Do you have any info on ex-PLAN-NA J-11BH/BHG which are rumoured to be also part of the PLA contingent?

Don’t know if they are ex PLANAF but there is a flanker in the upper right corner.

Just realized that the J-10C is carrying PL-12 this time. Do they carry PL-15 on the other wing or are they trying to up the difficulty on purpose?

Would be interesting to get clearer images of the J-11BH/BSH also participating and if they are also renumbered?

Hi,
before this exercise, in past did they use PL15 with Thai airforce probably
Gripen of Thailand is not latest edition may be that’s why they are using
PL12

This is the new base close to Dachang air base, south of Qingdao also sometimes referred to as Rizhao (?)

It's rather interesting seeing J-11s, J-10s and more operating from Udorn base, which was a major F-4 and RF-4 base during the Vietnam War.

Interesting to see that they J-11BHG attending.

Incidentally, I wonder if the PLA will embark on the J-11BS/Hs to get the G upgrade.
