i think 120D and pl12a have kinda made it clear we need more seeker and datalink updates for these
I did some research and made some calculations about the WS-10 series, and i wanted to know about the WS-10B, the thing is that if the engine T/W Wet is 8.8 the WS-10B should be weighting something like 1534 kg if we consider the actual Thrust of the engine, if we consider the 135 kn (13.765 kgf of thrust) the engine should weight 1568 kg… the thing is that gaijin take the 1795 kg of weight from the first model of the WS-10, the basic one, not even the WS-10A, the original WS-10 was more like a copy paste from the AL-31 but heavier probably because they were just starting to manufacture their own engines at that time… i wanted to talk about the internal fuel of the J-10C because it should carry 300 kg more of internal fuel than the J-10A… because when they replaced the old air inlet with the new one in the J-10B (DSI Intake), they reduced 300 kg and those 300 kg became internal fuel depending on what comes to research…

I can state quite clearly that the maximum afterburner thrust of the WS-10B (1) is approximately 144 kN, with military thrust rated at 92 kN. As for weight, it is generally believed that the WS-10B has a thrust-to-weight ratio of 8 to 8.2 under the GJB standard. When converted to the Russian standard currently used by Gaijin, this does not result in any significant weight increase over the AL-31F. (Under the GJB standard, the AL-31F has a thrust-to-weight ratio of approximately 6.95.)

after all, they are almost same sized engine, wont be so much weight difference
I have found information on China’s DIRCM system for fighter jets, with the source likely being the 2021 Zhuhai Airshow.
The exhibition booth displayed an Integrated Electro-Optical Warning and Laser Countermeasure System, a new HUD, and the Yings 390electro-optical pod.
The DIRCM was exhibited as a physical component. In the CG video, the carrier aircraft was a J-15, with the DIRCM installed on both the upper and lower sections of the airframe,is similar to that of the Su-57’s DIRCM. I believe it should provide full 360-degree coverage.

Question is do we have those on j-10?
not sure
This most likely just a show of of what could as if something like LDIRCM was mounted we would have already seen it somewhere, out best bet for LDIRCM is the YINGS-III TGP (tho that has been denied already)
Remind this “bug reporting manager 1” about the mig21pfm and how they denied r60s for it because “it didnt use them in soviet service”
Istg they change their agenda every fortnight. Top tier premiums, ultimate versions of a vehicle being premium and now this trash

bug reporting manager 1 can be anyone, its just given to the first bug report manager that replies to the issue, its not the same person every time

Where are the RWR sensors located on the J-10A?
Spoiler
The KJ8602 sensors are similar to the L-150 sensors, I see two of them on the wing
Spoiler
But I can’t find 2 more sensors either on the model in the game or in the photos of the planes
I can only assume that one of these sensors is related to the RWR
