Military exercises
Military simulations or war games create environments where war ideas are tested to develop tactical and strategic solutions and dominate in real warfare.
In military simulations, flight simulators are used to recreate air combat and better understand the realistic physical aspects of the cockpit of an actual aircraft, often mounted on a full-motion platform and providing an authentic experience. .
It is used to train pilots, research the characteristics of fighter jets and control the handling characteristics without actually being on board an actual combat aircraft.
It reproduces the equation for fighter jet flight, the application of flight controls, the effects of other aircraft systems, and the reaction of the jet to external factors such as air density, turbulence, wind shear, clouds, rain, etc.
Although such simulations have been criticized by experts for their approximate nature and inability to simulate the uncertainties of real combat, they are still necessary for soldiers to test their aircraft and Can practice without being confused by the enemy.
