When the song is chosen and played by an American citizen, how does that equate to the visiting Chinese delegation antagonising their hosts?

LOL. I would like to see an Indian plane or warship try to attempt to get within 290 km of a carrier to launch BrahMos. Somehow, I don't think that's gonna happen.

A tank with an EM Railgun? - That's more like Metal Gear.

J-11A is not J-11B or J-15. I would imagine the results would be very different if it was against J-11B. The last time a flanker airframe (MKI) went up against a delta-canard (EF Typhoon) IRRC it resulted in the typhoon pilots candidly admitting that the MKI had superior manoeuverability...

Stealth is not a requirement for "multirole". Neither is thrust vectoring - in any case, should J-15 require thrust vectoring engine there's no reason why it can't have them. J-10B is not even officially in service and you claim it is proven, whereas J-11B has entered service and so is...

This drill was probably an exceptional case where the media was invited. It was probably to increase public confidence after the J-20 flight.

Part of being a soldier means that you should be able to endure more than the average person can take. If these guys can't take a little discomfort like a pin prick or back straightening, then what they gonna do when the real bullets start flying?!

Dry thrust of Al-31F and WS-10A is still higher than dry thrust of F414. 62.3 kN F414 74.5 kN AL-31F 89.2 kN WS-10A Use of composites will help keep weight down. Besides, J-10C would also need similar modifications that would increase its weight. How about this vid. J-11B doing...

A simple check will tell you that the first part of your statement is wrong. 97.9kN thrust for F414-GE-400 122 kN thrust for AL-31F 132 kN thrust for WS-10A. And without knowing the actual weight of J-15, you can't really say anything about J-15 T/W ratio. However Wiki states that...

J-15 had it's first flight nearly a year and a half ago. Most of it's systems have already been developed and tested - on the J-11B.

External loads can be changed. Air-to-air weapons are lighter than strike weapons no? Why wouldn't WS-10B/G engines be used once matured? Flankers are also specialised for manoeuverability. Super Hornet might be lighter, but the engines are weaker too; 97.9 kN (compared to 132kN of...

J-11A is lighter, has higher max speed and higher climb rate. J-11B is even lighter, and using WS-10A engines give it improved thrust. MKI has greater load, but usually more weight = less manoeuverability. MKI compensates for this extra weight by having more powerful engines, TVC and...

I'm more inclined to believe the deputy commander of the PLAAF when he says that J-XX will enter service between 2017-2019 rather than some analyst whose opinions are based on hearsay, rumors, and assumptions. Remember, the same PLAAF guy also went on record to say that a prototype would be...

Does he not realise how ironic his own last statement is because the F-22 was also designed in the late 80's. :hitwall:

Most favourable conditions? - Not entirely true I'm afraid. Look back to post #163. Different manufacturers use different conditions to test their products. According to the article: For SD-10A it wasAlt: 10,000m, Speed: Mach 1.2 For R-77 it wasAlt: 20,000m, Speed: Mach 1.5 If...

A combination of joint development, tech transfer and further R&D. PL-12 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think SD-10C will be up to 100km I think SD-10D will be ramjet powered and be 100+km.

It's already been shown by others that J-20 is about 19-20 meters long - even less if you consider that the sweep of the tail adds on about a meter or so. This is roughly same length as PAK-FA and F-22. Please keep up :D

Flanker/Flanking/Flanked is a battle term meaning a non-frontal attack i.e. going around to attack from the side or the rear. Fagot is a English slang term for a male homosexual.

This is not the finished product. The finished product won't be using the engines you see in the pics, it will be using WS-15 engines and will probably have stealthier exhausts.
