China Flanker Thread III (land based, exclude J-15)

[manqiangrexue]

A fully loaded Flanker can retain a big deal of agility, it was possible with early Flanker variants so it should be fairly trivial for more modern, lighter variants with more power available

I think I remember that more impressively, someone had once questioned the Flanker's maneuverability under load and the Sukhoi President ordered a Flanker to be loaded assymetrically with a heavy loadout on one wing and nothing on the other and it still preformed beautifully, without visible difference or strain from the clean configuration.

Interesting photo of a J-16 – serial number 78235, assigned to the 172nd Air Brigade of PLAAF Cangzhou Flight Training Base – with a Russian Kh-29T.
