An interesting poster from what I assume to be an exhibit about 98th fighter brigade.

From August 13 to September 7, 2019, five J-16s of our brigade participated in Shaheen (Eagle) joint exercise in Pakistan. Our J-16s scored a total of 51 kills after 70 sorties. Kills include 14 J-10Cs, three J-11Bs, one J-11BS, 11 JF-17s, 13 Mirage 5s, and nine F-7PG).

I'm confused here. I thought Shaheen-VII occurred in December 2018?

Also, I am a bit surprised how the J-16s overwhelmed the J-10Cs with the latter having little chances.

To be fair, we don't know the exact scenerios that these kills happened, nor the actual k/d between J-16 and J-10C within the exercise.

J-16 pilot talks about the challenge of evading enemy missiles (BVR?), which is an equation involving enemy position/condition, missile trajectory, and the pilot's current bearing/position. After factoring them in the pilots need to calculate the current location of the enemy missile and what kind of maneuver could shake the lock.
