銆€銆€At 8:20 A.M., a green flare marked the start of the drill, and a dozen H-6 bombers took to the sky.

銆€銆€"Now starts radio silence! Keep your course by compass and meters!" said the drill commander.

銆€銆€On the mark, the lead bomber makes a drastic descent towards the sea surface, followed by his wingmen. The bomber pilots approach the combat zone at an extremely low attitude, an effective way to avoid radar detection.

銆€銆€At 9:45 A.M., as the bombers close in on the combat zone, they pull up to an attitude of 600 meters and spot the target in distance.

銆€銆€"Target in sight! Target locked!" reports each pilot. Soon after, bomb bay doors open and explosives hit the target area, splashing the water below.

銆€銆€In recent years, this naval bomber squadron has successfully practiced long-range raids, bomber-fighter coordinated bombing, low attitude stealth raids, and over-the-horizon precision strikes, creating an iron fists that guards China's maritime borders.
