    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    Obviously the very long range AAM is too big to fit into J-20's weapon bay. The most possible use of it is firstly locate an AWACS, Tanker or something alike by satellite, stealth UAV or J-20 and then launch such a missile from a J-16 fighter-bomber.

    New LKF601E Air Cooling Airborne AESA radar for all JF-17 Block I and II

    To be honest, I am pretty intrigued to see if JF-17 Block III is a semi stealth fighter. The nose shape of KLJ-7A with 2 side array panels displayed on Zhuhai 2018 raises my speculation. I have been hoping it to be a V-tail, no horizontal stabilizer, lift body fuselage and carrying limited...

    New LKF601E Air Cooling Airborne AESA radar for all JF-17 Block I and II

    Bigger than the one on Rafael. Interestingly JF-17 also has a bigger nose.

    Zhuhai 2018

    So you mean you have no visual evidence to show F-35 can dog fight as its performance is restricted in airshows while I can prove J-20 is a good dog fighter as many clips show that it can sustain high energy and even actively supplement energy in various maneuvers? F-35 relies on a climb every...

    New LKF601E Air Cooling Airborne AESA radar for all JF-17 Block I and II

    One interesting difference between LKF601E and KLJ-7A is that the number of TR modules. LKF601E has 864 TR modules while KLJ-7A claims to have slightly more than one thousand. So there should be some spec difference which was not published on the air show. I think LKF601E could be chosen to...

    New LKF601E Air Cooling Airborne AESA radar for all JF-17 Block I and II

    The following AVIC promotional video says that the trial tests and evaluation were done by "foreign air force". Obviously only PAF has such access. Please notice in the video, there is not only CG but also clips captured with real people showing the radar fitting on a JF-17.

    Zhuhai 2018

    I did checked that video long time ago. Half empty F-35 relied on a climb every time before performing a combination of maneuvers, a good sign of terrible energy bleeding no matter how good AoA capability it can have. In a dog fight, F-35 is a good target. On contrast in various video clips and...

    Zhuhai 2018

    Even if there were no restrictions, those fancy tight turns would not make much sense for a high-speed, stealth fighter (I am excluding F-35 here as it is pretty sluggish and shows energy bleeding in maneuvers from time to time). Before I saw the J-20 display in Airshow Zhuhai 2018, I had been...
