I think it's Photoshopped; the reflection of light off the aircraft doesn't match with that of the desert below. The planes also looked somewhat cropped / unnatural.

You are right.

From 6.00mins onwards to 10.34mins, talk about J-10C, J-16 and J-20.

J-10C has high level of network, modern radar and is capable of air to ground and air to sea attack capabilities. Great air to air combat

J-16 has the most powerful fighter radar installed for PLAAF. It has the abilities to see enemy first and strike. Sometimes enemy dont even know J-16 whereabout and will get shot down without even know what hit them. J-16 also capable of directing enemy aircraft

J-20 basically a 5th gen fighter with everything leap from 4th gen fighter from network, operating system, stealth and situation awareness. It give them an edge over peer operating 4th gen fighter jet.

Yes, according to the pilot.. J-16 can also act as a mini AWACS, center of directing aerial battle.

Thanks for your reply and indeed, that surprises me.

May the J-16 radar is bigger than the one on J-20 due to the enormous nose cone of J-16. Therefore more raw power. Maybe also the reason why its price tag is more expensive than J-20.

Size matters
