Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

[ChineseTiger1986]

It can supercruise. With 14000KN Thrust, it can match Typhoon and Rafale as truly 4.5th fighter.



One thing for sure, it will not go operation with a foreign engine. PLAAF top brass has make it very clear. For those scum bag hanjian general who advocate continue using AL-31 engine shall be shot. The PLAAF needs to take bold decision and not afraid to lose a few planes and pilots to allow Taihang engine to flourish in PLAAF.

China will soon replace all AL-31 engine from both PLAAF and PLAN.

Recently, another J-10A was crashed because of the engine failure, and this has speeded up the domestic engine replacement.

China will soon replace all AL-31 engine from both PLAAF and PLAN.

Recently, another J-10A was crashed because of the engine failure, and this has speeded up the domestic engine replacement.

Is there any possibility like this? J-10 must wait for new engines.
Scenario 1:
1. Before China imported AL-31 for their aircraft
2. Time's up
3. Domestic engines are not ready
4. Al-31 lifespan stretched too much and broke.
>>> accident
Scenario 2:
1. China decided to replace a few J-10 with domestic engines. More new aircraft wait for new engines for ex-work.
2. Instead of rumour on the media, It's not Al-31 but domestic engine on crashed aircrafts
Domestic engine still show their unstable quality and cause accidents.

If that's what really happen, China has to halt J-10 flight, deployment and import more new Al-31

If one of above scenario is true, buying Russian engines helps those fighters dont have to ground for a while.
