J-10B crashes near Chengdu

[siegecrossbow]

This happened 2 days ago... Chinese members can give more details... my guess is they will say yes...

Nope. There are at least two documented J-10A crashes and four other undocumented crashes.

You can follow the debate here Second batch of J-10B | Page 12

Thanks for the link. Discussion clearly say it was prototype J-10B. With Xinhua link. So all these J-10S, Chinese amateurs identifying aircraft type etc is just hot air or am I missing something?

What's the point whether it's a B or a S version, a J-10 is now junk and 7 civilians are injured. I look forward when our J-10 are equipped with Chinese engines in the very near future.

I read somewhere that one chinese submarine launched missile test failed and it almost sunk Chinese submarine.

If single engine aircraft crashes due to engine failure, it is a serious issue.

 

[BoQ77]

So what's the most reliable engines for J-10 all variants ?
It really need a good engine, because ....... errr .... it's single-engine.

 

[NiceGuy]

China cant even make a reliable car engine, so u guys should forget abt making good jet engine

Problem was with something else, as engine didn't suffered any breakdown and is intact even after such accident.

Engine was good and intact as per Chinese netizens.

It seems that Chines poster are Blaming engine to get rid of any other issue including aerodynamic problems because the engine is Russian.

 

[BoQ77]

So the earliest victim would be Russian made engine?

Some maybe, some not. As they are only reporting from the scene in initial hours. Later security people cardoned the area. It was reported that 7-8 people are injured including three severely burned, maybe died too. But I would not want the casualties in any way. But as everyone is aware that how strict Chinese government is when it comes to such cases. Thank you.
