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

[another505]

I know it is early to talk about it, but assuming we are at the point when J-35 are at hundreds, and 6th gen are at trial, would it be worthwhile to upgrade the J-16 and what would that upgrade be? I assume WS-10C would be very likely but would WS-15 be even possible?

Considering our neighbours aren't all flying 5th gen, I assume having a good 4.5th gen doing air patrol would be more economical and sufficient than a 5th gen especially because of the stealth coating, and still be a match for most fighters in the region.

Well … is this just Russian propaganda footage, AI-summarised BS and nothing special more? Or where is the relevant and interesting part? Otherwise it will be deleted as a stupid click-bait YT-video.
