Beautiful bird.J11B right?

 

[CardSharp]

That is really pretty. I like the darker grey over the light grey of the J-7s

 

[Brotherhood]

I am not sure its J-11B, but pretty sure thats WS-10 domestic engines on those planes.

 

[whocares]

3rd gen plane?

China's 3rd gen=4th gen western standard.

Dark grey is ftw, now if only the RAF stoped painting their Sukhois that ugly smurf color, but atleast Migs are grey

I am not sure its J-11B, but pretty sure thats WS-10 domestic engines on those planes.

Tooks like the AL-31.

Nah, those are J-11A's, with AL-31's operating in Tibet I believe.
