One of the cheekiest things I've seen in a while from CCP censors.
Gonna post this, go pour myself a cup of coffee, then will be back in 10 minutes. See if you can spot what I see.

Ok, back.
Lately the Chinese military has been switching some aircraft nose numbers to a two digit format, like this example I noted yesterday. The Y-8Q above has no 2nd digit, which instantly raised suspicion. Could it be a new format of just one digit?

No, or at least, not this time!
The photographer chose a set up to catch the lens flare. Light should not bend, correct?
Well, it just so happens to bend conveniently where a 2nd digit would be!

As Columbo would say, "Oh, just one more thing."
The photographer, Qin Qiangjiang, took another photo set during daylight hours of this same Y-8Q ASW squadron. In it, they left out all digits on pics except one, a single 8.

Since this is noted as a PLANAF Southern Theater Command outfit in the photoset's description, the first digit SHOULD be an 8.
Turns out there was a pic taken of a Y-8Q using 86 as a nose number. Specifically, according to the site "Chinese Military Aviation", no. 82036.
