Cockpit view showing breathtaking air stunts of China's aerobatic team at air show

Footage recorded by multiple ultra-high-definition cameras installed by China Central Television (CCTV) on performing aircraft of China's Red Falcon Aerobatic Team show breathtaking air stunts performed the Red Falcon pilots from the cockpit view at the ongoing ZhaiHai Airshow in Zhuhai City of south China's Guangdong Province.

The footage showed that eight aircraft of China's Red Falcon Aerobatic Team flew high in the sky, trailing spectacular colored smoke to pay tribute to visitors with unique etiquette.

In their excellent aerobatic display, the Red Falcon pilots performed eight-aircraft flying in formation and thrilling eight-aircraft spiraling diamond maneuver in which the distance between the aircraft is only two meters.

"We have to keep aligning with the aircraft in front to maintain the formation. If the aircraft in front makes a change, those behind it must keep pace with it. If the aircraft in front runs wild, those behind it will also not be flying in an orderly way. So the degree of difficulty for those behind increases exponentially," said Zhang Li, pilot of China's Red Falcon Aerobatic Team.

"This year's Zhuhai Airshow is particularly shocking to me. I am deeply impressed by so many high-tech aircraft of China and their wonderful performances. The pilots are all very smart. I also want to be a pilot in the future and contribute my own strength to our country," said a visit at the Zhuhai Airshow.

The team also displayed famous fancy move which requires four-aircraft formation quickly crossing the vertical runway. The relative speed of the aircraft reached more than 1,000 kilometers per hour. It tested the tacit understanding between the wingmen of leading aircraft and required a high degree of trust between the pilots and precise coordination.

"When the aircraft perform a cross track of flight, the pilots have to accurately position the cross angle and avoid the wake turbulence between two aircraft. The pilots, whether he is the front cockpit or the rear, have to control the aircraft and observe the situation in a higher-level and more accurate manner to ensure the aircraft accurately cross to a point while ensuring safety. It is very difficult to do that," said Cheng Yijun, pilot of China's Red Falcon Aerobatic Team.

The Red Falcon Aerobatic Team was formed by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force in 2011. It is composed of jet-powered Nanchang JL-8 trainers.

Nicaragua's co-foreign minister Valdrack Jaentschke has warned that militarism must never be allowed to rise again, as Japan's recent moves to lift its arms export ban and revise the pacifist Constitution continue to draw international concern.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Tokyo Trials, where Japan's Class-A war criminals from World War II were brought to justice.

In an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN), Valdrack Jaentschke voiced his concern that today's world order is being undermined by interventionism and other challenges.

"It is necessary for us to remember that after the end of World War II, countries worked hard to build a new international order based on international law. However, regrettably, more than 80 years later, we are seeing that this once explored and attempted order is being challenged by interventionism, a confrontational mindset, and tendencies like 'might makes right.' These are precisely the conditions that gave rise to fascism and militarism in the past, which ultimately led to the tragedy of World War II," he said.

He said the international community has a responsibility to pursue a new international order -- one fundamentally grounded in peace.

"Looking back at the history more than eight decades ago and comparing it with today's reality, it is our responsibility to recognize that the world should, and must, build a new international order that is more just, fairer, rooted in international law, based on a logic of mutual benefit and shared success, and fundamentally grounded in peace," said the minister.

"Today, as we revisit the Tokyo Trials, it is meant to remind the world that such a tragedy must never be repeated -- and that we must do everything in our power to prevent it from happening again. We must stop that dark world -- born from militarism, interventionism, and fascism -- from ever returning," he said.
