Is J-11BH naval Flanker?

Is J-11BH naval Flanker?

Yes, just a landbased variant of the J-11B flown by the PLAN.

Is there any structural difference or is it simply adding a letter in the naming?

Not sure, eventually as the naval J-10AH from CAC - with some additional anti-corrosion improvements. But visibly there are no changes.

An interesting observation besides the images itself are the two different nozzles of the WS-10B engines, even more that the left one - an older production batch J-16 - has the new engines, while the right one - a later production batch - has still the old ones.

China's J-16 fighter jet is flawless and much superior to the Su-30: pilot - Global Times

"In terms of performance, the J-16 is a superior to all types of aircraft I have flown. Speaking of the control capacity of the aircraft, the J-16 is a 3.5 generation plane with huge breakthroughs in radar and fire control systems in comparison with previous aircraft, said Wang Songxi, a flying instructor at the People's Liberation Army Northern Theater Command Air Force, during an interview with China Central Television (CCTV) on Tuesday.

The J-16 has no flaws, because it is equipped with many types of weapons and can operate under all weather conditions, Wang said.

Explaining the strong combat capabilities of the J-16, Wang drew some comparisons with other well-known aircraft.

Normal people usually can't tell the difference between a J-16 and a Su-30 from their appearance, but many things are difference from the inside, Wang said, noting that there is a gap that makes the J-16 a generation more advanced than the Su-30.

Not a surprise if he is comparing the brand new Chinese J-16s with the AESA radar to the Chinese SU-30MKKs that China has with 1990s era mechanically scanned radars

Su-30MKK are upgraded to J-16 standard.

Su-30MKK are upgraded to J-16 standard.

Wrong. They are upgrade to fire Chinese PL-12 only. But nothing much has changed.
