Danke. English speaking analyst & China folks said so based on feasibility and practicality factors. SAC is losing this project if they come up with navalized fighter with such short range and less payload that loses multirole capability. That left SAC only option is to enlarge the J35 to fit...

You know, when I went on board USS Theodore Roosevelt and spoken to some of the carrier crew there, most of them don't know much about aircraft and chopper. With the Z20 resemblance of Blackhawk/Seahawk, if a group of boarding team of Z20 carrying troops ready to seize US carrier when war broke...

Foreign military experts said most likely the J31, FC31 or J35 will be enlarged by SAC to fit the already proven WS10 engines that could share common parts with existing J10, J11, J15, J16. Due to large border and requirements for fast long range fighter bomber by PLAN carrier fleet, most likely...

VT4 is better newer bigger and packed more powerful engine than T90S ofcourse more expensive. J10 at the other hand is medium fighter whereas Su30M2 is heavy fighter, different category and pricing. Put aside overpriced expensive fighters such as EF2000, Rafale and F2 as these fighters meant to...

I am curious to know more on the larger blue arrow 12-21. Smaller ones are for helicopters equivalent to hellfire and shturm. The larger ones definitely for fighters. Need info on length, weight, range, guidance. So far, only US fighters carry multiple compact air to ground missiles that could...

Thanks for the info, I guess J15 roles for now is air to air and anti-ship.

J15 carries PL8, 12, 15, 21 air to air missiles. Guess no more r27 and r77 in PLAN inventory.

Old J8 or Jh7? Should phase out this obsolete plane long ago. Along with J7, these old fighters will be used as decoy in war to divert and create confusion to US when war happens. US won't know where to attack if flocks of these fighters flown in the sky at a time coming from multiple direction...

Deino, just ignore juj06750. Back to topic, this time on US ECM capabilities and how well could China AESA, radar guided missiles overcome this. It came on my mind when export variant E2C hawkeye up in the air with ECM on, at range about less than 10 miles, all communications, cellphones, GCI...

Anyone has info on Norinco blue arrow air to surface missile at 22:41? Seems like optical guided, mostly laser guided like Kh29.

This makes sense. It is no longer affordable to Iran if priced at US$40 million. How much do you think the J31 would cost?

With advances in anti-ship missiles technology having greater effective range and speed lately, there has been debate on US carrier fighters effective range & combat radius arose. F35C has the combat radius but slow while F/A18E/F poor aerodynamic giving it poor range and the plan for CFT is in...

For joint venture with procurement of assembly plant, J10CE, Mig35, Su30M2 being locally built is possible if purchased in bulk. The belt & road is good enough to maintain logistics direct from China & Russia without having to worry on US embargo naval blockade. Country that would attack Iran...

J10CE aka FC20 probably costs US$25 million per unit, could save cost on the domestic WS10 engine compared to having to buy AL31F engines from Russia in J10A. However, J10CE combat radius is suitable for defenses while Su30/35 are better for offensive roles. In terms of RCS and avionics...

J10CE is for export, he's happy on this probably.

J11D, i would put it somewhere having better AESA, avionics, RWR, displays, HUD, missile systems, fuel efficiency and combat radius than Su35. The Su35 excels in thrust to weight and acceleration with more powerful engines.

Thanks for your answers, it helps. Air to air: J10 only carries 6 air to air missiles despite being larger than F16? The F16C older variant with 27,000lb of max thrust could carry 8x air to air missiles. For air to ground, there's no compact missiles carried on racks? For Russian agm mostly...

I didn't say right or wrong, just amazed at how you decrypt the sketches. What do you think about J11D with WS10 TVC vs Su35 in terms of dogfight? The AL41 engines in Su35 has higher thrust but no improvement on top speed compared to Su30MK with TVC. J11D has better radad and engines than Su30MK...

What are the standard armaments for air to air, air to ground, CAS, Wild Weasel and anti-ship sorties? Max air to air payload for J10 is 2x PL9 and 4x PL12 or 6x PL12 & 2x PL9?

You just showed us how to encrypt/decrypt sketches. So is that J11D?
