记者18日获悉,国产新一代隐身战斗机歼-20列阵空军“强军先锋飞行大队”。

BEIJING, June 21 -- It was learned from the PLA Air Force on June 18 that a batch of J-20s, new-generation stealth fighter jets independently developed by China, has been recently commissioned to a heroic aviation group of the PLA Air Force.

“强军先锋飞行大队”,即2019年被中央军委授予“强军先锋飞行大队”荣誉称号的空军航空兵某旅飞行一大队。

The hero aviation group is the No.1 aviation group with a brigade under the PLA Air Force, which has been bestowed the honorary title “Pioneer Aviation Group in Strengthening the Military” by China’s Central Military Commission (CMC) in 2019.

该大队的第一代飞行员在抗美援朝战场上首创人民空军历史上空战、近战、夜战歼敌纪录,取得击落击伤92架敌机的辉煌战绩。

The first-generation pilots assigned to this group have made the first records of air combats, dog fights, and night battles in the history of the PLA Air Force on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, where they had shot down and stricken 92 enemy fighters in total.

除了“强军先锋飞行大队”,空军曾在2019年10月发布消息,歼-20列阵“王海大队”所在部队。那也是一支战功卓著的部队,曾经击落击伤敌机59架,涌现出王海、孙生禄等多位空军战斗英雄。

In addition to this group, the J-20s were also announced by the PLA Air Force in October 2019 to be commissioned to the “Wanghai Fight Group”, also a unit with outstanding combat exploits of having shot down 59 enemy aircraft and embracing many combat heroes such as Wang Hai and Sun Shenglu.

空军有关部门负责人表示,歼-20战机先后列阵“王海大队”和“强军先锋飞行大队”等人民空军英雄部队,将进一步提升空军综合作战能力,有助于空军更好地肩负起维护国家主权、安全、发展利益的神圣使命。

According to an official from the PLA Air Force, the commissioning of J-20s to such heroic aviation groups is bound to further enhance the comprehensive combat capabilities of the PLA Air Force, and facilitate their sacred missions of safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and development interests.
