TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A total of 11 Chinese air force planes breached Taiwan's air defense identification zone (ADIZ) Saturday (Feb. 20) and included another appearance of Xi'an JH-7 fighter-bombers.


Completely off topic ... I like the looks of Chinese PLA AC for what they are .... homage ... homage to western and Soviet experience and excellence. Soviets arms have a long history, in China .... volunteer Red Air force pilots went to China after 1936 to combat the Japanese. This is the "Older Big Brother" narrative that the 2 nations share
So traditionally China license-built Soviet AC ... until things opened-up ... nationalism ... pride in China, and the western touches 'Euro fighter' canards .... and so on down to their F-22 knock off.
It seems the Chinese 'buying public' like their war weapons to 'look' like the ours.
The 'arched back' stance ... they both share.
