First Chinese plane that will be able to spawn on aircraft carriers. The f16 can land on them but you can’t spawn on them.

Shenyang J-15 (2013)

Initial Deal: The history of China’s first carrier borne fighter is directly connected to failing indigenous designs and the successful production and deployment of the J-11 and J-11A. In fact, not long after the acquisition of what eventually became the Liaoning, China sought to fill the hangars of this newly reconstructed aircraft carrier with Su-33s. Allegedly, by 2006 there were talks between China and Russia about a p…

Spoiler

Origins: The so-called “Divine Dragon” lays its origins, as with most Chinese flankers, in the ever changing relationship between China and Russia. China sought Russia’s help when it came to boasting a flanker with multirole capabilities, with the former offering the personalised Su-30MKK. After the purchase, a consequent acquisition of Su-30MK2s was expected from China, but the lo…

SU-27UBK with PL-12 missile

[141_allen]

I seriously could not tell but could it be PL11? Anyway it’s unclear and this seem to be a oneoff

[卡缇娅还想再躺九下]

No,that’s PL-12

[thethrill820]

Source?

[llSolitairell]

the central fins on the PL-11 are much larger than the tail fins, they look the same size in that photo so I’d say that’s a PL-12.

[141_allen]

Could just be a model of PL12 or a training round.

[ghuy99907]

J16 and JH7A can carry YL-5 (YJ1000) guided bomb.

[ghuy99907]

SU-30MKK and SU-30MK2 can use KH29TE, which has a longer range than KH-29T.

[MightyBaozi]

I’ll add this to the J-16 suggestion.

[七色的人偶使]

Errrr…The photo shows that J-11 has ability to carry more than 2*R27ETs, right?

[MiG_23M]

Gaijin is aware of the fact that they can use R-27ET in every station - it is a balancing decision to limit them to two per aircraft afaik. Any word on this before someone submits a report? @Gunjob

[Gunjob]

I’m not aware of it being a balancing decision, you’re free to report it.

How should missile placed between engines work? Nose obstructs FoV.
