Just like the previous days, Lian Mingyang was up before 3 am and had called all his pilots and support personnel to wake up shortly after.
Taking 15 minutes to finish breakfast, by 3:20 am, all the officers and soldiers began preparing for deployment.
In fact, it was mainly a routine check.
Compared to the "Z-7W", the "Zhi-10A" not only had greater combat power, but also more, or rather, more troublesome, daily maintenance items.
The biggest issue was the engine.
The batch of "Zhi-10A" helicopters under Lian Mingyang were using the "WZ-6F" type engine which, although its power reached 1100 kilowatts and wasn't much lower than the nominal 1150 kilowatts of the "WZ-9A," this engine, designed over two decades ago and improved many times since, had already reached its performance limits.
The problem this caused was that the "WZ-6F" had extremely high thermal loads and its reliability had always been an issue.
