The Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force recently conducted more than 10 new combat
tactical air training exercises similar to American Red Flag advanced aerial combat training exercise
hosted at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada and Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska.
The exercise is divided into two teams (Red for friendly force while Blue Team acts as the aggressors)
to pitch their combat skills against one another.
The purpose is to train pilots for real combat situations, tactical co-ordination, understanding system
constraints and to develop attack and defensive strategies.
The new Tactical exercises also aim to improve the long-distance inter-regional mobility, inter-operative
and improved tactical combat capability.
Also, members of a Chinese J-10A fighter squadron have been bragging to the media that they did very
well in recent combat flying competitions because they were allowed to use a new electronic warfare pod.
This seems to indicate that the Chinese Air Force allows competing squadrons to do whatever they can
to win.
Makes sense, because the new competitive exercises emphasize initiative and resourcefulness. This also
reminds everyone that China has been making a lot of progress in developing ECM (Electronic
Counter-Measures)
