So much for no more Russian engines. Big deal, wow!
If this holds water, the WS-10 engine development is in deep ****..
I mean Russian *Saturn and Saylut Engine R&D must be a freaking lightyear ahead:confused:
CAC doesn’t have the same problem SAC has. SAC is facing sort of a sanction when it comes to Russian engines due to the J-11B IP issue. Almost all WS-10 engines go to the J-11B/BS/BH/BSH and J-15. So far we haven’t seen a single leak (not even blurry one one), showing a J-10 test plane flying with a WS-10.
J-10 from the very first plane has been flying with the AL-31FN and CAC, PLAAF seems to be happy with it. For the new J-11/15 no such luxuries, there is only one engine option – WS-10.
Wuh? J-16 is new design? 
There is a fair bit of confusion here. What I could comprehend after going through Hui Tong‘s site :
J-15S : A twin seat trainer version of the J-15
J-16 : Su-30MKK/JH-7A replacement. Something like best of both worlds
J-17 : Silent Flanker
J-18 : Follow-on design to the J-15 (based on SAC/601 J-XX proposal?)
J-19 : Initially SAC/601 losing proposal for the J-XX but now being refined (not sure the point of this program honestly)
J-20 : By CAC/611. Well, we all know what this is 😀
J-21/2X : Downgraded single-engine stealth fighter by for export, by CAC/611
So from what I could understand, J-18 & J-19 are new designs by SAC.
Time will tell. Pinko has got it right on numerous occasions.
RSM-56 ‘Bulava’ attains a major milestone and significant step towards deployment after successful launch from ‘Yuri Dolgorukii’, today:
This indeed good news!
Its a good thing! atleast the IAF will get a 5th gen aircraft this decade this way… It it was upto HAL/ADA or DRDO we would not see anything till 2060..

.
AGREED — that helicopter had tons of people, including myself fooled initially.
I think it was the chinese-russian joint venture Mi-46?
Yup…. 😀
Off-course in the 20-ton heli image the 2 J-8 gave away the whole thing. Someone found the original without the heli. *BUSTED* This time no such points of reference. My 1st impression when I saw the alleged JH-7B/XX image was ‘a CG from the same ___hole but clearly improved his skills’.
Well time will tell…..
Would be damn cool if was true though…:cool:
I hope this is not another CG done by the person who did that very realistic helicopter CG not too long ago (IIRC a new Z-8 variant) :mad:.
J-10 beating the older Su-27SK is not surprising,
One thing, several years back there was a story about an experienced PLAAF Su-27 pilot in J-7E shot down a novice pilot in an Su-27.
The first pic is unreal.
Both are unreal. Second one is a photoshop of an old CG (someone decided to add wingtip missile rails).
J-10 Load
