Not only j-11b but finally a clear image showing a B from the 7. Division.

Interesting since this pattern of markings was only seen on early J-11Bs from the 1. Division but with AL-31 .... So either these markings now also on WS-10 powered birds or the batch 1 B models also got the Taihang.

Anyone with an idea, why the 111. Brigade Urumqi Base re-converted to the J-11A and replaced their J-11Bs ???

J-16 is the Chinese Strike Flanker, class of Su30 MK2

China demonstrated fighter J16 to the press at aircraft factory Shenyang Aircraft Co; it is a class of Su-30MK2, reports Hong Kong military magazine Kanwa referring to a Chinese authoritative military source.

This airplane is same class as of Russian fighter Su-30MK2, the batch of them was sold to China early in 2000's, reports Interfax citing the source.

According to the magazine, Chinese Navy is quite satisfied with performance characteristics of Su-30MK2 fighter. Shenyang aircraft factory created that fighter with antiship capabilities adapted for Chinese-made missiles. Basically, the fuselage remained the same as J11BS airplane has, said the source.

The magazine reports that the first batch of 24 fighters J16 had been already constructed.

Regardless what they - either some fan-boys or any PAF top-brass - would like to get, they will never. China will NEVER risk the good industrial and military cooperation with Russia only to sell a few of their own Flankers to Pakistan.
Even if we surely can discuss on weather the J-11/-15/-16-series are illegal copies since the original contract only allowed the Su-27SK, they will even less likely export any of them.

So, if the PAF wants some Flankers ... go to Russia and ask.

Problem is Russia won't allow due to India. Thus we can request Russia to allow behind the scenes sales through China meaning we buy Chinese version. But personally I would like that we go for the Chinese 5th gen fighter program instead of getting this.
