China Flanker Thread II

Especially interesting, since they are former 19. FD / 57. AR now from the newly re-established 32. FD / 95. AR based Lianyungang-Baitabu.

apparently, the 19th division where this J-11B regiment was at got subordinated to the re-established 32nd division 95 regiment.

You cannot have a division subordinated to a division.

19 Div is in good shape, though it has lost one of its two J-11 regiments. Instead, it gained a new 57 Regiment with J-7B, the former Jinan MRAF Aviation Training Base at Shangqiu.

32 Div was formed from 95 Regiment ex 19 Division 57 Regiment at Lianyungang-Baitabu and 94 Regiment at Xuzhou with J-7B, the former Nanjing MRAF Aviation Training Base.

That's beautiful. We finally get a real clear shot at this thing. It's like SAC is on a public relation session the last couple of days.

franco-russe, use whatever word you choose to use, I don't think it makes a difference.

To the basic fact that the Lianyungang J-11B regiment was resubordinated, no, no difference. But nice, since Lianyungang is in Nanjing MR anyway, so having in under Nanjing's new 32 Div makes better sense than under Jinan MR's 19 Div.

Yes, for a lowly Westerner, she has that exotic foreign chick look to her, tp is right she is beautifull, and I must confess to a long term love of the little Russian Mig 15, skipping all the way to the Mig 29, I must confess, it skipped the Mig 21, until I saw one up close, and was laughlying offered a back seat ride, {one of those come up when we fly it and we'll strap you in deals}, ran my hands lovingly over the beautifull Mig 29 that had been spirited out of a former Soviet Republic by it current owner, riding in the trunk of a Mercedes with two suitcases of cash. She was a shadow of her former self, although very low time and reportedly without fuel controllers, she is now call Natasha and flies with a civilian contractor. Which brings me to the Flanker, I love the Sino Flankers, and as I have said before, I am torn between the Flanker and the Raptor.
