The pilots of military transport aircraft Antonov An-12 and An-26 exercised their skills by piloting the jumbo transport aircraft at extremely low altitudes.
The pilots practiced the flight over the runway of the military airfield in the Tver region in Central Russia. The aircraft were flying at about only 50 meters above the ground or even less.
During the control check following the results of the training period, the crews practiced the string of actions under the condition of different emergencies. Special attention was paid to go-around landing of the aircraft and interaction with flight management teams at airfields.
China J-16 Fighter Jet Roars Past Beachfront Hotels | Shenyang j-16
Dramatic TikTok videos have captured the moment Chinese military aircraft roar past hotels at a holiday resort during low-altitude training exercises last week.
Guests and hotel staff in Huidong County, which is in the Guangdong province in southern China, filmed from balconies overlooking Pinghai Bay as the People's Liberation Army (PLA) fighter jets did their flybys last Wednesday and Thursday.
The footage posted to Douyin—the version of TikTok released for the Chinese-speaking market—has been seen over a million times.
One hotel manager doing business in the area also known as "Shuangyuewan" or Twin Moon Bay—about 100 miles northeast of Hong Kong—told Newsweek the PLA Air Force flybys were a regular occurrence.
The tropical climate attracts visitors to the beachfront for the sea and the impromptu "air shows," said the hotel manager, who did not wish to give his name.
In one Douyin video, a twin-engine J-16 strike fighter roars past his building at below eye level, revealing its undercarriage as it flies away and pulls upward.
Tourists staying at the seafront last week also captured a two-seater J-16 performing the same stunt before appearing a second time to fly in the opposite direction.
Douyin clips from the same period showed other PLA aircraft flying across Twin Moon Bay. One video showed a lone J-10 fighter, while a pair of J-10s were seen flying together in another.
A search for related videos from the same area showed similar flybys being recorded almost every month of the year since last June 2021.
The area falls under the PLA's Southern Theater Command, headquartered in Guangzhou and covering Yunnan, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong and Macau as part of its jurisdiction.
Social media users in China have noticed an uptick in military aircraft activity in recent weeks. Some suspect the PLA is training for air shows, which are expected to take place across the country in July 2021 as part of the Chinese Communist Party's centennial celebrations.

This was also the last time the Argentinian Air Force's Mirage flew at high speed. Weeks later they were flown to Moron Air Base to be definitely retired.
Watching a Military Jet (F-18?) performing a low flyby from my Paraglider during a flight at Lennox Head - Australia in 2018.
There was a second Jet in the distance, but too far away to be seen in the video.
Paragliding Surprises!
