On the afternoon of 29 February, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, at which Senior Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, deputy director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, answered questions from reporters.
Reporter:Recently, the Air Force August 1 Air Show Team successfully completed the second Saudi Arabia Defense Exhibition flight show mission. Please tell us more about the performances and characteristics of this exhibition.
Zhang Xiaogang:Not long ago, the Air Force's 1 August 1 Air Show Team participated in the second Saudi International Defense Exhibition and conducted a flight show. This mission is the first time that the Air Force Bayi Air Show Team has participated in the exhibition in Saudi Arabia and the third time it has appeared in the Middle East and Gulf region. For the first time, the Air Force Tank-20 aircraft was used to accompany the support, and the one-stop direct flight through air refueling reflected the actual combat training level of the Chinese Air Force. Seven J-10C S performance aircraft organized 3 flight shows, and performed difficult aerobatics such as "four aircraft vertically flowering" and "five aircraft horizontally flowering", showing the style of China's "blue sky honor guard"; The Air Force's 1 August 1 Air Show Team also danced in the blue sky with the "Saudi Eagle" and "Turkish Star" and other foreign military air show teams, and the "red, yellow, white, and green" salad smoke, which symbolizes the colors of the national flags of China and Saudi Arabia, bloomed and blossomed in the sky, winning the applause of the audience. The Chinese Air Force's August 1 Air Show Team will continue to go abroad and fly to the world, and be a good messenger of peace, culture, and friendship.
