not sure although most acrobatic/airshow aircraft the mixture is pump directly into the jet nozzle. The hot air activates the chemical mixture to create the smoke.

Well, my eyes told me that the F-7 took off with drop tanks, no bomb. Later, video with the cross-hair rather come from a helicopter than any fixed wing aircraft.
Later: I paused the video and look again, there are bombs but too small.

It's a J-7. It probably can't carry anything heavier.
