…

Thanks … that image is new to me and it si showing the new KJ-500 !! :applause:

is this J-16 or J-11B?
…
i do not know where is the difference

Never mind … the main differences for a J-16 are:
– a twin-tire front gear
– an off-set positioned IRST-dome
– the same taller tails like the Su-30MKK has but not with these squared fins. (In fact this is the most difficult to spot difference. If You look at a a side image of both aircrfat – esp. the first one in #799 – then there is a fixed part between the fin’s base and the rudder (yellow), which is part of the rudder on the J-16 and Su-30MKK)

Hope that helps a bit.

Is there word on which engines are being used for J-15 and -16? Granted it would be strange for Shenyang to backtrack from WS-10.

The current serial J-15s are again or still powered by the AL-31F, whereas the J-16 uses the WS-10A !

This looks very much like a PS-job based on the image You posted here:

the Chinese media is saying they developed an ASM version.

Sources like news.21cn.com are saying that not me

That again might be … but quite often the Chinese media also tells things they simply snap out anywhere and esp. news-reports like the one You mention are not really reliably as a source.

J-16BS

NO. that’s simply a J-11BS – in fact the trainer version of the J-11B – operated by the 32. Fighter Division and even more there is nothing like a J-16BS !
