even this day and age j-8 still has a role as an interceptor
I would love to fly a J6/Mig19 (Fantan?)as it is a pure jet fighter without the electronic enhancements of later more sophisticated 4th/5th gen fighters -like and old1960's-1970's muscle car compared wth todays super computerized cars.

For what type of missile are these launchers made ?
I have an old picture of a J-5A in service with PLAAF in the 80s and similarly equipped.

Something old ... the original CAC J-9 depicted as an operational what-if PLAAF fighter.

In fact I've never seen this artwork before.
