New photo of J-11D. If you increase the brightness of the image, you can make out a canted radome.

PLAAF decided to keep a single-seater to go along with the J-16? Also looking like the Navy will get J-15D with twin seats.
So SAC will end up with four flanker variants being built into the immediate future -- J-11D/J-16 and J-15T/J-15D?
I heard a rumor that J-11D is an upgrade kit for existing J-11B rather than new planes.New photo of J-11D. If you increase the brightness of the image, you can make out a canted radome.

Make sense, production of J11 should be at the end. Upgrading existing J11A/B to J11D standard would take a few years, therafter the production lines should be retooled for making J31/j35.I heard a rumor that J-11D is an upgrade kit for existing J-11B rather than new planes.

Yes likely, 11B & BS could've been with 111th Brigade around 2012~2013 (when 37th Division 111th Reg merged with Korla AB) I think. Also see the details of WS-10A, PL-8 & PL-12.WTC? ... so eventually 111th Air Brigade at Korla?
Yes apparently 08 batch was just seen in January, and now 09, seems like PLAAF is inducting this at breakneck speed!
