Army aviation is a modern high-tech force with helicopters as its main equipment. In the 1980s, the Army Air Force entered the ranks of the PLA as the youngest unit. The flying iron wing inserted wings for the army's take-off, ending the history that the army only had infantry. The rapid development of the army and air force shows that our army has achieved a new leap from single-machine combat to multi-dimensional three-dimensional combat.

A Chinese army aviation actual combat exercise quietly started. The mountain pass near Chaoqigeer is the only way for the Blue Army's left-wing armored attack force. About six kilometers away from the mountain pass is a continuous mountain range, which provides great convenience for helicopter ambush. With the support of the intelligence information of the Red Army's ground reconnaissance troops, the Army Aviation Helicopter was hidden in the mountainous area in advance. When the enemy passed through the mountain pass, the Red Army helicopter gunships quickly dispatched, knocked out a batch of tanks and adjusted a combat position. Within five minutes, a helicopter was dispatched at a time, destroying seven enemy armored and infantry fighting vehicles.

The army aviation relied on helicopter gunships to delay the enemy's attack for nearly an hour and a half. Until the end of the whole battle, the blue army left-wing combat formation has not yet entered the core combat area, declaring the confrontation failed.

Sheng Jianzhong, a brigade commander of the 72nd Army of the Chinese Army, said that the advantages of army aviation mainly lie in its quick response ability and strong maneuverability, which is usually three to four times faster than ground maneuvering. Helicopters have a far-reaching impact on modern land warfare patterns. Because of its air superiority to seize the height of trees, the appearance of helicopters on the battlefield has had a far-reaching impact on the modern land warfare model.

In the early 1960 s, the United States first put armed helicopters into the battlefield in Vietnam as the main equipment of the army, revealing the unique role of armed helicopters in the war.

In a series of local wars since then, armed helicopters have become the "nemesis" of the ground tank forces known as the "king of land warfare", bringing devastating disasters to the enemy.

After the war, building a flying army has become the pursuit goal of all countries in the world.

At this time, China's army aviation also began a difficult start. The Army Air Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was established in June 1986, and the First Air Brigade was established in June 1988. After construction, it has developed into a modern air assault force with various types, considerable scale and combat capability, with 10 aviation corps.

In the 30 years since the founding of the Chinese Army Aviation, the Army Aviation Eagle has flown over the mountains and rivers of the motherland, reaching Daxinganling in the north, Pamirs in the west, southeast coast in the east and southwest border in the south. Under the blue sky in Wan Li, the army has been beaten and honed, and its skills and wings have been strengthened. Generations of army aviation have turned countless impossibilities into possibilities with their skillful technical and tactical level and mission loyalty. In the non-traditional security fields such as emergency rescue, emergency stability, spacecraft recovery, and foreign exchanges and cooperation, the Chinese Army Aviation Eagle fighter has played an important role.

The air force of the Chinese Army has entered a new stage of development, and the "air light cavalry" has reached a new height, which will more effectively defend China's national interests from foreign aggression.
