Three. J8 series

Authoritative news media has been publicly reported equipment J8 troops

In recent years, the replacement of J8F, the original old type again transferred to sister units. The number of statistics should be noted.

Beijing Military Region Air Force Air Division 24 a regiment of the regiment originally equipped with the old blunt J8, now to life retired. The regiment's J8s have all been replaced by J10s.

Beijing Military Region Air Force Air Division 24 another regiment The regiment is equipped with the old blunt J8.

Shenyang Military Region Air Force Air Division 30 a regiment of the regiment is equipped with the old blunt J8, for the transfer of the second-hand machine from the brother unit. Be careful not to double-count when counting quantities. The regiment's J8 is close to retirement and will be replaced soon.

A regiment of the Air Force Training Center The regiment is equipped with part of the J8B, part of the blunt J8.

A regiment of the Air Force Air Division 9 of the Guangzhou Military Region The regiment is equipped with part of the J8B, part of the J8D.

We should be careful not to double-count the number when counting the number.

Shenyang Military Region Air Force, a regiment of JZ8, the regiment is equipped with part of the old JZ8, part of the JZ8F, the current change has not been completed.

Shenyang Military Region Air Force JIS regiment, the regiment is now equipped with only a brigade JZ8F, the rest are JZ6, the current change encountered great trouble.

This data is all from authoritative media. All mentioned J8 equipped troops number can be seen on the network source, I only do a summary.

The J8-equipped units of HNA are not discussed in this article.

While the number of J8s equipped by the Air Force is small, the number of J8s equipped by the Navy is even smaller, basically less than a quarter of the number of J8s equipped by the Air Force.

In short, a comparison of the number of equipment of the three can be seen:

From the total number

While the mass production and equipment of the J11 preceded that of the J10 by several years, the number of equipment of the J10 series has been significantly higher than that of the J11 series.

While the mass production and equipping of the J8 series began more than two decades before the J10, the total is not much higher than the number of J10 series now equipped. It is expected that within the next few years the J10 series will fully outnumber the J8 total, which has been in production for decades.

Looking at the number of new equipment produced since 2004

The J10 series has about twice as much equipment as the J11 series.

The J10 series has about three times more equipment than the J8 series.

Even counting from 2000, the number of newly equipped air force of the J8 series is only three whole regiments of a regiment of the 21st Air Division, a regiment of the 37th Air Division, a regiment of the 1st Air Division (note: all trainer planes of the J8 regiment are not of the J8 series, which need to be deducted from the number of statistics), and there are also the tails of a regiment of the 29th Air Division, a brigade of a regiment of the Shenyang Air Force JDU and a brigade of a regiment of the South Air Force JDU. The total number is still far less than the number of J10 equipment, which only started to equip the air force at the end of 2002.

All of the above discussion content, are from the authoritative media public reports and network information collection, as well as GOOGLEEARTH airport pictures. I only do the summary, without any original.

From recent public reports, it can be seen that the J8 models produced after the 1990s (non-H and F) will all be modernized and modified to the level of the J8H and F. This is also the first time that the Chinese Air Force has used up all of its resources. This is also a waste of time for the Chinese Air Force to make the best use of what they have, and to avoid aircraft with outdated performance but some life expectancy being put aside. After all, these J8 still have a certain life expectancy, if not modified, these aircraft combat capability will be very unsatisfactory. And if the performance is backward and directly retired, these airplanes will cause a lot of waste. After all, should still be thrifty and scientific life.

The J7 models produced after the mid-1990s will also be modernized to improve combat effectiveness.
