China's air force intensifies training

Chinese air force has been intensified trainings in an effort to enhance its combat strength, the People's Liberation Army Daily reported Tuesday.

The report said that the air force has largely improved its counter electromagnetic interference ability in preparation for a high-tech war.

The trainings, which were kicked off last year, signals a shift of the air force's focus from mere "safety first" to the improved striking ability, the paper said.

All the combative regiments of the air force were ordered to strengthen anti-electromagnetic interference ability by carrying out regular trainings in a complicated meteorological and electromagnetic environment, according to the paper.

"That will enable them to get closer to the actual war situation," it said, adding that the number of participating pilots has reached record high.

The paper said that mock up battles of air-to-ground or air-to-air have been launched in the trainings, aiming to improve the air force's striking capability.
