What if this missile has a millimeter wave radar and can also be used for air to ground applications?

Could JSF can go on a mission carrying 12 “long range Hellfires” and defend itself with them if it encounters enemy fighters?

All those other planes heft a silly load to make good promo pics to put on sale brochures. The J10 is not for sale yet so there is no need for such publicity stunts.

If any of those planes were flying combat missions, they would never be leaving home with so many missiles, so its all for show.

PLAAF planes are rarely pictured with weapons. If they are carrying live weapons, its for live fire exercises, and you don’t carry more than what you intend to shoot. The rest of the time, they are carrying blue training rounds, but again, you never carry more than maybe a couple of those.

The Typhoon and Rafale are in a different weight class than the J-10; they carry more ATA missiles in combat. The F-16 and Gripen are more similar to the J-10 and carry similar loads:

The Gripen carries a load similar to the J-10.

What’s the vertical thing I circled in red?

Allegedly, in exchange for Israeli training, air defense contracts, and drones, Georgia provided access to two air bases. These would have provided Israel with an attack route into the north of Iran. Azerbaijan and Armenia would have been overflown. Israeli aircraft could get to the Georgian bases by overflying Turkey, or, with Israeli-Turkish relations at a low point, they could fly over the Aegean Sea, Greece, Bulgaria, and the Black Sea to preposition to Georgia.

One problem with this is that the route from Georgia to Iranian nuclear sites is about the same distance from Israel to those nuclear sites. However, the issue of overflying Arab states would be mitigated, and the Israelis could do a two prong air attack (or maybe even three prong if a formation of aircraft approach Iran by coming up the Persian Gulf from the Arabian Sea – the long route, and a distance which Israel has apparently covered in aerial refueling exercises).

The other problem is that during the Russia-Georgia war, Russian forces made a beeline to the two airfields in Georgia, and captured all equipment which was already there. Apparently this included Israeli drones.

You could also look into the USAF, US Navy, and Virgin Atlantic experiments with biofuels. If I recall correctly these fuels have lower emissions?

That shows how huge the Typhoon class is.

Would it be possible to make canards from a radar-transparent material, with only the actuator at the joint being potentially reflective?
