That action looks more like kamikaze tactics than anything else.

In seeing their exercises, I have not seen dog fights but I have seen bombing runs. It would seem that the PLAAF pilots can hit their targets.

Can u tell more about the gen training practices of all plaaf pilots. Is anything known about their doctrines.

Rusting. The late models are better but all the J-6 and all the early J-7 were hand built. I believe the Iranians complained that one plane to the other can vary as much in length as 10 centimetres. This has strongly implications in that there are very few parts you can canalibalize from one plane to the next.
Also, the GPCR did alot of damage. Training conisted of taking off, circle the airfield and landing.
