I'm sure this is just another example of lazy journalism, but the picture clearly shows a Russian AWACS.

I have a theory, that FC-20 is in fact the J-20. Superficially, they all have the number 20 in their designations, which might indicate some kind of connection. Logically, assuming the rumours that J-10B is used as a testbed for many 5th gen. technologies is true, then J-10B technology is...

I'd say not yet, but we will by the time they're done with the prototypes.

I have a class-mate who came here when Yugoslave was still intact. I guess then he can rightfully say that he came from Yugoslavia or something in that line, too lazy to check.

Arrest and execute the author, effective immeditately! I hope this is just fanboyism.

Have you ever consider the possibility that the vertical stabiliser is not in its neutral position and that it's turned away from us thus showing more of its side to us. This would also explain the gap between the bottom front of the stabiliser and its base.

I saw this movie in the cinema. The missile used to kill the F-18 looked like PL-12. Though using gun then missiles seems stupid.

Type-99 doesn't use ERA, at least not on the turret. What's on the glacis is debatable.

Mmmm, I think so, too. I think I'll take it from behind.

They can still test the prototypes with a weaker engine.

Janes reported that China funded and participated in the development of the S-400 system.

What's the usual trade-off ratio between modern MBT and moder ATGM?

It's called the High New series. It's a literal translation, so it doesn't make too much sense in english.

The missile isn't AR-1 or something. It's the HJ-10 heavy ATGM made for gunships, like Hellfire.

Poor engineers perished for this system to take to the sky.

1. Radar, China is ahead of the so-called medium state. An AESA is likely being tested on J-10B. 2. 3D TVC, China had been testing a TVC WS-10 variant during Jiang Zeming's reign. Supercruise is not a critical parameter and is only included in the criteria of a 5th generation fighter as a...

No, there is more to worry about than just costs. Industrial espionage is a must for every industrialising country. It's foolish to think that the Indians won't do the same. Especially with their resentment and jealousy towards China.

IIRC, Brahmos can't fly its full 280km range if flying sea-skimming all the way. And I'm under the impression that the 180km range quoted for C-802A is the sea-skimming range.

I read the time. At the time, the fleet with WS-10 was grounded. But, now we have photographic evidence of J-11B flying with WS-10A.

You have to read this one more carefully. It says "WS-10", the older version of the engine. This lineage's later evolution is the WS-10A that is now being installed on J-11B.
