Pakistan-China Joint Air Force Exercise "Shaheen-IX 2020"

Few days ago, I posted a video , which claims that the deal for J 10 are done , they would be arriving in Pakistan in near future.

I was asked not to post such videos. But now some members are suggesting that the deal is done for J 10, let's hope so.
Please do not post immature videos; with youtube, any idiot is aggregating and multiplying false and irrelevant threads;

I hope no one has missed the HQ-9 (or a S-300??) here, the TEL at the front surely isnt a HQ-16! :)

The signature 4 tubed carrier (as shown below) is either a new aquisition or just a bait structure to simulate an adversary asset (See @ 1:10).

The TEL though seems to be a Russian one as shown below.

Ah yeah, thanks for picking on that one, I noticed the 91N6E Big Bird as well and was wondering how it went unnoticed. Long live the editors, they just gave me a sec. of ecstasy! o_O

Chinese jets can act as aggressor squadron. J-10C can simulate Rafale while J-11B can simulate Su-30MKI. PAF should consider making this exercise a bi-annual event and rotate different units.

As for J-11 in PAF, I don't see it happening. However, I do see the possibility of an electronic warfare variant of J-16 for PAF in the future, like the EA-18G Growler.
