Sorry duplication Mod Please remove this posting duplication
Around 200 retired J-6/Mig-19 fighters are thought to have been converted to UAVs as B-6 (J-6W?) drones. The aircraft had the wing-root 30mm guns, ejection seat and other life support systems removed. New remote flight control, navigational (?) and fire control systems including datalink were installed. They are believed to have been stationed in Southeast China facing Taiwan (S/N ). Some s are seen carrying two 250kg bombs under the wings, suggesting their role as low-cost ground attack UCAVs, or as cruise missiles or decoys to probe, disrupt even suppress enemy air defence systems. Therefore the guidance system might include passive radar homing for anti-radiation missions. It was rumored that a further has been developed with the cockpit completely removed. Depending on the cost, B-6 could be modified to fly additional missions including ELINT, ECM and laying naval mines.

Be nice if the Golden Helmet pilot's J-10B used WS-10. It'd provide credibility and confidence for the engine.
But J-11Bs winning golden helmet don't?
Impossible ... we know that all operational B are using the AL-31FN Series 3.
Pardon !??? Where is in that text I posted - assuming it is correct - something written about the J-11B ??

I recall that a J-11B won the golden helmet another time, and have won other air exercises before, so I was pointing out why the J-11B's successes didn't validate the WS-10.
