China's Guangzhou Military Area Command Air Force have organized a drill involving multiple types of aircraft, a spokesperson said Monday.

Shen Jinke, spokesperson of the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF), said pilots with both the air force and the navy participated in the drill, which aimed to "test and boost the troops' real combat abilities."

The drill involved fighters, bombers, early warning aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft and helicopters, Shen said, without providing details on where or for how long the drill was held.

"Organizing drills is a common practice for all countries' militaries, and the Chinese army holds a series of regular exercises every year with the goal to improve real combat capabilities to cope with various security threats and safeguard national sovereignty and security," Shen said.
