I suspect we won’t get J-10A until we get J-11A. Wargames between the two aircraft revealed the J-10A having both a stronger BVR(better missiles and radar) and BFM(better sustained and instantaneous) capabilities. Plus war games against Gripen C/D showed J-11A was worse in BVR but better in BFM.

However in said BFM engagements the Chinese had far superior Short range missles which is also a factor.

Chinese were using PL-8B as the standard at the time. Honestly not sure how PL-8B performs as a missile as compared to R-73 but my understanding is J-10 pilots primarily succeeded most using hit-and-run tactics against J-11 with radar off, something like a 4:1 kill ratio at best.
PL-8B is much more advanced than R-73 and can only compete with R-73M

It wont be this update just to clarify. We are very much aware of people’s wishes for one and working hard on it. But its a somewhat complicated situation.

I wonder what the team will cook up when there’s no SAM system without an external radar (I think; someone correct me if you know about one).

Su-27 is a need. I need it for emotional reasons. I will not elaborate further.
