Re: What happens to older aircrafts that are being replaced in a modernization proces

Actually I am wondering, can these be converted to something like short or medium range missiles that can be use to strike at enemy's valuable assets?

Yes. PLAAF has actually formed 1 Attack Drone Brigade, headquartered at Longyan, with hundreds of old J-6’s. You can see them all but 4 Group of them if you look at Google Earth:

1 Group Longyan 25 40 34 N 116 44 47 E
2 Group Xingning 24 08 58 N 115 45 26 E
3 Group Wuyishan 27 42 09 N 117 60 00 E
4 Group Taihe 26 51 27 N 114 44 12 E
5 Group Longtian 25 34 24 N 119 27 38 E
