rlly?
Didn’t Smin said he was only gone for a week ?
Don’t get me wrong but 9 days is longer than a week
Actually J-11A can carry R-77 after MLU
Evidence?
Hopefully he’s not sick or anything like that.
Is this a J11A?
Been counting days until order gets restored?

@Miraz05 Actually i think it is a J-11A
But I dont think J-11As ever got R-77 capability so it might be a prototype to test the J-11B’s chinese radar
I saw someone mentioned that J-11A had a upgrade after being in service, to make it able to use ARH missiles, but I can’t find that. Considering many early J-11A is still in service, it’s possible.

China never used the R77 on the J-11s so yeah
In 1996 China and Russia agreed to let China build Su-27s in China as the J-11, under this agreement some airframes would continue to be delivered and Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) would assemble other kits delivered from Russia and fitted with Russian avionics, radar (N001E and 001V, although some 3rd batch UBKs were rumored to be using the improved N001VE) and engines (AL-31F), production began in 1997. In total 105 kits were delivered, and 95 aircraft were delivered. These aircraft were Su-27SK (J-11) and the twin-seat variant the Su-27UBK, capable of carrying unguided rockets and bombs as well as the R-27R1/T1 and R-73. The acquisition of these aircraft gave the PLAAF the ability to fight in true BVR for the first time.
Later J-11s were upgraded with two color MFDs replacing the old monochrome radar scope, a new FCS allowing the usage of R-27ER1 and 77 missiles and an improved version of the N001E, the N001VE as China was not satisfied with the N001s inability to perform guided Air-2-Ground missions (one of the reason the Purchased the Su-30MKK) which increased lock range by 5km, MTI (Moving Terrain Indication), better look down ability specifically against helicopters and a new Baguet series BCVM-486-6 processor giving the aircraft the ability to track and fire on two targets at once with R-27/77 missiles, the aircraft that received were designated J-11A and first flew in 1999. In all 105 J-11s were produced with all 11s being upgraded to 11A standard before production stopped in favor of the 11B, which China began producing without license. After this rupture of trust Russia cut off support to China with their J-11As but began delivering the Su-30MKKs China had ordered in the year 2000, these aircraft arrived with R-27ER/77/73 capability and the further updated N001VEP which is why bought N001VEs for its J-11A fleet before these MKKs arrived to increase fleet commonality. Six years after J-11A production ended and five years after MKK deliveries began China introduced the PL-12 into service, a missile comparable to the AIM-120C-5 and much better than the R-77Es Russia had exported to the PLAAF forJ-11/MKKs and subsequently the PLAAF began working on fitting them onto the J-11A/MKK.
