That’s a drag problem not a thrust problem. In a straight line it’s insanely fast.
True, but with enough thrust it can compensate drag issues, no?
Its both
Has anyone any information on the new J15s? Seems like in the videos of 001 and 002 dual carrier strike group footage they have a new paintwork similar to that of J16, but lighter in colour
It’s J-15B, a fully upgraded one using some of J-11D’s tech/design

You can think of it as J-16 engine + avionics in the J-15 air frame.
Does anyone know if j-16 or j-11d better for air to air
IDK about J11D, but J16 definitely has PL15/17 equipped so should be better although those weren’t present when J11D came along.
Scale model concept for the J-16 max air to air capability, 16 PL-15s and 6 PL-10s.

I think you have a J-16 with your missiles

Theoretically they could utilize triple racks under the wings for an additional four or six missiles but there is no point, no one will ever take off with such a large number of ordnance in real life.

You’ll have enough fuel for 10 minutes

triple rack for which missile?
Both
Technically we’ve never seen a J-16 with double rack pylons, at least for AAMs
This should be for rockets, the rails are too short.

I’m aware, I was just stating that it is a theoretical possibility to mount that many missiles since to my knowledge the wings can support the weight… and developing a triple pylon would not be very difficult for the PRC.
We could make the assumption for double racks since we do see them on the J-10s.
Still waiting for J11B RN. Looks great though, I love this low visibility cammo.
So cool 🤤🤤
