Chinese Air Force (PLAAF) News & Discussions

[ChineseToTheBone]

Participants: SU-35 vs 'a B variant' (most of us speculated it was J-10B)

Results: the B variant has significant advantage over SU-35 at BVR, and the latter has slight advantage over the B variant at WVR

If that really was the case, I might have underestimated the capabilities of the J-10B. Perhaps it really could be up there with the Dassault Rafale and the Eurofighter Typhoon. Then again, it might also mean Russian technology has very much fallen behind over the past decades. In any case, was there any possibility of the variant participating having been a J-11B instead?

not sure, I guessed its J-10B

but anyway, J-10B is a lethal fighter, I wont lose to any of current 4 or 4+ fighterss, it all comes down to the pilot and tactics. But what we are eagerly looking for is the beast J-10D ```muhahahaha

JH-7A fighter bomber

 

[Kiss_of_the_Dragon]

I think H7 should be retired with all other aging planes such as J8...不堪一击 and replace by more capable J-16...

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Not sure about the age of the birds but these do look quite lovely machines
Just wondering how come we never got these instead of F-7 or our mirage fleet

Impressive birds , specially with the arrival of enanched variants with new Avionics / Engine

Another Chinese Product that is very unique

J10 Servies , JH-7A, J11 etc all very unique planes and Chinese have continued to learn and adapt to newer designs
