“The front part of the canopy appears covered, but it’s clear that the raised hinge part appears to have some tint film in it. If you look closely to the edges of the raised canopy you can even see the borders of the tint film.”
not sure i agree with the tint film part. look at the original pic, the edges of the canopy looks distinctly smooth. all the ‘tint film’ might just be static from the digital enlargement.
“Look at the trees.
It’s either a fog or a sand storm.
That makes me think… if that really is a sand storm, maybe they covered the canopy so it wouldn’t get dirty.”
possibly, but then why open the canopy just to let the ‘snog’ dirty up the inside instead?
anyhow, as i said before, if there was sth attached, it looks like its been put on very carefully to give the smooth appearence that we see on it, and there doesnt seem to be any visible objects like straps to hold it in place, so it would suggest a pretty permenant fixture, and alot of trouble to take off and put back on again on a regular basis.
“Have you not noticed how the sky is alsso goldish?”
yeah, but in other pics with similira backdrops, the canopy donesnt look like that.
“Well if it isn’t covered, try to explain how does it is shining while the the skies are filled with clouds and without any sun?”
what?:confused:
“Also, it has some unusual shadows over it, just as if it is covered.”
it would appear that the front of the canopy is covered with sth, but the raise section doesnt look like it has anything extra on it. just be the fact that it is raised should be enough to prove that. otherwise whatever is covering it would fall off if it wasnt attached somehow, and seeing how there are no obvouse signs of temperary attachments, it would seem that whatever is attached is fairly permenant, if there is sth attached at all.
“Yes maybe thats Ilan Ramon sitting in the cockpit”
who, what?:confused:
like what? the surface looks pretty smooth and there dont seem to be any unusual shapes on the canopy frame.
“Don’t MKK2’s also have like stronger landing gear etc?”
er, no. it have the same gear as the MKK. but the MKK’s gear is stronger then that of the su27UBs.
“$800 million for 10 MKI’s”:eek:
thats more then the typhoon! and is that with or without the french and isreali avionics?:confused:
its not a new pic, but as far as i know, it is unique, in that it shows a goldish glow in the canopy. this may well indicated radar absorbent material in the glass as with some later blk F16s. however, i have yet to see another J10 (not even the ones with the light grey camo that is supposed to be production a/c) carry them.
this has been puzzling me for some time, and i can only think of two possible reasons. one is that this a/c is only a test a/c, and that either the new canopy is not up to standard of its still in the middle of tests and not ready for mass production; or that all the j10 pics we have seen after the release of this pic has been ‘timed delayed’ releases.
“oh sorry my bad, i guess when people buy guns they do it to dig holes and plant trees and make the world a better place .. guns are never bought to kill anything, animals or humans.. “
:rolleyes: need i explain everything? is there a fair and comprehensive legal and policing system in the world today? its like living in a lawless world where everyone has guns, if u dont have a means to defend urself, then someone will decide that some possitions of ur would look better in their house and take it from u by force.
dont like it? tough, thats the world we live in.
“The Reality is that China has been threatening action if a vote is passed and Taiwan declares Independence. For you to come here and tell me that China is really a peace loving country and is an angel, or to use a colloquialism “Whiter then white” like butter wouldnt melt its in its mouth etc etc, is plain crazy.”
every nation has lines in the sand, bottom lines that cant be crossed. if someone crosses those lines and refuses to negociate, then there is only one way to solve the dispute, and thats by force.
all the ‘treats’ china has made are just reminding ppl that these lines exists and that china is willing and able to do whatever it takes to make sure no one crosses them. its saying, ‘dont do XXX or u face consequences’. thats very different from saying, ‘do XXX or else’.
“Would it be a viable assumption that status quo is the most desirable policy by all sides? The Middle Path, so to speak?”
apparently not so for li den hui and chen sui bian (taiwanese ‘president’). :rolleyes: ever since li first took office in he started to try and move taiwan towards independence by giving pro-indepence speaches, denying previous agreements, blocking chinese TV and radio channels and promoting pro-independence in the classroom.
chen, although from a different party, has pretty much carried on where li left off.
sometimes i wonder if some ppl here think before they start posting.:rolleyes:
“You dont run operation trident i hope. So i guess if some one walks up to you and points a gun in your face..its a act of peace right? coolies.. i love the world you live in.. “
i guess this is tipical of some, only seeing what they want to see instead of what the reality is.:rolleyes:
u forget the part my post abt ‘its what u do with the weapons that matters’? i guess in ur mind, everyone who own’s a gun is a homicidal miniac just waiting to change to pop a cap in ur a$$.:rolleyes:
feeling sorry for the underdogs makes u left now? :confused: is anything still politicalics free these days?:rolleyes:

the ppl on sky news claim that there may be up to 20 Al-Q cells in the UK, and more in other european nations. looks like Al-Q has been busy putting their pieves in place while we have been distracted by other events. only hope the security forces wise up and get these sccumbags before they have another chance to murder inoocnet ppl.:(
