Print Edition
THE People’s Liberation Army Air Force has conducted a high-sea training mission in the West Pacific and a joint combat patrol mission in the South China Sea, the air force confirmed yesterday.
A formation, including H-6K bombers and Su-30 fighters, carried out a real combat training mission in the West Pacific via the Miyako Strait.
The training aimed to improve high-sea combat ability, and was in line with international law and practice, said Shen Jinke, a spokesman for the air force.
The PLA Air Force has sent another team consisting of combat aircraft, including H-6K bombers and Su-35 fighter jets, for a joint combat patrol mission in the South China Sea area, he said.
Su-35 fighter jets carrying out real combat training will enable the air force to improve real combat capability under long-distance and high-sea conditions.
The PLA Air Force will continue to safeguard national sovereignty and security, as well as supporting the country’s peaceful development through high-sea training and combat patrol missions, according to Shen.
