    CV-18 Fujian - Type 003 Aircraft Carrier News & Discussions

    Do you think the powerplants & EMALS fittings take some time to install? Because the 2 large holes seems to be leading to the 2.

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    Combat drones remote controlled by RIO or automated AI? Does China have automated AI because it is still under development in US. Whereas all existing drones and UCAV are still Remotely Piloted Vehicles (RPV) from forward airbase. If the UCAV is RPV then the RIO could only pilot 1x UCAV. If...

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    Good, luckily just 1 fake photo. Nice to know that J-20B is real. It needs WS-15 engines.

    SAC FC-31 Stealth Fighter: News & Discussions

    Navalized FC-31 is definitely using WS-13E for the available engine slot being around the size of F/A-18C at 57ft in length. Without the sidebay, it probably carries only 4x air to air missiles internally like F-35C (not practical). Wonder if it comes with internal gun or no gun at all?

    SAC FC-31 Stealth Fighter: News & Discussions

    There is no official confirmation that navalized FC-31 would carry the designation J-31 or J-35. That's why I asked him to predict whether J-35 will be navalized FC-31 or another new fighter Binkov said the navalized FC-31 would sacrifice rear view visibility probably due to enlarged fuel tank...

    Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

    Bringing B-52 into this is totally irrelevant when the topic is on affordable medium fighter purchase competition where J-10C is competing against F-16V, Gripen, Mig-35. Missile probability of kill against 4.5th generation fighter is around 50-60%, even lower with ECM on. If you're in J-10C...

    SAC FC-31 Stealth Fighter: News & Discussions

    The navalized variant of FC-31 might or might not be the new J-35 being just the testing test bed before designing the new J-35 prototype. If Type 003 EMALS could propel J-15B with maximum takeoff weight at 74,000lb, then J-35 could be made larger to have sidebays. If it's powered by WS13 or...

    Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

    F-35 is premium fighter with export variant reserved for US close allies only. India can't buy it unless entering alliance pact with US that India has to obey numbers of terms & conditions involving politics. EF2000 is nothing more than just an overpriced European fighter like Rafale bragging...

    Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

    Which variant is WS-10IPE engine? Is it fitted in any fighter or still under development? I was expecting you to pick Gripen like others believing in their paper sweet talk. You chose F-16V instead which is a good choice. Avionics in F-16V proven with practical payload arrangement allowing it...

    SAC FC-31 Stealth Fighter: News & Discussions

    You deserved the praises. However, it is not confirmed whether this will be the J-35 or just testbed for Type 003 carrier CATOBAR and landing before designing the J-35

    It sure looks like bad editing job done with the uneven curve line. If this is fake, many being fooled into posting this on youtube. Heavier 2 seater variant will likely fly only after WS-15 enter production.

    Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

    What confirmed so far are Russian AL-41 and Izdeliye engines are their benchmark engines. China purchased the Su-35 in order to perfect the WS-10B to WS-10C. WS-15 would take technology from AL-41 hopefully able to perfect it. So far no request on acquiring Russian Izdeliye 40,000lb thrust...

    Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

    He didn't say Russian engines are better neither. WS-10B/C are indeed better than AL-31 at the moment. Now that there's new fighter procurement project in few countries for budget under US$80million, few fighters have been shortlisted = J-10C vs Gripen vs F-16V. In terms of maneuverability...

    You need to fix english comprehension, you got Ali Baba wrong. From his post, Ali Baba said Russian engine not good, he never said good at all. Ali Baba said China engine better. 他说俄罗斯的飞机机器不好。他完全没有说俄罗斯机器好。再看他写了什么。 I have explained to him in Chinese.

    What does that got to do with the Hong Kong narrator's comment in the video? You don't need to study aeronautics just to repeat what the uncle said. You need either cantonese speaking skills or Chinese characters reading skills.

    Z-20 Utility Helicopter News & Discussions

    Inflight refuelling probe? With high shp engines being more powerful than attack helicopter, guess they'll make Z-20 part time attack helicopter while deploying troops to frontline.

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    There's no English subs. The Hong Kong uncle said the J-10B with TVC could perform most of the F-22's moves but not the powerful vertical climb. The J-20A with WS-10C could perform some tight banks maneuver, vertical climb but without TVC & more thrust, it just can't compete against F-22. The...

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    Quoting you to check this comparison video done by Hong Kong uncle. Just take the J-20A vs F-22A without engaging TVC. What's your opinion in this after watching the video? I want to compare your review to the uncle's statement 🙂

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    Binkov came up with Armenia vs Azerbaijan war about 1-2 years before the Karabakh war. Binkov's prediction is more of computer strategy game level which turned out far from accurate. He always left out combat skills and technology in his analysis. The Karabakh war turns out differently...

    Good one, that's the spirit. Replying in forum is just like debating in court where the evil lawyer will always try to make you angry so that you'll lose control and say the wrong thing. Just stay rational and reply facts. Thanks for the info, guess DCS should really add this 86 degree blackout...
