Three types of cutting-edge stealth fighters from China and Russia have showcased their aerial prowess with thrilling acrobatic maneuvers at the ongoing Airshow China in Zhuhai City.
Two homegrown J-20 heavy stealth fighter jets took to the sky on Friday, performing synchronized flight alongside a series of sharp, tight turns. Despite overcast weather conditions in Zhuhai, pilots executed the complex maneuvers with precision, a testament to their exceptional skill.
Next up was J-35, a medium-sized multi-role stealth fighter capable of both air superiority and strike missions against ground and maritime targets.
The aircraft performed a striking vertical climb, disappearing into the clouds as part of its awe-inspiring aerial display.
Another highlight was Russia's fifth-generation Su-57 fighter that has made its debut at Airshow China. The single-seat twin-engine jet features a supersonic cruising speed, internal weapons, radio-absorbing coating and sophisticated instruments aboard.
Su-57 staged dazzling stuns during the air show's opening ceremony on Tuesday, marking the first time a foreign stealth aircraft has landed in China.
The 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, also known as Airshow China, is the largest air show in the country. Held from Nov 12 to 17 in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, the event showcases an impressive lineup of cutting-edge military hardware while offering a glimpse into the latest achievements in the modernization of the Chinese military.

Macao has been emerging as a global hub for conventions and exhibitions in recent years by exploring the enormous opportunities in the sector, driving the region to advance its economic diversification and embrace a brighter future.
Macao has received many awards this year, such as the Best Convention City (Asia) and the Best BT-MICE City, showcasing the recognition for and influence of Macao's exhibition industry.
More than 1,000 electronic game enthusiasts from all over the world gathered recently in Macao to participate in a esports themed event.
Su Zhili, organizer of the event, said that Macao's rich experience in hosting large-scale events, coupled with its good infrastructure, has driven him to choose the region as an ideal destination to hold such an activity.
"Macao has held many similar large-scale events. It has rich experience, and the facilities at the venue are relatively mature, so we can start our work comfortably," said Su.
During the first three quarters of 2024, Macao held more than 1,000 conferences and exhibitions in total.
"We will invite more professional, special conferences to be held in Macao and also cultivate more exhibition brands with international influence in Macao, so as to promote Macao's exhibitions to be more market-oriented, professional, international, digital and greener from various aspects. This is our goal," said Elaine Wong, member of the Macao Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute.
In addition, multiple large exhibitions and conferences, such as the Macao International Trade and Investment fair, the Macao Franchise Expo, and the International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum, are held regularly in Macao.
With the introduction of a series of policies and measures to facilitate the exchanges between the mainland and Macao, as well as the construction and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, Macao's convention and exhibition industry will embrace more opportunities for development in the foreseeable future.
"We have such a good industrial base in the Greater Bay Area. The mode of 'Convention and Exhibition + Industry' not only integrates the industries of Macao, but also the industries of the Greater Bay Area. In addition, Macao actively integrates into the national development and plays a role in the Belt and Road. Why are we so confident in Macao's convention and exhibition sector? Because it is backed by the motherland, and the country gives Macao great support," said Alan Ho, chairman of the Macao Association of Convention, Exhibition and Tourism Sectors.
