PLAAF General Discussion

I can’t at the moment but by looking at the current performance of all Fox 3 missiles including the R-77 and PL-12 it seems a lot better than before. The R-77 isn’t as dog as before and the PL-12 is pretty standard.

Yeah i’ve seen some of it, PL-12 at range retains a lot more energy now.

At least we have the j-9 irl in spirit since the designs of it were carried over and modified to become the much more advanced j-10. As for the qiang-6 not sure, china and NK have swing wing mig 23s theyve tested/operated so its not that they would be missing a plane class if they were not added due to realism .

Yeah overall i agree, i’m not sure which mig 23 version China tested though.

Another gorgeous pic:

at least MS, BN and UB. All of them are from Egypt

Its why i think the best mig 23 type for china would be the north korean ML that is still surprisingly used by them, the ones china obtained weren’t that great

Here are photos of their historical fleet that I really like

J-8DF. Is it still in service of PLAAF?

yes,The J8DF/HF currently in service is mainly responsible for reconnaissance tasks or used to retain personnel

So did it receive any Recon/Targeting pod?

I think you can visit the Zhuhai Airshow from November 12th to November 17th this year through the 72/144 hour visa free policy

I would love to but I’ll probably be dealing with my Chinese language exams in uni :P
Zhuhai this year can give us plenty of cool stuff to look at and maybe some surprises.
