China Flanker Thread III (land based, exclude J-15)

[Buncheong]

Thank you, friend!

As a follow-up question, has the J-11BG already been largely replaced by newer platforms in PLAAF? It sounds that way as I read through this thread but my (previous) understanding was that the AESA radars and other upgrades would keep them in service for a long time ...

The single seat Flankers, like J-11BG, will eventually be replaced with the J-20.
Of course the older aircraft will go first.

Thanks for the helpful reply, I sure appreciate it.
