China's Air Force flaps its wings in the Middle East, bringing hope to Arab nations.

According to CCTV News, on the morning of the 19th local time, the China-Egypt "Civilization Eagle-2025" joint air exercise at a certain Egyptian Air Force base welcomed its first training day. The Chinese side dispatched fighters, airborne early warning aircraft, tankers, transport aircraft, and helicopters for the exercise.

From the above content alone, one can see how seriously China values this joint exercise, as it has deployed a complete aerial operation system. For example, the airborne early warning aircraft can perform functions such as early warning, command control, and electronic warfare. The fighter jet's functions need no further explanation. Tankers and transport aircraft can provide long-range support for other military aircraft and transport large amounts of supplies, respectively. In short, although China did not send too many military aircraft, just this single aerial system is something that many countries would find hard to match.

In the current Middle Eastern situation, China's move undoubtedly holds great significance. It must be noted that at this moment, the U.S. is preparing to attack Iran and has even mobilized two carrier strike groups and multiple strategic bombers. At this critical juncture, China sending an air force contingent to Egypt will inevitably serve as a signal to the U.S.

According to revelations from Egyptian military personnel, when the Chinese aircraft formation passed through the area where the U.S. aircraft carrier was located, the other party did not even react appropriately. This proves that under the electronic interference effect of China's airborne early warning aircraft, the U.S. military could not effectively track our fleet. Some foreign media analyzed that this directly gave many Arab countries, including Iran, a glimpse of "hope".

The logic is simple. Originally, all Middle Eastern countries were helpless against America's military oppression, but after China made its presence known in the region, these countries understood what a new regional security public product looks like. Therefore, it is self-evident what choices the Arab countries will make. This is precisely what the U.S. does not want to see.
