From someone over there at CDF !

I must say the array looks rather clumsy..

Forget AESA radars, here are some PESA radars

Zaslon – Link-1
Irbis-E – Link-1
Bars-29 – Link-1

Only one that come close is the Zhuk-MFE – Link-1, Link-2

You sure? Looks more like eight.

:confused: Probably more than 8

Interesting!

…
J-10B is expected to enter the production this year (07 batch?).

so its not just a testbed for the J-20 avionics

J-15 for Russia? 😮 :confused:

Confirms what my source in boeing had told me some weeks ago..She was pretty certain that it would be the french that would bag the order..

What were her reasons for that?

…

– J-11BS/BSH – simple trainer version
– J-15 – “simple” carrier version
– J-16 – reportedly “Silent Flanker”
– J-17 – reportedly carrier capable “Silent Flanker” or this Su-34-like thing ?

– J-18 – reportedly this “Snowy Owl” stealthy JSF-type
– J-19 – reportedly a SAC stealthy fighter bomber based on their failed XXJ-submission
– J-20 – we all know it by know 😀
– J-21 – reportedly single engined JSF-type from CAC

… and then all the other types like helicopters, Q-6, Y-20 ….

…

Deino,

According to Hui Tong, J-16 is a version of the J-11BS comparable to American F-15E. Sort of a ‘strike flanker’.

J-15 – Carrier capable flanker (Su-33)
J-15S – A twin seat trainer version of the above
J-16 – J-11BS version comparable to F-15E possibly replacing both JH-7/7A & Su-30MKK
J-20 – Like you said, we all what this is

Designations from J-17 to J-19 are unclear. There is the so called ‘silent flanker’ by SAC and another based on the failed SAC J-XX proposal. But, these 2 seem to overlap allot

Hotdog,

I am sure you are a very talented guy (or gal?), but April fools jokes are clearly not your talent :p:D:diablo::dev2:
