Summary

Machine summary

An unidentified PLA Air Force surface-to-air missile unit conducted mobile air defense combat training on the Gobi Desert in early autumn, maneuvering dozens of kilometers to unfamiliar terrain and running a scripted scenario that included radar lock-on under electromagnetic jamming, decoy flare countermeasures, UAV ultra-low-altitude penetration, and emergency displacement to a reserve position. The exercise documents the unit's emphasis on 机动作战能力 (mobile combat capability) under degraded sensor conditions — specifically the combination of sand, solar interference, and active jamming — with real-time special-situation injections designed to stress operator decision-making rather than rehearse a fixed script. The article provides a baseline record of how this category of air defense unit structures field garrison training; it does not identify the unit, its equipment type, or its garrison location, so no assessment of force posture is possible.

——空军某部对空抗击训练见闻 ■解放军报记者 王越 特约记者 胡勇华 初秋,正在野外执行驻训任务的空军某部官兵,机动数十公里抵达陌生地域,展开一场对空抗击训练。 “立即占领阵地,完成战斗准备!”戈壁滩上,急促的警报声骤然响起,多台装备车辆按战斗编组快速行动。架设天线、起竖导弹、校准参数……号手们熟练作业、默契配合,各战斗单元迅速展开。 “多批目标抵近!”雷达方舱内,技师汪龙紧盯屏幕上的回波信号,指尖在面板上快速操作,牢牢锁定目标踪迹并及时上报“敌”情。 方舱外,黄沙扑面;方舱内,气氛紧张。雷达屏幕上,目标信号短暂闪烁后突然消失。汪龙屏气凝神,按照既定部署切换搜索方式,持续捕捉目标信号。 “戈壁滩环境复杂,沙尘、强日照叠加,给装备稳定性、号手操作精度带来不小考验。”该部领导介绍,此次训练旨在充分发挥恶劣环境的“磨刀石”作用,全程按照实战标准设置训练课目、临机导调特情,重点检验部队在复杂条件下的机动作战能力。 “‘敌’机一批两架,正向我阵地袭来!”汪龙再次捕捉到来袭目标踪迹,并保持稳定跟踪。各作战单元弓满弦张,耐心等待发射时机。没想到,“敌”机突然释放干扰弹,目标信号随即再次从屏幕上消失。 “目标施放干扰,我阵地已暴露。”综合分析对方战术动作后,指挥员判断:这是“敌”先遣侦察兵力,意在探明我方部署。紧接着,他下达指令:“各模块按预定方案编组,迅速向预备阵地转移!” 戈壁滩上,引擎轰鸣,一台台经过伪装防护的装备车辆向预备阵地疾驰,卷起阵阵沙尘。 很快,“敌”两架无人机采取超低空突防的方式向车队袭来。防抗分队立即启动无人机干扰系统,将来袭无人机“击落”。 到达预备阵地,官兵依令展开装备。此时,多批次“敌”机从不同方向、不同高度同时向阵地发起攻击,并实施强电磁干扰,导致汪龙眼前的雷达屏幕上“一片雪花”。 “切换抗干扰模式!”紧急关头,指挥员果断下令,官兵灵活切换雷达工作模式,快速在密集杂波中锁定目标。“发射!”随着指挥员一声令下,导弹拖着尾焰直刺苍穹,精准“命中”目标。 “从训练开始,‘敌’情通报几乎没有停过,每一次目标丢失,都是对我们处置能力和心理素质的考验。危局难局险局的锤炼,让我们更好地摸清了装备性能,也练强了打赢本领。”走下战位,指挥员立即带领官兵展开复盘,为下一步训练明确方向。
