They both beat SU-35 consistently during mock exercises in China
On paper J16 has more potent than F-15E.
J-16 brings PL15 and PL21 with max range beyond 400km, plus AESA 1800 TR.
F-15EX is not equipped with an optoelectronic distributed aperture detection system and a forward-looking infrared system, while J-16 has these all.
The F-15EX is equipped with two General Electric F110-GE-129 engines, each with a maximum thrust of 75 kN and a maximum afterburner thrust of 128 kN, while the J-16 is equipped with a self-developed turbocharger. Fan-10B Taihang engine, the maximum thrust of a single engine is 86.37 kN, and the maximum afterburner thrust is 145 kN, so J-16 will have more thrust.
