Visual aid you say?
That's a seam left over from the fabrication of the nose cone! If you don't know something, don't pretend you know.
The same seam can be found on J-15:

Actually these are "Lightning Diverter Strips"
"
These strips are comprised of reliable metal bars or several closely spaced buttons of conductive material attached to a plastic strip that is glued to the radome. In several ways, diverter strips act similar to a lightning rod on a skyscraper.
In addition to diverter strips, the fuselage of most commercial aircraft are built to withstand a lightning strike. Incidentally, pilots are instructed to avoid electrical storms wherever possible."
"Also, lightning diverter strips extending from the front of the radome are designed to continuously gather static build-up from the exterior of the radome and pass it harmlessly to the airframe. Lightning diverter strips are also, as the name indicates, designed to protect a radome from lightning strikes."

indeed a beautiful sight to behold.
what is that small bomb thingy at the lower right hand corner of the photo?
Scroll up…
0724, Wow, quite few numbers of J-16's. If a lot has 30 planes, there are 210 J-16's. If the lot had 40 or more, 280 plus?More J-16 images taken by Russian photographers.

Kind enough to explain it to us? does it mean 7th batch of 24th plane?
Do we know how many planes per batch, on average?
