Those missiles certainly look to be YJ-15s, one underneath each wing (two YJ-15s total).
Kinda hoping that the J-16s can carry YJ-15s as well.

Pretty good bet that anything J-15 variants can carry, that J-16 should be compatible with as well (though vice versa may not be categorically true for everything).
Whether they would use J-16 in a maritime strike role frequently is a different matter, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few units are equipped for it.
There is also presumably a viable use case for a land-attack variant (KD-15?).
Kill all AL-31Fs without mercy
Genuinely who in their right minds would even say "bbb-but what about UEC they need the PLAN buying from them" I say let them ROT. Who cares? Why would you prioritise them over domestic engine firms? A preposterous notion from the very beginning. I want to see NONE of that crappy engine architecture in the PLAN's new carrier wings.
I hear the WS-10H2 is near. But whether we'll see it as soon as this year is another question...

i was about to mention this.
its high time for PLAN to take action. immediately replace it with superior domestic machine.
What's the diff between ws10h and h2 more thrust like Ws10c and c2

Those remaining AL-31F compatible airframes would've burn through its lifespan as it is, and J-15T onward airframe should've solved that problem.
B/c evidently crappy 30-year old engine is still better enough for the specific application, despite not being domestic.
Which is risk, but also money going elsewhere and political backlash.
Given that Al-31 is old and is clearly weak for this aircraft, it should give you an idea or two on how "suitable" WS-10 is for the job to this very day.
