China Flanker Thread II

[siegecrossbow]

Seems to be a report related to the J-16's relationship to the Su-30MKK ... not sure however how meaningful and reliable!

Would anyone be so kind and sumarise it up in English?

Basically he states that the J-16 is not a direct reverse engineered copy of Su-30. Nothing we already don’t know.

Social media here in Taiwan is now blowing up with the news that a PLAAF SU-35 had crashed in Southern China. I'm seeing a lot of supposed "leaked photos" of the crash. Many are saying that it was 'heavily damaged by a Taiwanese missile" when "it crossed the center line of the Taiwan Strait" and that it crashed during its flight back to China. I don't believe the claim that it was shot by a Taiwanese missile but there are many "leaked photos" of the crash and screenshots of people talking about the crash on Weibo before it was nuked by censors. People are saying that the pilot didn't survive and that the plane crashed into a local neighborhood causing a lot of casualties. It is also said that all information regarding this event are "censored" currently. There are also supposed "dissident accounts" on Twitter saying that many Chinese citizens are celebrating the crash on the streets and chanting "Death to CCP" and that the entire town is currently on lockdown as the PAP is preparing for a crackdown riot-police style. I'm on mobile now so I'll upload the photos and update with you guys later.

Official statement from Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense, translated can be summed up as: Reports of Taiwan shooting down Chinese Su-35 is totally fake news

J-11B with Dual ECM pods?

J-11B with Dual ECM pods?

Looks like ECM pods, probably KJ or is it KG-300?

Its the regular and well known KL700B (I thought it is called KG700B however?) and not that unusual to carry two.

I have seen JH-7 and H-6 carry 2 pods but not others.

J-16 carrying one. What is the designation of the pod?

You are indeed correct. One pod is not unusual, but two are new.
