flankers in PLA,
76 Su-30mkk
24 Su-30mkk2
38 Su-27sk
40 Su-27ubk
They built 105 J-11 of different indigenous content.
and about 100+ J-11Bs (so, I think they’ve used up their 200 licenses) -> 3 batches of J-11B (first one with AL-31F and next two with WS-10A) + 1 batch of J-11BS using WS-10A. Each batch is around 24 to 30.
I’m not sure how many have been lost to accidents so far.
Of the 40 Su-27ubk, the last 28 were received in the third update received the upgrade to be able to fire R-77s.
Of the 38 Su-27sk and 105 J-11, I read a while ago that at least 70 received the SKM upgrade. We’ve even seen PL-12 on J-11s, so I’m not sure what kind of upgrades were done on the latter J-11s exactly. I’d think most of the su-27 and J-11 that have meaningful service life left would’ve received some kind of upgrade.
Thank you very much! 😉
