Good God there must be a way to automate this…
I am under the impression that the J-16 uses a GaAs radar with GaN MMIC amps, while the J-20 uses a fully GaN AESA.
But now I've seen this picture being thrown around, so am I under the wrong impression?

Thank you very much for clarifying!This picture is pretty ancient (early/mid 2010s) so it probably isn't up to date given the aircraft in question probably would've had at least one avionics refresh in that time. We know J-16 definitely has had one change of its radar between production batches, I wouldn't be surprised if J-20s have as well (and J-20A definitely will on top of it).
