Wow … Interesting image since it shows two J-16s with the right one using the old WS-10B with the short nozzle feathers, whereas the left one has the newer WS-10B Series 03 with the longer nozzle feathers.

I would love to see a EW J16D variant of this J16 in PAF service one day! Would be a fantastic addition to operate alongside the J10CE's and JF17s as an integrated package.

Good that they got rid off the ugly black radome, light grey matches the tone better. J-16 and J-10C are ideal for air to ground search and destroy especially in taking out enemy tanks, troops emplacement, structures, ships & SEAD wild weasel operations taking out enemy SAM/AAA. Stealth fighters can't carry that many missiles & bombs internally. I'm still waiting for LKJ86 to post photos of J-16 carrying precision guided munitions especially laser guided tactical air to ground missiles with effective range 9nm or more like blue arrow missiles.

You confuse this with the J-11B … no j-16 ever had a black radome.

Again with these rocket attacks utilizing high value platform. It seems like China is not learning anything from Russian experience in Ukraine by putting these expensive plane at risk of MANPADS. There is no reason to risk advanced strike planes to perform low altitude attacks with standoff munition and armed drones these days.

Sometimes it makes you wonder if the PLAAF was really competent.

Zoom and boom. No chance MANPADS can intercept.
