H/LJG-346 SAPARS On 052C :

By =GT @ CDF – KJ-2000 Cockpit:

Does the silver cover over the exhaust here have a similar function?

The basic lines of the J-8II suggest a Sukhoi influence from the Su-15. However the air intakes look like dead ringers for those found on the MiG-23. It only vaguely resembles the Ye-152a that seems to be the basis for the Mig-21 derived J-8I.

Lot of people talk about the J-8II being influenced by the Su-15, but the J-8 to J-8II actually has the MiG-23 Influence. There is an entire gallery at CDF comparing the modification to the J-8II and the MiG-23.

I second that! 🙂

Interesting picture. Its also matches with NPO Saturn’s image.

I third that…..

paralay, if you have one, could you please post an image of the model at Pogosyan?

thanx a million in advance…..

Official name is DF-21C (Drop the DF-25). DF-21C is believed to have CEP of 30m – 50m (Not sure how official that figure is though).

Cancelled 1st flight in August or was there a 1st flight planned in August in the 1st place? Was the 1st-flight in August an official thing or just the fanboys shouting?

To be honest, does anybody outside the loop actually know what the Russian schedule is? After all they don’t owe us any answers. Things will happen when things are ready….

Like I said before, the new image posted by Deino is consistent with some of semi-acceptable images floating around. The NPO-Saturn drawing, RCS test video, and that badge displayed at MAKS-2009. But then again those ‘leaks/glimpse’ could be a deliberate misinformation campaign to hide the real thing.

So we just have to patient until the official unveiling.
