On January 31, 2012, at a military airport of the Air Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) in Tibet, an aviation regiment stationed in Tibet equipped with J-10 fighters launched the year 2012's first training of two-fighter confrontation with live ammunition.
At 10:10, with the ear-piercing roaring sound, two J-10 fighters soared to the sky like arrows from the bow.
At 12:30, two fighters that had just finished the training landed on the tarmac. Peng Lizhong, head of the second fighter group of the regiment, sprang from the cabin.
At 13:30, the two J-10 fighters took off again to implement a task.
Cai Zihua, commander of a troop unit under the PLA Air Force stationed in Tibet, told the reporter excitedly, "This is the first flight of the Air Force stationed in Tibet after the Spring Festival of the year 2012. The regiment conducted cross-year training on the snowy plateau and its combat effectiveness and support capacity have been strengthened constantly。"
