Several fighters rose to the sky in the province of Jiangs in the north of the PRC. "The new J-16 aircraft has the best aerodynamic configuration and better management characteristics [compared to previous aircraft]," said Zhang Zenchenko, Deputy Chief of the Brigade Staff, who received the fighter jets. The publication states that the military was likely to be moved to the J-16 from old J-7 or J-8 aircraft. For the brigade, it is a "huge step" in terms of combat capabilities.
According to unnamed experts, the J-16 is a 4,5 generation aircraft, which is inferior to only the J-20 stealth fighter. The J-16 is also commissioned. The island in its reports often captures planes of this type in the air defense recognition zone. This may indicate a "decent number" J-16 at the Eastern Theater command, journalists say. It should be noted that the J-16 is in fact a deep modernization of the Shenyang J-11 aircraft, and essentially Su-27.
