China Flanker Thread II

Now that several SU-35's has been shot down over Ukraine. The Americans and her allies now get to study the fighter jet and her subsystems up close.

Well, we only know about one single plane, and while it indeed survived the crash a bit too good for comfort, it is still a wreck from the perspective of subsystems.

Most shot down Flankers were Su-34s.

Yes, you can tell by the EW pods on the wingtips

Just a cool image of a J-16.

How many AESA Radar warplanes does China have available? As far as I know, J-20/16/10Cs have it.

Surely new block J-15s use AESA since these fighters are newer than J-10C, J-16, and J-20. Since they're not phasing out J-15 with introduction of J-35, and if anything J-16D and J-15D have their own place in orbat. Can soon add J-35 to the list. J-10B could have been AESA but there's only a few dozen of that block and hundreds of J-10C.

Overall it would be over 500 fighters (4th and 5th gen) with AESA depending how many J-20s there actually are. I am assuming around 100 J-20s and that's a conservative estimate by a long shot. This doesn't count J-35 assuming none in service or any new J-15 with AESA, and not counting J-16D or J-11BG which we know are in service with modernising to an AESA radar. There would be handful to dozens of these J-11BG with AESA.
