what is the longest range of Chinese Air to Air missile, do we have something that's over 400km to deal with AWAC ?

Maximum range of 400~500 KM.

I wouldn't worry about the range. The range must be consistent with radar. Right now, 400KM may even be stretching it.

It's the same problem, Brahmos faces. It can be 1,000 km range and be indestructible, but what are you going to hit if you don't know exactly where the enemy is. That's even if the Brahmos sale goes through, it doesn't matter(it didn't). This is a very precise operation, it's not carpet bombing Tokyo, where you drop and hope for the best.

Set ADIZ over new Delhi, we can interdict any of their civilian or military cargo entering New Delhi even from our border, 400km will be good enough since New Delhi is just 360km from our border

By the way, will the PLANAF also receive the J-16?

Depends on how many J-16s are produced.

Hmm ... to admit I'm not convinced, a least not yet.

Most jets shown are clearly single seater and the best I would say it is clearly a twin-seater is right on the beginning, but this has also the typical deeper PL-8-pylons as well as a pitot, so its most likely a J-11BSH.

I'm really not sure ....

I hope China to retire JH-7 and replace all by J-16 very soon, it's too old for modern warfare.

The JH-7A is still a pretty capable, especially compared to the ancient Q-5. Besides, China has yet to replace the 200+ J-7's still in service which are practically flying coffins. The Jh-7 is relatively modern ... so to speak.
