recently, the us military watch magazine said that with the delivery of the 13th batch of j-16 fighter jets, china now has about 350 j-16 fighter jets, which is the world's largest fourth-generation and a half heavy fighter jet, far exceeding russia's su-35, su-30sm and the us f-15ex. however, perhaps due to the impact of the russia-ukraine conflict, the west does not seem to attach much importance to the performance of the j-16, and even believes that the j-16 has only 80% of the performance of the su-35.

western media quoted analysts as saying that when then-us house speaker pelosi visited taiwan on a special plane in 2022, china dispatched the su-35 to cross the median line of the taiwan strait instead of other domestically produced fighter jets. this shows that at the critical moment, the people's liberation army trusts russian fighter jets more, and the combat effectiveness of imitations such as the j-16 is at most 80% of that of the su-35. the united states is well aware of this and is not afraid of the j-16.

the su-35 is definitely an aircraft whose reputation in china has experienced ups and downs. in just a few years, chinese military fans have gone from salivating over it to sneering at it. after the outbreak of the russia-ukraine conflict, several su-35 fighters were shot down by ukraine, causing the su-35's reputation to plummet further. now the west is saying that the combat effectiveness of the j-16 is only 80% of that of the su-35, which is clearly implying that the j-16 is vulnerable in actual combat.
