Videos have surfaced on social media, purportedly showing the burning wreckage of a PLAAF Su-35 in Sanjia Village.
The accident scene is about 6 km NW of Guilin Qifengling (Li Chia Tsun) Air Base.
The Air Base is the home of the 5th AF Division which is equipped by Chengdu J-10 fighter jets. Likely a J-10 was involved instead of the Su-35 as claimed in social media.
A month later, Chinese authorities confirmed the accident through publicizing a story about how the pilot handled the emergency in a commendable manner. It was reported that the accident aircraft was a J-10C, whose engine quitted shortly after takeoff due to bird strike.
