Chinese Trainer Aircraft (JL-8, JL-9, JL-10 (L-15), etc.)

Recently GAC released photos that show JL-9 conducting weapon (PL-8) test at Air Force Weapon Test Center in North China.

The assembly of 2016's last naval JL-9 is completed.

According to GAC, Air Force signed the follow-up order of JL-9 on 22.12.2016. The last batch of JL-9s of this year is in final trial flight before hand-over.
