But isn't this more a target drone?

Looks very simplistic for a recon drone.
Could II-70G be its designation?

Are you kidding?

not possible. Every possible space will be reserved for J-15. Sharp sword is no match to J-15. Maximize 001A capability is the highest priority.

I don't know what's here sources and even if she always refers to "sources close to xxxx" she reported so often on things that are simply wrong. By here the J-15 is operational since years with WS-10H even if we know that this type of engine was only used testwise on a few prototypes at best and also the J-20 uses WS-15 from day one.

And for that drone now it's the same. We know is since years as a pure PLAAF program, nothing so far hint that it will enter service onborad the carriers - at least not yet ... so IMO simply forget what she writes.

10 Bomber Division still exist? I think not.
I think the WZ-8 is part of the 30th Bomber Brigade in Jiangsu. WZ-8 is within a H-6 unit.

Who said, the 10th Bomber Division is no longer active??

It operated two regiments ... one flying H-6K and the other one with H-6M (the same unit for the WZ-8)

You mean the 29th and the 30th.
I remember someone said there is also 28th Regiment in Anqing AB in Anhui. But there are Y-8T there so i guess it's not true.
