Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

[帅的一匹]

the issue with FC-20/J-10A or B is the engine. its russian and china has not requested russia for re-export permit.

China had successfully put WS10A in use, which is a reinforced prototype of AL-31.Why we still buy hundreds of AL-31 is that our production line of WS10A is overloaded,we need to bring in usable engine to pack up PLAAF into fight force ASAP in case of regional conflict, what Chinese goverment has the most is US dollar that's what Russian loved. As long as the window period is over, no single AL-31will be purchased by CHINA, i promise you my friend.Every chinese pilot interviewed credit J10 for it's super manueaverability.As we all know main chinese look implicit when they express themself, or the national security won't let any pilot say in the public how good feel is driving a J-10 with WS10A. It is still a sensitive topic in china even now.

FC20 any details on it is the FC20 J10B the same PAF will be buying J10B as named FC20 right

i think J10B is the working model for Pakistan and FC20 will be the final version.

@ All Informed Guys:

Why is Chinese J-10 not using retractable probes? If they are not using it, should we expect retractable fuelling probes any-time soon on JFT ?

FC-20/J-10B Program seems to be very much inspired by MMRCA.
DELAY, DELAY, DELAY or CANCEL. ::

Rightly said bro... they said they will announce the lowest bidder by january end and yet again no sign of any development.
Looks like our countries have strong induction effect.
