This is The Best Flanker in the World

[@Millennium7HistoryTech]

China J-11D is expected to be the best Flanker in the world. Before, the J-16 was supposed to be the best Flanker in the world.

[@markjackson7467]

@John Grigg Try saying something remotely relevant you dipper

[@oLevLovesLove]

China has never offered any of its flanker variants on the international arms market as a concession to Russia. Russia was also not completely blameless in the way the original Su27 deal fell apart, there was extreme tardiness and unreliability on their part in the period of 1996 to the early 2000s due to the collapse of the USSR.

[@lancemurdoc6744]

This might be true, but Chine always try to manufacture everthing by itself. They even do it when their own product is more expensive then an import product with compareable quality. They do it simply becauce they try to keep the money and the whole chain of economic value in China. Trust me I work with people from China since more than 15 years. They buy at the beginning, but as soon as they identify a real nead or market, they instandly try produce it in China.

China and Flanker are completed each other, in one hand China aire force fill the gap of defence system before J10 and J20 come out, so they will not be complete defenceless for several years. (Also get the russian tech which was still consider advanced at that time). On the other hand, these deal really save the russian plane industry, it kept everything going in trouble time. Also Chinese user do giave a lot of valuable feedback about the technical details, eg. early Flanker's weak structure problem, these feedback also help the Russia to design and make Flanker better. A win-win situation for both.

[@vickydroid]

The breadth of these programmes is remarkable, in this case this is leveraging an already remarkable airframe for more capability, notably China going down the F15E tandem config for the A2G role vs the side by side of Su-34, probably influenced by the Su-24 and F-111 of the 70s. This doesn't stop them from carrying on with more fundamental aircraft development. I suppose not sacrificing current capabilities whilst developing future aircraft Bravo another interesting post.

[@WanderfalkeAT]

The Tandem Configuration limits Pilot to WSO interaction to Audio, while the Side by Side help's immensly with the Workload, Communication, Systems Management. The Su-34 and the Ka-52 are the way for Russia. Impressive Aircraft both of them. The only Downside with the Su-34 is the rear visibility, but they have a Toilet instead :)

[@vickydroid]

@@WanderfalkeAT You might have to ask operational pilots about that, all I seem to recall was that from a study of side by side v tandem in a 60's or even 50s was that side by side was psychologically advantageous for the crew's willingness to undertake and complete missions in the nuke role. Other than that virtually all modern fast jet attack aircraft in the NATO Inventory are tandem or even single seat (go figure) in any case if you missed the point of China's appropriation of the Flanker airframe for systems upgrades, it minimises the design risk if you don't radically change the airframe, I daresay that without an SU-34 to hand to develop a side-by-side variant for marginal operational advantage designing a wholly new duck bill cockpit for their attack aircraft would have been a pain, they took the less radical path of the tandem configuration.

[@suisinghoraceho2403]

I guess tandem better preserves the air superiority capabilities of the plane as well, making it more multi role.

[@suisinghoraceho2403]

@@WanderfalkeAT Never thought the Russians to be the ones that provide more crew comfort.

[@vickydroid]

@@suisinghoraceho2403 Its also just less risk for the Chinese as they are just keeping the gross airframe configuration more or less the same so while they are upgrading systems they are not worrying about serious aerodynamic changes which will need to happen if they build a side by side cockpit (even if they have acces to the blueprints to an SU-34) they will need to not only reconfigure the forward control surfaces but also the changes to the flight control systems.

Dude. You are the best public domain aggregator of information on weapons systems I have seen on KZbin. Your detail and workmanship is impressive. Thanks for another deep dive into the fascinating world of Russian and Russian derived Fighter aircraft. If the training of the Chinese pilots and their tactics are worthy of this aircraft, the prospect of our fifth gen fighters facing a huge fleet of these and a significant number indigenous Chinese stealth fighters for intelligence and targeting is kind of frightening. I still have confidence that our Air Force and Navy can deal with them, but we may see some serious casualties in numbers we have not faced since Viet Nam. And the Chinese will have enough numbers to absorb significant casualties and still pose a threat.

J-11D has been under test for years and maybe we'll never produce them. Since a 4++gen fighter using 5th gen avionics can't be much cheaper than a 5th gen fighter and its air superiority capacity can never match a real 5th fighter. The fact is we choose to directly put J20 into mass production. Btw, the reason why keep producing 4++gen J16s is that they are multi-role, having great payload, and are suitable for intercepting and long-range CAP missions because they have double seat, just like F15EX. A good parter of J20s.

Interesting detail I noticed. For the J-15Bs, the back wall of the radome is angled upwards (probably for stealth). I’m pretty sure that variant has even more internal changes.

Central lifting body layout? And the very effective side strip wing design? The flanker series has very good maneuverability at subsonic speeds, but the airplane is very large and falls into a "trap" at supersonic speeds. The Flanker has poor roll performance and the airframe structure is not strong enough. The latest su35s and j16 got rid of it by changing materials and redesigning the aircraft.

[@maximme]

SU-27 components were found to be inconsistent from batch to batch, so much so that they had to make it themselves just to get consistency. By then, they found they have LOT OF ROOM to improve....just by getting the base line consistent. ( a few thing they can now tune ) Electronics from China were already ahead of Russia, hence changing to better radar is a given. I wonder if Russia bought the J11 AND THEN REVERSE engineered it,....would Russian industry also improved ??

