J-11 is the Chinese copy of the Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker air-superiority fighter built by the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. Shenyang J-11 is a highly-manoeuvrable fighter aircraft capable of conducting air-superiority and ground attack missions.
Sukhoi and SAC signed a $2.5bn contract for the co-production of 200 Su-27SK fighters as the J-11 in February 1996. As part of this contract, Sukhoi was responsible for supplying components to assemble the aircraft at SAC
The first aircraft assembled in Shenyang was flight tested in December 1998. Full-scale production was delayed because of technical issues. About 100 aircraft were manufactured by 2003. Production ceased subsequently, as the basic J-11 variant did not meet the PLAAF requirements.
