An alleged mixed Air Brigade within the National Transitional Council (NTC) operated J-11B/BG and J-16 fighter aircraft together, as shown in imagery from Pulandian near Dalian, China. The activity was reported on February 3, 2026, between 6:15 AM and 9:15 AM UTC, according to military analyst Rupprecht Deino citing CCTV-7. The formation is most likely from the 89th Air Brigade (unit 93069) based at Pulandian in Dalian, Deino stated in a post on X, referencing an image via @中国军号 and CCTV-7. He questioned whether it constitutes a true 'mixed' brigade. No official confirmation from NTC or Chinese authorities was reported during the three-hour window. The imagery depicts both aircraft types operating jointly, per the cited sources.
