China paid for the design of Su-27 series and are free to twit for any changes. Even the Mig-21 design are gift by Soviet union to China and F-7 ,J-9L are all legal modification planes from that series.How many sukhois china copied ?
... The obvious conclusion is WS-10 has greater thrust compared to AL-31F.
Thanks and indeed "interesting" ... however to come to the conclusion the WS-10 has a "greater thrust compared to AL-31F" based on a lower exhaust temperature and that based on colours is a bit far-fetched!
Even more since today most engines are aimed for even higher temperatures in order to increase their efficiency ... as such a contra-argument could now be to say "the WS-10 has a lower exhaust temperature, and as such a lower core temperature, which would be a hint it is not as efficient and technology-wise "older" or at least less modern!"
If engine 2 can launch the same weight (that of a Flanker in this case) as engine 1 at a lower temperature then it can launch more than engine 1 when the temperature is the same for both.
Anyways, the science is not exact and efficiency is another question

- from HuitongThe latest rumor (March 2021) suggested that a J-16 testbed featuring the AI algorithm Intelligence Victory acting as the copilot in the backseat has been undergoing test flights at SAC.
Allegedly a J-16 of the latest production batch (07 ?) with the new WS-10 engines featuring the slightly modified longer nozzle feathers. I'm a bit surprised on the tail-art!?
Is this a watermark on the tail made by the photographer/poster of that image or is it real?

The watermark Chinese meaning is AI on the tail of the J-16. I would think the photographer/poster would add their own site or nick name as watermark instead of the word AI in Chinese.
Are all the Su-30 being upgraded to J-16 standard?
