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

j15 flight tests on the aircraft carrier Liaoning on Vimeo

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.

Bugs fixed, thanks to my Chinese forum friends

what bug?

SU-27UBK with PL-12 missile

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

No,that’s PL-12

Source?

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.

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

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

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

I’ll add this to the J-16 suggestion.

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

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

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.
