Nice comparison made by "QuantumFX" (Key-Forum)

Shorter engine nozzle and silver petals mean WS-10.

[Note: Thank you to Deino for the J-15 WS-10A engine pictures. Thank you to Lion for the analysis.]

thx Martian

A closer look at J-10B with WS-10B engine

J10B with WS10B

Actually, there're two (and half) different types of WS-10 nozzles. The lightweight ejector type for J-10, and the high-speed iris type for J-11 (incld. a modified, low-observable derivative of this for J-20).

thx milvipes and Martian

I'm wondering why PLA Navy still ordering J-11B..why order not J-16 even if it's for land base use, this way will not only lower down the cost per unit but increase the capability at the same time.

J16 didn't even take the first flight yet.....however someone from "9ifly" claimed that first prototype might appear in public this month

Nice to see China's engine program finally getting into shape.

Is this the one with AESA radar bro ?

China just developed a PESA trial product earlier this year. I wouldn't expect fighter-based AESA to be in service before J-20.

We here all defer to you of course given your superiority in Chinese defence knowledge.

Don't be an idiot. That was an AESA. I can even give you the name of the guy responsible for its development.

Opps I mean J-15

We know that's a fighter-borne ESA radar for sure. Is that a PESA or AESA? Hard to tell from available photos.
Huzhigeng@CDF said it's an AESA. Let's see.

Which is why nobody listens to your expectations.

J-10B was tested with AESA earlier this year, and it is a smaller variant of the radar on the J-20. Officials also proved that the J-11B and J-15 are all equipped or soon to be equipped with AESA.

because the J15 isn't better than J11B, if it is about the economic of scale, you will want to give that to the J11B then the J15.

of course, did you expect J20?
