Does anyone have information on the J-11Bs usage of targeting pods throughout its service history? I do believe the KH-29TE could be equipped on them, but the usage of a targeting pod? I’m not quite so sure
any evidence of internal ECMs of J-15? I keep hearing people talk about it but I have not seen a single diagram of any kind of ECMs on the J-15.
also do you have images of J-15 with ECM wingtip pods?
There’s also the J-15D as a dedicated variant
I’m quite confident that J-15s in the first image are mockups on the Fujian during her final construction phase.
see the lack of the “flying shark” emblem on the tail
The J-15D is the navy equivalent of the J-16D for the PLANAF, it’s equipped with interal ECM equipment.
You can tell the J-15D by the J-15 by the lack of IRST present on the nose, and the obvious ECM equipment installed on the aircract.
Oh, some good news from patch-notes (if you did not researched J-11 yet):
Another good new is J-10A finally recieved PL-8B.
Now my beloved J-10 became even better.

Still placeholder radar modes on the J11B
Not as important but still no HUD tint either, even though the exterior model of the cockpit shows it clearly.
They are mockups but they show the ECM pods quite well
placeholder radar mode max range, ACM and HMD
How good is J-11B as a 13.7? And would it be worth it to go for it over the J-10?
It’s good at 13.7, better than J-10A at BVR because of its acceleration at high altitude and better radar. Though the radar modes at the moment are placeholder.

Thanks to other peoples support, I’ve identified that the Su-35 that China has is technically a Su-35S, however it’s just named Su-35 Flanker-M. I assume articles and whatnot just put the S to it as it can be easily mistaken due to the 35S also having the same designation. However the Chinese Su-35 Flanker-M and Su-35S do have some very small differences, mainly from what I’ve seen, the antenna for navigation is missing (which can be seen on the tail above the horizontal stab)
Tldr: The Chinese Su-35 is pretty much an S variant, but its just not called like that, yet keeps the Flanker-M designation. Why? Idk

And Su-35S is pretty much Su-35 as well Su-30SME is pretty much Su-30SM, what’s point? Just overall same planes, one of which uses same stuff but “export” with possible downgrades.
I just wanted to throw that out there, nothing more, nothing less.
Only 60km radar range because they somehow got the bright idea to ship this update with literally unfinished slop, but sure otherwise it stomps all over basically every other 13.7
