Chinese Flanker Family: J-11, J-16 ... Su-27SK/UBK, Su-30MKK

By the way I've just read a report / rumour that the EW-version of the J-16 has made its maiden flight today. Can anyone confirm ?

Containing lots of info for those who read Chinese :D

I can't see the photo. Can you repost it again CIRR, in different place? :D
 
But does -15° C stop a camera from working ??? ... or was the flight cancelled due to the cold ? ... or was the photographer frozen ?

Notice the different radar dome(different from what J-16 and J-11D have)。New AESA radar with active electronic warfare capability。

Pics, or it didn't happen. ;)

“EA-15G” shouldn't be far off either。:enjoy:

“EA-15G” based on J-15S should hit the street in 2016.

What about regular J-15S? How many will be produced, and will they have the same avionics and subsystems as the J-16?
 
J-16D

The latest images (December 2015) suggested that an EW Wild Weasel variant of J-16 (J-16D?) in the same class of American EA-18G flew for the first time on December 18, 2015 at SAC. The aircraft features a pair of large wingtip ESM/ELINT pods similar to the AN/ALQ-218 tactical jamming receiver onboard EA-18G. It also has multiple antennas mounted on its fuselage including one on the side of engine intake, one behind the cockpit, one underneath the cockpit plus a rectangular dielectric panel behind the radome. A shorter radome on the nose suggests it might be equipped with a new AESA radar with integrated EW capabilities similar to AN/APG-79. As a dedicated EW aircraft, J-16D can fly fast and maneuverably enough to escort the fighter/fighter bomber formation and clear the pathway for the air strike with YJ-91 as well as the new generation of ARMs (e.g. LD-10, CM-102). However, its windshield IRST/LR system and the starboard 30mm gun for dogfight appear to have been removed to create room for extra electronics. As the result J-16D might rely solely on AAMs for self-defence.
