He is talking about the most outer underwing pylon, on this picture its also equipped with just PL-10.

ah, sorry i though he was talking abt the second most inner pylon

So, j-16 loadout for radar missiles is basically the su-35 er loadout? Kind of disappointing, the fact that a fighter thats like double the weight of j-10c while having the same radar missile loadout as it is dumb. IMO that means j-16 will be kinda doa for air to air, why fly it over j-10c? J-10c will have much superior aerodynamics and kinematics. Only positive for j-16 is air to ground load out and its cm count

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

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

Notice that the J-15DT has eliminated the dorsal airbrake.

True, I will mention it in my suggestion.
