First confirmed photos of the J-16 released

[Windjammer]

There does seems a striking resemblance with the SU-34., however the J-16 appears to have twin cockpits rather than side by side seating. ??

Blah.
That image cannot be used as a proof to show that J-16 bears any resemblance to Su-34. As far as I am concerned it is just their 'J-11' [aka illegaly produced Su27]. Plus, don't ever trust Chinese sources. All their sources always go like this

Improved radar [AESA?]
new jet[J-16?]
Improved Engines [WS-15?]

This allows them plausible deniability, so that if ever their lies were caught by some country or agency and revealed in public, they can put the blame to the Chinese yahoos all over the internet.
All they do is provide us with this - improved engines, advanced avionics, improved radar, composites, RAM etc and the Chinese and Pakistani fanboys fill in the rest.

Fortunately.. this extreme secrecy works out pretty well..
After all.. till the J-20 came out..
Till it was shown to the world.. just one month before that event it was being dismissed as a CGI or photoshop.

I don't recall any such thing. In fact their was a lot of buzz about J-XX if you remember.

Anyway, this system works well enough for us too.
Pakistani's remain satisfied with their below par products in hope of superior products from their all-weather friends and keep away from western maal.

look..the pic is blur..but still,if it its not a wooden model,then,if you concentrate little on tail section and frontal section,there is a lot of common.same "Beak" and a long "chute area"(i don't know what it calls)..but still,i said before,we should wait some more time..by the way,another copy paste i may say.. (trolling... )

If i were to hazard a guess, I'd say it is much more similar to Su 30MKK.
