China** announced on 28 January that the Chinese Air Force's 1 August 1 Air Show Team will travel to Saudi Arabia from 4 to 8 February to attend the second international defense exhibition and aerial display in Saudi Arabia. When they saw the news, many netizens were very curious, China is thousands of kilometers away from Saudi Arabia, how did the air show team get there? In a sense, this question is not difficult. Of course, it is necessary to replenish supplies along the way, pass through several countries along the way, and get in touch with several other countries in advance to avoid any accidents.

First: flying, which is the easiest and the most troublesome. Seven J-10Cs of the Chinese Air Force flew to the United Arab Emirates, which was also invited by the Dubai Air Show, which was also the first time that J-10Cs appeared in the Middle East. Since the flight range of the aircraft in those years was more than 7000 km, and the maximum range of the J-10C was only 3200 km, we had to stop at least two airfields abroad during this journey. In a sense, this trip to the Saudi military expo, he can fly from here to another city, taking the same route and transit route, but he can cross thousands of miles.

Second, when traveling, the first thing to pay attention to is to ensure your own safety. For example, several countries are now at war, and if they can, they will not fight. Although the 1 August Air Show Team is only a "performance team," it is, after all, a fighter plane, and once it enters the war zone, it is very likely to be targeted by missiles on the ground. In addition, the route and the place of call must be kept strictly secret, because once the flight trajectory of the spacecraft is exposed, some secrets will be exposed, and it is also possible that people with ulterior motives will "move their minds". For example, they don't publish their flight departure times.

Thirdly, there are usually supporting fighter jets such as transport planes and tankers, but in an air show in Dubai, seven J-10Cs can be described as "single-handed". Once there, two L-15A and one transport-20 will carry astronauts. After a long flight of thousands of miles, the aircraft needs to be repaired, repaired, repaired, and the pilot's rest. And in the sky, the J-10C has a maximum flight speed of 1Mach 8, equivalent to 2,203 meters per hour, the driver has to fly for at least four hours, and flying an airplane can be much more difficult than driving a car, which is also a challenge to the driver's ability. You must know that maintaining mental concentration for a long time is very exhausting for pilots' energy and physical strength.

In addition, the cabin of the aircraft is small, and the pilot can only use his hands and legs to do some movements, which requires a high psychological quality of the pilot. Thirdly, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, they will definitely take all the dangers into account when flying in the flight path. Moreover, it is clear to everyone that in this demonstration everyone saw the shadow of the "fighter". For example, the J-10C, a single-engine medium-sized fighter, is the top existence of the four generations of multi-functional fighters. If it's usual, say hello in advance, and there is no danger in traveling thousands of miles. Even if something goes wrong, it's good enough to keep you safe. At present, there are not many people who have fifth-generation aircraft, and even if the fourth-generation aircraft is the top, it is also a "treasure" in the eyes of most people. In addition, China has always been known for its peace, so it is relatively safe for planes to fly abroad.
