That reduces frontal RCS while allowing for a larger antenna aperture.

Something about Sino-Flankers is so aesthetically pleasing in a way that makes me like them most, maybe its the more smooth coloration, not sure

The default camo is just better.
Guys, do anyone has any info about J-11BSM?
Only mentioned in this old 2011 article on sina:
https://mil.news.sina.com.cn/2011-09-30/0958667848.html
Apparently a Canada-based East Asian defense review magazine predicted that PLAAF was going to develop J-11BSM multirole fighter with enhanced long-range strike capability based on J-11BS… No source stated, but it’s possible this elusive “J-11BSM” might have actually been J-16, which took first flight around the time of this article’s publication.
Livery, IRST, internal gun, the pod itself’s shape, inlet
Does anyone have any good images of the J-16’s cockpit?
I’ve put together with my non-existent artistic skills a rough mockup of what I belive it looks like based on available images I’ve found.
The left image is definitely not a J-16 all the text is in English… and it doesn’t match any images found online

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.

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

J-15 = J-11B ≠ J-16
