I think it’s J-15 Trainer

J15 uses electronic equipment of J11B, so I think this picture can be used as a reference for J11B and J15 cockpit.

Do you know if the J-15 and J-16 will have access too targeting pods?

J16 can indeed, j15 I haven’t seen the picture of using aiming hoisting.

What is the name of the regiment of cool guys-or what kind of bird?..is there another photo?

Spoiler

It may look like “海空雄鹰”, belonging to an elite unit of PLANAF with a long history, but there are no more photos of this low-visibility logo.

Any detail about the model of radar that Su-30MK2 is using? From many sources, it is supposed to have a more advanced radar than the Su-30MKK (N001VE), but there are conflicting info on what is exactly the radar it is using.

Should be N001VEP

As a player from HK, china i am disgusted that these planes are not here yet. Im a big J-10, J-15 and sukhoi fan, yet the newest chinese jet in wt is the JH-7A. Gaijin, can you pls add the J-10 and SU-27 pls

This seems to be the most common opinion. There are some sources that say MK2 uses PESA version of N001 radar (“panda”?) though, so I was really confused

Well at least it was not a C&P plane in the Taiwanse line lol. That and the JH-7A did help to solve the CAS problem. Looking forward to seeing J-10 or J11 in the winter update.

The N001VEP radar is a Panda …
On the Venezuelan Su-30MK2B, a variant with a Slit (Planar) antenna is installed …
The J-16 is a clone of the Su-30MK2 with Chinese electronic equipment…so the plans and ways to modernize (if any) the Su-30MK2 in China are quite obvious…

Not exactly a clone, the airframe is a combination of Su-30 and J-11BS features with more use of composite materials to reduce weight. It also uses a more powerful Chinese engine.

Point is, the J-16 would still be better in most metrics. The AESA Radar in particular would be a big deal, and the fact that it was built to use Chinese missles

Does anyone know how good the RWR would be on the J-11? Would it be closer too western or Soviet RWR’s in prefromance?

Since the Pearl of Peace, China’s fighter research and development has gradually approached the western standards. j11a is basically equivalent to su27sk, and the radar has been upgraded and improved in the later stage, and r77 can be carried. There is really no more information about rwr of j11b, but it will certainly not be weaker than KJ8602A.
