The Chinese Air Force recently conducted a remarkable event that showed us a completely new round-trip mode. That's right, our J-10 fighters and tanker-20 tankers quickly returned to China for the Chinese New Year after completing their performances abroad.
When I heard the news, I couldn't help but get excited. This is not just an air show, but a demonstration to the world of the strength of our country.
The event was organized by the Bayi Air Show Brigade. This team is not vegetarian in the field of flying. As the elite unit of the Chinese Air Force, the Bayi Air Show Brigade undertakes the important task of displaying the image of the Chinese Air Force.
They flew on the domestic fighter J-10, a modern fighter known for its high maneuverability and high performance. This not only reflects the full trust in the performance of domestic fighters, but also a huge test of the technical level of pilots.
Their destination was Saudi Arabia, where they participated in the international defense exhibition held there. This exhibition brings together advanced equipment from many countries around the world and is an important occasion to showcase military technology and international defense cooperation. The participation of the 1 August Air Show Brigade undoubtedly demonstrated the strength and demeanor of the Chinese Air Force.
From the point of view of organizational arrangement, the "one-stop round-trip" itinerary of the Bayi Air Show Brigade is very challenging. After completing their performance assignment in Saudi Arabia, they immediately set off for home. This compact itinerary reflects excellent logistics support and personnel scheduling capabilities. In the field of international air shows, such operations are indeed rare, and fully demonstrate China's rapid progress and strong capabilities in the field of expeditionary combat support and support.
In addition, the August 1 Air Show Brigade demonstrated to the world the achievements of the Chinese Air Force and China Industry through this performance. The J-10 fighter jet flew through the skies, demonstrating excellent performance that broke through traditional boundaries. This is not only a technical demonstration, but also a strong signal to the world that China is developing peacefully and actively safeguarding world peace and regional stability.
And the tanker-20 tanker is even more eye-catching. The aircraft is a large air tanker independently developed by China, and there are very few countries in the world that can independently build such a large tanker aircraft. The launch of the Y-20 marks a breakthrough in the field of in-flight refueling technology for China.
Globally, there are really not many countries that can independently design and manufacture large air tankers, except for China, mainly a few countries such as the United States and Russia. Therefore, the successful development of the Yunyou-20 is not only a major technological breakthrough, but also reflects the significant improvement of the strategic strength of the Chinese Air Force.
The Y-20 is based on China's large transport aircraft platform, which can provide in-flight refueling for a variety of fighters in flight, greatly expanding the combat radius and sustained combat capability of the Chinese Air Force. With the support of in-flight refueling capabilities, the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets can perform longer range missions while spending significantly more time in the air, which is of great significance for improving tactical flexibility and strategic projection capabilities.
In particular, China has the ability to independently develop and manufacture air tankers, which means that we can design and manufacture tankers according to our own needs and plans, and are no longer limited by external technology and equipment. This provides greater autonomy and flexibility for the development of the Chinese Air Force, ensuring that the implementation of the most advanced needs and strategic layout does not need to rely on external technical support.
In terms of asserting national strength and enhancing international image, the Chinese Air Force's aerial refueling and related demonstration activities using the Y-20 are also of great significance. By demonstrating the ability of aerial refueling on specific occasions and conditions, it not only demonstrates the progress of China's leading technology, but also announces to the world that China's comprehensive national strength and military strength have been significantly enhanced, and the country's strategic deterrence and international influence have been enhanced.
This one-stop round-trip and presentation event is more than just a superficial show. What it reflects is our country's overall superiority in military strength and strategic vision. Every flight, every public display, proves to the world that China is not only powerful on the ground, but also able to create surprises in the air and bring new perspectives to the world.
This is a reflection of the self-confidence and strength of our country and a new image of our presentation to the world. Our air power is becoming the focus of the world's attention, highlighting the strong status and image of our country.
