PAF - PLAAF Exercise Shaheen VIII 2019 l 23rd August- China

[Windjammer]

I am sure notes will be exchanged as to what happened to the SU30 of Indian air force on 27th Feb. I will be surprised if Chinese are not interested.

Big Time.

Big Time.

Considering they face F16s across Taiwan straits armed with AAMRAMs. Just yesterday news:

China "will not sit idly by" if the U.S. proceeds with a sale of advanced F-16V fighter jets to Taiwan, a Chinese general said

 

[Talon]

As i said, the exercise is imminent after abrogation of Article 370, hence it's kicking off today in China.

Chinese may want to learn about the operation swift retort conducted on India. Since they operate the Indian equivalent of SU30MKI and their adversary Taiwan got F16s, I will be surprised if they are not interested into what transpired on 27th Feb.

I think chinese would have known exactly what happened within hours.

 

[Ultima Thule]

Are Pakistani F16s participating?

Are you kidding me,there is no chance that USA allow us to send f-16 in China for exercise, hell NO @Syed Hammad Ahmed

Chinese knew all about it the 2nd day. They were in rawalpindi.

Do you mean two+one full squadrons or elements from 2 mirage squadrons + elements from 1 PG squadrons.

Can we relieve that many aircrafts considering current scenario.

 

[aziqbal]

If Block 3 was there China should send Su-35

 

[TOPGUN]

Oh Ok.

The last 12 months have been exercise heavy.

1 exercise with USAF, one exercise with Indian airforce with IAF as OPFOR, 2 exercises with Turkish AF and others and now one with Chinese.

Plenty of learning year round.

2016 had the most number of exercises if I am not wrong but yes nothing beats our exercise with IAF this year.
P.s : 12 months period includes previous Shaheen exercise as well.

I am more interested in the performence of J-16 in the exercise.
