Taiwan Air Force entered a "eventful autumn".
The latest F-16 was lost during night training.
is like Malaysia Airlines MH370, no news.
Just fell an F-5E at Taitung at the end of last month, killing the lieutenant colonel pilot.
Just a few hours before F-16 lost contact, Taiwan also held a public memorial to the pilot.
Tsai Ing-wen personally issued a commendation order, saying that this pilot, your mission is over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, another fighter plane lost contact.
Many friends left messages saying that the missing plane of has been at a certain airport in mainland China.
When I heard this news, I was shocked.
is a big deal.
This time, the F-16A, piloted by Jiang Zhengzhi, captain of the 26th Air Force Operations Team, disappeared 2 minutes after taking off in Hualien. After searching for
for almost two days, it seemed that only some suspected oil stains were found.
Generally speaking, military aircraft crashes are nothing more than mechanical, environmental or human factors. The emergency escape equipment of the
F-16 fighter is complete, and there are signal devices on the ejection chair and pilot. As long as it is triggered, a distress signal will be sent. The full-frequency radio can be received and can be located soon.
If it is a mechanical problem, the pilot will discover and report it before the crash, and the relevant call records will be saved. It is usually not a mechanical problem to
suddenly disappear.
pilot is at the colonel level, with a total flight time of up to 2230 hours and a F-16 flight of more than 1800 hours.
According to the radio call record, Jiang Zhengzhi, who was the second aircraft in this mission number Y521, spoke "Two tied" ( radar locked the front aircraft) at 18:04:51 that night.
The last time he spoke was 18:05:47, responding to the radio call of the number one long machine , "Loud and clear".
18:06:43 and 51 seconds, machine 3 spoke twice in a row, asking about the height of machine 2.
18:07:01, the long machine also asked the height of the second machine and asked the radio to name it again, but the second machine was silent from then on.
The military pointed out that the initial judgment that the possibility of mechanical failure is low. It is not ruled out that when climbing and turning in the dark clouds, an illusion caused to "space fascinate" and fall into the sea.
. Hualien had no problem at that time.
But there are deep trenches outside Hualien, 1300 meters, which is difficult to rely on the black box to locate.
Maybe the real reason is to wait for the "anatomy" black box.
The military does not deny that the pressure has increased recently. The Air Force's flight rafts and duration this year have increased by 20% compared with last year. Organic foremen are even so busy that they cannot take a vacation to go home. The Air Force's pressure on routine and sudden combat readiness has increased sharply.
is under tight pressure and heavy tasks for a long time, which may lead to insufficient rest time and may also cause accidents directly or indirectly.
is missing the F-16A aircraft for 20 years and is still the main combat force in Taiwan, responsible for air defense and interception and strikes. Although
has been in service for a long time, to a certain extent, age may not necessarily mean being outdated or being underperformed.
Modern weapons are becoming more and more expensive, and aircraft and ships have been in service for decades, but the "interior" of equipment must be updated in time to maintain performance and reliability without any discounts.
In terms of the concept of "full lifespan" of weapons and equipment, the Taiwan military performed weakly. He was reluctant to set up special projects to improve the equipment for renovation and improvement, resulting in the equipment remaining "original" and entering the elderly. He was plagued by "the elderly" and had outdated performance, and safety declined, and even people were killed.
F-16 has had 9 accidents so far in the past 22 years.
Since Tsai Ing-wen took office, a total of 7 major military aircraft accidents have occurred, including Phantom 2000, F-5E, F-16, Black Hawk helicopter, etc., a total of 19 people died and 1 person was missing.
This time, Tsai Ing-wen also made high-profile instructions that all units should still cheer up and stick to their posts.
The military leaders are also constantly cheering up the soldiers and should not be discouraged.
Every time there is a big problem, the DPP will carry forward its best propaganda and momentum ability, and it can also win her reputation as " attaches importance to military ".
Over-heroicizing the accident tragedy, and the military has no room to deal with it impartially.
Through activities such as praying, "gathering energy", memorial service, and memorial service, officials at all levels are mourning and caring in front of the camera, and are busy giving the victims a halo such as "good son", "good husband", and "good father". They are frustrated about how to avoid the next tragedy.
In this way, the deaths of Taiwanese soldiers became as light as feathers, one after another, not only was it worthless, but it was also constantly indulging. There were more disasters waiting for the pilots in the future.
can’t bear it anymore. If a Taiwanese Air Force pilot flies the plane, is “spatial” and flies to the mainland, is it a strange thing? (end)
