中国空军伊尔-76运输机抵达澳大利亚珀斯参与搜寻

Two highly-anticipated Chinese Air Force planes arrived Saturday afternoon at the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Pearce Air Force base to drive the ongoing¹ search for signs of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 now focusing on the southern Indian Ocean.

Commander Liu dianjun told Xinhua he hoped the integration² of Chinese military assets can precipitate³ a swift conclusion to the agonizing⁴ international search for MH370 that has gone missing since March 8.

With Australian and New Zealand airforce P3 Orions limited by the vast distances and their dependence⁵ on infrared⁶ imaging, the Chinese IL-76 will be a welcome relief to the authorities here as the challenges of the task at hand begin to overwhelm available resources.

Australia's Acting⁷ Prime Minister Warren Truss told media earlier Saturday that the IL-76 was certain to play a key role in the coming critical days as the air search changed from radar⁸ detection to visual sightings.
