Thanks bro, what a lovely endearing pic. Hope when she grows up, she will join the PLAAF and follow her father's footstep!

J-16 air refuel exercise. From translated description, this seem to be from recently exercise near Taiwan island.

I posted this in the other thread, appears that some of the footage is from J-16 (armed with PL-10) and some is from an Su-30 with R27/AA-10 Alamo

i thought j-11BG is carrying a new AESA? yet this one still has a pitot tube in front of its radome?

An aircraft having a pitot tube at the front of its radome has no relationship with what type of radar it uses.

J-11BG/BGH has an AESA in its grey radome yes.
J-11BG/BGH's grey radome has a pitot tube, also yes.



We've had pictures of J-11BG/BGH for a few years now, where at the time its grey radome with pitot tube was already long confirmed.

i understand that, my question was more like, why they don't replace with new radome when they change to AESA...
