dosent matter because the J-16 dosent use this radar

or any radar with side looking arrays

this is the KLJ-7A proposed to Jeff block 3 right?

a fun fact
The J-36 appears to be equipped with this type of radar.

If this photo is not AI-slop

yes

and there are some people convinced that the J-16 uses that radar for some reason

how about you be grateful that it’s 140° instead of 120°?

it isnt

there are alot of photos from different angles where you can see it

:( outperformed by 120A at low alt

(at higher alt it evens out more but 120D still wins)

yeah…sadly china has absurdly tight OPSEC that we don’t even know the names XD

unless someone finds something solid i really doubt gaijin will move from their decision chair, despite so many bug reports (some are genuinely trash) that got fended off

It’s impossible, a plane with three AESA looks like a plane with three AESA

even then the J-16 dosent have side looking arrays

becasue you would see that in the nose

like on the J-36 or Su-57

would be literally counter-productive to add a radar with window arrays but not giving it said windows to operate XD

Theres and accepted report about the broken PL-12 autopilot, it maxes at about 28-29Gs instead of the 38 on the statcard, so something might happen to the PL-12

neither J16 earlier batches nor the J16D so we can easily bar them out, yet some chinese bug reporters aren’t that eye-cunning to see it

yeah wont help with its energy state tho still a huge win if implemented

its more like they dont want to see it

becasue that means that the radar gimbal limits are correct

17700 is likely weight without pilots etc, 17900 is a good change, much better than the 18300, which would be fine if J15T wasnt 18430
