I think yellow one is J-15, grey is J-11BS. both aircraft in pic is double seat.


yellow development phase

grey massive production phase

I agree with the color scheme but looking at the pictures posted see here

but looking at the J-15 pic

you see a clear difference i.e. J-15 is a single seater while the plane in yellow in first pic is a two seater which made me think about it being J-11BS rather than J-15 I had another reason as well
now look at the second picture and note the canopy design

and now see the MKI canopy

they are similar which made me think that these airframes (both yellow and grey) are same i.e. J-11BS

Airbrake. Used to reduce airspeed during a landing.

This is showing bluish flame??; unlikely that of Sukhois & MiGs which has a kind-off orange efflux indicating high content of Dinitrogen monoxide (NitrousOxide)

GM-1 (Göring Mischung 1), colloquially known as Haha-Gerät (Ha-Ha Device) was a system for injecting nitrous oxide (laughing gas) into aircraft engines that was used by the Luftwaffe in World War II to boost the high-altitude performance of their aircraft. A different system for low-altitude boost known as MW 50 was also used, although GM-1 and MW 50 were rarely used on the same engine. However, MW-50 was not a nitrous-oxide system, but a Methanol-water injection system, which injected a mixture of methanol and water into the cylinders to cool the mix. Cooling causes the air to become denser, therefore allowing more into each cylinder for a given volume. This is the same principle that intercoolers and cold-air intakes work on.

Come on siege , that's a camera man hiding behind he needs some fresh air as well.

For the questioner, here is some more stuff of such type.

And these are for the JFT.

Do correct me if I am wrong; but aren't these spoilers besides engine on either side

No buddy these are air brakes.Fully extended.

The difference between spoilers & air brakes is that air brakes are designed to increase drag while making little change to lift, while the spoilers infact greatly reduce lift while making little change to drag.

I'll try to post some material on this a bit later in relevant thread, if you have further queries.
