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

Various posts about PL-15 moved to Chinese AAM thread, continue discussion there

Chinese air to air missiles

Yes. My point above still stands. I.e. the reason we have not seen any J-11B (including J-11BG etc) with PL-15s is because they may not be outfitted with them. Whether they (and I mean both J-11BG and J-11B) are capable of firing PL-15s or not is a whole other question. But PL-15s may very...

Looks a bit like the new, larger and wider one!

By the way ... This upgraded J-11BHG no. 19 assigned to the STC has been identified as H1082019. It was formerly no. 81189.
If I'm not mistaken, the so far only other J-11 was a J-11BSH identified as no. 83 = H1083083 (former 81883).

Also an interesting image of J-11BHG no. 06 - as such most likely H1082006 - from the same STC PLAN Naval Aviation Brigade like no. 18 - is carrying two huge ECM pods. However IMO they don't look like the known K/RKZ900-x (3. img) or KL700B (4. img) pods.

Can't tell if this is altered or not, but I love these colorful paints. Would love to see one on a J-16

Minor correction … it WAS. … according to the 20694 serial number it was taken when the 18th Air Division was still active
