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.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Saturday that the nation will not yield to external pressure as U.S. President Donald Trump considers limited military strikes to influence the ongoing nuclear talks with the Islamic republic.

Pezeshkian said that despite the problems and harm caused by the enemy, the Iranian people will never yield to the enemy's bullying and coercion, noting that facing difficulties, Iran is determined to overcome challenges and defend national dignity.

Iran's stance comes as Trump confirmed on Friday that he is weighing "preliminary limited military strikes" to force Iran to accept U.S. demands regarding a nuclear agreement.

Also on Saturday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry officially labeled the naval and air forces of all European Union states as "terrorist organizations". The move is a response to the EU's recent decision to list Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps as a "terrorist organization".

Iranian political analysts say the continued pressure and military buildup of the United States in the Middle East during the nuclear negotiations suggest that the U.S. negotiation strategy may be aimed at securing domestic support in the U.S. rather than truly resolving disputes.

Iranian political analyst Foad Izadi noted that history shows the U.S. is rarely sincere in seeking a negotiated resolution. A successful negotiation would require the United States to make concessions, which would give Iran breathing room to recuperate. He argues that the U.S. goal is to overthrow the Iranian regime, so there is no reason to create such space for Iran’s development. Izadi said he believes the U.S. participates in talks only to shore up domestic support. Although the U.S. Congress is divided on Iran, Trump can claim "the U.S. tried negotiations but failed" to build the political backing needed for military action.

Similarly, another Iranian analyst said that the current U.S. strategy typically involves creating an initial sense of optimism before gradually escalating demands and setting strict deadlines. The analyst described this pattern as a signature tactic designed to force Iran into a corner where it must either accept unfavorable terms or face the threat of conflict. This pattern has effectively become a standard tactic used by the United States, especially the Trump administration, in handling international and regional issues.

Recent statements and actions of Iran indicate that while Iran has not abandoned diplomacy as a means of resolving differences, it is also maintaining military preparedness. Analysts warn that as the Iran-U.S. military standoff persists, alongside the involvement of Israel, the risk of conflict and war in the Middle East remains elevated.
