Video | I Am the Boundary Marker in the Coastal Sky! H-6K Pilot Calmly Responds to Foreign Military Aircraft Approaching and Monitoring
During a cruise mission
H-6K pilots
encountered foreign military aircraft closely monitoring them
in numbers and types far exceeding previous encounters
See how they calmly responded↓
“Let them jump around beside us
Our altitude remains unchanged, our course steady”
“We saw from a distance
an aircraft charging towards us from the right front
possibly trying to intimidate us
with its high speed
to make us change our course”
During a cruise mission
Air Force aviator Zhu Li and his comrades
encountered foreign military aircraft closely monitoring them
in numbers and types far exceeding previous encounters
Air Force aviator Zhu Li recalled:
“Let them jump around beside us
Our altitude remains unchanged, our course steady
When we reached the coast, I was above it
I am the boundary marker
I cannot retreat
Because behind us is our country”
“As long as there is a command
we will definitely accomplish the great cause of national reunification”
Zhu Li's unit in the Air Force
has long faced the complex air situation along the southeastern coast
from daily air situation responses to emergency combat readiness mobilizations
“Responding to orders and deploying immediately”
is the daily routine of this unit's officers and soldiers
During the “Joint Sword-2024A” exercise
the officers and soldiers were deployed on a rainy night
Fighter jets flew through the clouds, heading to the mission airspace
This was pilot Li Dexin's
first time flying a fighter jet beyond the island chain
approaching the nation's treasure island
He captured precious images of the national flag and military flag
framed with the Central Mountain Range
Air Force aviator Li Dexin recalled:
“At first, I couldn't see anything in the clouds
I felt very disappointed
But suddenly, in a moment
the Central Mountain Range of the treasure island
slowly revealed itself through the gaps in the clouds
It felt like slowly unveiling its veil
very beautiful
I framed the national flag and military flag together
this was also my wish and hope”
Li Dexin said
once you truly fly past
you long to fly past again
After that
he and his comrades successively carried out
multiple exercises such as “Joint Sword-2024B” and “Mission of Justice-2025”
Facing the complex air situation along the southeastern coast for a long time
the officers and soldiers are always in a state of readiness to fight
and must never let their guard down
Air Force aviator Zhu Li:
“In the future, to create victory
I will definitely be one of them”
If there is no opportunity to catch up
I will definitely be
a silent support in the background”
Air Force aviator Duan Haoran:
“The pressure is a persistent sense of urgency
to solidly do my own work
Today, with the long tether in hand, when will we bind the azure dragon
It is now
As long as there is a command
we will definitely accomplish the great cause of national reunification”
