its a Su-27SK that the chinese upgraded still using russian avionivcs, mainly the radar and rwr
The J-11A was built in China regardless if it used Russian avionics, it was the first ‘indigenous’ Sino Flanker depending on your definition, iirc all the parts were produced independently from Russia (may be wrong though).

iirc the J-11 is a license built Su-27S, so all the parts would be produced and assembled in China to the exact specifications of the Su-27S (Technically SK but still).

I have found a incomplete image and am currently searching for more sources, but I am confident that this constitutes another strong piece of evidence.

Is there any chance we’ll receive an SU-30MK2 for the line? I hope at least

probably, you never know
hope so! would be nice to see it in either the Bomber line (After the H5) or after Feibao in the attacker one imo.
It might be the PL-16 or PL-17, but this is an unknown missile—we can hardly figure out its actual type.

However, it is widely believed that the PL-16 is a medium-range missile with extended range and maneuverability, while the PL-17 is an ultra-long-range air-to-air missile specifically designed to engage high-value targets
