J-16 is PLAAF's bomb truck.I believe J15/J16s flankers are exclusive for naval role. Shaheen IX exercise is more focused on aerial warfare on land.
None of the footage is from the present.

Everything is taken from stock & you'll notice that a great deal of the PLAAF is taken from CCTV7.
hehehehe i wanted to tag you after watching the video and ask, is it new footage or old? and here is your answer.None of the footage is from the present.
Remarkable piece of machinery.J-10C in China

then you consider Americans incompetent in monitoring and Pakistanis reckless and lairs by violating the F-16s agreement and getting a ban from any upgrades, repairs and maintenance of their F-16sI 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.
Both J-11BS and Su-30 (not pictured) participated. The one shown is J-11BS. MKI is more advanced than the MKK and MK2.
what?
It's an interesting combination of a Russian SU-30 and Chinese build copy J-11 and then the most advanced J-10 version.
And how more advanced is the MKI and the MKK and MK2 compared with the J-11BS and J-10C?
Could you list them down from advanced to "not advanced", I think you have more information and background, of this than me, It would take me days, to get all that, just started yesterday with researching the Chinese airbases from where this PLAAF fighters where located, did take me a lot of time, to get the conclusion. Thank you in advance
Best regards
By the way:
I have subscribed Quwas defence Article, @Quwa I would enjoy reading your analysis of this exercise!
Its interesting that nobody is researching and interest in the background, history and Orbat of the Chinese send Jet fighters, to get a picture and sense of this exercise, it's important to understand the Chinese Jet Fighters role, history and technical data, location of their base and tactical and strategical squadron role, all this in reflection with the Indian air force counterpart.
He is regarded as a osmanic peot in PDF.
Ironically, one can still make out the low viz markings in your above image but not in any of the images from todays arrivals......I also understand there are twin seaters in the package.
Damn didn't recognise AVM Waqas Sulehri for a minute, he was once OC of a PAF Viper unit and i would often chat with him when he was posted in Washington.
That might just be low image quality.
I just got "confirmation" from a friend, that I am correct. There are indeed PLAAF markings on them but he is not allowed to post the image (at least not yet)!
So the markings are so low that they became non existing
I think picture quality is the main culprit here. If we can zoom, flair dispenser is also not visible in PAF Clip which otherwise are there just below the low visible marking of PLAAF.
