The PLAAF's Shenyang J-16 is a twin-engine, twin-seat multirole fighter introduced in 2013. Based on the Russian Su-30MKK, it features advanced Chinese avionics, including AESA radar, enabling air superiority, precision strike, and electronic warfare missions. With 12 weapon hardpoints, the J-16 can carry air-to-air missiles like the PL-10 and PL-15, precision-guided bombs, and anti-ship missiles. Over 350 J-16s are in service as of 2024, including the specialized J-16D electronic warfare variant. The J-16 reflects China's push to modernize its air force with a versatile platform capable of diverse combat roles.
Designed as two-seat multi-role variant of the Su-27, the Su-30 was first flown (as the Su-27PU) on December 31, 1989. The design grew from a Soviet need for a long-range interceptor based on the Su-27 with the addition of a second pilot and retractable in-flight refuelling probe. Similar to the F-15E Strike Eagle, the Su-30 is still a highly capable Air Superiority Fighter while an advanced avionics suite make it formidable in the Air-to-Ground Strike Fighter role. The Su-30 has spawned numerous sub-variants, including several designed for the export market. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
