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.
。此前独行侠是有送走克莱的打算，但计划是通过交易的方式索要一点未来资产回点血；奈何整个夏天问价的球队寥寥无几，卖不出去又强留着没意思，干脆顺水推舟成人之美，尊重老将意愿，今天正式和克莱达成买断。而克莱的下家很快也确定下来了，待澄清期过后，热火预计用一份为期两年总价值近1300万的合同签下克莱，第二年包含球员选项。

三 | 兜兜转转，克莱又和老战友嘴哥在迈阿密碰头了，勇士冠军锋卫异地重聚。来到暮年阶段的克莱与热火可能称不上天作之合，但适配度还是相当之高的。虽然克莱已经36岁且经历了大伤洗礼，不再是以前攻防一体能够改变比赛的球星，但他带来的投射对于热火来说依旧珍贵；列个数据能直观感受下，克莱生涯命中2899记三分，其他四位潜在首发坤坤、热巴、嘴哥和戴维恩-米切尔一共“才”2466记；这也是为什么热火引进持球大核坤坤后一直在不遗余力地招募射手团；除了克莱外，另一位神射小哈达威也在今夏被招入麾下。其次克莱自己也想找个有争冠实力且能给足上场时间的队伍，纸面上看热火这套班底，满足他再冲一次总冠军的期待。本来一切都挺圆满，直到大伙儿想起了热火队里还有个叫加德纳的年轻人 ....上赛季热火106-102击败独行侠的比赛中，加德纳效仿莫兰特多次辱骂克莱是“铁废物”；克莱当场又懵又气：“不是哥们，你TM是哪根葱？我都不认识你....你也配和我说话？上面那些人才配！（克莱当时指了指热火球馆上空被退役球衣的名宿们）”说白了那时候加德纳就是个无名小卒，拿着双向合同拼了命想表现，嘴上自然没个把门的。好在热火队里明事理人多，当时对骂的时候勇士旧将嘴哥就起身警告过加德纳要尊重老将；赛后热火助教卡隆-巴特勒更是直接带着小伙子找上门，当面给克莱赔了不是。今年3月加德纳不负众望与热火签下三年合同成功转正，新赛季面对克莱估计能深深体会一番什么叫“做人留一线，日后好相见”

热火新赛季首发预计为：米切尔+克莱+嘴哥+坤坤+热巴。

在军备竞赛拉满的东部，你们觉得这一支全新版本的热火能走到多远？
