China Flanker Thread II

I can't believe people on the internet actually entertained the idea of PLAAF pilots using English in actual combat. One clearly edited video doesn't prove the rule. At most it was either dubbed in English during the editing or it's some sort of disinfo or pilots playing "blue force". Somehow this becomes "WOW PLAAF speaks English during combat?!" lol

There's a rumor that the PLAAF operates more Flankers than the Russians themselves do. Is this true?
This may be a dumb question, but how can we know whether it's J-16D? From the lack of the pitot tube usually on the tip of the radar radome?
Do we include Su-34s as flankers?
Wow didn't realise. If those 24 PLAAF Su-35s were not purchased and went into the VKS, the numbers would be 526 vs 544 or thereabouts!

If the PLAAF didn't purchase those Su-35's, it would've been 526 vs. 520. I don't think the Russians would buy additional 24 Su-35's if the Chinese didn't buy them... If the Russians need additional Su-35's, then it would've been 550 vs. 544 now.
Could you elaborate?
