Suixi received J-16. Will replace the Su-30MKK still operating in the base. Looks like they will not be getting J-20 in the foreseeable future. That said, based on PLAAF experience J-10 pilots transition easier to the J-20 than flanker pilots.
But even more interesting is to know, what will happen with the Su-35? Will they remain within the 6th AB or transferred to another unit or will Suixi's 6th Air Brigade become a mega-unit with both Su-35 and J-16s?
They will complement one another.
Hi Deino
Hi Deino
what do we mean by 61675 number if possible to answer please and 1006 too please
thank you
Hi Deino that’s a great help from you to explain all this in detailed for me with all the numbers aroundok ... both numbers have a different meaning. The first is the regular 5-digit PLAAF serial number which consists of the following code: ABxCx, so that 61675 means ABC = 61x7x and xx = 65.
Within that system, ABC minus 611 is the air brigade, that operates this particular aircraft and xx is the individual aircraft within that unit, so 617 - 611 = 6 means, this J-16 is from the 6th Air Brigade, which is based at Suixi and xx = 65 means, it is the 65 aircraft within this brigade, however there are sometimes not all numbers allocated.
The second number 1006 is the construction number of this particular J-16 and it has this system:
1006 is according to the BBxx system, a Batch 10 aircraft (BB = batch) and xx = the 6th J-16 within that batch.
Hope this helps.
