A J-11BS prototype (#532?) was seen parked at the CFTE airfield in preparation for another test flight. Based on J-11B, this tandem-seat trainer/strike version has been speculated to be in the same class of Su-30MKK and American F-15E, with a WSO sitting in the backseat. It is thought to feature an enhanced fire-control system with additional AG modes. Besides PL-8 and PL-12 AAMs, it could also carry the same precision guided weapons being carried by JH-7A, such as KD-88 ASM and LS-500J LGB. Like J-11B, the aircraft is also powered by two WS-10 turbofan engines. Compared to JH-7A, J-11BS is expected to have a more powerful radar, a greater weapon load and a longer range. Once in production, the aircraft could eventually replace the earlier Su-30MKK. The first prototype of J-11BS was built by the end of 2007. It was rumored that one prototype crashed during a test flight in 2009. J-11BS is believed to serve as a fighter trainer for J-11B pilots initially. It was rumored that PLAN has ordered a few J-11BSs (J-11BSH?).

The source you're quoting from is a fanboy site.
 
these information all come true eventually J-10B, J-11B, J-11BS ,J-15.most fanboys can easily separate those usefull informations from someone's personal work,do you really believe some fanboy get so close to SAC's airport and shoot these pics?

I am not worried about airframe, materials, radar, etc... just this WS-10A. How reliable is it?

Futhermore, on this naval J-15(the newest offspring of Su-30familytree?): Why can't they just develop a straightforward naval version of J-XX once and for all with drastically improved RCS, instead of this 4th gen J-15, bearing in mind that whatever naval version PLAN will have must soon face the challenge of F-35 class.

It's not in any military's interest to be Indian. This is China's first carrier-borne aircraft. The Chinese already spent a long time on the Su-33. It's a 4-generation leap. Going 5th would be Tejas-style.

Are you serious about challenging the F-35? The Ruskies don't even got those. It'd be another 15 years until that happens. My guess is that you guys will joint develop one with Russia.

We won't have any joint development with Ruskies in the future, it is same for them.

F-35 is just some overpriced toy, nothing intimadating to PLAAF. But I have to admit that X-37 is unbelievable, and we won't come up with anything close in another 10-20 years.
 
Something wrong with the pic……..it looks like planes are just standing on ground without having there landing gear open…..!!!

as anyone can see the height of the plane from ground....!!!

The first regiment of J-11? Different colors of the nose cones implicated different radars. Light grey is AESA, black KJ series PDs and others older PDs. The first plane in the picture is a J-11a with partial upgrade to B standards, if you look at the painting.
 
^^^ Radar is high powered so still not too good to get too close.

Its emits radiation like a microwave oven
