Note: Both variants of these aircraft were built (imagined) to meet specific requirements and as such do not match their real-life counterparts. Hence why they are both faster and more advanced and yes, in this alternate world Russia supplied the necessary internal components to allow both this J16e variant and the Su-57e variant to have the same/similar internal systems. This maximized their capabilities when fighting together and gave the J-16 stealth capabilities despite it not being optimized to prioritize stealth.
Also Note: Under normal circumstances, both variants can only travel for a maximum of 4500 (2796 miles) - 5000 km (3107 miles). However, in Azur Lane's world, both aircraft have a maximum distance (with outboard fuel tanks) of 10,000 km (6214 miles).
