ex Chinese AF. 711 White and the Russian markings are false markings. This aircraft was still at the Champlin Fighter Museum when it shutdown and then it went to the CAF [Arizona] Museum at Mesa. Another image on ABPIC is the same aircraft on ABPic with what is probably the correct Chinese serial quoted 83177 by now wearing false marks 4048. The ex Chinese identity mentioned in the text of 83177 '4115' is actually the c/n of this airframe that was found by CAF Museum workers when there were restoring this airframe [which now is painted in yet another false identity '2249' North Korean marks.
