If J-20 carried large PL-17 or PL-21 externally under wing, the pylon will still increase J-20 RCS even after launching missiles. J-11B, J-16 will carry the long range missiles instead while J-20 provides tracking while staying off enemy radar.

Eh, that is Iran Persian, not Babylonian Iraq that in my previous comments. F35 network warfare is sure good and pretty sure US would have tested against their own ALQ-167/99 ECM. FC-31 still has satellite link and AWACS link, probably no radar sharing capability as in F-35 but still ok. All...

Things would be fun if China already have VSTOL fighters already in production to fill Type075 deck. That would put up stiff challenge to USS wasp with F-35B in South China Sea.

You heard @Deino no politics. Maybe FC-31 vs F-35C in air combat still relevant. PLAAF might build more J-20 rather than source for FC-31 for its inventory. With recent heightened tension, j-20 is higher priority for its range to take on enemy fighters and ships before they enter missiles...

J-35 is likely to be different aircraft navalized stealth fighter reserved for PLAN due to China's requirements for combat radius to counter US F/A-18E and F-35C. FC-31 is likely for export market to China close ally that is enemy of US such as Iran. If US sent in their F-35C and Iran send in...

Sure but if I win, I want you to stop banning people from posting things that are relevant example carrier topic and fighters that will be based there are still somewhat related. I was suspended just for asking you a question being struck off as violation

Why not we bet. If this is really land based FC-31 and Iran is somewhat related by year end, what are you going to say? You kept giving warning to ban me twice for comments related to topics. Your J-35 seems more irrelevant instead because Shenyang didn't mention officially compared to FC-31 and...

FC-31 land based testing resumes with go ahead project on a rush for Iranian Air Force. It's not the J-35 that you're hoping for. It's FC-31 land based air force variant for export to close allies only. Iran would keep this plane secret as they will be facing threat from US this year. You...

WS10H got tech from AL31F as well, they didn't add the quick afterburner for better reliability. Noted. "The J-15A with the AL-31F will be reserved for 16 & 17 only." >> I just figured out you're referring to type 001 & 002. The J15A will be upgraded to J15B when type 003 onwards entered...

Got it, 8x ATGM and 4x A-A is good for light attack helicopter especially when deployed in large numbers would swarm the enemy ground forces and helicopters.

Put aside countries without technology to reverse engineer. China has been designing their own chopper and aircraft such as Z-10, J10, J20. There's no reason why can't Z20 come up with entire own design at all. Unless they intend to sell this for infiltration purpose disguised as US Blackhawk to...

NATO countries often conducted research on US aircrafts they bought. French airbus definitely did reverse engineering on Boeing & MD in the past and present. They'll do the same on F-35 they are getting to replicate its stealth, avionics, powerful engines then come up with new Eurofighter...

This photo explains but 1 rack is empty. What type of anti-tank missile is this and what is the effective range?

AL31F has greater acceleration than WS10H? Thought WS10H is superior than AL31F in everything? "The J-15A with the AL-31F will be reserved for 16 & 17 only." What does 16 & 17 mean? Noted on the nuclear reactor, thanks for the info The energy power storage received electric supply from...

It is indeed, clearly stating reverse engineered & replicated Blackhawk with modifications made. They could have come up with different design when they could come up with the engine generating similar shp output. If Z20 was made 10 years ago, understood that they can't come up with own design...

Z19 could only carry maximum 4x anti-tank missiles based on specifications on max payload and photos from LKJ86. How about Z-10? Can it carry 16x anti-tank missiles equivalent to AGM-114 Hellfire like AH-1Z Viper? The last 2 photos, what armament being carried on Z-10 outer pylons? Mini...

It is based on feasibility and practicality basis. On mock deck, you could get all source of power adequate to power EMALS. But on carrier, it depends on capacity from reactor to generate enough energy to power the EMALS on its own. Sudden power drop/loss would lead to launch failure end up...

Good, post more J-11 armaments, best if you could post air to ground ordnance

I didn't say they have entered service neither. The engine choice is not decided.

Then why did you say J-11D doesn't exist earlier? Things haven't finalized if China decided to build J-11D or all old J-11A/B being overhauled, refitted with new AESA, other avionics, new WS10 engines +TVC being redesignated J-11D. WS10G with 35,000lb thrust exist?