[@douginorlando6260]

Chinese military exports are ramping up fast. Watch for when China exports military drone swarm systems. Look at DJI’s $14,000 M30K drone including excellent optics, night vision, precision lat long target mapping, Laser range finding and laser designator. Now add multiple specialized drones including snipers, shaped charge guided munition release and suicide drones with coordinated operations quickly dominating many square km in 1 predawn hour. For the price Germany is paying for one F35 ($240 million each when including everything but consumables and future upgrades), China will be able to offer 17,000 militarized drones comparable to the M30K.

[@chrisdoulou8149]

Is this based on any data or just your opinion that China can’t produce anything of quality… even though most of the electronics in your house and car are built there. Find a close up pic of a Russian SU-27 and a Chinese J-11 as well as a U.S. F-15 and compare the build quality and finish of the three. The Chinese and US birds look high quality, the Russian one looks like it was built by drunk illiterate peasants.

[@simonyip5978]

Is your opinion of the Chinese quality control, based on recent experience in the Chinese aviation industrial facilities? Or is it just based on obsolete information or assumptions?

[@vladimiryezhov3521]

To be honest I think this is an upgrade project for J11B rather than a new plane. I hardly see the need of a new flanker variant in the Chinese Air Force.

[@xyz-hj6ul]

Drabble. The J-11D is a dead program with 1-2 jets converted as prototypes for a failed new-production upgrade (similar to the Su-35) centered around a lightweight, composite, airframe which never passed the Chinese defense ministry cost:benefits analysis. The jet was to be an 'ultimate evolution' response to beat the Golden Eagle F-15C but with the demise of that program, the emphasis has instead shifted to a much lower standard MLU known as J-11BG, as China is leaving the Flanker series itself in the rear view mirror, intending to use them as cheap, on-hand, fill aircraft in hastening the replacement of J-7 and J-8 interceptors with a standardized (maintenance and training) followon reserve fighter, while they shift their own, primary production, effort to home-grown, Gen-5, designs. The J-11BG will probably have an AESA at some point, however; based on the pitot radome, it is presently still a Zhuk derived mechanical array driven primary sensor airframe. This, by itself, makes it non-competitive in a stealth driven threat scenario of area defense against B-2/B-21/F-35 strikes on deep infrastructure. It will have to be vectored by GCI as a supplement to long range HQ-9/S-400 SAMs. The J-16 is the F-15EX equivalent, right down to the MAWS/SAIRST chisel fairings on the forward fuselage with the emphasis shift being towards continued production of the J-10C for Cross Strait actions in the next 5 years, backed by a much larger fleet (current estimates, 300+) of J-20 for the high end as a strike platform to destroy Taiwanese IADS/ADGE elements in the opening rounds of a massive DEAD effort to allow for followon precision OBAS by conventional fighters, in support of airlanded troops. These then seizing an SPOD to enable rapid invasion reinforcement without populating an invasion anchorage or crossing a white water threshold to push Chinese Marines ashore. It (J-20) may also act as an ASST scout for the carrier response. Targeting long range anti-ship missiles from subs and ships as well as aircraft. The Flanker has limited utility as survivability in either role and the PLAN/PLAAF know it. J-11D had a Type 1245 integrated AESA with sidelooking arrays in a resculpted nose with electronically fenestrated, sealed, integral radome. It had a WS-10C derived engines with WS-15 technology from the J-20. It had an enlarged, dual-band, SFPA, IRST, atop a larger fuselage fairing (better cryo-cooler). It was to integrate PL-15 and PL-10 from the start with options for PL-xx and PL-21. It had an entirely new RFS suite, similar to that of the ALQ-250 EPAWSS. All of which has basically been transitioned to the J-16 with it's much simpler (Type 1248 with repositioner) radome and more general, multirole/escort jammer (J-16D) mission in support of H-6 bombers bringing long range YJ-12 or even DF-17 air launch BASM to kill carriers in the SCS and maybe even Yokosuka. The J-11D could not do that because it doesn't have the second seat to run the systems. The J-16 on the other hand _can_ do the J-11D's missileer/Anti-AWACS mission (PL-XX is 21ft long), at range, because it already has an AAR probe. If you are going to sell unique SME insight, then at least offer new information and correct details. Selling the 'Ultimate Flanker is Chinese' as a title with a thumbnail picture of a J-11D and then providing only a generic rundown of _other_ types in PLAAF service is literal Wiki Wanking bait and switch, not informative.

What is the difference between the j-11D vs the j-16

[@holystatic]

J-11D is EW variant of J-11 while J-16 is multi-role developed with knowledge gained from production of J-11 and join development of SU-30MKK. There also J-16D which is EW variant of J-16.

[@k.k.c8670]

@@holystatic is the su30mkk, just like the j16, mostly a strike fighter (air to ground) primarily though while the j11B/D is more air superiority?

[@holystatic]

​@@k.k.c8670 Yes, SU-30MKK were developed with intention to perform strike mission. Anyway, while J-16 are capable as both A2A and A2G, their roles in PLAAF right now are mainly air superiority that working together with J-20 (Think of it as missile truck like F-15EX). J-11B are mainly air superiority with some of them upgraded with AESA rader (BG variant) Basically, PLAAF follow some of USAF playbook. F-15C as dedicated A2A, F-15EX as missile truck to support F-35A.

@@holystatic I actually think the J-11D is not the EW variant of J-11, as EW needs to be twin seat while J-11D is single seat. It’s prob an air superiority variant, like the Su-35, but it was dropped in favor of J-20 and the older J-11B were upgraded to bring some specs to the J-11D instead. Now newer J-15 will be built using part of the J-11D technology.
