PLAAF tactics...


 

From an online article:
"J-16 senior pilot Li Chao mentioned in the same SCMP report that PLA-AF pilots used several tactics to stop the intrusions, such as switching off onboard electronics to evade detection and making a full axial rotation to get behind the intruding aircraft." 

Well, there you go." full axial rotations" are clearly the way to go. 😎

I don’t think it addresses full axial rotations (though they certainly sound like a cool innovation that we ought to look into and not at all like something you’d read about in an accident report), and it isn’t about tactics, but this reminds me that I’ve been meaning to send out a link to a massive tome on the history of the PLAAF from the USAF’s China Aerospace Studies Institute that one of my colleagues recently co-authored in case anyone here is interested in the subject. You can download it from Air Univ. Press: 70 Years of the PLA Air Force.

What you order: Stern Conversion.
What arrives from Wish: Full Axial Rotation.

I believe making a full axial rotation in a tactical setting is already covered by the advanced rule on p. 22 of the original BoP rulebook.
