A Chinese military affairs expert said the simultaneous execution of different exercises in three countries demonstrates the PLA Air Force's strategic capabilities, extending beyond homeland deployment to overseas missions.
The PLA Air Force announced on Thursday that the China-Belarus Swift Eagle 2026 airborne joint training, which opened at a PLA Air Force training center on August 12, entered its comprehensive exercise phase on Wednesday.
Earlier, participating troops from both sides had completed basic training and coordinated refinement at the training center, laying a solid foundation for the exercise upgrade, said the PLA Air Force.
During the earlier training phase, Chinese and Belarusian troops were organized into mixed groups, learning from each other and conducting specialized drills on designated subjects. Between missions, the two sides also organized friendly sports activities, including football and tug-of-war matches, along with other cultural exchange events.
As planned, the next phase will feature full-element comprehensive drills in a combat-realistic setting, focusing on honing joint command and coordinated operational capabilities, deepening practical military cooperation, and jointly enhancing the ability to conduct joint counter-terrorism missions, said the PLA Air Force.
This marks the fourth iteration of the "Swift Eagle" series joint training between China and Belarus. Details on the equipment deployed by both sides have not yet been disclosed.
Wang Ya'nan, editor-in-chief of the Beijing-based Aerospace Knowledge magazine, told the Global Times that Belarus is likely to follow its traditional practices, focusing on low-altitude small-scale airborne operations, possibly using Il-76 large transport aircraft, while China might deploy Y-9 or Y-20 transport aircraft for low-altitude delivery.
The joint training is not a one-way learning exercise, but rather a process of building a cooperative foundation and familiarizing both sides with each other's operational habits in the counter-terrorism domain, Wang Ya'nan said.
Shortly before the China-Belarus drill entered its new phase, Senior Colonel Chen Xi, spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense, announced on August 14 that from mid-August to early September, the Chinese and Egyptian air forces would hold the Eagles of Civilization 2026 joint training in Egypt.
The training will focus on subjects such as air combat tactics, air superiority operations, and combat search and rescue, and will include force employment drills. As the second iteration of its kind, the joint training will further enhance mutual trust and traditional friendship, deepen substantive cooperation between the Chinese and Egyptian militaries, and contribute to regional peace and stability, Chen said.
In May 2025, Ministry of National Defense spokesperson Senior Colonel Zhang Xiaogang briefed that from April 17 to May 4 of that year, the air forces of China and Egypt held the first "Eagles of Civilization 2025" joint training at an Egyptian air force base.

This was the first time that China sent force packages to Africa for joint training, during which the two sides conducted drills on such subjects as air superiority operations, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), battlefield search and rescue, and mixed grouping. Discussions and exchanges on training models, air combat tactics and aerial refueling were also held, Zhang said.
Wang Yunfei, a Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times on Thursday that China and Egypt enjoy good military relations, and their joint exercise further enhanced mutual understanding and friendship.
The two countries' air forces share some similar training methods and tactics, and the joint exercise could pave the way for potential equipment cooperation in the future, Wang Yunfei said, noting that the Egyptian side will get an opportunity to closely observe the Chinese warplanes' capabilities.
Wang Yunfei also mentioned that, as flying to Egypt is a long-distance flight, such maneuvers could boost the PLA Air Force's long-distance combat capabilities and adaptability to diverse environments in different regions.
Meanwhile, the Chinese and Thai militaries are holding the Falcon Strike 2026 joint air force training in Thailand in August.
The Chinese side will send multiple types of aircraft and units, including ground-based air defense forces. The two sides will train on subjects such as joint air defense and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. The training marks the ninth of its kind between the two air forces and is aimed at further deepening the traditional friendship and practical cooperation between China and Thailand, Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, a spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, said on July 30.
According to a video posted by state broadcaster CCTV on August 13, China's Y-20 transport aircraft, J-10C fighter jets and J-10S fighter-trainers, and JAS 39 Gripen fighter jets and Alpha Jet light attack/trainer aircraft from Thailand participated in the drill.

