China Flanker Thread II

[Deino]

Anyone with an idea, from what unit these are from? J-16 + Su-30MKK - unknown unit ???

Some nice shots of MKKs. By the looks of the nose art they might've participated in the patrol missions around Taiwan.

While not typically anything special on these PLANAF Su-30MK2s, except that they are carrying PL-12s now. So the Russian combat management systems and avionics have been modified or changed to use Chinese ordnance?

This is an old development. Russian Su-30s in PLA service have been integrated with Chinese ordnance years ago.

Hi is it a norm to patrol near the hostile or semi hostile borders with only couple of aam looks like short range missile should have at least a pair of bvrs also if I’m not wrong
Your input will be appreciated on this further

The pictures I posted just underneath show the exact opposite. Only a couple of long range BVRAAM and no short range AAM at all.

US patrols near the Chinese coast typically are likely un-armed in order to avoid provocation!

Hanging a couple of short range AAM would be indicative of a defensive posture, and wouldn't raise to many hackles in a slightly more "prickly" environment...

Why the hell US planes patrol near the Chinese coast? Can't wait for the day Chinese planes patrol near the California coast or Washington DC coast
