J-11 "BS"

I think Chinese should name their jets appropriately.

I believe that airfield is in Tibet. Looks like they finally decide to get rid of those old J-6 and J-7.

On sinodefence forum they said these planes are Su27UBKs. China is unlikely to deploy the newest plane to Tibet.
These are more like token deployments.

Again from sinodefence someone suggested it's for recruits to train flying the plane relying only on flight instruments, simulating zero visibility.

Seems like a reasonable explanation.

These aren't 11Bs. Those are Su-27UBKs.

Sounds really dangerous.

Sounds really dangerous.

They will be required to, if such conditions arise, so they have to train for it.
