The PLA conducted naval strike and air combat exercises in the Southern Theater with the participation of recently improved fighters operating from an unnamed island airfield.

The peculiarity of these maneuvers was the situation characteristic of the islands: the rapidly changing weather, the dangers posed by birds, and the lack of control landmarks during the flight over the sea

- explained the major from the aviation brigade.

As indicated in the publication Global Times, 4 fighters, taking off from the island airfield, formed two groups and secretly moved to the designated area, moving over the water surface. When approaching naval targets, they abruptly slowed down, gained altitude and struck, after which they entered into an air training battle.

It is noted that the footage from the maneuvers shows two types of J-11B fighter of different modifications: one in the old configuration with a black nose, and the other in the new one with a gray nose.

The latter will have an AFAR radar, which implies an improvement in the detection and attack capabilities of the Chinese fighter created by upgrading the Su-27. The new radar will be compatible with PL-10 (short-range) and PL-15 (long-range) air-to-air missiles

- says the publication Zona Militar.

Initially, the J-11 fighter was assembled from Russian components for the Su-27. In 2006, its own modernization of the aircraft was presented, which received the designation J-11B. The J-11BG variant, which should be equipped with an AFAR radar, is a further evolution of the machine.
