As he said, he hurriedly said again: “The information I received shows that the opposition’s current air defense weapon is a Stinger air defense missile made by the United States. This missile can effectively shoot at a height of about four kilometers. The flight altitude of GD must be kept above 4,000 meters, which means that you have to skydive from a height of more than 4,000 meters, which is very difficult!”
Charlie asked humbly, “Then tell me specifically, what are the main difficulties for parachuting at a height of four kilometers?”
Issac explained: “The first thing is to deal with the high-altitude air pressure and low temperature, which is a test of the physical fitness of the skydiver.”
Charlie nodded: “I believe there is nothing wrong with me in this regard, what about the others?”
Issac continued: “In addition, it is to maintain the high-altitude posture. You must ensure that your descent speed is moderate, not too slow, let alone too fast. This requires you to make reasonable use of your body and constantly adjust the air resistance and Your posture.”
Charlie nodded and said, “It sounds like it shouldn’t be difficult, is there any more?”
Issac added: “The other is the control of the timing of opening the parachute, and the control of the parachute after opening it. When you jump from a height of more than 4,000 meters, the high airflow is unstable. You have to constantly adjust the direction. Make sure you land at the predetermined location as accurately as possible. If you make a mistake, you may miss several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers.”
After speaking, Issac continued: “Yes, there is also the landing posture. Although usually watching others parachuting, it seems that the landing speed is not fast. In fact, at the moment of landing, the descending speed is still very high. This requires the skydiver to land. Make adjustments the moment before. If you don’t control well, it’s common to break your leg or break other body parts.”
When Charlie heard this, he couldn’t help but ask him: “The last time I jumped from a ten-meter-high helicopter, it was all right. What you said shouldn’t be a problem to me.”
Only then did Issac remember the performance of Zhiyu and Liona rescue last time by Charlie, and he felt a little relieved when he thought that Charlie’s physical fitness was completely different from that of ordinary people.
So he took a breath and continued: “Master, since this is the case, then I think the only two issues you need to pay attention to are direction control and the timing of opening the umbrella. I will contact the Lebanese side. The interface person, let them prepare a device that can display air pressure, altitude, and GPS positioning. Then you can judge the time of skydiving based on real-time data, and then adjust the direction in real-time based on GPS.”
