Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

Seems a bit odd to go through a revamp for the entire fuselage, just for a smoke generator.

Agreed, but I don‘t have a better explanation at hand …

Could be a bit of a stretch, but do you think it's possible, that the PLAAF is giving their airshow pilots the new jet, because they want more input on how it handles, compared to the previous design?

In fact I don‘t know, but if I should guess, an oil tank for the smoke generator

They could stick that below the fuselage as it is for the standard jets - it really seems a “much ado about nothing” situation

Another J-10CY was spotted and following no. 701 from mid-July, this appears to be 703?!

I wonder if it's testing in anticipation of a twin-seat variant of the J-10C. Thus far, we've only seen these spines on twin-seat J-10s and JF-17s.

Well, may he rest in peace! he died today at the age of 96.

And just like the Su-30MK2, the J-10AH and J-10ASH from the PLAN's 4th Naval Air Brigade follow suit with the introduction of the unit's emblem and low visibility markings.
