Upgrade version of J-11B Fighter

*- J-11B have been upgraded with an indigenous datalink similar to American Link-16.

*- In January 2017 at least one J-11B was seen carrying the new PL-X ultra long-range AAM (range>300km) capable of attacking AWACS and tankers behind the enemy line.

*- Recent image (November 2017) indicated that some J-11Bs started to carry a KL700B ECM pod to further enhance its ECM capability.

*- The latest image (December 2017) suggested that the newly built J-11B has been upgraded with wingtip missile launch rails compatible with the new PL-10 IIR guided AAM replacing the old PL-8.
