Very simple answer my good friend:
“The board administrator is no longer accepting any new registrations at the moment.”
Believe me, If I could, I would, and I would give em some of my thoughts right now, in a respectable way.

If you wanted to call me a stupid prick or moron you could have just said it straight!
Ok, maybe it was unnessecary for aplogising, but insulting me for doing so is even more moronic and stupid (your words now) :p
Haleyoneshoemak:
You made me sound like as if i’m some stupid prick. I never said, you weren’t as good as me.
If someone slaped me in the face, I will hit back as well. But as doing so, I will also make sure I don’t look like a stupid moron.
Haleyoneshoemak:
I’ve seen certain individuals “pushing” as hard as they can on other forums, best thing to do is ignore them – at most defend yourself in a respectable manner. But NOT go so low as to their level.
If you do that, then you are no better than them.

Haha thats the funniest thing i’ve heard all day. This is how you treat all your new members?
By your logic, If I had 1000 post counts, starting a thread like this would be fine in your books.
Judging me by my post count? Yes your e-penis is bigger than mine, I should kill myself now because i’m such an inferior person.
:rolleyes:
I’ve only been into the military aviation scene for a short while now, i’m because i’m Chinese, naturally, I like to see my country’s developments. I’ve been trotting through many different forums (CDF, DefenseTalk, Key Forums, etc), never have I seen a Chinese member (or so called Chinese member) be so disgraceful to his own race than the thread I just witnessed in PDF.
Its stupid how they have the J-12 and FC-1 but not the J-10.

guan:is that a new FC-1 flight vid? the link doesnt seem to work, so if its new could u please repost it? cheers.
It’s not the new vid. It’s the yellow one doing the initial flights. Hmmmm worked just 2 days ago…dammit.
If thats the case, then it makes perfect sense….replacing your most outdated regiment with the most advance. Out with the old, in with the new?
Nothing suprising here.

So far only your word. No OFFICIAL confirmation, so I’ll hang on to my disbelief for now.
The J-10 manufacturing, flight testing and service evaluation programs continued at a pace not seen in the world of combat aviation since the end of the Cold War. By mid-1999 China already had six prototypes: four of them used for flight testing two were used for static tests. By late 2000 nine J-10 prototypes were produced and the flying models accumulated over 140 flight hours. The first flight of the pre-production model took place on June 28, 2002, by which time China already had at least 10 of these aircraft. In early 2003 ten J-10s were deployed to Nanjing Military Region for training and operational evaluation. A photo released in 2003 shows a pair of J-10s in flight with numbers “1015” and “1016” indicating that at least 16 J-10s were built so far.
Again only speculation from internet sources – No OFFICIAL confirmation, I’ll hang on to my disbelief about the number of prototypes.
Its first low-speed taxi test occurred on June 27, 2003 and its maiden flight took place on August 25, 2003, carrying two dummy PL-5E AAMs at wingtips. Meanwhile 02 prototype is undergoing static stress test at CAC. A total of 6 prototypes will be built.
Want to see the video? CCTV video??
Please don’t tell me your not going to take a VIDEO as proof?
Yes – a very nice wind tunnel model too. STILL does not prove it is in developement. Janes reports quoting unamed sources is exactly the reporting I would expect of Janes when they don’t have proof.
If your going to dismiss a Janes article, one of the most respected aircraft news sources, then I simply have no words left in my mind to describe how ludacrious this is. We shall wait and see won’t we?
Now I have done what you asked for? You wanted proof, I gave you proof, now show me your proof I asked for above?

