Hundreds of PLAAF SAM air defence reserve personnels were called up for training with the regulars this week. The reserves are ex-PLAAF personnels who have retired from the regular service.

This bird has still a role to play. It is quite a competent platform in multiple role mission environment. If Pak naval forces get this...their coastal defence is assured.

What's the current status of this fine bird? Have they enter the mass production?

Yes, operational plane.

 

[Deino]

Yes, operational plane.

@Beast
Can You proof it ?? All we know so far is that there are two prototypes ... and concerning this image it is so far "only" a yellow factory-fresh bird standing most likely at SAC's tarmac ... as such surely not an "operational" one.

Deino,

Firsly, well done. Keep up your good work.

I, however, have one question.

What is your primary analysis/information source? Is it the internet fora and then benchmarking/comparative analysis of the Chinese and western tech?

Or do you have inside sources? What about Chinese strategy/doctorine? Do you have access to it?
Just like to understand you better, that is it.

Regardless, I find that you are a balanced and ethical analyst! Great human being to top that as well.

Enjoy my resptect, teacher man!

The third prototype has already made its first flight

Thanks ... but so even with now three aircraft flying we are still a bit off to "already operational" and is this the third one ?!

Of course they are not operational
