Interesting - lots of good experience for PLAAF to get some intelligence on one of the most of advanced variants of the M2k-9's.
Both ROCAF and IAF are phasing it out probably and neither uses it as a top dog, so Rafale will probably be more interesting.
Heard the UAE lost 0:8 in the exercise... anyone can confirm?
LMAO if true. PLA has 0 chill, never hold back..

Even if it is true, it means nothing.
It's more productive to the discourse if we pretend that kill/loss ratios in these exercises don't exist, even if they are rumoured or even if they are confirmed.
Exercise outcomes aren't useful if we don't know the exercise parameters, rules of engagement, deliberate withholding of capabilities and tactics, and if we don't know those it's better just to pretend we haven't seen or heard anything.

Taking exercise outcomes out of context results in claims such as the Su-30KMI is superior to any fighter aircraft in the USAF.
Yes.
In general, if there are any rumours about "kill/loss" ratios or outcomes in general, for any sort of exercise, more time should probably be spent acknowledging why it should (or shouldn't) be taken seriously rather than the supposed ratios or outcomes itself.

NORAD detected, tracked, and intercepted two Russian TU-95 and two PRC H-6 military aircraft operating in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on July 24, 2024. NORAD fighter jets from the United States and Canada conducted the intercept.
In March, NORAD commander Gen. Gregory M. Guillot warned that "we haven’t seen Chinese aircraft operate near our air defense identification zones yet, but I think that that’s coming as early as this year."
