PLA will place all the Helicopters assets of 400 odds to support a WZ.

Army aviation regiment flies 1,000 li to open airfield in training

PLA Daily 2006-06-28

　　

　　Since mid-June, an army aviation regiment of the Jinan Military Area Command has flown over 1,000 li to open field airfields far away from its air base to carry out comprehensive live-fire drills in unfamiliar airspaces and under various tactical conditions, such as complicated electromagnetic environment and ground-to-air firepower barrage, etc. in order to enhance the rapid-response capability of its troops under field airfield combat conditions.

　　This exercise covers operational organization and command, logistics support for equipment, flight control, weather forecast, communication and navigation and other aspects, and sets high demand on mutual coordination among various aspects of the operation. However, by organizing and planning the exercise in a scientific way, the regiment has managed to realize a leapfrog progress from the fixed support to dynamic support.

　　In this exercise, it has accomplished such tactical training subjects and live-fire attack as night formation flight, extra-low altitude interception and coordinated defense of aircraft fleet formation under complicated weather conditions such as sandstorms, low clouds and rain, etc. In addition, through exploration and summing-up, the regiment has developed nine new training methods and air battle tactics, and solved 16 hard-nut training problems. As a result, a new breakthrough has been made in its overall fighting capability.
