Seriously, back when the Area 88 manga in Japanese first came out, I didn’t follow or read it; but I watched its OVAs. Because of Mickey’s F-14, I thought its background is based in or on Imperial Iran.
A few years ago, after I watched the Area 88 TVA, and got its mook, I was a bit surprised it’s actually a fictional kingdom located on the Sinai Peninsula between Egypt and Israel.
OTOH, when I watched the OVAs, I thought the three Escape Killers’ fighters are MiG-21s or Su-22s. They are actually EE Lightnings.

Anyway. WRT the manga ending, after the final conflict, ISTR only two Area 88 pilots survived. Shin and [censored] who flew the [censored].

PLAAF, Guang Zhou AF recently mobilised 10+ tankers for night simulated aerial refuelling training.
The engine nacelle behind the pilot shouldn’t be hard to vis-ident. Snore.

“F-6 [Chicom MiG-19 clone] Aircraft: F-6 had good power weight ratio of 86%, giving it a lot of kick and maneuverability even at high altitude. But it was not a perfect aircraft. A serious problem faced in these aircraft was turbine buckets melting away or detaching and piercing through the other engine or pipes causing it afire. This was due to poor Russian metallurgy. Engines required change of the turbine buckets after every 100 hours. This was in contrast to an F104 engine requiring Inspection and Replacement if required (IRAN) after 1200 hours.”

(That might explain some F-6/J-6/MiG-19 losses.)

My 2nd impression as a civilian:
Maybe this is a scene for a movie or TV series?
The cross-sections doesn’t look like an engine, at first glance.

Chicom movies and TV series frequently base on WWII and modern PLA.
For example, some years ago, there was a TV series about a division of amphibious AFVs, and another about a squadron of Su-27s, nicknamed Lan Sha (Blue Shark).

(Yes, a decade ago, I watched that alien autopsy video on Fox TV.)

My 1st impression as a civilian:
Cloudy weather.
No ditch in ground behind tail fin; maybe it slid sideways?
No fire, and not burnt.
The chunk with the canards seems up-side up; not inverted.
