hard to say, back to my argue with other here long time ago about the thrust of WS-10 and AL-31, their static thrust standard is actually simulated environment of 0.6 mach speed

Hey guys, does the Chinese not carry any iir air to ground missiles on their flankers?
Did a cursory google search and it seems like the j-16 doesn’t carry any agm 65d/kh-38mt equivalents, seems like they only get spice equivalents

not so SPICE, KD-88 is a turbo engine agm.
and there are very few information about Chinese anti-surface ammunition

Maybe this can be considered static bench thrust, which closely approximates thrust at Mach 0.6 after accounting for total pressure losses caused by the intake system.

The primary air-to-ground missile is the KD-88, supplemented by the stealth glide dispenser AKF-98A, while the core anti-ship missile is the subsonic YJ-83K, and the supersonic YJ-91 with its dual anti-ship and anti-radiation variants.

It depends cause stuff like RD33 have like 8 tonnes of thrust, some even claim up to 9-10t on various posters but realistically its more like 6-7.
