yes that’s it the WS 10 takes the design technology of the F110 unfortunately I have not found an “official” source talking about this, but all the blogs, forums and websites confirm it in their own way, the WS 13 is a national RD 93 (the RD 33 and RD 93 are identical the only difference is that the manual gearbox is at the bottom for the RD 93 and at the top for the RD 33).
from memory but I could be wrong the RD 93 is taken from the RD 33 Series 2, which has been patterned and optimized
Does anyone have information on the J-11Bs usage of targeting pods throughout its service history? I do believe the KH-29TE could be equipped on them, but the usage of a targeting pod? I’m not quite so sure
It’s good at 13.7, better than J-10A at BVR because of its acceleration at high altitude and better radar. Though the radar modes at the moment are placeholder.
Thanks to other peoples support, I’ve identified that the Su-35 that China has is technically a Su-35S, however it’s just named Su-35 Flanker-M. I assume articles and whatnot just put the S to it as it can be easily mistaken due to the 35S also having the same designation. However the Chinese Su-35 Flanker-M and Su-35S do have some very small differences, mainly from what I’ve seen, the antenna for navigation is missing (which can be seen on the tail above the horizontal stab)
Tldr: The Chinese Su-35 is pretty much an S variant, but its just not called like that, yet keeps the Flanker-M designation. Why? Idk
And Su-35S is pretty much Su-35 as well Su-30SME is pretty much Su-30SM, what’s point? Just overall same planes, one of which uses same stuff but “export” with possible downgrades.
