China Flanker Thread III (land based, exclude J-15)
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
Still rarely seen, images of PLAAF J-16 carrying a targeting or designator pods and even here I'm not sure, if it is the YINGS III / /Type 390 targeting pod or the guidance pod for the KD-88 and YJ-91?
And in fact, I don't remember any image showing a J-16 carrying LGBs.

I've already replied to you on twitter lol, but I think that pod is the KD-88 datalink pod.
This is what the J-16 targeting pod looks like, and note the distinctive air intake on the top left of the targeting pod, which is not present on those pictures.
May have been posted before... J-16 night time training.

Interesting detail to distinguish between a J-16 and a J-16D: Due to the huge jammer pods on the J-16D's wings, the red and green navigation lights are duplicated and separated at the top and bottom in contrast to a normal J-16, which has only one light per pylon.
Thanks to @柳成梁/FB for the hint!
versus regular J-16:

What is the triangle box in front of the IRST ? It's a part of a missile launch detection sensors suit or just a wind deflector for protecting the IRST ?
