Haha lol. Thanks for the correction, I just skimmed the article
PLA Air Force news, pics and videos
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
According to the "71" shown the parade that is not called a parade will be held on 1st July:
If there is no ground component, I think it's perfectly fine to be not called a parade.
Assuming it is only aircraft involved, the correct term would be "flyover," which is perfectly reasonable.
A parade would be army men, artillery, missiles, marching on ground, wth flyover in the skies.
Of course. A J-16 was spotted during a similar maneuver back in 2020 in the same area. Weather was cloudy in that video though.
Thanks, yes confirmed to be true.
Happening in Sogetsu Bay, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province
Very cool
1) Unless China is picking a fight with Malaysia then no fighter escort is necessary like in the case with Japan/Taiwan.
2) You need multiple mid-air refueling to support flights this far. Quantity of refuelers is one of the weaknesses with PLAAF.
