Good conversation
but allow me to ask,Su-30MMK armed only with Kh-31P anti-radar OK but YJ-91 also and only anti radar variant i think ?
A thing important, normaly anti-ships missiles equip mainly Naval Aviation fighters, in France and USA, it is or different for countries which don't have a Naval Aviation equiped with fighters a part have but in general small stocks.
And Su-30MK2 can be armed with Kh-31P and A anti-ship him, sea skimming, supersonic but have a enough small warhead 90 kg in more also YJ-91 which is better ( speed, more big warhead ) the 2 variants ?
How to visually recognize the 2 variants for the 2 missiles, possible ?

I am not sure whether Su-30MKK & Su-30MK2 can carry YJ-91 variants at all. Initially Anti-radiation YJ-91 was targeted at the JH-7A & J-8G and future J-16. Anti-ship YJ-91 can be carried by JH-7A and future J-15.
Can I spot the difference between the anti-radiation and anti-ship versions? Em, nope. My spotting skills are not that good

Looks like she's flying wit WS-10s, or is it my eyes playing tricks on me?Yes ... since it is a J-16 !!!!
Nope. All J-16s in service use WS-10s. Another distinct attribute is the absence of a nose pitot.
As a rule, up till now, all SAC built land based flankers since about 2009 are powered by WS-10s, and it doesn't seem like it is going to change.
That goes for J-11B/H, J-11BS/H, J-11D, J-16, J-16D.
except J-15s
I don't know why the testing of the J-16s has already taken such a long time. It is just a knockoff of Su-30MKK with more advanced radar and electronics. This is clearly a testing aircraft with no PLAAF serial number on the tail. Maybe my question should be why did the J-16 took much longer than the J-15s in R&D and fly testing, when both are copies of Su-30s and Su-33s?No black nose cone?
