PL-12 officially shown and acknowledge.. 😉
I just looked at that picture. It looks like my little sister’s first try at MS Paint. 😀
MiG, do you really believe that picture shows an AIM-54? I can’t even make the Tomcat out of that wreckage.
Are u trying to say the thread starter has the same intelligent lvl as yr infant sis?
China is definitel going in the direction of blue water proection. With China depends on sea route for oil. China having her own abilities to protect its supply route is understandable! What is the big fuss abt China having CV? China as a huge country with 4th largest economy,world biggest population,world largest finacial reserve. What is so frightening abt China having CV?
If China is a poor country,not even making into top 10 world econ power,self dependant then having CV will looks illogical.
Sounds like a very bad planning for a professional army force like Britain that they have to restore to renting from private comany for helos? Looks like the War on Terror is getting messy and messy with everyday passes..
I think it all downs to a special event to demonstrate the potential of such concept! Just like Air raid on Pearl Harbour in 1941 to cement the superiority of aircraft carrier and naval aviation!
What I could believe is a super sub and not a battleship to claim superiority on naval warfare with the usage of cruise missiles.
With sub sea endurance getting longer,getting more quiet and lesser weak point plus a big factor of moving stealthy underwater! Sub will be the perfect platform to deliver devastating attack on enemy with very low chance of getting detect!
Infact,sub is the only platform capable of repeating the similiar surprise atack on enemy naval and airbase with one destructive decisive attack. With satelite and advance sensor available in present modern warfare,surface fleet are hard to escape from detection of these sensor.
Imagine 6 sub each capable of engaging 4 target each firing 2 cruise missiles on each target and launching a total of 48 cruise missiles at the same time in the first wave and targeting a total of 24 targets from a range of 220km away from enemy naval base! A second missiles attack will ensure complete wipe out of huge naval fleet even the size of US fleet could not sustain some heavy loss!
Hint: which submarine knocked out a South Korean fishing boat when surfacing?
Type 039G Song
It was widely reported in Hong Kong media that during the Chinese “10.1” national day period, a PLAN submarine was caught in a video which shows it surfaced in Hong Kong water and the crew step on the dock to “celebrate the day with 7 million Hong Kong people”, 😀 local military “expert” even pointed out the submarine belong to PLAN type 035 Ming grade. 😮
But finally it turns out to be a … :p find the answer yourself by watching the below footage. 😀
Typhoon…. 😀
Another image of JF-17 PT06 from a different angle.
1st time we see DSI modified JF-17 with AAM
Hope to see a full loaded JF-17 soon… 🙂
Clear pic of 054A
People keep mentioning that the F2’s AESA radar is not good/crap etc but are they really so stupid as to think the japanese would carry on flying the AESA radars without upgrading them or debugging them?
I’m scare they really don have the capabilities to de-bug it! :diablo:
Plus they have stop purchasing more F-2,a clear indication any debug programme will not carry out!
Some old photo but quite recent photo to share! Production of J-8F
This new precision-guided glide bomb called LS-6 was first revealed in October 2006. The bomb appears to be in the 500kg class and guided by GPS/INS. It feartures a foldable wing module attached to the top of the bomb, while A guidance module with 4 movable fins attached to the end. This design clearly resembles that of American Longshot guidance and range-extension kit, which turns a low-cost dumb bomb into a smart standoff weapon against fixed targets. However, the exact nature of LS-6’s guiding mechanism is still unclear since GPS is controlled by the Unite States. Consequently this version may be aimed for the export market.
China got Bei Dou GPS or possible use Russia GLONASS ???
But the IDF will swarm the motherland and save the world! New variant of the IDF just released.
