Why are they still performing low altitude dumb bomb drops and rocket attacks with this kind of expensive asset? At this altitude, even MANPADS are a major threat.

I am worried about PLAAF's institutional ability to learn from Ukraine.

so you are saying they should train with million dollar air to ground missiles?

you got to let the pilots blow stuff up to build confidence.

Exactly. I'm pretty sure they practice with smart munition but it is not likely to be a daily routine for any air force not just China's.

Those in-flight training hours could be better spend doing BCM.

Performing rocket attacks with high value platform is the air force equivalent of shattering stones on your chest. Sure it looks flashy but quite useless.
 
PLAN NA J-11BH and J-11BSH fighters spotting the new low visibility markings and numbers.

Unfortunately they came out only after my PLA Flanker book and the profiles were done.

My understanding is that PGMs are used in training but the PLA restricts their coverage so they just release dumbfire rocket videos and photos for public viewing.
