No, these are very, very old footage from either manufacterer‘s trials or CFTE Tests for these weapons. I know them since years.

Thanks, I was under impression that the photos are new.

If you like I can check when I‘m back home but I think they were posted around late 2018 around the Zhuhai Airshow

Now that’s something you don’t see everyday — J-11B with guided air to surface munition. I thought that they nerfed precision strikes to meet deadline? Did they patch this capability later on??

We've seen prototype/one-off J-11B airframes do testing for PGMs before so this isn't a huge surprise.

However it should remain the case that regular in service J-11Bs are not configured for strike/PGM capability

It's OK, don't trouble yourself. I will just take them as old photos.
