Since the beginning of service in 2000,Su-30MKKIt has always been ChinaAir ForcecoreFightersType. The combat readiness of this model has always been good, and its uptime has always remained at a high level. Su-30MKKin ChinaAir ForceIt can be seen everywhere in actual combat operations, whether it is an outbound exercise, an escort mission or a flight around the island, it plays an important role.
However, surprisingly,Su-30MKKAfter 20 years of service, it still maintains such high attendance and consistent performance. This has sparked the question of what is it that keeps these veterans alive on stage.
China, 20 December 2000Air ForceThe first batch of 10 was introducedSu-30MKKFighters, marking the entry of the model into ChinaAir Forcesequence. AsSu-27UBKModifications,Su-30MKKIt has been slightly enhanced in air combat capabilities and integrated the ground attack capabilities of the Su-24M. Although with the contemporaneousf-15eand so onFightersCompared to a little inferior, butSu-30MKKThe introduction of ChinaAir ForceMajor breakthroughs have been made in a number of areas.
Su-30MKKThe arrival of ChinaAir ForceFor the first time, new technologies such as active medium-range bombs, precision tactical strikes against the ground and anti-radiation capabilities were introduced. However, new technology doesn't just look goodCriticalIt's about how to apply it to training and actual combat. ForAir ForceAs far as the troops are concerned, the biggest challenge lies in how to form a complete combat capability and support system within the specified time. Therefore, inSu-30MKKWhen it first entered service,Air ForceThe requirements of the top brass for the unit were extremely strict.
The formation of combat capability depends not only onPilotsand, more importantly, the support capability of the troops. Rao isSu-30MKKNo matter how advanced it is, if the proper condition and sortie rate of the aircraft cannot be guaranteed, the actual combat capability cannot be brought into full play.
ForSu-30MKKAs far as the troops are concerned, the aircraft adequacy rate is an important assessment indicator. Aircraft availability refers to the proportion of aircraft in the fleet that can be dispatched at the first time. Due to the fact that the aircraft requires maintenance, upgrades, and maintenance during its service, the aircraft during this time cannot be in combat readiness and cannot perform tasks. As a result, it is necessary to shorten maintenance time and improve aircraft availabilityAir ForceAn important task for the support troops.
InSu-30MKKAt the beginning of service, ChinaAir ForceThere are only a small number of third-generation aircraft, and alsoSu-30MKKIt has become a valuable tactical asset. For each additional aircraft that can be dispatched,Air Force's combat effectiveness will increase by one point. Therefore, the 3rd Air Division not only needs to form combat strength as soon as possible, but also needs to explore a set of systems applicable to domestic support for third-generation aircraft, so as to improve the proper rate of aircraft. This experience was later extended to other units as well.
Su-30MKKIn order to improve the support capability, the troops have carried out a number of tasks. First of all, they areSu-30MKKWith the help of technical advisers, got acquainted with the ammunition of the aircraftavionics systems andEngineetcCriticalEquip. By optimizing the aircraft maintenance manual, they managed to shorten the domestic marketSu-30MKKThe regular inspection time has effectively improved the proper rate of the aircraft.
Second, they upgraded their infrastructure and optimized oil, electricity, and moreand other safeguard procedures. After improving the detection process for oil and electricitySu-30MKKThe re-dispatch time has generally been shortened by more than 10 minutes. These efforts have provided the support force with an efficient and reliable support capabilitySu-30MKKAfter 20 years of service, it is still able to maintain a stable attendance rate.
Although nowadaysSu-30MKKThe core position has been J-20, J-16 and other new generationsFightersbut this did not affect the activity of this group of veterans. Thanks to its excellent support capabilities,Su-30MKKInAir Forcetrust is consistent. Especially around 2005, when ChinaAir ForceOn the other side of the bankAir ForceThe forces prevail, whileSu-30MKKIt became ChinaAir Forcethe most relied upon, for ChinaAir ForceAnd the military fans brought a glimmer of hope and courage.
Looking to the future, thoughSu-30MKKThe status of the new generation is gradually being usedFightersreplaced, but it is still ChinaAir ForceAn indispensable part of the . Due to the excellent ability of its support, it is expectedSu-30MKKIt can be in service until 2030 and beyond. Despite their age, they are still strong enough for ChinaAir ForceProvide reliable support and combat effectiveness.
