actually on further inspection the whole cockpit is just wrong
heres a j10a’s cockpit, it looks like the sight is the same
and more!
Probably the HMD would look the same as on the J-11, J-8F etc. no special HMD for China. Not like the 15C
im fairly certain the j10a and jh7a use the same hms. dont remember where i read that though. though it might be russian.
Yeah. Not sure for the JH-7 but I’m pretty sure the J-10B will be the plane with the Chinese made and developed HMD then a Soviet leftover.
Not to mention, we should have gotten the J-10A and PL-8B when the F-16C & SMT came out and have the J-10B come out now…
j10b has an aesa radar so it wouldnt come for a while, but i do agree that the j10 a should have come a while ago, or at least the j10(without the a)
also, gaijin when
J-10B uses pesa, actually. and the so called j-10 is same as J-10a, just pre production version, mostly same thing, but PL-12 isn’t ready that time so only pl-11
i thought the j10 went straight from mechanical to aesa? can you show me something on that? also as far as i can tell the j10 pre production one could only carry 4 missiles, two of them being pl11’s, so it would be a lot worse than the j10a with its 8 missiles. it also wasnt shaped right for the engine so it would have a lower top speed.
4 pl-11, the inner pylon could also carry, though not often.
J-10B’s radar, the row of antennas in the middle show it’s a pesa.
i swear chinese cameras are fucking horrible. did the early j10’s even have inner pylons?
the one usually with fuel tank. you can find image in early posy here
the army likes keep everything secret, this kind of pic is cutted from a large one, in corner and blurry, so they foeget to erase the detail
Most of these pictures are just screenshots of videos.
J-10C uses a AESA Radar not J-10B.
Any idea of specifications of J10B radar other than it being PESA? Like code name (e.g.1492) and capabilities.
I rembmer seen a pic, but couldn’t find it now
If you can find it, then gaijin can’t either.
Unkown. The early J-10 were also upgraded to the J-10A standard When the standard type J-10A began production.
If you are referring to the J-10(not A) produced from 1998~2003. Due to the fact that the PL-12 has not yet started mass production, even if there are internal hardpoint, it maybe only carry the PL-8s
I really can’t find the designation for the PESA radar. One source said it uses the KLJ-10 but that’s AESA which I believe is used on the J-10C so probably mixed them up
Most I saw that said anything about the 10B would be “unknown PESA radar designation” or just go straight saying it had an AESA radar. The 10B is somewhat of a confusing variant
I will make a very bold guess, could it be something like the PERO N001? Like the one with PESA antenna but can be fitted to an N001 with minor modifications. This would be like 1473 with PESA antenna, I made this since it took 8 years between J10 A and J10 B entering service, I think they probably would have met major difficulties with balancing PESA radar and development of radar itself as with all Chinese fighters the radar is finished after first flight. I mean China has just gone through 1493 in 2004 so it is unlikely that they had a solution so fast to PESA, and therefor this was the solution.
This is all complete guess and there is no source behind it.
I meant the pre production ones
