LOL, seems somebody going to lose his handler, as he previously promised if his 23 meters length estimation is wrong, he will not sign in using back the current ID.
Well, I retaliate the words I said then, he had already lost numerous handlers in such way thus I won’t be surprise he is doing again.:D
Some new images
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-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 isDesignations 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
I would say the J 16 a ” silent flanker”, similar to the ” silent eagle”, so it doesn’t contradict the role that F 15e also doing.
Black Eagle is only the thread openner’s own wish/oppinion on the J-20’s nickname.
While officially, PLAAF likes to name its fighter jets as some sort of “dragon”.
BTW, a close up look of the J-20’s engine nozzles:

What if rafale already delivered…:rolleyes: y:D
How ironic, Libya supposed to be rafale’s first oversea market. But now, France to be the leader to punch its fighter jet’s potential 1st customer.
Ahem, may I point people to my neglected pic above and humbly request them to answer my question? What is the object highlighted by the red circle?
The words in circle are the question of ” what’s it ??” As the same u r asking.

Does anyone have any more info on the PLAN’s re-deployment of part of the anti-piracy task force (namely an 054A FFG) to Libyan waters to help with the evacuation of foreign nationals?
…Any news on when the 054A would arrive in Libyan waters (if it hasn’t already), and/or what it has been up to when/since it gets/got there?
Wondering wether the FFG 530 “Xuzhou” has brought enough HQ-16 AAms or not…:D
anyway, pirates don’t have the fighter jets but the mission that “xuzhou” needs to cover may encounter hostile air targets.
054A FFG’s mission in Libya
Finally, the warship emerging from horizon…

The 054A FFG 530 “Xuzhou” is approaching the ferry ship carrying Chinese evacualted from Libya


Helicopter dispatched

Emile the handle may worth penny in this english forum, but it’s a quite known back in Chinese forums.:D
So to spicy it up, if he not only abandons his id in english forum but also in chinese ones, that could be a deal worth to trade with ” J-30 hotdog” :diablo:
Oh, forget to add: he already lost quite a number of “emile” ids in various Chinese forums as well, that didn’t hinder him to have a new ID and still recognizable in a few moments 😀
good replacement for their MiG-29s, probably more better spare support.
but politically, Russia is always one of Serbia’s most important allies, especially in the international arena. So they will stick with the MiG-29s regardless.
Who knows,
If they won’t buy J-10, perhaps they will buy FC-1 instead:
