Looks like this is how j-16 arh loadout will look like
Wouldn’t this be up to 8 pl-15 if I’m correct about its hardpoints

Should be yeah
Why? I think the J-16 will be a great fighter jet. It has very powerful engines, and it weighs less than the Su-35. Yes, it has fewer missiles, but if the missiles themselves are good, it’s not a problem. The Su-27 platform can’t be bad in air combat (except for the Su-34).
First clear image of the new J-15DT, sadly no angled radar cone like J-15T (but still a new cone when looked at closely), but still nice

These damn pilots edging us at this point.
Show me the damn countermeasures! 😭
Somebody needs to bring a step ladder to the next airshow

Someone take one for the team fr
Is su30mkk/mk2 limited to russian stuff for ground? I know they have chinese air to air missiles now, but how about for ground?
Guys is this a real image
no
A much smaller radar cone for bigger equipment cabin
Mid quality but there is another new picture of it;

Notice that the J-15DT has eliminated the dorsal airbrake.
True, I will mention it in my suggestion.
new J-20A/S seem has a new engine with 16 pieces nozzle(the count in the image missed one due to blurry image). could be developed based on WS-10D, with about 155KN thrust
According to well-informed Chinese military commentators, the production variant of the J-15T will not adopt the WS-10 engine, but instead use an upgraded naval version of the AL-31F with increased thrust. While I’m unfamiliar with follow-up models of the AL-31F-3, UEC showcased a naval engine designated AL-31F series 5/5-01 with 14,000 kgf thrust at the 2024 airshow, which appears to be the variant selected for the J-15T.

That seems like a step back compared to using domestic engines
On one hand, we don’t know the exact thrust output of the WS-10 engines installed on prototype 1518. On the other hand, this approach would standardize engine maintenance across the carrier fleet and reduce retraining costs for pilots adapting to throttle control during carrier landings.
Man i might be wrong. But Series 5 engine are for 1 engine aircraft like J-10. For two engine like Flankers 177c its the new engine they have Show on Zhuhai and in India.
Rostec - Media - News - UEC has First Presented the Latest Fifth Generation Aircraft Engine
"The AL-31F/FN/FP family engines for multi-role fighters have received upgraded appearance — Series 5. The new AL-31FN engine version is designed especially for single engine aircraft and features increased reliability. The engine will expand the aircraft range and altitude potential. This is ensured by a takeoff thrust increased up to 14 000 kgf and fuel consumption reduced by 6%. "
