As far as I know from September last year !
Not sure why he usually posts images and "news" that are already months old ...
Because he posts his pictures from mil.sina... which of course has this problem of recycling old pictures.
I've brought the issue of posting old photos and mil.sina photos to him before.
And to be honest I am quite irritated by directly reposting mil.sina pictures onto this forum, because mil.sina is one of the most widely read but also least useful and least up to date Chinese language outlets for PLA matters, and I think many people including people who cannot read Chinese are able to navigate mil.sina quite easily, so reposting them here is kind of useless.
Reposting photos fresh off the press from BBS like cjbdy or f y js OTOH is much more useful for us.
Gents my goodness, why criticize the Brother, who's trying to post something relevant from his own perspective? Lots of us have real jobs and real lives and we do miss lots and lots and maybe we are weeks and months behind... heck sometimes I don't remember things I myself have posted....
Let the brother enjoy the feeling of bringing something to the rest of us, he's making a good faith effort to contribute to this "Forum", this isn't a "news feed", its a discussion among gentlemen of a similar bent, about a topic that we all find interesting??
Now when someone is deliberately mis-leading,,,, (thinking back to the little green men in Crimea, who all of us knew were Russians, but some, even our high up muckity-mucks ridiculed the truth and those of us who stood up for the truth),,,,, that's when we ought to get a little "bent-out-shape"?
and those Chinese Flankers are beautiful airplanes, love seeing them over and over!
Are those Russian or Chinese birds ready for delivery!
Hey Brat ... sorry to ask, but are You getting older ??
How do You think these could be RuAF birds ?? They have clearly visibly the PLAAF star & bar-symbol and even more they show fully open their serials. These are older Su-30MKK from the 3. Division.

To give an example I was surprised to see a thread for the Z-20 helicopter when looking better I saw I had started it myself.
Yep, Master Delft we're on the same page? Heh! Heh! Sometimes I'm thinking this guys brilliant? It'll turn out to be AFB?
Time to offer up my old "A Flanker, is a Flanker, is a Flanker!" That phrase is copyrighted here on SDF, but feel free to use it? Point being that Flankers are Flankers, I can tell an F-15E from a C though? I'm into airframes/configurations, mostly aerodynamics, not so much the minutiae? Yes I am old! LOL,,, I'm still confused by the Chinese purchase of the SU-35?
