The J-16 is a tandem-seat, twinjet, all-weather, multirole strike fighter designed and manufactured by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, China. This is a multi-role highly maneuverable variant based on the J-11BS with longer range and upgraded avionics, a concept equivalent to Sukhoi Su-30. The J-16 has a slightly different vertical stabilizer compared to J-11 fighter or J-15 naval fighter. It is also equipped with missile pylons for Chinese PL-10 air-to-air missiles, another difference compared to earlier J-11B variants.
According to media reports, China developed the J-16 fighter based on the Shenyang J-11BS airframe, with modifications from the Russian Sukhoi Su-30MKK that was sold to China in 2000.
The J-16 is able to carry a full range of indigenous Chinese equipment including super and subsonic anti-ship missiles, air to air missiles, satellite guided bombs, cruise missiles and electronic countermeasure (ECM) jammers. It has been speculated that the J-16's WS-10 engines lack sufficient power for the aircraft, given their design faults and the greater weight of the airframe compared to other Chinese Su-27 variants, and that an engine upgrade will be needed to allow the new plane to meet its design potential.
As of April 2014, the PLAAF has taken delivery of a regiment of J-16s.

The Shenyang J-16 is a modern Chinese jet-powered strike fighter. The flight of the prototype took place probably around 2010, and the production started in 2012 and is still going on. Probably about 50 or more than 50 aircraft of this type have been built to date. The plane is 21.9 meters long with a wingspan of 14.7 meters. The drive is provided by two WS-10A turbofan engines with an afterburner thrust of 135 kN each. The on-board armament consists of a 30 mm cannon. The machine can carry various types of missiles and bombs, e.g. PL-12 or PL-9, on the under-wing nodes.
The J-16 aircraft has been developed and is produced by the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. The machine was created as a far-reaching development of the J-11 aircraft and is a specific equivalent of the Russian Su-35 aircraft. The J-16 model was developed as a two-seat and multi-purpose machine, in which, however, a lot of emphasis was placed on the possibility of maneuvering air combat. Compared to the J-11, the J-16 fighter has a greater range and other electronic equipment. Interestingly, the J-16 can carry anti-ship missiles. Probably in 2015, a version of the aircraft intended for electronic warfare was also created - the J-16D.
