These numbers indicate PLAAF 5th Division at Qingdao. This division is well known for its white Q-5s. Got this from the CDF.

Wait, aren't the regiments with 8xxxx supposed to be PLANAF regiments? Anyhow, nice to finally see the photo of a new regiment.

PLANAF right. Mistype. Not to be confused with the PLAAF 5th Division which is also another Q-5 division and is also another candidate for JH-7A conversion.

Not sure if this is old news or not...

The pic is new, but has quickly spread around since the CFTC promo video was released. CFTC probably didn't expect so much ruckus over a marketing video.

Re: JH-7/JH-7A Thread

some pictures of JH-7A with YJ-83K, it mentionned that this was the 14th division from SSF?

Thanks for posting !! Sadly I can't read the numbers.

... regarding the missiles, are You sure that these are YJ-83K ??? Esp. the one in the 2. + 3. picture looks more like the KD-88 !

Could be wrong. As I remembered, there are only 8 divisions in PLANAF, 1,2,5 in north, 3, 4 in east and 7, 8, 9 in south. No 14th division.

The 14th division of PLAAF located in Jiangxi, equipted with J7 before. Could be them who got JH7A.

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between YJ-83 and KD-88. I always thought they are the same. Just one for the navy, the other for the airforce.

actually, to be honest, I thought the same. But the guy who posted these pictures insisted that they are YJ-83K. I think YJ-83K is supposed to be slightly larger than KD-88 if you saw the previous pictures of them. And also KD-88 has those antennas (which the 1st and 2nd picture has) The third one actually looks like LGB + targetting pod.

Edit: just got another KD-88 picture, you can see those Antennas, looks like the IIR or EO variant.
