China's J-20 stealth fighter jets have begun their first-ever sea combat training over the ocean, a spokesperson confirmed last Wednesday.
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。
"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.
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。”
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.
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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
