Thems some sexy planes.
The one with the hat looking thing is a Shaanxi Y-9 and the fighter jet is a Sukhoi SU-30 idk about the other 2
The bomber is the Xian H-6, a Tupolev Tu-16 built under license
Thanks Stalin
I will pretend I know what those words mean and oogle at communist aircraft designs.
The ‘hat thing’ is an AWACS (or AEW&C) pod - basically mobile radar that lets you detect incoming threats like planes, missiles, etc. and such planes also direct the fighters present acting as a command platform in the area of combat.
The fighter, the Su-30 (actually depending on if it’s PLAAF or PLANAF it’ll be either the Su-30MKK or Su-30MK2 respectively) is a supermanoeuvrable, all weather, strike fighter (roughly equivalent to an F-15E in USAF terms) but the versions China uses (built by Russia still) have a bunch of fancy upgrades taken from Russia’s own Su-35 project. All of these Sukhoi fighters are derived from the Soviet-era Su-27 “Flanker”, one of the sexiest fighter planes ever built (factual statement, not opinion) and Flanker variants are pretty much most of the Russian inventory at this point, and were quite a lot of the Ukraine’s inventory too until they got blown up. While these ones aren’t strictly communist engineering, the original design was, so it’s still okay to simp.
Here’s a video compilation
