Chengdu J-10, History, Performance & Discussion

Seldom show off? They do military parades all the time with big lines of tanks and missile launchers and the like. Guess the Air Force doesn’t care though.

Gib J10B to makeup for the nightmare that is the J11A)))

J-10B would be 13.3 BR but gajin ready 2 or 3 years

There’s a possibility that this year gajin could add Chengdu J-10A

13.3? It’s got a pesa radar.

Obviously, the LS-6 diameter is much larger than PL-12.

At least there are no hardware restrictions, the ACMI pod needs to be connected to the 1553B bus via missile pylons.

And the valid source was verified by the administrator David_Bowie , the source shows that missiles can be mounted at six hardpoints on the wings.

Ya never know

I can’t read Chinese so it’s really hard for me to find a lot of this stuff. Thank you so much.

But planes on parades usually take no extrenal weapon :(
The publicize of PLA is much different from western countries, they don’t like to show new things and how much their weapon could do, as there’s a speaking: Confidentiality is about winning

why the pod only in side when carrying missiles

Well by the time they show something, it probably is already near service ready anyway, but the Zhuhai air show has given us a lot of info on these stuff.

Until November of this year!

Well, I am a big fan of the air show, last year they had an online platform for vehicles, so I hope they can do it again. I really want to go to the air show, but seems like the online thing was a bit chaotic and I would like to see all the live action as well.

I am patiently waiting for J10 variants to be added. As well as an FCK-1 and JF-17

I was really interested in the J10C with a vector thrust, it seems pretty cool and would be quite a fun addition.
I might be getting too far ahead into gen 4.5 but anyways.

It‘s J-10B in fact

Oh, I thought I saw a J10C with vector thrust. I thought I saw the extra stuff on the back. We could be talking about entirely different things, I’ll try and find the video I saw.

Hongdu L-15A limited 4th gen WVRAAM (PL-5E II & PL-9C), Ivchenko-Progress AI-222-25 engine but no afterburner

L-15B carry targeting pod and Air-to-Ground armament like L-15A but with PL-9C & PL-10E WVRAAM, X-band PESA radar, Ivchenko-Progress AI-222K-25F engine and armed SD-10A MRAAM

After F-16A MLU (first batch) is a F-CK-1A but before MLU upgrade
