Pakistan-China Joint Air Force Exercise "Shaheen-IX 2020"

[siegecrossbow]

I still believe that PAF is secretly using F-16s against Chinese jets in the Shaheen exercises.

I doubt it. Lockheed personnel are probably on red alert whenever China is involved in combat training with Pakistan.

 

[kursed]

Indeed ... or still not spotted!?

No, it’s not here. There are two more planes here but not shown. EW and AEW&C.

J-16 is not there. What a pity!

If it is any consolation it already went last year. If the CAC wants to push j-10c for export it might be better to keep the other heavy hitter out of the limelight.

Lockheed wouldn't really be the problem. If Americans really could figure about our F-16s, then they should've had a proper answer for 27feb as well. Instead that had to rely on India showing Amraams.

markings may or may not be visible but would color of the aircraft change as well? maybe from a different squad, overall the reference picture on the left which was used to check color had blueish color while the picture captured via twitter feed had grayish color through out the aircraft

Color depends on the time of the day, as well as the camera and post processing. No need to grab at straws here. These are PLAAF jets, not future hand me downs for PAF.

Pakistani opsec around the exercise will be very high this time around for obvious reasons, so should not be surprised with the degraded quality of the videos. Just saying.

Unmarked J10s are interesting

My good man. Take a closer look at the engine & the colors...

The Unmarked greyish J-10 has basically been taken as a frame from a video. And judging by the quality, a very poor Camera - hence you end up comparing something that was possibly taken from a proper Nikon camera (left), compared to a frame (extracted from a video).

What was visible in the PR imagery... and interesting what was kept from it. (hint: see the bottom of the ramp)

@LKJ86

PLAAF's J-10C, J-11BS, and Y-20 can be seen in the videos.

Please share videos from your side,
whenever you get them.

 

[truthfollower]

and whats wrong with PAF youtube channel?
posting whatsapp forwarded 360p videos?

 

[Inception-06]

Yes, since those from the 131st Air Brigade have low visibility markings already:

In summary I see the following units involved from the PLAAF:

J-10C is from Dingxin, Su-30MKK are from Quzhou, and the J-11BS is from Gansu.

J-10C is from Dingxin, Su-30MKK are from Quzhou, and the J-11BS is from Gansu.

Thanks for reply, I see" Dingxin Test and Training Base truly sits at the heart of China's air combat capabilities "

so its SU-30 MKK and not a J-11, is the SU version equivalent to the Indian SU-30MKI one ?
