It really looks like PL-11, could however be just another photoshop, who knows.

Yeah it really does! But, why Photoshop that on an obscure image?
I don’t know. I’ve seen quite a few photoshops of the J-10 with some weird choices (best example being PL-12s on almost every Pylon).

Yeah fair enough in that regard. If this is real however, that’s actually really big for the J10 base model
Hmm, maybe its not photoshop, used multiple scanners.
Actually, cut that. Its most likely a mock-up. The “real” J-10 with number 10132 is a J-10S.

First time I meet navigation pod for J-10
Chinese navigation pod equivalent AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod and AN/AAQ-20 Pathfinder ? 🤔
While we’re at it, do we have the specs on the pl11’s that the j10 carried? I’m assuming they’re not just the base model ones, like they’re the later upgraded ones or something but I don’t really know anything about it.
PL-11A, PL-11B potentially but 11B never entered service.
this pod will allow us to use the YJ-91 air-to-ground and YJ-83 anti-ship missiles??? I also hope that the KD-88 will be in this update
I know what they’re called but what’s the difference between them
That’s not PL11, it’s double rack PL12.
This image is a full-size model of J10 from Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute, which is a real aircraft model modified from a retired J10.
Is it a mock up or one of the early models?
What’s that goofy pod
I hope so, China lacks 12.7 CAS, it means missiles with ir seekers, and KD-88 is a suitable choice
12.7 CAS with no guided bomb J11A is a joke, why is it even there, it should be 12.0.
I mean the jh7a is an excellent cas and cap plane.

it’s for 11.7, with laser guided bomb and TV seek missiles, it’s range is shorter. the difference is like su-25t and su-25sm3
It could have as much or as little range as gaijin wants it to have. Could have more.

range mostly influenced by seeker, and gaijin deliberately make them similar. early tv seeker can only lock vehicle about 3km away, late tv seeker is about 6km, ir seeker is about 13km, ground lock could be different but not quite useful in battle.
so, in this situation, the maxium range in data card is just a number. for kd-88, which can fly 180km, but in game, you can only lock a vehicle 13km away, and lock the ground in about 20km, no difference from agm-65d/g or kh-38mt.
