The only full-time J-10 "Blue Army" under the Air Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) recently appeared at a flight test and training base in north China to take part in a confrontation exercise held there.
This full-time J-10 "Blue Army" is well-known across the PLA Air Force. It has carried out study-oriented confrontation drillings with many aviation units of the Air Force. Since the J-10 "Blue Army" came into being, the air force aviation troops have had the visible rivals to launch confrontation drillings in vivid air battle environments.
"Compared with the past "Blue Army" fighters, this full-time J-10 "Blue Army" pays more attention to the spot performance of the pilots from both sides during the air battles," said Dong Li, commander of the training base.
"This new-generation 'Blue Army' will continuously promote the tactical training of the air force aviation troops to elevate to a higher level," Commander Dong told the reporters.
