Shenyang J-11, J-16, J-15, History, Performance & Discussion

No!..The Kh-31A and Kh-31P missiles can also be used by the export Su-30MK/SU-30MKK…
1.Most export Su-30MK2 with radar RLPK-27VE…there is also information that some have a Slit (Planar) antenna array…
2.SUV System (Weapon Control System)-can be upgraded separately from the Radar…Respectively SUV-B(Air) and SUV-P (Surface)…
3. Modernization of the Radar to the level of RLPK-27 VEP (izdelie N001VEP)…allows the use of missiles (R-27P1/R-27EP1/Kh-59MK/Kh-35E)…
4.It is optional for export aircraft…A two-channel digital receiver can also be introduced (when modified, it allows you to simultaneously attack 2 targets)…
5. Also, during refinement, the detection range of an aerial target (EPR = 3m2) into the Front hemisphere in free space can be increased.up to 150 kilometers…

Well someone has told me the KH31s capabilities are the result of direct modification of the radar itself and an extra unit could be added or upgraded like SUV-P.
It is a Chinese tradition to upgrade something without any change of name or designation.
Gaiselin antenna was the original N001 antenna since the development of the planar array antenna was doing badly, some suggested they reverted back to the planar array antenna after its difficulties are solved. (the Gaiselin antenna is 1.5x of Mig29 one)
I read about a different designation for SU30MKK radar called N001P which was later perhaps upgraded.
If I am not wrong RLPK is the designation for the fire control system and is not just the radar, right?
Regarding upgrades, do you have anything on the PANDA radar which seem to be really interesting as it is a PERO PESA antenna added to N001. (PERO is both used for N001 and N019, and it is track 12 attack 4 capable)

RLPK (Radar Sighting System) it includes (Radar/SUV/Weapon Selector/Navigation system for some types of missiles/ILS (Indicator on the windshield) and several other systems…for example, an optional data bus for the integration of Western weapons)…

  1. The PERO is not a radar but an antenna system-there is no exact data where it was installed…

  1. The radar for the Su-30MKK in the sources of 2000 was designated as N001M. In the future, the name N001VE is used …
  2. I repeat once again-the SUV system can be upgraded

I know about the SUV upgrade thing, but I am now just trying to translate this…
Wait a moment before I read all of this.

No PL12 performance is stronger than R77

The J-11/J-16 are the best Flankers when it comes to looks in my opinion, their grey scheme suits it extremely well and especially on the J-16s.

The grey scheme looks sleek on them, one of my favorite variants.

Is that a dual rocket launcher pylon? Like 2 type-130 rocket launchers on the same pylon.
Also, just asking is there any way of separating the early J11s with Su27SK except for the serial numbers?

Yeah it is the dual launch pylon, we’ve seen it with J-10s with double PL-12s.

Also, what version of J11A is currently in game, because if it is the MAWS version, surely it would carry Chinese weapons or at least weapons with Chinese designations and not FABs and OFABs right?

It is hard to identify it. Having the MAWS doesn’t necessarily mean it has a different weapons. It is generally acknowledged that the first Sino flanker to have Chinese missiles is the J-11B.

Is there any sino-flankers with PL11?
Also regarding the J11A, I am more talking about the bombs, if we can find specifics about J11A with bombs and rather with bombs of either Chinese designation or Chinese bomb.

They use Russian Bombs, similarly to how Su-30 only fields russian bombs.

No idea about the PL-11, honestly i don’t even see why we should consider it since we are heading to a full PL-12 meta for us.

I guess only J-10As used it right?

I just want domestic stuff lmao

Yeah me too, but i really don’t have any info on the PL-11s

J-10s, J-8(?), JH-7A, potentially others.
