The J-11BHG is a navalized derivative of China's land-based J-11B, adapted for operations with the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy Air Force (PLANAF) coastal and maritime strike units. Although not a true carrier aircraft, the J-11BHG operates from shore bases to provide long range air defense and escort for PLAN surface groups. It features upgraded avionics, improved corrosion protection for maritime environments, and compatibility with modern Chinese weapons such as the PL-12 and PL-15 air-to-air missiles. J-11BHG units regularly conduct patrols over the East and South China Seas, intercept foreign aircraft, and support naval exercises, strengthening China's regional air superiority. Designed by the Soviet Union to challenge the superiority of fourth generation US fighters such as the F-15 Eagle, the Su-27 was first flown on May 20, 1977. This one seat Mach-2 fighter had the Soviet Union's first operational fly-by-wire system. The aircraft is very large compared to the MiG-29, its closest Soviet counterpart, but it is built with a high percentage of titanium, which helps minimize its weight. It is exceptionally agile and is perhaps most famous for its "Cobra" maneuver, which is a short, sustained level flight at a 120 degree angle of attack, often performed at air shows. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
