In the vast sky, the clouds are rolling. Recently, a unit of the Southern Theater Command Air Force organized cross-day-and-night aerial refueling training.

As the commander issued the order, several fighter jets roared into the sky, heading towards the designated airspace. Above the clouds, the pilots were fully focused, maneuvering the fighter jets to adjust their posture, successfully docking with the tanker to complete the aerial refueling operation.

As night fell, the pilots once again took to the skies to conduct night aerial refueling training. The pilots skillfully controlled the aircraft, patiently correcting their posture, and successfully completed the training.
