Assuming it's not a model plane (though not exactly a logical place to place a model plane, especially since there's been no news of such mock up have surfaced in that airport), it might be an un-scheduled landing for the FC-31.

I love how your imagined number of escort ships keeps on increasing yet the number of FC-31 remains to be one, logic at its finest. 200km? You really loves throwing around random numbers huh? You just said "I am pretty sure it can find a FC-31 carrying two ASMs around 100 kms away." You can't...

Your ignorance continous to amuses me, I've already asked to to "think with a clear head", guess you are not capable of doing that. :crazy: Heck, let's even pretend that FC-31's RCS with 2 external ASMs is the same RCS as the non-stealth MQ-9 on that graph there. Now, draw a circle with its...

My points stand, Indian's carrier, especially Indian's CVBG is MUCH MUCH MUCH bigger of a target in terms of RCS compared to a stealth aircraft+2 external ASMs. You would need to rework your elementary math skill if you sincerely believe a non-stealth aircraft+2 external ASMs will pose the same...

To answer that, I would like to point out some necessary information regarding the official choice of PLAAF first: "The J-XX program was started in the late 1990s. A proposal from Chengdu Aerospace Corporation, designated Project 718, won the PLAAF endorsement following a 2008 competition...

Hmm, I know I'm not supposed to feed the trolls, but I can't help but be amused by your blatant show of blind confidence. This is not a thread for pathetic ego-boosting Indians to talk about how LCA Tejas can win out a match against J-20 (which I'm sure is the case in your delusions of...

Really now?8-) "A 2011 article in the United States Naval War College Review credited the "YJ-91/YJ-12" with a range of 400 km and a 205 kg high explosive warhead, compared to the 130 km (81 mi; 70 nmi) range of a Harpoon anti-ship missile. Furthermore, an aircraft could launch the...

Imagine an attack scenario on the Ins vikramaditya, PAF's FC-31 carries two C-802 externally, two BVR PL-12C internally and two WVR PL-10 internally (A VERY modest loadout for the FC-31). Even with a RCS of 3M squared due to the external ASMs (let's assume it's the non-stealth C-802), it will...

Interesting, this is the first time I've heard of such complication, do you have any source as to this information, sir? From what I know, JF-17/FC-1/Super-7 project never had a "J" series name , meaning it was never designed nor planned to be inducted as a fighter aircraft by the PLAAF...

The IR guided missiles you mentioned seems to include features that indicate sub-types of the PL-5. This official CATIC poster showcasing all the AA missile in service/development was made public in China 10 years ago, yet the sub-types of PL-5 (C/D) at the time were still shown to have the...

Given the clear presence of J-20's electro-optical distributed aperture system which provides the pilot with 360 degrees of battlefield awareness, it would be illogical for any J-20 prototype since 2011, as that's when its EODAS was installed and spotted, to not have HMS. HMS=the only known...

JF-17 #229 with new IFR probe in test flight @ CAC

Yes, some of the J-10B/C are equipped with Chinese WS-10A instead of AL-31. However due to the production rate of WS-10A (majority of WS-10A have been installed on the J-11 family, including J-11B, J-11D, J-16, J-15, etc) and the abundance of AL-31s already purchased from Russia, the majority of...

Seems to be very similar to one installed on the J-10B, CAC might have used the exact same model for both aircraft. And no, it does not seem to be MAWs, Another new pic of the new batch of JF-17, the new apparatus does not appear on the left side of the aircraft. J-10B also had something...

"中" is the abbreviated version of China (中国), just as how "巴“ is the abbreviated version of Pakistan (巴基斯坦）. You may think of it as how "Pak" is the abbreviated version of "Pakistan". :-)