The ability to conduct concurrent joint training with Belarus in China, Thailand in Southeast Asia and Egypt in Africa reflects the PLA Air Force's growing capacity for global engagement and rapid deployment.
The Zhisheng (Victory) documentary series released around Army Day also showcased the PLA Air Force's capabilities.
Footage revealed the systematic application of three types of UAVs providing intelligence support to the PLA Army, Navy and Rocket Force, with the GJ-3A armed reconnaissance drone making its first public appearance. The footage also showed an H-6N bomber carrying a large missile under its fuselage, which a Chinese expert said could be a powerful air-launched ballistic missile capable of conducting anti-ship or ground-strike missions. Some reports identified the large missile as the nuclear-capable JL-1.
The PLA Air Force is building a modern force that is versatile, agile and capable of operating across domains, ready to safeguard China's national interests and contribute to regional peace, Wang Ya'nan noted.

南海争端迎来“大结局”？菲律宾5艘渔船200多人涌向黄岩岛，中方报道字少事大，“杀气”外露。

据环球网报道，近期以来，菲律宾官方接连否认“君子协定”，中方直接公布铁证“打脸”后，菲方直接“不装了”，又开始了新一轮的政治表演。5月15日，菲律宾5艘商业渔船约200人高调驶向黄岩岛海域“维权”。另外，菲方派出海岸警卫队的船只为这支所谓“民间船队”护航。而一众西方媒体“闻着味”就来了，纷纷跟进。尽管菲方表示这些“渔民”的行为“与菲政府无关”，但由于这么一套动作太过“丝滑”，可以说是“一气呵成”，不得不让人怀疑，这是美菲最新炮制的一场“闹剧”。

菲方这次活动的组织者给自己打上“民间”的标签，高举“和平”的口号，实际干的却都是一些破坏和平的事，完全无益于南海的和平稳定。马科斯政府如此兴师动众，完全将本国渔民的安危抛在脑后，进行蓄意碰瓷，企图以卖惨、抹黑的方式博取国际社会同情，目的就是想挑起黄岩岛新一轮摩擦。对于菲方的这一动作，中国早就提前做了准备。

除了在黄岩岛加强巡查外，中国外交部也进行了回应。

三 | 中国外交部发言人汪文斌强调，黄岩岛是中国固有领土，中国对黄岩岛及其附近海域拥有无可争辩的主权。中方警告菲律宾方面，如果菲方滥用中国的善意，侵犯中国的主权和管辖权，中方将依法反制，一切责任和后果由菲方承担。

中方的回应虽然很短，但信息量非常大。其中最后一句话，给菲律宾释放了强烈的信号。

四 | 意思很简单：中国已经把话“撂在这”，如果菲方要“来硬的”，中方将坚决反制，造成的一切损失将由菲律宾承担。鉴于中菲两国国力差距十分巨大，菲律宾强行挑动摩擦的结果只有一种，那就是“既赔夫人又折兵”。

长期以来，我们对菲律宾的态度一直是非常克制的，比如在我国仁爱礁非法“坐滩”了20多年的菲方军舰，这说明中方一直希望和平协商解决矛盾，而不是“舞刀弄枪”，这是中国独有的大国格局。但菲方屡次“会错意”，将中国的善意当作是“软弱可欺”。从菲律宾撕毁协议的那一刻起，就意味着中国将作出改变。既然菲律宾要打破双方默契，破坏来之不易的和平局面，中方也没什么好客气的。但中国绝不打“无准备之仗”，我们可以看到，中方不仅加强了对黄岩岛部署，中国海警甚至还“贴心”地进行了海上救援科目的专项训练。显然，这一切都是为菲方准备的，这也说明了我们对保卫自身领土主权的坚强决心以及强大能力。

菲律宾这几艘“破船”是掀不起什么风浪的，最终结果还是一样。菲律宾三番五次不顾国际形象“自取其辱”，其实就是吃准了美国会帮他。
