Besides leaving some as trainer aircraft, they should convert these to drones.

I think target drone will be the fate of J-7s. J-7 trainers are too ancient for tracing fifth or even fourth gen pilots.

Pure BS report!

Sorry to say so, but either she was bored again or I don't know what again she smoked! :smokin:

May I ask how these contradictions fit together?

- again based on her "unknown source close to..." :hitwall:

- we know since mid-2019 that no J-20 has been built with AL-31FN but are usung WS-10C since then.
- why a TVC-AL-31FN if the WS-10B-3 was demonstrated in Zhuhai 2018 already?
- already in 2018 she noted the J-20 is using the WS-10B (which was wrong then: https://scmp.com/news/china/militar...-stealth-fighters-missile-carrying-capability)
- and even earlier she mentioned the J-20 would already use serial WS-15s. :crazy:
