Top fighter models drill combat tactics

The People's Liberation Army Air Force has begun training its pilots a new airstrike tactic that involves all of its best fighter jets.

An Air Force aviation unit in northwestern China, the first to use the PLA's most advanced fighter jet, the J-20, has recently been performing joint tactical exercises with J-16 and J-10C aircraft, according to the Air Force.

In the exercises, the radar-evading J-20s take advantage of their situational awareness and stealth abilities to seize air superiority. Then J-16s and J-10Cs launch long-range precision strikes against land targets.
