J-11BG is based on existing J-11B airframes, maybe after the refurbishment it could possibly have received WS-10B but I’m not sure. I don’t think WS-10A is in production anymore in China or at least in large numbers.
We know that the J-16 is using WS-10B, and since J-11D development was in a similar timeline I think it would be using WS-10B.
I just want the J-16, it is a true multirole and plus, it can cary more air-to-air missiles than any J-11 except the J-11D.
WS-10B should be slightly lighter than WS-10A (by approx 100ish kg) and have around 14 tons of thrust, 14.5 being the highest reported figure, so J-16 will have a better thrust to weight ratio than J-11B even, weight of J-16 is said to be 17000-18000kg region empty, supposedly it is 17,700kg.
Looks like the 96 usually found on most flankers, at least from what i’m seeing from pics we have of the J16’s top. And considering it is based off of the J11BS then yeah it likely shares that in common with it.
I have a feeling third one gonna be rejected. “Basic logic” wouldn’t cut for them, especially without some docs/studies/official statements to back it up
I mean, it’s not completely out of the question I guess.
Only Su-35 has the ability to carry 12x R-77s but ingame we have it on the Su-30SM, Gaijin has sorta set the precedent for ahistorical loadouts.
