According to a report by China Central Television on Monday (June 6) cited by the Chinese state-run media Global Times, the Second Flying Brigade of a certain aviation regiment of the Chinese Air Force has become the first to carry out a "night orbit" since the People's Liberation Army's H-19K bombers entered service. "The unit that flew the mission to Taiwan".
It is worth noting that in May 2018, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense made a rare announcement that it had discovered for the first time that the People’s Liberation Army’s H-5K bombers were flying around Taiwan at night, but there was almost no relevant information later.
After the latest CCTV report appeared, Chinese military aviation expert Fu Qianshao analyzed that such activities of the People's Liberation Army around Taiwan at night are expected to become a routine mission to issue a warning to Taiwanese independence activists.
In addition, Fu Qianshao believes that the H-6K flying around Taiwan at night proves that the fleet's ability to perform missions 24 hours a day is increasing day by day. Chinese Air Force flight instructor Wei Xiaogang also reported that the Chinese Air Force has the ability to carry out missions anytime, anywhere, day or night or before dawn.
