The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force's August 1st aerobatics team arrived in the port city of Zhuhai in south China's Guangdong Province on Tuesday with J-10C fighter jets for the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, or Airshow China.
The J-10C is a supersonic, multipurpose fighter jet independently developed by China that is capable of maintaining short- and medium-range air supremacy, and can strike both ground and sea targets.
Seven revamped J-10C of the August 1st aerobatics team will make their debut at this year's air show, which will take place from Nov. 12-17, with the participation of 1,022 companies from 47 countries and regions.
The August 1st team was launched over six decades ago and was named after the date on which the PLA was founded. It has performed over 700 air shows for over 700 delegations from more than 170 countries and regions.
In addition, Russia's Warrior aerobatic team will make a stunning comeback after an absence of eight years.
