Storyline


An air unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) ground force Wednesday held a live-fire exercise off southeast China coast, the ground force said Thursday.

The exercise, which involved the coordination of various types of armed helicopters, was an annual routine arrangement to test the force's all-weather combat capability, it said.

At around 08:00, helicopters carrying a variety of ammunition were ready to fly to designated waters.

After taking off, pilots set their own courses and detected targets on the water, then fired the floating targets and simulated ships with missiles and rocket projectiles.

"The general impression during the exercise is that the maritime environment is more complicated. The strong wind and torrential waves made the targets fluctuate greatly. We had to identify the targets, take aim and fire at them in a short time before leaving quickly. We had to destroy the targets while keeping ourselves safe. The exercise has effectively raised our awareness of the enemy and combat-readiness," said Zhang Sen, a pilot of the exercise.

The exercise was conducted in a complicated electromagnetic environment.

"We conducted the live-fire exercise in line with the requirements of dealing with the real situation, overcoming difficulties and strictness in real combat. In terms of environment, we highlighted night operations, the complicated and sea electromagnetic environment; in terms of tactics, we stressed far-out and coordinated attacks and multi-ammunition continuous attacks; in terms of method, we stressed self-detection and taking decisions according to actual conditions. In this way, we have raised the real-combat capabilities in an all-round manner," said Yang Baowei, a deputy brigade commander of the force.

The exercise ended at around 23:30 with the landing of the last helicopter.

"As a new-type combat force, the air unit of the ground force is a powerful support for the ground force to achieve 'mobile battle and three-dimensional offensive and defense. By conducting this live-fire exercise, we are studying and implementing President Xi Jinping's command and demand, focusing on maritime missions and tasks.
