical salaries and other supporting expenses, it can exceed 150 million US dollars. Many people will say that it is impossible at this time. Even if our country trains a mature pilot, it will probably cost about 2.4 billion yuan, which is equivalent to 4 billions of dollars.

And these values ​​are just the cost of training a pilot.

In fact, the way in which the value of pilots is measured in money is unreasonable. We all know that the military strength of a country, whether it is the army, navy, air force and other combatants, is invaluable to the army.

The development and test flight of fighter jets and the improvement and upgrading of equipment all require the assistance of fighter pilots with sufficient experience. Without their test flights and suggestions, even the best weapons and equipment are not practical.

Some people will say that drones have no pilots, and their combat effectiveness is still not weak. It seems reasonable, but if people without fighter flying experience are operated, the combat effectiveness of drones will not be reflected at all, and this The experience of drone operation is also summed up from the experience of countless drones dispatched, tested, attacked, and even crashed.

In general, the loss of a fighter can be made up in the shortest amount of time to manufacture replacements, but the loss of a mature and qualified pilot can not be made up for much money.

Looking back at the wars in military history, it is not difficult to see that in terms of weapons and equipment in wars, various military powers can make an endless supply of supplements, but in terms of personnel training, they are always unable to make ends meet.

Without the control of personnel, all advanced weapons and equipment will become scrap iron. If qualified pilots are lost, no matter how many fighter jets they are in the air, they will be living targets.

In the latter part of the Pacific War of World War II, the air superiority of the Baga country was gradually lost. The real reason is not that they lack fighter jets, but that most of the experienced pilots have basically died.

The novice fighters who were trained in the later period were sent to the battlefield only when they could take off and land. They drove the zero-fighter with excellent performance to rampage in the air. They were dubbed air turkeys by the old US Air Force pilots, that is to say, they were slaughtered by others.

It is said that in the air battle in the late Pacific War, the highest record of destruction of a U.S. fighter against a fighter of the Baga country was 19:1. Such a big gap is not the difference in the performance of the fighter, but the difference in the experience and technology of the pilots. As a result, from this point of view, the value of the pilot is far from being estimated by money.

If the training expenditure of pilots can be reduced and the technical level of pilots can be greatly improved, it will have a very significant impact on the improvement of the army's combat effectiveness, so the military personnel are staring at Lei Tiantang.

Hey! That's right! As you think, our company does have a secret weapon for training pilots! It's General Zhang, your eyes are really sharp! And your brain is very fast!

It is possible to see their technical level from such a small projection, and at the same time, it can be analyzed that our company has the means to train pilots. I don't want to admire this. It seems that our company has another secret weapon. It's about to be exposed! Lei Tiantang said with a smile.

What are you selling, Mr. Lei! Hurry up and introduce us! Zhang Shanhu urged with rounded eyes.

Well, it's actually easy to say, that is, our aircraft company's laboratory has specially designed a flight simulation system, which can increase the realism of simulated flight to 95% of real flight!

We can not only simulate the gravity acceleration system, but also allow pilots to experience almost the same gravity acceleration and weightlessness as real flight during simulated flight, and also allow pilots to experience the same extreme weather and energy as real aircraft. The accident that caused the plane crash.

Let Zhao Li introduce you to the specific situation. I don't know much about this. Anyway, the pilots you see have already flown these fighter jets for thousands of hours on the simulated flight system. That's why they can perform so well now, and my skill level is also developed in this way! Lei Tiantang smiled and gave a simple explanation.
