Thought I'd make a thread for pics/discussion since this is chinese aviation dev area. I'll start it off.


Some hot J-16 images along with WS-10 closeups.




Pre paint J-16.

And last but not least for now, a J-15D in testing.

Found this on a media from Taiwan.

They called about a new PLAAF unmanned AWACS at about 5:30.

Wouldn't be surprised if something like that was being built, sadly picture was recon drone. But I think they don't actually need one, J-20s have visited already according to some interviews, I guess we know why there have been reports of un-escorted Y-20s near ADIZ.

Not a recon drone. That is the Unmanned AWACS system WZ-9.
