China J-16D electronic warfare fighters approach Taiwan, can jam Taiwanese radar and communications

China's J-16D electronic warfare fighter has entered Taiwan's so-called Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) for the first time.
On 24 Jan 2022, Taiwan medias report that for the first time this new large size fighter participate the flight mission.
On 24th, China sent 13 aircrafts, J-16D is the latest fighter joining the mission for the first time.
The J-16D can disable enemy radar and communication equipment, it carries YJ-91 and YJ-83 air-to-surface missiles.
This advanced fighter officially made its public debut at Zhuhai Air Show in South China in October 2021.
J-16D is based on J-16 fighter bomber. J-16D is claimed to be "capable of reconnaissance, attack and escort".
J-16D has two electronics pods on wing tips, similar to EA-18G. This also clearly distinguish J-16D from J-16 and J-11.
J-16D can carry YJ-91 anti-radar missile, and YJ-83 anti-ship missile, PL-10 and PL-15 air-to-air missiles, and guided bombs.
It has been participating combat training with J-20 and other fighters, now it is involved in Taiwan related missions.
This is the second time Taiwan authority confirmed a new type of mainland fighter approaching the island.
In Dec 2021, Y-20U aerial refueling aircraft joined a fleet of fighters and bombers, flew into the "identification zone".
Previously electronic warfare aircrafts entered the Taiwan ADIZ don't directly participate in combat missions.
have mainly been used to disable enemy radar. The J-16D is more capable of destroying radar with missiles. Taiwan will face greater threats."
It is believed that J-16 and J-16D will closely work with J-20 stealth fighter, helping J-20 to remain in radio silent status. And J-16 and J-16D two-member crew might have some advantage in dog fight, even though this is not its major role.
J-16D represents new thinking of Chinese Air Force: Integrating various military aircrafts into a combine force. This aerial combine force might be a key factor in the possible Taiwan straight air an sea conflicts.

Majority of Taiwanese see themselves as one and same people in as those on the mainland. Tsai, sees herself as a bit of Japanese and bit of American white. Is she fit to rule?

[philiptan]

China can just go in and out of Taiwan ‘s airspace without the Taiwanese airforce being aware of it. Even if they know it, Taiwan has only old junks of the F16s from the usa which are no match for the Chinese Air Force anyway. The reunification clock is ticking harder, the time has almost come.

There is no such thing as ADIZ if you’re not able to defend it.

When actual war coming to Taiwan, nobody are going to fight. Many of the Taiwan General will raise a white flag of surrender. Beijing will definitively have problems with them because, most of them want to keep their post or position to retain the pay. Some thing Beijing must do it. All the civil services want their pay none stop. Polices, social workers, street cleaners, mail, want to keep their job as it was. Company will operate none stop, too. The winner of true Taiwans will be those who break the Taiwan central bank and flee with all foreign currency reserves put in to a jumbo jet and go to resettle in others country and be very rich forever. Hahahaha

If the jammer is that good, why not every jet equipped with that.
