To admit, even if it seems so, but looks as if the radome is no longer canted, I'm almost sure it is a J-15.

Even more since that J-16 '1613' image is already more than two years old; it's from the 11. May 2014.

IMO it seems as if this again is nothing more than a repost of old images randomly put together.

Is the J-11B still in production ? I wonder a bit, since the "final" new bird with the highest c/n I know was spotted as J-11B 0618 on 31. December 2014 ... and the equivalent BS was 0321.

J-11B 0618 - 31.12.14 - 1.jpg
J-11BS 0321 - 31.12.14 - 2.jpg

I heard ShenYang is busy on mass-produce J-15 fighters for Navy, and prepare for production of J-16 and J-11D for PLAAF ... long time not see new J-11B out.

BTW all J-10B/C, J-20 from ChengDu and J-11D/J-16, FC-31 from ShenYang already(will) equip China domestic AESA fire-control radar inside nose ... good news is Chinese start building hundreds advanced fighters to improve strength of PLAAF in Asia region.

1st step PLAAF need equip 1,000+ 3-gen & 4-gen advanced fighters in 2020.:-)

Then WS10x shall be very reliable that we can mass produce these fighters.

After last 200+ AL-31 jet engines deal China bought from Russia (now most installed on J-11B and J-10A / J-10B fighters), recent years we not read any new deal from both ... when find out latest J-10C / J-11D / J-16 fighter photos out on internet, we can see they flying with domestic WS-10 jet engines.

It seems China WS-10x jet engines can mass production, after solved domestic engine problem China new-designed fighters like J-15/J-10C/J-11D/J-16 can mass production too. So next two years if there no any news about jet engine deal from Moscow to BeiJing, i believe YES domestic WS10x jet engine already done ~! Of course the speed of Chinese building new fighters won't stop, will see more PLAAF fighters with WS-10x.

:china:
With domestic Jet Engines & AESA fire-control radar mass production & equip on aircrafts, total fighter numbers of PLAAF J-10A/J-10B/J-10C/J-11/J-11B/J-11D/J-16/J-15/J-20/J-31 can easily over 1,000+ soon (as far as i know now 200+ J-10A, 90+ J-10B, 150+ J-11, 100+ J-11B, 40+ J-15, future J-10C / J-11D / J-16 each will produce 200x, J-20 will produce 200x too), we also has hundreds of Su35 / Su30mkk / Su30mk2 / JH-7A / J-8II / J-7 fighters. :D:D:D

21-century is a exciting century for China & Chinese Airforce. :coffee:

As far as I know three are confirmed but You should better ask @cnleio or others !

By the way, what about these regularly popping up rumours concerning a "Silent Flanker" (Photoshop PS below) ...

J-11D+ Silent Flanker whif.jpg

J-18 PS-job but said to be flown on 27.10.15 - 1 xs.jpg



Rumours and just plain fakes or indeed real projects ????
