Chengdu J-10, History, Performance & Discussion

Regarding this, I am seeing if I can see the actual paper for myself, cause it might mention something there. I agree with scientific papers it is vague, but roughly just about everything else is classified. If we can see from somewhere, (anywhere) in the paper that something matches on to known stuff, then we might just be able to use it.

PLAAF is really bad at PR, ngl
As CW Lemoine said none of the displays match up with what actually happens, might be because for OPSEC or for casual audience viewing

Granted this is an old video

Also some details on the J-10C

Top left you can see the difference in cockpit, J-10B has 3 MFDs while J-10C has a single large display with a smaller one below it

J-16 and J-20 use a similar layout

Top right it states WS-10B is rated for 14 tons of thrust

Watch them adding J-15 and Liaoning to justify it existance

I want J-15, but the inital variant isn’t very good
J-15T is a monster though, it’s probably even better than the J-16 in A2A

J-10B radar maybe

J-10B’s radar

Also, this is supposedly what the radar on the J-10C looks like

It’s definitely a different radar, it doesn’t have the IFF interrogators like on the radar of the J-10B.

Congrats 🎉

But in fact PL-8B to replace PL-5E II if PL-8 stock

PL-8B instead PL-5B on J-8F, my guess
