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

Yea that what i was wonder. Its what i found in a comparation of both jets. So no sure if true cockpit.

Edit; i know that china has past law to remove English words from certain media.

someone has posted how the J-15 suppose to look. J-16 should look about the same.
EnglishTeaKett1e, post:1918,

The cockpit on the left you posted is from a Hawk mk127.

And as you can see in my images it looks nothing like the J-15 or J-11 and has a completely different layout

@k_stepanovich

In the game the K/JDC03A targeting pod gets a resolution of 800x600.

This seems too low, given that this is China’s most advanced and most recent targeting pod.

Kh-38MT missile gets a resolution of 1200x800 in the game.

Missile seekers have much less room for equipment, they are usually much cheaper (and less capable) as they are expendable, and China is ahead of Russia in terms of electronics and imaging sensor fabrication.

So how does China’s latest and most advanced targeting pod have a lower resolution than the Kh-38MT missile seeker? This does not make any sense …

Why does j-11b have a 360 degree maws? Shouldn’t it be limited to rear hemisphere only?

Because the MAWS copy-paste from J-11A is used for the config. The same can be seen on the Su-25SM3 and Ka-52. The Su-25SM3 has sensors directed downwards, but it also partially sees the upper hemisphere.

I mean… MAWS it is like radar. It have different config file, which attached to vehicle.

Found a picture of the J-11D, while making a Suggestion for it, which indicates it could’ve received two addtional underwing pylons just like other late Flanker variants; i.e. up to 8x PL-12 / PL-15 could be possible.

Summary

Another pylon is clearly visible behind the rocket pods.

What engines did it have

Visually hard to tell, good pictures of it are rare. But some online sources claim it has been using WS-10B.

looks like WS-10’s short nozzle

raked vertical tail dude

I don’t even need to repeat the post about ASFM from another user. If you think the AIM-260 is meant to counter the R-37M, then what Russian weapon is the AIM-174B designed to counter? So it should be AIM-260 → PL-15, AIM-174B → R-37M/PL-17.

Erm, maybe find the difference with Su27UBK as well? Or similarly J11BS. The exact difference for Su27 and Su30 is the top.

the aim260 and aim174 are both designed to counter the eastern long rage missiles

the difference is that one of them is a Navy project and the other one is from the Airforce

Isn’t aim 260 more of a aim 120 replacement

AIM174 was the counter or rather temporary counter. No one wants a F18 carrying SA missiles all the time. AIM260 is the real replacement, but all we’ve seen so far is 1 PPT.

AIM-120D-3 counters Eastern missiles, AIM-260 and AIM-174 have entirely different purposes and are designed as counters to foreign peer equipment, not as responses to foreign missile developments.

The 120d-3 isn’t as long range as a pl17 or r37m
