What are the specs on the IRST?

Must be equal to or inferior to the Russian system specifications.

Its said its based on the Russian OLS-31E system, and may have been upgraded and little bit better.

nice pics wangrong

 

[TaimiKhan]

Wangrong, are the engines in these pictures AL-31 series or something else.

As i remember having seen Su-27s and J-10s in afterburn with engine giving red flame, while saw a supposedly WS-10 engine during afterburn tests with blue flame giving out.

Plus in this pic the engine nozzle seems to be open the way WS-10 has been shown as normally during take off the nozzle is more tighter, closed.

Is this the WS-10 or the AL-31 series ???

Myanmar to buy 20 MiG-29 fighters for $570 mln

A 400 million-euro ($570 mln) contract has been signed for the delivery of Russian MiG-29 fighters for the Myanmar Air Force, a source close to Russia's arms export monopoly told a business daily on Wednesday.

Vedomosti quoted the source at Rosoboronexport as saying the Russian bid to supply MiG-29 Fulcrum-D carrier-based fighter jets beat China's offer to sell its latest J-10 and FC-1 fighters...

$570 million by 20 fighters, means 28.5 million each, but we are talking about Mig 29 D here. The Mig 29K for IN costs $46 million each so we can expect normal SMT versions for the air force possibly around $35 million each.

J10 was offered for Myanmar Air Force at $ 41 million each!

fake news

J10+AL31 VS MIg29?

That price still really surprises me. What is the average unit cost of Grippen? Can't be much more than that and I would think the J39 is better, but I think the true capabilities of the J10 is still unknown by comparison.

sir the cost of gripen is between 50 to 60 million without VAT . in my personal view china taking time to introduce its j-10 in international shows and market.


But it true that they eagerly waiting to display their meacine worldwide like what US did

Nice Aircraft love it .......

 

[Luftwaffe]

This makes J-10A/B still expensive against mig-29er and su-30 standard version that costs around $34/35 Million dollars
