Unexpectedly, this became the last task Wang Wei performed.
At that time, in the face of our army's warning, the US plane did not take it seriously, and even made a dangerous straight turn in the air, directly ramming the fighter plane piloted by Wang Wei, causing the fighter plane to malfunction.
In this critical situation, Wang Wei could only choose to eject and escape. However, after the parachute jump, Wang Wei was nowhere to be found, and his life and death were uncertain.
The state immediately mobilized tens of thousands of search forces, and the navy, air force, and armed police forces all joined the search ranks.
However, after a month-long search, Wang's whereabouts remain a mystery. In the end, the state could only announce Wang Wei's heroic death.
Eighteen years later, we finally figured out why Wang Wei was not heard from after the skydive.
The reason is that the ejection escape system used by our army at that time had great defects, the equipment was old and backward, and the pilot needed to start it manually.
This means that pilots must have enough time to turn on the devices one by one before parachuting out in a dangerous situation.
But we know that the choice of ejection must be at a critical moment, and it is simply impossible to have time for this series of operations.
Even if the ejection is successful, without the assistance of modern life-saving equipment, it is almost impossible to survive alone in the vast sea with the strength of a single pilot.
After this painful lesson, the country realized the importance and urgency of our army's escape equipment.
Since then, the state has begun to pay attention to and invest heavily in the research and development of improved pilot escape systems.
At present, the latest escape equipment of our army has basically realized fully automated operation to ensure that pilots can escape quickly.
Such tragedies are also unlikely to happen again. As we have seen, the progress of science and technology is of great significance to a country.
I believe that through continuous efforts, our army's equipment will become more and more advanced and provide a strong guarantee for defending the homeland and the country.
However, we should also note that it is not enough to rely on the modernization of equipment, because there are many factors involved in the escape process.
In addition to equipment, comprehensive training and drills are required. Every pilot should receive professional escape training and be proficient in various emergency escape skills.
At the same time, it is necessary to organize escape drills on a regular basis to simulate different dangerous situations and test the pilots' adaptability. In addition, it is also necessary to strengthen the training of the psychological quality of pilots to ensure that they will not be chaotic in the face of danger.
To build a complete flight safety system, all aspects need to cooperate well. Equipment is only one aspect of this.
We must start from all levels such as rules and regulations, training and drills, and psychological adjustment to form a comprehensive system to reduce the occurrence of flight accidents as much as possible and ensure the safety of every pilot's life.
It's not just about national defense, it's about every family. We must always keep in mind the story of Comrade Wang Wei, learn lessons, and make unremitting efforts to protect the blue sky.
The above is a detailed account of Wang Wei's sacrifice and its implications. This incident has taught us a profound lesson, and it has also prompted the state to increase the improvement and investment in the pilot escape system.
It is hoped that through such efforts, the life safety of every pilot can be guaranteed to the greatest extent and the flight safety of the country can be ensured.
Let us remember this history, keep moving forward, and contribute to the security and stability of our country.
