Hello everyone,
I stumbled upon this picture, and it looks as though the J-10 is carrying AIM-120s (or copies). I know that the PLAAF had copied the AIM-7E2 and Python3, but did not know they used AMRAAMs. Can anyone who is more knowledgeable on the subject shed some light onto this? Thanks.

The long white thing is called PL-12/SD-10. AMRAAM look-alike with rumored Russian and Israeli elements.
China really must spend a ****load of money on all these toys! (And I don’t even want to think about all the spying going on). Looking at that picture alone, they compressed what takes 15 years in the West into one year or a little more. DSI, CFT, targeting pods, EW suite, the HUD also seems not too bad. Rapid progress. Like their cars, remember when the first showed up in this town it was a dangerous freak, but they are advancing their art even faster than the Koreans did.
That is just a mere conjectural image, an artist’s impression.
Ohhh come on … this CG/FAKe or what-ever You call it is about two yeras old, it has been posted much too often … and still some believe it’s real.
Besides that, the MRAAM’s are PL-12 as said and quite interesting, the model shown has some certain similarties to the recent J-10B.

Psychological fear? Anyone? Any “pilot” developing J-10 fear?
How does this payload configuration compares to western types like Mirage-2000-9, F-16 C/D block52+ (F-16 E/F block 60),Gripen JAS-39 NG etc?
Can four hard points under belly carry anything other then dumbombs and pods? I.e. can they carry BVRAAMs like Typhoons or some sort of PGMs like LS-1/FT-1/2 etc
Up to six pylons for ordnance or drop tanks under the wing, and maybe one centerline pylon for the drop tank.

Whats the 10S for? Seems to carry an awful lot of weapons for just being a trainer?
Two-seater does not necessarily mean “trainer” only. S in the J10S is the short form for Chinese meaning of” two seat”.

It’s not a mock-up, it’s a real J-10S with mock munitions

Exactly what should US think about this? That noone is allowed to install antennas on the aircraft because F-16 have them? 🙂
Anyone is allowed to install them, if US Govt. aproves it, because the Israeli EW contains plenty of US technology: DRFM for example, are made by Raytheon.

The antenae on the nose (near the radome) and on the air intake look like the EW suite on the F 16 I. I wonder what US think about this :mad:. Also the IFF blades look like those on the later Viper blocks.

I would not be surprised if most features of this CG actually found their way to the real thing sooner or later. In 20 years, J-10 might be as different from today’s version as Block 60 Viper is from the original F-16A.
