As a new type of fighter jet that has been in service since 2016, the J-16 was originally a specially developed model to replace the active J-H-7A "Flying Leopard" fighter-bomber. Although it is roughly the same in shape as the J-11B, the uses of the two are quite different. Although the J-16 has both air combat capabilities, ground and sea attacks are its main combat missions, and its positioning is similar to the American F-15EX known as the "bomb truck".
