Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

[Beast]

From the short article posted by LJK86 above rough translation.

The performance of J-10A from 2017 to 2018 Falcon strike exercise is better and better each year against Thai Air force JAS 39 Gripen. Representing indigenous Chinese fighter jets exceptional advancement and performance. Plus the progress of PLAAF fighter pilots training standard entering a new chapter incrementally is acknowledged by the PLAAF leader.


But after Falcon Strike 2018 exercise, Chinese internal discussion by the PLAAF pilots conclude that due to Thai Air force worry of leaking too much information on western technology and details of western air combat strategy would affect future Thai corporation with western countries. Thai Air force was somewhat holding back during the exercise with PLAAF during the air combat drill in 2018 Falcon Strike. Thai Air force's attitude seem to be as long as the result is not too lopsided/ugly then is good enough.

Thailand will soon crossover completely to Chinese military hardware in near future.

I don't know....?

I don't know....?

As there are WS-13 and WS-10 engines for backup, who cares the permission of Russia?

J-10 and JF-17 are not another T129.

They need the permission to export the RD-33. But as LKJ pointed out, If they refuse, the RD-33 could just be replaced by domestic alternatives.

If Russian smart enough, they will just nod. Wait... I thought J-10 already used WS-10 engines? Did I miss something?

I believe J-10s only recently began to be produced with WS-10 engines.

If J-10C need to be export, it will not be fitted with Russian engine. China has alternative engine for J-10C export depend on customers requirement.

Thanks. What is China's position on exporting J-10C to Iran for example (with some form of local production/technology transfer) - possible or not?
