J-16 pilot recalled intercepting two F-35s: "Our territorial waters were directly behind us, and their intention was clear: to provoke us. After the first encounter, I had already locked onto them. Another of their aircraft then forcibly broke away from the air combat zone and locked onto me. I then pulled my aircraft up and performed a barrel roll, flying upside down over their canopy. At the time, my canopy was only 10 to 15 meters away from theirs. After this maneuver, I locked onto both aircraft simultaneously, and in the end, both aircraft left."

Getting locked 1 vs 2 lmfao.

I somewhat wonder, in a hypothetical 6th gen world, who would be responsible for peacetime messaging.
It isn't unlike messaging with submarines, which is often as stupid/counterproductive as it's ineffective(remembering 1990s story when german submarine tried to stop Balcan smugglers, and they just ignored it).
Being deadly isn't all to it.

I know that I said before that some times you win, some times you loses this sort of cat and mouse game but when you are at a disadvantage when it is two vs one then it is definitely skill issue. Should increase flight hours.

So basically, J-16 was fat shaming two F-35?
Peacetime air manoeuvre is so different from BVR. I wonder if instead of J-16 we got one of the Su-35 in this situation would it work even better for this role.
