Here another image showing the same scene and even if the shelters are already a good hint besides credible rumours to confirm this as Guilin - aka home of the 5th Air Brigade - the more on details might help be be sure!

18 pilots and 10 aircraft, plus 2 commanders who are likely pilots as well. So there are 2 pilots to each aircraft.

Hypothetically If each pilot clocked 200 hours in the air each year, each aircraft would have logged 400 flight hours per year, or 4,000 hours in 10 years, and that also applied to engines' usage and 4,000 hours clocked in 10 years, before MLU of the aircraft.

Hours vary depending on theater of operation. Squads in ETC tasked with intercepting intruders can easily get above 250 hours per year. That said, with unit rotations becoming wide spread practice recently even Central Theater Command can see a lot of action.

It seems that the J20A has already adopted the radar technology of the next-generation fighter aircraft.

Meanwhile, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the J35A will also be quite high.


Here is a summary of the content of the "Yankeesama" talk show this episode:
1. The Type 100 tank has not been finalized. Due to the early start of the project, its anti-drone capability is not as strong. It will undergo intensive modifications within this year.
2. The Jiangnan Shipyard is highly likely not to have a new conventional-powered aircraft carrier. Skilled workers are going to Dalian Shipyard to assist in the construction of the Type 004 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
3. The Type 055 destroyer will continue to be built. The construction plan takes into account war damage.
4. The H20 bomber has some of its functions taken over by the Malan drones. The exact date of its maiden flight may disappoint aviation enthusiasts. It basically features a large aspect ratio, tailless, and stealth configuration.
5. The radar figure of the J-20a is extremely exaggerated. Yankeesama found it so astonishing.
6. The KJ3000 early warning aircraft may conduct joint training flights with the air force this year. The KJ700 represents the specialized functions of the air force's special aircraft.
7. The J-15 suffered several second-class accidents last year. The pilots were fine. It was an issue caused by the engine.
8.The thrust of the WS19 engine is similar to that of the basic model of the AL31 engine.
