Shenyang J-11, J-16, J-15, History, Performance & Discussion

What BRCCF?

Yes

Still puzzled to his ban. Is it permanent?

I don’t know about that

Yeah figured.
Just a pretty weird thing to blur out…

Huh, never noticed that there’s seemingly 2 different iterations of the WS-10B engines used on the J-16
20250723_140209
20250723_140104
20250723_140018
The first one is tail number 61248
And the later one is 70290

Spoiler


Which one is the newer one?

and there are rumours about nozzle change means different version of WS-10B. later version is said to has about 15KN thrust

I see, thank you

If this holds true, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the J-11BG (Block 07 & 08) would be truly impressive.
150,000/9.8*2/16,580=1.846

my bad, 15+KN is WS-10C’s estimated thrust, WS-10B-2 is estimated to be 14KN+
few sources mentioned newest WS-10B-3 also has 15KN+ but I doubt the source.

Been doing some reading and just looking at the WS-10B series.
From what I’ve gathered the current J-16 engine is called the WS-10B-3?

not confirmed, but at least there is a unofficially later version of B-2

This one is commonly called the B-3 online but obviously there’s no official designation available

15kN=1530kgf lol
WS-10B on J-10CE has 144kN, about 14694kgf.

Man I’m calling it now, Chinas first 14.0 is gonna be the J-11B late… literally copy pasted but with 8KN more thrust


Man… i had to put a filter on the image for this damn site to allow me to upload the image?

no pls, i want my J10C

Given that Gaijin has completely botched the J-10A’s FM, I honestly don’t think the heavier and slower J-10C would be a good choice.

I wouldn’t mind a J-11B with more thrust.
but it already overspeed easily on the deck so it wouldn’t really be too good i think apart from high ALT BVR.

AKA we need the J-16 😏

The J-11BG is a suitable choice, considering the PL-10/15 missiles won’t be coming to the game anytime soon, while the J-10C and J-16 are heavily tied to the PL-10/15.
Ps. There’s an AESA on J-10BG, not only more thrust.
