Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLA Navy) made its debut on Tuesday at the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition held in south China, showcasing its Marine Corps' rapid deployment capabilities with a flight performance.
Also known as Airshow China, the event is running from Tuesday to Sunday in Zhuhai, a coastal city in Guangdong Province.
Two Z-20J shipborne helicopters and four Z-8C transport helicopters flew in formation over the Zhuhai Jinwan Airport. Both the types are carrier-based helicopters.
The flight demonstration showcased the corps' ability to quickly deploy marines and equipment to carry out land-based operations, highlighting its rapid response.
The corps is responsible for amphibious assault operations in the Navy.
In recent years, with the commissioning of large amphibious vessels and various types of carrier-based helicopters, the Navy Marine Corps has enhanced its ability to carry out multidimensional assault operations.
