according to the u.s. defense one website, the u.s. air force's "bamboo eagle 24-3" exercise recently concluded in the western pacific region. the report said that this military exercise was a rare large-scale actual combat exercise of the u.s. air force in recent years.

even the latest f-35 fighter jets of the us military are unable to gain an advantage in any performance aspect when facing the latest fighter jets equipped by its hypothetical enemies.

it is reported that "bamboo eagle 24-3" is an upgraded version of the us air force's "red flag" series of exercises, focusing on the ability of the us military and its allies to disperse and regenerate combat power after the main combat base is destroyed in the war. the exercise brought together more than 3,000 military personnel from more than 20 troops and deployed more than 150 military aircraft of various types, including f-22 and f-35a stealth fighters, f-15 and f-16 fighters, b-1b and b-52 strategic bombers, etc. in addition, multiple types of aerial refueling aircraft, early warning aircraft, transport aircraft and electronic reconnaissance aircraft also appeared in the exercise airspace.

according to the report, in order to highlight the authenticity, a no-fly zone spanning 1,000 kilometers and at an altitude of 24,000 meters was set up for this exercise. the combat subjects were also relatively complex, including simulations of the opponent's fighter jets, air defense systems, network systems, and tactical applications, to enhance the realism and confrontation intensity of the exercise. for example, the 57th information adversary squadron of the 57th wing of the us air force was responsible for simulating the opponent's attacks on computer networks and information systems; the 507th air defense adversary squadron was responsible for simulating the opponent's air defense systems, etc.

it is worth noting that this military exercise focuses on testing the us air force's "agile combat use" concept. this concept aims to improve the survivability and combat effectiveness of the us military in a restricted environment, and includes four core elements: dispersed deployment, rapid mobility, flexible use and multi-domain operations. according to the report, according to the us air force plan, once a large-scale conflict breaks out, the us air force will improve the wartime survivability of us fighter jets by quickly dispersing troops to multiple small bases while maintaining frequent mobility. in addition, the strategy also emphasizes cross-service and cross-domain collaborative operations to ensure the us military's dominant position on future battlefields.

according to u.s. media reports, since 2020, the u.s. air force central command has begun conducting "agile combat employment" exercises in the middle east, including hot pit refueling, ammunition transportation, dynamic command and control in non-traditional locations. the "bamboo eagle 24-3" military exercise stress-tested the entire chain of command, for example, testing the combat effectiveness of the air force wing when it was forced to disperse and regroup.

the report said that the results of the exercise showed that the united states should conduct more relevant cooperation with its allies, establish temporary air bases in many places around the world, and strengthen the ability to quickly adjust plans in a short period of time. at the same time, a plan should be formulated to quickly convert civilian facilities into military facilities in wartime, such as repairing highways, retaining small storage facilities, and improving ground conditions in relevant areas to meet the standards of landing zones or airdrop zones. in addition, a large number of portable air defense and anti-drone systems that can be quickly loaded should be purchased for the us army and marine corps.
