An airman assigned to a transport aviation regiment of the air force under the PLA Western Theater Command signals a Y-5 transport aircraft to taxi on the runway at an airfield in the west of Sichuan Province during a round-the-clock flight training exercise on Nov. 23, 2017.
This agrees with the observations I made in this post. Since the official media describes the unit as a "transport regiment", perhaps the "5" after the "53" denotes transportation unit and "12" is the number specific to the aircraft.

I think PLANAF 3rd Independent Regiment JL-8s are based in Jiyuan not Xingcheng, contrary to Scramble. This is from last week showing JL-8 83300 and 83207 operating from Jiyuan Airbase. Please send a notification to Scramble when you have the time.

I see three wing tip sails on the upper wing of the Y-5. I remember seeing this years ago as an experiment. Has it been generally introduced or does this happens to the same aircraft of many years ago?
... and the 40th Brigade confirmed
PLAAF-watcher and haohanfw admin reveals 40th Brigade has taken delivery of J-16s.
Current speculation is either the J-11As won't be transferred or if they are, they'll probably go to 55th Brigade.
