One of the best photos of the Heinkel He 111A-0s operated by the Chinese Nationalist Government in the 1930's. The Chinese had 8 of these machines, designated as He 111Ks. This is the last one they had, modified with (possibly) Wright Cyclone radial engines, although it's possible they were Pratt & Whitney Wasps. Location and date unknown.

Kína nagy méretű, valószínűleg 3 hajtóműves hatodik generációs "lopakodó" vadászgépet villantott.

A Warzone újságírója egyelőre még az állát kapargatja a padlóról a látottak hatására; ez egy elég 'nagy deal', még akkor is, ha azt sem tudjuk a gépről, prototípusa valaminek vagy 'csak' technológiai demonstrátor.

Does this mean some Raptor driver gets to stencil a balloon on the side of his plane now?

J-15 "Flying Shark" [飞鲨]

Shenyang Aircraft Corporation wanted to get the PLAN a carrier fighter, and with the fall of the Soviet Union there were very few people willing to sell one. Enter Ukraine, with the prototype Su-33 (Aircraft T-10K-3) still in the country for the unfinished Ulyanovsk Carrier- SAC had a chance. In 2001 they negotiated and managed to secure a deal for it. By 2009, the first J-15 was ready to fly. It used more composites and native home sourced parts than its Soviet (later Russian) ancestor, the Su-33. The AL-31s weren't as powerful as the Chinese had wanted and so they were looking and developing new ones- but for now it was good enough. 2012 marked the first landing quals- and in 2013 full mass production began. Now in 2024 there's likely 60-80 aircraft and several variants. J-15: Single-seat variant J-15S: Two-seat variant J-15T: Designed for CATOBAR (non-sloped deck) rated J-15D: J-15S with EW pods and dedicated EW role J-15B: Improved weapons, sensors and new avionics With a range (combat loaded) of 1270 km, the options for aerial refueling and a pretty heavy weapons load of both A2A and A2G weapons, it is a potent addition to China's Carrier Doctrine and another system which forms both an offensive and defensive bubble.

Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence (MND) reported detecting 12 Chinese military aircraft and five naval vessels near its territory between Thursday and Friday morning. Of these, five aircraft crossed the Taiwan Strait median line into Taiwan's southwestern air defense identification zone (ADIZ).

The MND confirmed monitoring and appropriate responses via a post on X, highlighting increased Chinese military activity, following a similar report of 10 aircraft and five vessels the previous day.

427 Nanchang CJ 6A (1958-on) CT 180 by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Nanchang CJ 6A (1958-on) Engine Huosai HS-6 Country of Origin China Serial Number G-BXZT Alternative Number CT 180 Production 3000 + Markings Sri Lanka Air Force AIRCRAFT ALBUM www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/albums/72157626970256152 The Nanchung CJ6 was designed as a basic trainer, its predecessor, the Nanchang CJ-5, was a licence-built version of the Yak-18., but the CJ-6 is an all-original Chinese design that is commonly mistaken for a Yak-18A. The aircraft was designed in 1958 by the Nanchang Aircraft Factory by a design team of around 20 designers. The design they delivered featured an aluminium semi-monocoque fuselage, flush-riveted throughout, and introduced a modified Clark airfoil wing design with pronounced dihedral in the outer sections. The dihedral and an angular vertical tail distinguish it externally from the otherwise vaguely similar Yak-18A. Power for the prototype was provided by a Czech-built horizontally-opposed piston engine, but flight testing revealed the need for more power, so a locally manufactured version of the Soviet AI-14P 260 hp radial, the Huosai HS-6 was substitutes along with a matching propeller In 1965 the HS-6 engine was upgraded to 285 hp and redesignated the HS-6A, and the aircraft equipped with the new power plant were designated the CJ-6A. A total production run estimated at more than 3,000 aircraft supplied CJ-6 aircraft for PLAAF training, as well as for export (as the PT-6) to countries including Albania, Bangladesh, Cambodia, North Korea, Tanzania, and Sri Lanka.
