Here's some information on it, though it's from last month: China’s Mysterious Y-9GX-18 Gunship Could Become Beijing’s AC-130—105mm Cannon Rumours Trigger Indo-Pacific Alarm

This is a photo of the MiG-15 that my father flew in 1958. He was a fighter pilot in the Soviet Air Force.

He earned the rank of Senior Lieutenant a few years after graduating from flight school, with about 200 combat flight hours under his belt.

I've already shared a photo of my parents from the same year. Someone asked what he flew, so here it is — the actual aircraft.

Took these in December 2025 on a trip I took to Moscow. Took these on a Sony Cybershot DSC H50.

502 was a demonstrator for what will become China's MKK, in 2003 it was rebuilt into the prototype MK2 but kept the original markings

All taken from UAC's telegram

Sorry for all the felon posting but I really like her design lol

Sadly I couldn't find better resolution
