Zhuhai Airshow 2024

[Deino]

There has been a lot of news about the Zhuhai Airshow on Chinese social media (Weibo, Douyin) lately, mostly pictures and videos of netizens taking pictures of equipment coming in, as well as some photos of construction sites in the interior exhibition areas.
There is not much official news from official organizations for the time being.

The J-15 is a regular visitor to the Zhuhai Airshow, and it will definitely appear at this airshow, but it's not known what type of J-15 will come.

Great, however so far no J-15 ever appeared on any Zhuhai airshow! At least per my understanding it is a novelty!

Oh, my mistake.
The J-15 is an older model fighter and I thought it would have been at the Zhuhai Airshow a long time ago. I went to check after your reminder and it really hasn't been to the Zhuhai Airshow.

第十五届中国航展飞行组织指挥领导小组第一次会议已于8月19日在珠海召开。会议上，珠海航展集团有限公司的董事长兼总经理孙洁峰详细介绍了本届航展的飞行表演亮点，其中包括俄罗斯“勇士”飞行表演队的6架苏-35S战斗机和1架苏-30SM战斗机将首次在中国表演，中国空军的“八一”和“红鹰”飞行表演队将再次展现技艺，而中国陆军、海军以及中国商飞、美国波音、法国空客等也将展出现役飞机和其明星机型。

孙董事长明确表示，中国海军将派出现役飞机参加珠海航展，甚至可能进行飞行表演。我们可以猜测，海军可能会派出歼-15、教练-9和教练-10这三种飞机，空警-200和空潜-200也可能参加静态展示。然而，空警-600舰载预警机和歼-35隐身战斗机可能不会亮相本次航展，或者如果展出，可能只以模型形式出现，因为这两种飞机目前还处于保密阶段，属于“过于先进、无法展示”的类型。

Zhuhai is on the coast. Any chance the PLAN will be there with ships on offer for export as well. I know it’s a long shot, but maybe Zhuhai will add that in future years.

But realistically, hopefully they will show an improved HQ-16F design, something more maneuverable like the Aster family of missiles. Next, hopefully a fully developed WS-19 (110 kn). A next generation UCAV after the FH-97A from last time. A new stealthy cruise missile that can fit on the JF-17, after the AKF-98 Shown last time, something to match the NSM.

Finally, systems developed as a result of studying the wars in Ukraine and Palestine.

Naval vessels are usually displayed as models.
The FH-97A's sibling, the FH-95, has been confirmed for the Cluster Combat Show, which I've announced in #48.
According to current information, the highlight of this year's Zhuhai Airshow is the unmanned combat system, and there will be a lot of unmanned combat equipment.

Many people have passed this year's professional day air show review. I finally bought tickets for the Air Show on Public Day

Weibo has rumors that political vetting is required to purchase Pro Day tickets. Individuals who purchased Pro Day tickets but did not pass the political vetting have had their tickets automatically refunded.

One well-known military blogger was unable to pass the political vetting because he was Taiwanese and had served in the Taiwanese military, and his Pro Day ticket was automatically refunded.

Go and check out Xiaohongshu. Many people have passed the professional day review and obtained their admission tickets, including even college students studying science and engineering

You can try to use Weibo to learn about China's military, there are many accounts of official Chinese organizations there and their information is more accurate and reliable.
Weibo has an international version.

Okay, I will take some ground plane photos. There is nothing more exciting than the development of technology. But I'm not a professional photographer, so the fighter jets in the sky can only be seen with my eyes

I know a lot of people got pro-audience tickets.

I don't need them. If I could go to Zhuhai, I could use my exhibitor status to go to the airshow and not need a ticket. LOL

You must remember to post a little more pics in this thread.
