The Shenyang J-16, also known as Qianlong (simplified Chinese: 潜龙; traditional Chinese: 潛龍; pinyin: Qián Lóng; lit. 'Hyphalosaurus or hidden dragon') is a Chinese all-weather 4.5 generation, [2] [3] tandem-seat, twin-engine, multirole strike fighter [4] [1] built by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and operated by the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).

For example: The F-16 Fighting Falcon's combat radius is 550 km (340 mi) on a hi-lo-hi mission with six 450 kg (1,000 lb) bombs.
