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

lighter is questionable

They havent reverted the aim120 changes yet if youre lucky you’ll get a minor buff that really doesnt fix the core issue.

Can’t wait for the same RWR and radar as the J-10C/J-15T 😭

Any guess/prediction for what line the J-16 will be in?

JH-7 line prolly but maybe J-15T line

Well time to start grinding just in case😭

Oh lord I thought I was in a bad situation…

That’s a lot of rp.

I have the JH-7A and A2 in the way.

I still got some Rps left from the modification of the planes like the f-16 and the j10c and both the su-27s and the j11b

Easy 300k a day

Same, I have maybe 60k free rp from j10c and J15 combined, plus with MKK it’s easy money.

RWR im fine with for this tbh, the newer one is hella nice (although 45 degree is sad). its purely the radar i fear for as we have very few sources that talk about a named system

about the best we’ll get is this paper most likely

Three sided, what that mean? Like some sort of gimbal?

thanks for the translation
so this could be testing side looking arrays mabye?

side looking arrays like in the SU-57 ( the yellow panels in the picture)

Huh that’s interesting

also the J-20 and J-16 are missing the notable identifiers for that kind of radar i am psure

Is there a variant of the J-16 with canted radome?

Radar in the paper looks to be one of those, while the J-16 shown in the trailer looked to have a regular flanker radome.

J-16D has a canted radome but its also missing the IRST and gun
