Will the muzzle flame influence the lens?

interesting point there 😀

Z-10 gun position is similar to Rooivalk, Tiger and A129

In comparison AH-64 is well behind

AH-1, Mi-28 is somewhere in between

Austere,

I just stumbled upon this : http://obiekt.seesaa.net/article/123009807.html

Using Google Translater, it seems to be maximum detection range of 102nm (189km) for fighter size (F-16?) target?? :confused:

Anyone speak Japanese here? swerve?

A summary would be nice 😮

For the very 1st prototype its quite good. She doesn’t even have the 5th gen engines. But the minimum radius turn was nowhere near the J-10. In the 2008 J-10 does it in about 18-19 sec 2010 was something like 16-17 sec IIRC.

here are some highly classified (but somehow leaked) designs : Image-1, Image-2

correct….

India has 2 programs:

FGFA – T-50 Variant
AMCA – Medium fighter that’ll complement the FGFA – Link-1, Link-2

…

now if what Deinosaur says is correct.. that its aimed at export.. it means only one thing..

China: We don’t want to sell Pakistan our J-20’s, but we’ll make a special export 5th gen aircraft for them

J-20 is not for sale (similar to the F-22). Doubt the J-20 will be mass produced like a J-7/J-8 (maybe J-11). The chit-chat at Chinese defense BBS is the J-20 will only be in the elite squadrons. Initially it was believed that CAC will create the J-21, a single engined downgraded version of the J-20 but it seem SAC has grabbed the opportunity instead.

Regarding Pakistan, I think they made it clear that the J-20 does not suite their needs. Maybe a the J-21 or a single engined stealthy JF-17, but the J-20 (or even only Su-27/F-15 type heavy planes) don’t interest/suite them.

Either Japan or India. If funding won’t be cut further I’d lean towards Japan.
