The "Emergency Mission·2026" exercise aims to simulate major forest fires in karst landform areas and test the actual combat capabilities of the aviation emergency rescue equipment system.
China News Service, Beijing, November 9 (Reporter Ruan Yulin) The reporter learned from the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) on the 9th that the "Emergency Mission 2026"-Chongqing Major Forest Fire Fighting Exercise was held in Fengjie County, Chongqing on the 9th. Various equipment such as the AG600 and "MA" 60 fire extinguishers independently developed by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China were unveiled.
This exercise simulated a major forest fire in a typical karst landform area, and organized 30 exercise subjects in 5 stages around the entire process of forest fire handling. The AG600 and "MA" 60 fire extinguishers independently developed by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, the "Pterosaur"-2 unmanned aerial vehicle, and the aviation emergency rescue command platform developed from the "Wenyu" intelligent management and control system participated in the exercise, forming a three-layer three-dimensional operation mode of "high altitude layer - mid altitude layer - low altitude layer". The system tested the new aviation fire-fighting tactics of high-low matching and combination of distance and distance, and provided practical solutions for solving fire fighting problems in the southwest high mountain forest area.
During the exercise, the "Wing Loong"-2 UAV was responsible for full-area fire reconnaissance and situation monitoring tasks. Two AG600 aircraft and two "MA" 60 fire extinguishers were responsible for suppressing the fire. The aviation emergency rescue command platform was uniformly connected to multiple types of aviation forces, forming a closed loop of aviation rescue command of "discovering the situation - studying and judging tasks - allocating forces - issuing plans - coordinated execution - feedback evaluation".
This exercise fully tested the capabilities and characteristics of the group company's various participating aviation equipment and systems in dealing with complex disaster environments and extreme conditions, successfully completed various rescue missions, and demonstrated the results of the construction of the aviation emergency rescue equipment system. In the future, AVIC will keep a close eye on mission needs, continue to deepen the construction of the aviation emergency rescue system, give full play to the technical advantages of domestic aviation equipment and the value of intelligent command systems, and further build an air defense line to protect the safety of people's lives and property.

State broadcaster CCTV aired footage of the GJ-11 stealth drone's internal weapon bay for the first time. The design, featuring serrated edges, indicates the drone is capable of carrying large missiles while maintaining its stealth profile.

On November 9, the Ministry of Emergency Management and Chongqing Municipality carried out the "Emergency Mission·2026" forest fire fighting exercise in Fengjie County. The exercise simulated complex fire conditions in the southwestern mountains and focused on testing new rescue capabilities such as air-ground coordination, drone swarm firefighting and digital command. A total of more than 1,600 people and more than 40 aircraft participated.

Three major strategic heavy-lifting aircraft—the US C-17, Russian-made Il-76, and Chinese Y-20—have been spotted operating in China. The US aircraft arrived in Shenzhen ahead of President Donald Trump's expected visit for the Apec forum.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier strike group is expected to head to the Middle East to support the naval blockade of Iran. If the handover time overlaps with the current USS Washington and USS Bush, there may be a temporary situation where three US nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are deployed at the same time.

On September 24, 2026, Indonesia officially took over the retired Italian aircraft carrier "Garibaldi" and named it "Srivijaya", becoming the second country in Southeast Asia to own an aircraft carrier. This move highlights its attempt to strengthen its ocean deployment, enhance its national prestige, and cope with strategic competition in the South China Sea and the Indo-Pacific.
The "Red Eagle" aerobatic demonstration team of the Air Force Aviation University flew over Changchun Blue Sky Park in a formation of eight aircraft to celebrate the 77th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force. At about 10 o'clock that day, the performance team changed the formation of red eagle, war eagle and sword and passed through the field three times, and red, yellow and blue smoke was pulled out from the tail of the aircraft. Changchun City will hold the "Flyers Wingspan Changchun" aviation cultural theme event at the same time, including paramotor formation performances, UAV formation light shows, fireworks shows, etc. Citizens and tourists can immersively experience the growth path of pilots and visit real general aviation aircraft. Retired Air Force special-class and first-class pilots will also be present to communicate with the audience.
