J-16 Strike Flanker (note the blue afterburner plume, which is indicative of a new fuel mix)

How do you know its a J-16 ? The only way I can identify a J-16 is through its twin front landing wheels.

You are correct, the blue flame is - at least IMO - not a detail that identifies a J-16 for 100% since it also depends on external conditions. The new (old-style) wingtip-pylons however for the new PL-10 are a detail !
