That’s only spotted on a modified J10B which has modified avionics. It proves to be possible but no more than that, this is the 003 aircraft carrier J15 I believe which has reinforced landing gear to allow catapult takeoff.
Well if China gave up the entire idea of dogfighting like J20 doesn’t even have a gun then thrust vectoring will have marginal use anyways.
TL;DR (just 2D TVC)
- IR signature reduction
- Stealth (maneuvering without using control surfaces)
- Engine TBO
- Thrust
(+ as in helps and - as the negative)
JL-10G is phased array right?
no gunpod?
Should be able to carry them on external ones, but they’ve mostly carried fuel tanks and I don’t see the point if you can carry 4 if not more PL15s.
It is still somewhere in the 沈飞museum thing, but not very clear as in what upgrades were taken.
the link above goes pretty detailed into what was done to it.
probbaly can be added
I’ve heard but still tertiary source, and it wasn’t complete before the honey moon ended.
Is this a IR seeker in the nose section?
Could be an IR seeker although LS series had generally been LGBs.
This bomb is probably similar to this japanese bomb
Which LS series bomb had laser guidance?
J8F cockpit in general is wrong it has extra MFDs anyways, but it could very well be in nautical miles and feet.
J8F 的座舱整体错误,但是这些数字应该是海里和英尺。