〔記者鄒景雯、許紹軒/台中大雅報導〕提昇IDF戰機性能的「翔昇計畫」昨天邁出重要一步,全新生產的翔昇機昨天下午在台中清泉崗基地秘密展開首次試飛,在一架現役IDF戰機的伴航下,編號一○○○五的翔昇機不收起落架,完成廿分鐘的處女航,並順利降落機場。
十月九日原定翔昇機還有一次正式試飛,陳水扁總統也將親臨主持。但軍方因故將試飛延期,確切時間尚未確定。
昨天的清泉崗基地雖然天氣晴朗,但風勢很強,駐紮在清泉崗基地的四二七聯隊戰機訓練任務從上午開始就沒停過,IDF戰機不斷升空,期間還穿插台中航空站民航機的起降;下午一時許,擔負訓練任務的IDF戰機陸續返航降落,發動機的聲響傳遍台中縣大雅沙鹿一帶。
約在下午二時五十五分,有二架IDF戰機在滑行道上一反常態地由西往東地駛抵跑道,第一架從外觀灰色塗裝就可認出是空軍現役的IDF戰機。
第二架戰機就是翔昇機,藍色的垂直尾翼隱約可見有個圖樣,但因距離過遠無法辨識,翔昇機從滑行道轉向跑道時,現出機身特殊的塗裝,包括深藍、淺藍、綠、白、紅與灰等色彩,乍看之下與俄製Su-27戰機的塗裝有些相近。
第一架IDF戰機先起飛,繞過整個機場後,在由南往北飛入機場之際,翔昇機跟著加大馬力滑行升空,由於是第一次試飛,三個起落架都沒有收起就直接往西飛向台灣海峽,二架戰機瞬間消失在眼前。
約在三時十五分,戰機返航,首先降落的就是翔昇機,戰機機鼻加裝相關測試探針,並在原本IDF印有「經國」字樣的位置,改為「翔昇」二字,外觀上變化雖然不大,但翔昇機發動機部位的後段機體看來似乎比現役戰機較厚高,鼻輪倉蓋外觀似乎也有不同。
翔昇機落地後就滑行到位於機場西側的漢翔公司棚廠,結束廿分鐘的首飛處女航。

具對地攻擊力 將接替F5E
〔記者許紹軒/台北報導〕據了解,「翔昇案」為IDF戰機性能提昇計畫,翔昇機明年初將在機背加裝二具適形油箱,多出的燃油量讓戰機可增加一倍以上滯空時間,新機具備對地攻擊能力,以接替F-5E戰機除役後對地密接支援的任務。
翔昇計畫經費為七十億元,區分成三階段執行,包括天劍二型中程空對空飛彈掛彈量從二枚增加為四枚,還有天劍二A型反輻射飛彈、萬劍機場遙攻集束彈與青雲油氣彈;在航電系統方面,任務電腦升級、改良電子反反制裝置、電戰系統、先進敵我識別系統,及地貌追隨模式與雷達系統的改良等。
新戰機另加強機體結構以裝設機背適形油箱,這種油箱配合為降低空氣阻力而緊貼在機體上,既可增加航程又可減低阻力;但新油箱裝上後,原有的燃油量測指示控制系統需要修改,同時還要在新油箱中新增相關裝置,以將油箱油量量測指示進行整合。
因此中科院主導的翔昇機研發團隊為了解對燃油量測指示控制系統修改需求,及修改後產生的影響和工程問題進行評估,還在去年七月份派出二名工程師赴美。
由於新油箱仍在製造中,無論在昨天或近期將舉辦的正式試飛,新IDF戰機都將不會裝上適形油箱,最快要到明年初才正式安裝,並測試其空氣動力數據。
Where they got the engines? They bought new engines form US? I thought the line for IDF has closed?
J-8F on Oct 1th PRC National Day!
Harry, the engine deliveries are confirmed by Lyulka and Salyut as:
9 prototypes from Lyulka in 1997 (for prototypes)
54 production engines from Salyut in 2001-2002
100 production engines from Salyut in 2005-2006All of these are delivered as of this summer. Salyut are currently hopeful of a follow on order for 100 more to be signed in the not too distant future.
These are AL-31FN engines, and don’t fit in Su-27s. They can only be used on the J-10.
All available evidence, including Google Earth for example, points to a fleet of up to 100 J-10s right now, including prototypes/pre-series, with numbers increasing rapidly. There’s certainly more than 54.
Imported more than 100 engines and delieved and somebody still believe J-10 is in prototype stages..
