A Chinese J-16 fighter Photo: VCGChinese state media on Monday released footage from the first day of flight training held Saturday during the China-Egypt Eagles of Civilization 2026 joint training exercise, showing PLA J-16s engaging in air combat drills against Egyptian MiG-29 and Rafale fighters. A Chinese expert said this is the first joint exercise featuring both the J-16 and the Rafale, reflecting strong mutual trust and a high level of coordination between the two air forces.
The first day's training focused on one-on-one air combat between different aircraft types. As fighters from both air forces took off in succession, pilots engaged in intense confrontations under realistic combat scenarios, the CCTV News military channel reported.
Before the flight training, Chinese and Egyptian pilots delivered briefings on their respective aircraft capabilities. The two sides then held in-depth discussions on the exercise subjects, clarifying flight safety rules, airspace regulations, takeoff and landing procedures and emergency response plans, said the report.
"The China-Egypt joint air training is progressing from basic one-on-one and two-on-two air combat to more systematic joint operations. As mutual understanding between pilots grows, they can more effectively exchange tactical concepts and operational techniques, which helps enhance the technical and tactical proficiency of both sides," Shen Hao, a member of a PLA Air Force unit, was quoted as saying by the PLA Air Force in a press release on Monday.
Egypt's Ministry of Defense spokesperson posted on social media platform X on Saturday that the joint training between China and Egypt had commenced, releasing images of the participating aircraft - Egypt's MiG-29 and Rafale fighters, and China's J-16 fighter.

Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of the Beijing-based Aerospace Knowledge magazine, told the Global Times on Monday that this joint exercise marks the first time China has deployed the J-16 and the first time Egypt's Rafale fighters have participated, a development worth noting. It reflects a relatively high level of mutual trust between the two militaries and a substantial standard of joint training.
Apart from the French military, India and Egypt are some of its main users. This presents a rare opportunity for China to gain familiarity with the Rafale in a joint training setting. As a flagship product of Dassault Aviation, the Rafale represents a major design philosophy of advanced European aerospace equipment, Wang said.
Although the J-16, deployed by China for this long-range training mission in Egypt, evolved from the original Soviet-era platform, it has been completely transformed and now plays a key role within China's aviation system. Capable of carrying a variety of munitions, it can perform electronic warfare, ground strikes and long-range air-to-air combat, making it a highly versatile platform, Wang explained.
Song Zhongping, a Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times previously that the J-16 heavy fighter jets' first participation in the China-Egypt joint air force training exercise marks an upgrade from 2025's deployment of medium-sized J-10Cs in the drill, reflecting broader and more advanced overseas training by the PLA Air Force.
The two aircraft belong to the same generation, but the Rafale's overall combat capabilities may not be as comprehensive as those of the J-16, which has been continuously upgraded as part of China's aviation system development, Wang said.
Wang noted that the main objectives are to enhance mutual trust and familiarity with each other's equipment, understanding flight performance, medium- and close-range maneuverability and basic weapon configurations.
Moreover, as the Rafale is also deployed in countries neighboring China, understanding its performance characteristics through joint training holds practical significance for the country, Wang added.
"The Egyptian pilots' rigorous training discipline, close coordination and solid technical skills left a deep impression on us. Through mutual learning and close exchanges during the exercise, we not only strengthened our bonds but also improved our technical and tactical capabilities together. Joint training with foreign forces has provided a valuable platform for our pilots to sharpen their skills," Ning Yiming, a member of a PLA Air Force unit, was quoted by the PLA Air Force as saying.
The opening ceremony of the joint training was held on Friday. Commanders from both sides delivered speeches, reviewing the history of air force exchanges between the two countries and the achievements of the first joint exercise in 2025. They outlined the objectives of this year's training and expressed hopes that participating personnel would seize the opportunity to learn from each other, build mutual trust and carry forward their traditional friendship, PLA Air Force said.
。 美国友人“赛考斯”时隔20余年重返中国:我回到了我的第二个家;感谢中国,让我成为更好的人;将与殷玉珍重逢
应中国教育国际交流协会邀请,支持中国治沙事业的美国友人“赛考斯”(本名罗纳德·萨科尔斯基)23日凌晨抵达北京。他将于8月23日至9月1日访问北京、内蒙古、河南三地,再续一段跨越山海的中美民间友谊。

“我回来了”
27年前,在中国洛阳市当外教的“赛考斯”从电视新闻中看到中国妇女殷玉珍种树治沙。小小的善意种子就此萌发,5000美元捐款跨越重洋与漫长时光,一片黄沙化成5万棵树组成的绿海。27年后,殷玉珍通过社交媒体跨洋寻找当年的友人,让她记忆中的“赛考斯”和一段中美友谊佳话重新进入公众视野。

此次,时隔20余年再度来到中国,“赛考斯”用中文说出“我回来了”。他告诉记者,“当飞机着陆时,我意识到,我回到了我的第二个家,我将看到我的‘家人’”。

此次抵京,经过十余小时跨洋飞行的“赛考斯”难掩激动,他直言自己感慨万千,丝毫没有疲惫之感。对他来说,此行就像是一个快乐的小孩在过圣诞节。

D | 他想去看看殷玉珍,看看森林,也想见到昔日的学生和同事,这是他从未想过会实现的梦想。

“赛考斯”坦言,自己从未想过当时资助种植的树会变成森林,想对殷玉珍说声谢谢,她让中国更加美丽。他还透露,行李箱里面有他精心为中国朋友准备的礼物。
过去20余年,“赛考斯”一直关注着中国的变化,他曾在受访时表示,过去几十年中国开展的荒漠化防治项目是一个规模巨大的工程,“中国人民因为热爱祖国而愿意作出牺牲,很了不起”。

“美中可以共建和平世界”
对于和殷玉珍的重逢,“赛考斯”早有期待。

在“赛考斯”看来,这棵树是美中两个普通人之间的连结,也是美中民间友好的一个例证。他曾说,“如果一个来自美国宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的普通老师,能够因为一次偶然的机会,认识中国沙漠里一位普通的治沙女性,并共同创造出今天这样一个关于5万棵树的故事。

H | 那么100个人能创造什么?我们不一定把它叫作‘树’,可以叫作——人与人之间的联系。”
实际上,在中国的生活经历一直深深影响着“赛考斯”,他曾在接受中新社记者专访时表示,“中国教会我的,都是生活中最简单、却也是最重要的东西。中国让我学会尊重,还教会了我什么是真正的友谊。这些东西,会陪伴我一辈子。”
23日凌晨抵达北京时,他将自己与殷玉珍的缘分描述为“一段由上天书写的故事”。“我只是扮演好自己的角色,殷玉珍才是真正的英雄。这是故事的一个篇章。

I | 即将要去的那片森林,将会是全新的篇章。”
“赛考斯”说,等到这次行程结束,他希望可以向世界传递一个信号:美中两国是可以携手合作,共建和平世界的。

J | “把关注点放在两国共通之处,我们就能够建设更美好的世界。
