some are definitely RWR antennae
but which are the MAWS
do we take it to mean the J-8F has rear and front aspect MAWS?
and possibly below as well?

@David_Bowie
is there an internal report about the lack of MAWS on the J8F?

144

J-8F lacks MAWS // Gaijin.net // Issues

I’m pretty sure the maws is rear aspect only

147

going by the supposed sensors… imo its all aspect

148

Those are likely rwr antennas

149

too many for that lol

150

it is.
I mean that’s what thee original issue suggests.
I re-checked some of photos and didn’t find anything looks like a MAWS, could be a misunderstanding.
I remember some retired J-8F are exhibited to public, maybe someone can take some close photos
