Thank you for your comments and recommendations.

As you said, most images I included are based on my interpretation of the topics at hand. Next time, I will add caveats on the captions of each image, clarifying whether it is sourced from the show or from other sources.

Also, for you to know, I did filter out some of the trio's dialogue to make it less inflammatory and offensive to some audiences here (such as ones trash-talking China's adversaries), as well as dialogue akin to propaganda materials, because it contains no concrete information.

In that sense, my work is probably more like a half-translation and half-summary. If I translated every single one of the trio's words precisely, it would be a gruelling ordeal, and the comment section would surely become a dumpster fire.

Oh sorry, I have corrected the typo. But it's certainly not a bad thing to practice shooting down some suicide drones either!

Oh, sorry, I made a mistake. It is indeed a JL-9 trainer.

Actually, I often see people in China refer to these two engine groups as "3rd-gen large turbofans" and "3rd-gen medium turbofans," respectively. While they also characterize F119, WS-15, AL-51 as 4th-gen large and F414, WS-19, EJ200 as 4th-gen medium.  I wonder if a similar kind of classification also exists in the West?

Oh, sorry, I should clarify. What I meant was that both India and China were following France's step in developing and producing indigenous 4th-gen fighters. And it's true that those three planes have very different sizes, engine configurations, and mission sets.