I see we have moved from answering questions about speculation to speculation about why there is hatred.you are funny, instead of wasting your time attempting to attribute motives to your questioner, why not spend it productively proving what you speculate is true?
To me it is obvious you do not have the proof other than your fantasy speculation, therefore you are reduced to attacking the messenger! How droll!!!!!!!!
Your still here? If your going to go, then go, if your going to stay then, have a look a few posts above, as I have provided proof. Don’t try to ignore my post.
Now your saying we are all speculating. I say not, look here:
Fact:
J-10 already has at least 16 prototypes and began contruction on the two seat version by the end of 2003, and the latest news suggested that J-10 was finally certified by the end of 2003 and is ready for full-scale production.
(make sure you take notice that I bolded “Suggested” to avoid futher confusion)
Fact:
FC-1 fighter officially first flight took place in front of the public on August 25, 2003. 6 prototypes are in the works.
Fact:
Wind Tunnel version of JXX is already done, including several designs. Also, a Janes article was posted above stating that it is in development, to which you have not responded.
Now lets me ask you again, where is your proof.

I think I will do that. Thanks GD. 🙂
Re: Speculation!

Since you admit you are speculating too, there is nothing more to discuss. The degree of speculation hardly matters – what matters is that you admit to speculating.Thank you for proving my point.
As for your picture I think I will believe the unaltered picture as posted by Victor.
Let me put your questions another way. You claim the J10 is an original design and NOT a Lavi rip-off – where is your evidence showing it is fundamentally different from the Lavi. Superficially it looks the same. There was a thread sometime back showing an alleged J10 cutaway which was a Lavi rip off complete with the spine refuelling dock. Makes me wonder what else has been ripped off and now passed as original design by enthusiasts?
Why is questioning the legitimacy of your claims, hostility? It seems obvious to me that since you don’t have evidence to back up your fantasy speculation you call me hostile. Attacking the messenger does not make your fantasy reality – ANYWAY since you have admitted you are speculating and proved my point, I’ll leave it at that for the moment.
“Approximate performance characteristics and physical data were extrapolated from Lavi and similar aircraft but this was about the extent of the available analysis.”
“The J-10 is much more than just a development of the Lavi”
“As it turned out the J-10 we see today has little in common with the Israeli ‘Lavi’. The form of the delta wing has changed, the air intake is different, the shape of the nose section is different, different are the shape and position of the canards, etc. The J-10 features a simple delta wing with relatively large movable canards. The nose section, the canards and the air intake look similar to those of MiG 1.41.”
Now give me proof that it is a rip off of the Lavi besides just saying “they look alike”
I could say the MiG29 is a rip off of the F15 cause they look the same. :rolleyes:
Now I bet your going to counter attack me by discrediting my source right? Or did I just ruin your plans?

Even though I am a new member here, I have been lurking for quite some time here and there is one reason why I like these forums:
Most opinions here are unbiased and un-patriotic with a very few execptions. I’m able to get pretty clear facts about new military aircraft without having to go through to much garbage.
Just so that you know, I am Chinese, but i’m an Aussie at heart. Been in Sydney for 19 years now (i’m 21) and english is my first language. If there ever would be a war (God forbid) between Australia and China, I will supprt Australia 100%.
Having said that, I cannot deny I feel a little bit proud and admiration towards China at the level they are at now. Having gone throught the ****-hole which was the cutral revolution (1949 to 1970’s) and then in a period of 20-30 years having to re-build everything ground up takes alot of dedication.
To tell you the truth, not long ago, I even thought that China was a 3rd-third world, poverty striken country. I didn’t even like my own heritage! Until, I took it upon myself to do some research, and I was awe-striken. I had proven myself entirely wrong, Having seen cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Gaungdong, Dalian, Qingdao, Chengdu etc makes Sydney seem like 18th century england in comparison.
Sure, there are still lots which need fixing, but given time that will change too. There are still 3rd world areas in China, but you can’t imply the entire country is 3rd world only based on those areas.
Yesterday, I had a look in one of the Indian military fourms and I was shocked by the amount of garbage that was said. Most, if not all posts were biased, patriotic and sometimes just down right racsist towards China.
Try going to China-Defense.forum and you’ll see just the opposite, there is even a thread regarding the Indian Military and its capabilities showing alot of pics and the achievements of the Indian military.
Let me ask you WHY? Why do most of you indians feel this way about China? Have the chinese done something to have wronged you?
Have a better perspective on life will you?
Ahh thanks, whats the aprox scale?
Excuse my ignorance, but what is a “Wind Tunnel” model?
