一位发言人上周三证实,中国的隐身战斗机歼-20已首次开展海上方向实战化军事训练。
China's J-20 stealth fighter jets have begun their first-ever sea combat training over the ocean, a spokesperson confirmed last Wednesday.
中国人民解放军空军新闻发言人申进科表示:“这将有助于空军更好地肩负起维护国家主权、安全和领土完整的神圣使命。”
"It will help the air force better fulfill its sacred duty of safeguarding China's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity," said Shen Jinke, spokesman for the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force.
歼-20是第四代中远程战斗机,于今年年初列装空军作战部队。
The J-20 is China's fourth-generation medium- and long-range fighter aircraft and was commissioned into air force combat service earlier this year.
申进科称,自列装以来,歼-20与歼-16、歼-10C等战机参与空战训练,提高了空军的作战能力。
Shen said that since its commission, the J-20 had taken part in air warfare training with J-16, J-10C and other fighter jets, boosting the air force's combat strength.
近年来,在同时加强空战,打击和防御战略的指引下,空军已研发出一系列新型高科技军事硬件。
In recent years, the air force has been developing a series of new high-tech military hardware under a strategy to emphasize aerial warfare, attack and defense.
