70 ft (21 meters) is just a rough estimate from looking at photos so there is going to be a large margine of error. According to Wikipedia: A flanker is 73 ft (22 meters). PAK-FA is 66 ft (20 meters). Raptor is 62 ft (19 meters). So even if it is 70 ft (21 meters) long, that's still a...

I think the number of Flankers is closer to 400.

You seem to be confused, so let me help you out a little. J-11 is a licensed Su-27SK. J-11A has some upgrades over J-11 such as HMS, EFIS and radar improvements allowing multitarget engagement. I think this must be where you're getting confused. J-11B is not a J-11A with some minor...

Interesting fins - looks like they are completely movable instead of just having flaps/rudders.

Interesting. Would missiles employing passive detection modes be affected by this jamming? I read somewhere that newer missiles such as PL-12/SD-10 has passive modes that can home in on EW emissions without using the launch aircrafts radar or its own active seeker. Yet IR detection...

Wouldn't such a device mounted on a stealth fighter become counter productive to stealth though?

I don't understand. I thought jammers only jammed radars. Sidewinders are heatseekers that passively detect IR, how would you jam them? I know F-22 has IR reducing technology, but these only reduce the IR signature - not eliminate it. I also read somewhere that IR sensors (QWIP) are being...

Isn't J-20 prototype number 2001 & 2002? Just read on Huitongs website that rumours are that the prototype conducted high-speed taxi trial today. :yahoo:

That's because Israel obtained the Mirage designs covertly and built their own unlicensed version.

Why do all the PAF FC-20 depictions always show the plane with the standard J-10A rectangular air intake and not the redesigned DSI intake on J-10B?

I don't know if this has been posted before, but it looks like a manufacturers datasheet for KLJ-7: Range for 5m2 target: Look-up: >= 105km Look-down: >=85km Number of simultaneous targets: 10

There's also the question of shielding any electronics from the guns magnetic fields.

That's based on assumption that the enemy doesn't have stealth fighters. If both sides have stealth, then WVR is more probable since both sides probably won't be able to detect each other effectively until close up.

Eurofighter has canards, but it still has low RCS.

Railgun projectiles depend on momentum/kinetic energy, so wouldn't guidance/manoeuvreing bleed energy?

I disagree. I mean just look at the two superpowers of our time - US and Soviet Union. Even now, US acts with arrogance on the world stage.

One mans hero is another mans villain. You can't please everybody - Opinions will differ between countries and cultures therefore every nation should have the right to award any prize to any person for any noble cause as they see fit. Why should the Norweigan prize be seen as the global...

Normally only 1 physical CPU, which can have between 1-4 cores.

Not all immigrant populations have adverse effect on test scores. For example in the UK, it's a well known fact that, on average, Chinese AND Indian students do much better in secondary education than their white counterparts.

But why does that aircraft have the USAF roundel on it?
