Can anyone help with a translation, but if I'm not mistaken, then the 14. FD, 41st Air Regiment at Wuyishan is said to have gained J-11B ??

The forum users are in disagreement on whether the location is Wuyishan or Liancheng (连城). I'm not sure where this Liangcheng is, as China has several cities and counties named Liangcheng. I assume it's a different air wing/regiment if the picture is taken at Liangcheng.

Intersting, ... Liancheng is usually this base: Liangcheng (ZBSZ) / Longyan Guanzhi (龙岩冠豸山)
Pos: 25°40'35"N 116°44'46"E and usually only a J-6W UCAV-unit is based there.

So it could be any J-11B regiment just spotted there during a deployment.

I pulled up Google maps of the Liancheng coordinates you provided, and the buildings and features match the photos. It looks to me the location is Liancheng, not Wuyishan.

P.S. As for the last photo showing the J-6W UCAVs on the tarmac, I'm not entirely sure if it was taken together with the rest or was simply added to the thread by the poster.

What makes you think those J6s are UCAVs, as opposed to target drones or just mothballed?

If you trace the conversation between I and Deino, you should be asking Deino this question.

Thanks for that link.

Always good to be able to go to the source and see all the photos.
