According to Shen Jinke, spokesman of the Air Force of the CPLA, the Aviadarts contest was delayed because of the heavy rain in Changchun, Siping and Shuangliao. For safety reasons the range for the contest will open on Aug 4.

He added that in addition to the J-10B, other star fighters including the Su-35, H-6K, and Tu-22 will also appear in the competition.
