I have a follow-up question. Do the PLANAF aircraft transferred to PLAAF retain their prior paint schemes and markings? In other words, do they still have the colours of their PLANAF service?
Or have they been repainted and renumbered to reflect their new commands?

That's a question I still wasn't able to fully answer ... IMO most fighters are just transferred as they are and only slowly a few were repainted like this JH-7A, albeit still with the same serial number:
Otherwise I haven't seen any renumbered type so far.
Okay thank you so much, your insights are as always very gratefully appreciated!
Yes it is confusing and even more so we have no true concrete evidence for certain units and their current status. For example, J-11BH fighters are still flown within the NAU for training and - even if IISS claims otherwise - the 8th NAB within the STC is also still operational.
