To encourage the pilots’ capacity to swiftly assume combat status for unexpected scenarios at any moment, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command recently assembled naval aviation force to undertake simulated air combat training after midnight.
The drills took place while US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who allegedly arrived in Singapore late on Sunday night, was said to be planning a trip to Taiwan. Analysts have speculated that the PLA may send aircraft to intercept her plane should it try to land in Taiwan.
A video of the Eastern Theater Command’s training exercises and cutting-edge weapons was also made public on Monday.

“We have everything we need to handle any situation. Bury every invader, fight on orders, and advance toward collaborative and effective operations! We are members of the PLA, and we make a death warrant for the country “In the video, troops from the command spoke.
On Sunday, the night before the 95th anniversary of the foundation of the PLA, CCTV news aired another video footage showing multiple Su-30 fighter jets soaring into the sky in the direction of the training airspace after surviving simulated enemy anti-aircraft weaponry at low altitude.
The fighter planes then got a surprise order to leave training mode and enter top battle readiness to inspect an unidentified air situation. Naval aviation brigade pilot Tang Feilong of the PLA Eastern Theater Command said, “We employed the on-board equipment and technological methods to find the target and promptly flew toward it to drive it away.”
“Afterwards, we patrolled in assigned airspace, waiting for possible battles, and returned to base after the forces replacing us had arrived,” Tang added.
According to Han Chengche, a squadron leader for the brigade, the purpose of the nighttime air combat training is to increase the pilots’ ability to engage in continuous combat on upcoming battlefields.
Drills were conducted as Pelosi touched down in Singapore late on Sunday night to start her journey to Asia. Without stating whether she would travel to Taiwan, Pelosi stated on Twitter that she will travel to Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, and Japan.
If Pelosi’s jet lands in Taiwan, experts advise the PLA to send warplanes to intercept it. Others argued that the PLA should stop Pelosi’s plane by encircling Taiwan with live-fire military drills.
