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?

3118

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.

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.

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 …
