Shenyang J-16 multirole fighter was registered as 70691 with the People's Liberation Army Air Force's 98th Air Brigade, based at Chongqing in southwest China. A two-seat strike fighter derived from the Su-30 layout, powered by WS-10 turbofans and fitted with an indigenous AESA radar, the J-16 entered service in small numbers in 2015 after radar refinement delayed wider introduction, and was publicly revealed at the 2017 PLA Day parade. Serial numbers seen at a January 2018 exercise at Cangzhou identified the 98th Brigade as one of the first three units operating the type, alongside Flight Test and Training Center brigades. By late 2023 at least twelve PLAAF combat brigades flew the J-16.
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.
