A Chinese military affairs expert said the simultaneous execution of different exercises in three countries demonstrates the PLA Air Force's strategic capabilities, extending beyond homeland deployment to overseas missions.
The PLA Air Force announced on Thursday that the China-Belarus Swift Eagle 2026 airborne joint training, which opened at a PLA Air Force training center on August 12, entered its comprehensive exercise phase on Wednesday. 
Earlier, participating troops from both sides had completed basic training and coordinated refinement at the training center, laying a solid foundation for the exercise upgrade, said the PLA Air Force.
During the earlier training phase, Chinese and Belarusian troops were organized into mixed groups, learning from each other and conducting specialized drills on designated subjects. Between missions, the two sides also organized friendly sports activities, including football and tug-of-war matches, along with other cultural exchange events.
As planned, the next phase will feature full-element comprehensive drills in a combat-realistic setting, focusing on honing joint command and coordinated operational capabilities, deepening practical military cooperation, and jointly enhancing the ability to conduct joint counter-terrorism missions, said the PLA Air Force.
This marks the fourth iteration of the "Swift Eagle" series joint training between China and Belarus. Details on the equipment deployed by both sides have not yet been disclosed. 
Wang Ya'nan, editor-in-chief of the Beijing-based Aerospace Knowledge magazine, told the Global Times that Belarus is likely to follow its traditional practices, focusing on low-altitude small-scale airborne operations, possibly using Il-76 large transport aircraft, while China might deploy Y-9 or Y-20 transport aircraft for low-altitude delivery.
The joint training is not a one-way learning exercise, but rather a process of building a cooperative foundation and familiarizing both sides with each other's operational habits in the counter-terrorism domain, Wang Ya'nan said.
Shortly before the China-Belarus drill entered its new phase, Senior Colonel Chen Xi, spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense, announced on August 14 that from mid-August to early September, the Chinese and Egyptian air forces would hold the Eagles of Civilization 2026 joint training in Egypt.
The training will focus on subjects such as air combat tactics, air superiority operations, and combat search and rescue, and will include force employment drills. As the second iteration of its kind, the joint training will further enhance mutual trust and traditional friendship, deepen substantive cooperation between the Chinese and Egyptian militaries, and contribute to regional peace and stability, Chen said.
In May 2025, Ministry of National Defense spokesperson Senior Colonel Zhang Xiaogang briefed that from April 17 to May 4 of that year, the air forces of China and Egypt held the first "Eagles of Civilization 2025" joint training at an Egyptian air force base.

This was the first time that China sent force packages to Africa for joint training, during which the two sides conducted drills on such subjects as air superiority operations, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), battlefield search and rescue, and mixed grouping. Discussions and exchanges on training models, air combat tactics and aerial refueling were also held, Zhang said.
Wang Yunfei, a Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times on Thursday that China and Egypt enjoy good military relations, and their joint exercise further enhanced mutual understanding and friendship.
The two countries' air forces share some similar training methods and tactics, and the joint exercise could pave the way for potential equipment cooperation in the future, Wang Yunfei said, noting that the Egyptian side will get an opportunity to closely observe the Chinese warplanes' capabilities.
Wang Yunfei also mentioned that, as flying to Egypt is a long-distance flight, such maneuvers could boost the PLA Air Force's long-distance combat capabilities and adaptability to diverse environments in different regions.
Meanwhile, the Chinese and Thai militaries are holding the Falcon Strike 2026 joint air force training in Thailand in August.
The Chinese side will send multiple types of aircraft and units, including ground-based air defense forces. The two sides will train on subjects such as joint air defense and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. The training marks the ninth of its kind between the two air forces and is aimed at further deepening the traditional friendship and practical cooperation between China and Thailand, Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, a spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, said on July 30.
According to a video posted by state broadcaster CCTV on August 13, China's Y-20 transport aircraft, J-10C fighter jets and J-10S fighter-trainers, and JAS 39 Gripen fighter jets and Alpha Jet light attack/trainer aircraft from Thailand participated in the drill.

The ability to conduct concurrent joint training with Belarus in China, Thailand in Southeast Asia and Egypt in Africa reflects the PLA Air Force's growing capacity for global engagement and rapid deployment.
The Zhisheng (Victory) documentary series released around Army Day also showcased the PLA Air Force's capabilities.
Footage revealed the systematic application of three types of UAVs providing intelligence support to the PLA Army, Navy and Rocket Force, with the GJ-3A armed reconnaissance drone making its first public appearance. The footage also showed an H-6N bomber carrying a large missile under its fuselage, which a Chinese expert said could be a powerful air-launched ballistic missile capable of conducting anti-ship or ground-strike missions. Some reports identified the large missile as the nuclear-capable JL-1.
The PLA Air Force is building a modern force that is versatile, agile and capable of operating across domains, ready to safeguard China's national interests and contribute to regional peace, Wang Ya'nan noted.
。    文峰塔始建于北宋年间，明朝时毁于战火（明末闯王李自成进攻洛阳城时推毁了文峰塔），至清朝初期得以重建，保留至今。    塔高约33米，由塔基、塔身和塔刹三部分组成，内留砖塔心，每层之间建术质楼板和楼梯，可盘旋而上。如今为保护古塔，已将塔门封闭。         走至文峰塔北可以看到，塔一至八层向北各开一弧形拱门，皆有门额（第一层已将塔门封闭。门额损毁，对联可辨识为“楹苑桃李接东壁，楼上风云通北斗”，五到九层门额已识不清。二层门额“二耀临门”，三层门额“三才近楼”，四层门额“四辅交紫”）；第九层则四面各开一弧形拱门，可供远望。    如此修建则体现了文峰塔独特的军事意义顶层四面开门，若遇战争可于塔顶设岗放哨，居高临下，便于守城。         文峰塔的塔名，与其供奉的文昌、魁星二神有关。文昌，又名文曲星、文星，最早为古代神话中主宰功名、禄位的神，后为道教所承袭。元仁宗延祐三年(公元1316年)，将梓潼帝君加封为“辅元开化文昌司禄宏仁帝君”，与文昌合二为一，称文昌帝君。    魁星源于古代星宿崇拜。汉代《孝经纬·援神契》说：“奎主文章。”后在科举制中，文人考取“五经”第一名的，被称作“经魁”。因“魁”与“奎”同音，又有“首”之义，人们便将主掌文运的奎星改为魁星信仰。         文昌、魁星二神，在过去受到文人的普遍崇拜。建塔奉祀文昌、魁星，意在期盼洛阳文化昌盛，多出人才。    北宋西京洛阳城东南一带，在唐武周时期曾开挖新潭，作为隋唐大运河的漕运码头，鼎盛时能容上万艘船只停靠。从五代到北宋，新潭逐渐损毁荒废，金以后基本无存，其遗址即在今文峰塔附近。    原来新潭所在的位置，是全城的最低洼处。北宋在其上始建文峰塔，填补缺陷，当为祈求洛阳城地势平衡。         《相宅经纂》卷二讲道：“凡都省、府、州、县、乡、村，人文不利，不发科甲者，可于甲、巽、丙、丁四方位上择其吉地，立一文笔尖峰，只要高过别山，即发科甲。”     洛阳地势是北高南低，落差很大，修建形如毛笔的文峰塔，高耸入云，既可接纳天地灵气，弥补地势低洼的不足，更能在此基础上促使该地文运兴盛，科举夺魁。         如今     以文峰塔为核心的洛邑古城     经过精心打造     已成为洛阳     新的景区和名片返回，查看更多。
