A naval aviation unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command has recently conducted a day-and-night anti-submarine flight training to enhance the troop's operational readiness and emergency response under simulated combat conditions. Dozens of aircraft took part in the training. Upon reaching the designated area, the aircraft swiftly descended to low altitude for over-water flight operations. Despite the complex sea conditions in winter and shifting cloud cover, the crew worked in close coordination to maintain precise control of their aircraft. When a suspected target was detected, pilots immediately adjusted course for verification. Through comprehensive analysis of the target's signature and movement patterns, the crew confirmed it as an "enemy" submarine. Combat units then carried out close coordination to adjust their tactics and successfully locked onto the target. As part of the training, the aircraft also returned to base for thorough inspection and maintenance by the ground crew before being relaunched for subsequent training. "During the nighttime over-water flight, where there were few visual references, our crew had to continuously and precisely adjust the aircraft's attitude based on instrument readings and navigation system. This process refined the troop's operational skills and enhanced their emergency response capabilities under simulated combat conditions," said Li Xin, a soldier. SHOTLIST: China - Recent 1.
