Zhou Chenming, a researcher with the Beijing-based Yuan Wang military science technology think tank, said the PLA was learning from the Russian army, especially about the use of drones. Retired PLA instructor Song Zhongping said the scenarios in the CCTV programme appeared to mirror combat conditions in Ukraine. "The Ukraine war has inspired many militaries in their modernisation efforts," Song said. "The PLA has kept a close eye [on the Ukraine war] to update training."

"As a user of ship-borne weapons, I would share my [naval flight experiences] with comrades working in the equipment department and try efforts to improve our operational system, finding a better way to help China's aircraft carrier undertaking," Xu told a documentary on CCTV. The launch in June of China's third and most advanced carrier, the Fujian, has increased the demand for more outstanding carrier-based pilots like Xu. The new aircraft combat platform's electromagnetic catapults — similar to those on the USS Gerald R. Ford supercarrier — means the PLA Navy will have to master a new launch and recovery system.
