Funny anecdote. OP asked a PLAAF official present where are the J-16s and he tried to fool her by pointing to a J-11BS. Then she said but this one has pitot tube and the official was stunned and exclaimed: yikes you even knew this little detail?

Sorry for posting only links, but I'm a bit in a hurry! ... but I'm surprised!
Does that mean there are fresh J-11BGs rolling straight out of Shenyang after the J-11B production (and related variants before AESA upgrade) concluded in mid or late-2010s?
In the meantime, aren't all the land-based Sino Flankers in production right now being only J-16s?

Which one? IMO cn. 0801 for the J-11BG is real and the Su-27UBK is not psed, but simply spayed over since the aircraft is now retired.
Does that mean there are fresh J-11BGs rolling from assembly line after the J-11B production stopped in mid 2010's ?
Up close and personal with J-11BG at Changchun Airshow.
