SU-30MK2 i think

SU-30MK2 i think

Same thing. One is for ground and the other is for naval strike. In terms of usefulness, I'd say MKK. Though, you'd need both for Taiwan.

Hi
why is there a radiation sign on the nose cones, what does that mean?

^^^ Radar is high powered so still not too good to get too close.

Its emits radiation like a microwave oven

There should be a weight-on-wheels (WoW) switch system that will reduce radar output every time there is -- weight on wheels. This is a safety mechanism. The WoW switches also remove power from pitot heat, which is to heat up the pitot and any air data probes, including angle-of-attack (AoA) probes. The probes heat up very quick and will give permanent third degree burn scars. Anyway...So the WoW system is supposed to reduce radar output and remove pitot heat on ground. In the case of when there is a need for full radar operation on ground, the aircraft can be on jacks or the WoW circuit breakers opened, which is the equivalent of flight. The pitot heat CB is also opened so they do not heat up. Warning cones are then arranged at some distance in front of the aircraft and all is supposed to walk or drive around these cones.

nothing is wrong with pic! its just because of the angle of camera..

I am not worried about airframe, materials, radar, etc... just this WS-10A. How reliable is it?

Futhermore, on this naval J-15(the newest offspring of Su-30familytree?): Why can't they just develop a straightforward naval version of J-XX once and for all with drastically improved RCS, instead of this 4th gen J-15, bearing in mind that whatever naval version PLAN will have must soon face the challenge of F-35 class.

WS-10A, to tell u the truth, is not reliable as the Russian ones yet (some J-10B have been sent back to AVIC factory lately because of their reliability issue). J-XX will take a long time to develop, even for China. Varvag will have to wait for it then, and PLAN officials do not want to see this happening

Wow

great
we should go for this aircraft and say no to any other single engine fighter..
jf-17 is enought to replace all old aircraft

 

[SomeGuy]

^^ I don't think its for export.

But the Thread says ... China offers .... whom ? no one offers themselves ... i guess its for export

 

[Ammyy]

If they offer it so how j11 will be beneficial to Pakistan??
Its totally based on old design of su 27 .

 

[Nahraf]

I don't understand why would PAF not buy two-engine fighter. Same goes for PAEC which is always looking to build 300 MW nuclear power plants while the rest of the world build 600MW plus power plants. They both seem to have limited vision.

But the article is taken from a blog site.

As far as I know, no chinese official has confirmed that J-11 is for export. If anybody knows differently, then please provide a link.

I think they are just selling the accessories, not necessary for or with J-11.

The pic has been cropped, The title of poster actually says accessories for advanced platform, not J-11 specifically.
