The People's Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command has recently organized naval aviation force for mock air combat training after midnight. Such training aims to promote the pilots' ability to quickly enter combat status for abnormal situations at any time.
According to a video clip released by CCTV news, several Su-30 fighter jets soared into the sky toward the training airspace after getting through simulated hostile anti-aircraft firepower in low altitude. After suddenly receiving command, the fighter jets immediately switched into combat flight from training status and successfully drove away the targets.
"Such training is closer to real combats. It can speed up sortie to deal with abnormal circumstance in the air at once," said Han Chengche, a squadron leader of a naval aviation brigade under the PLA Eastern Theater Command.
