That’s the old F-35 mantra!!…..’till it turned out 90% of the cost @ 50% of the capabilities!!:D

Interestingly, a Russian news site reported today that it bears more resemblance to the YF-23 than the F-22. Time will tell, T-minus 24hrs.

Nighty-night Sergei Bogdan (again).

Сергей Богдан -Желаю хорошего полета!! удачи!!

That’ll be fantastic :diablo::dev2:. Actually, its not surprising. That has been rumoured for some time. I think it was RSM55 who first said it a year or 2 back that it would be more like YF-23 than a YF-22.

True, but its quite clear that Mig was lagging behind allready from the late 80s compaired to Sukhoi.
Both financily and R&D..

Thanks

Yeah, I guess thats true. Its a shame… Growing up as a kid the word ‘MiG’ was synonymous with Russian Aircraft.

and this is based on what? just looking at the radome of the J-10B? You have any pictures of its radar? How do you know it has an AESA?

looks like another case of a rabid nationalist relying on eyeball speculation to play a penis measuring contest with other nationalists

come back when you have concrete evidence and facts of this AESA mm’kay

J-10B hasn’t even entered service with the PLAAF. It is still in prototype stage. So officially speaking you won’t get much details about it. Actually, they have never shown an image of the older J-10’s RADAR to date. So don’t expect much in terms of official data. There have been a CCTV video where the military guy claimed the J-10 (not the J-10B) has an ‘ESA’. We thought it had a MSA :confused: The video link is somewhere in SDF.

On the rumour side, J-10B is said have a X-band AESA developed by the 607 Institute

Great stuff! Second one should also go to the impressive weapons load thread.

PAK-FA definitive 5G engine @ 16-16.5t (projected), iIrc, MMPP Salyut is now the lead developer.

I thought MMPP Salyut engine was 18t class?

Good lord, how did this happen here? QuantumFX, QuadroFX, who’s copying whom?

Hehe… I actually wanted Quantum-Slipstream, but it was too long for the system. So, I randomly put FX.

It is very pity. It is very shame to me 🙁

Huh? Why? 😮 :confused:
