Recently, a certain unit of the Southern Theater Command Navy

organized aerial rescue personnel for maritime parachuting training

to test rapid delivery and long-range rescue capabilities

under complex sea conditions.

Inside the cabin,

the aerial rescue personnel quickly organized their parachute gear,

checked their rescue equipment,

fastened their safety buckles,

and prepared to exit the aircraft in sequence.

“Jump!”

With the drop command,

the rescuers leaped out of the cabin one after another,

the white parachutes quickly opened in the air,

blossoming over the azure sea.

In the air,

the rescuers kept a close eye on the target on the sea,

constantly manipulating the parachute lines and correcting their landing points,

adjusting their gliding trajectory with the sea breeze.

Once they approached the target area accurately,

the rescuers quickly released their parachute gear

and carried out self-rescue and mutual rescue operations at sea.

This training

was closely aligned with complex sea conditions,

focusing on honing

airborne parachute control skills

and sea survival and emergency rescue capabilities.
