Definition
战机 has two distinct meanings: (1) a fighter plane or military aircraft designed for combat, and (2) an opportunity for victory — a critical moment in a battle or competition that, if seized, can turn the tide. The second sense is abstract and often used in strategic or competitive contexts (e.g., 把握战机 'seize the opportunity').
