2025 Victory Day parade thread (workup, 3rd Sept)

The funny thing is those J-7s are still less old than the F-15Cs the US operates. The J-7 design is obsolete but the actual aircraft were built not that long ago. The last J-7 was built in 2013.

As J-35 production ramps up those J-7 will get retired.

I always find it hilarious how he pisses all over Russia all the time while being sponsored by War Thunder by Gaijin Entertainment.

AFAIK J-7s and J-8s have been retired as fighters. JJ-7 (which is technically a different aircraft) is only used as trainer, and there may be two brigades of the recon variant of J-8.

Not sure what he’s saying is relevant anymore since US media is going full on authoritarian under Mango Mussolini…

The guy talks like he's got COPD. If he didn't try to project his voice so loudly he probably wouldn't need to breathe in so deeply every time.

Both he and SCMP need to invest in better quality microphones if you get what I’m saying.

Not really, he just needs to not talk so loudly.
SCMP I wonder if it was an issue with zoom or if my headphones were just not very good.

Its interesting that PLA has advanced tailless unmanned fighter in service but still operate 100+ J-7 in several brigades.

PLAGF still operates type 59 relics while putting advanced 4th gen tank in service.

No country has the level of disparity in equipment generations.

The navy is the only force that doesn't operate ultra old relics. Everything is mostly brand new.

I mean.. if J7 can launch cruise missiles or long range missiles in the inner part of China, it wouldn't be in harms away. launch a few missiles then head back to the base to rearm itself. of course, the target is only ground objects.

J-7 can’t do either.

J-7 can’t do either.

It can probably launch JDAMs after PLA has achieved air supremacy. That's the only real combat scenario I can envision.

Otherwise its mainly there to give 3rd/4th line unit pilots flytime while they wait for more advanced planes to produce and trickle down to them.
