I believe B-52 jammer is called EB-52, flightglobal article and some af.mil pages describe it in this way. Can’t recall anything about J model. I am wondering if the person on tv actually said ‘G’.

btw, b-52 already has powerful ECW capacity, but SEAD is not just about carrying loads of ECW equipments and HARMs.

Well said!!
What are the chances of the PLAAF going for the Su-34?? Or is the Jh-7A and Su-30MKK1/2/3/ there so the PLAAF dont need it.Also, PLA Wolf, are you sure that China is still making H-6’s? Has anyone heard anything about resolving the Harpy issue? Has Israel given back the Harpy’s?? Anyone??

JH-7A got an engine production problem … Su-34 is a backup …

H-6 is still making in city of xi`an, it is the only one chinese made big platform fits many needs.

It is reported that Harpy had been returned without any upgrade.

Well

🙁

The model is no doubt fantastic, but intro on the board is bull sh*t …

Hi, we both are talking about J-8II`s innermost pylon, right?

you say, “The closer … to the wing root, the stronger “, it should have been like this, but what a crap, it is NOT in a real J-8 or J-8II. Another reason is the main landing gears.

And “J-7E uses fuel tanks in the innermost pylon.” is really confusing me, because it is impossible to carry tank on that pylon.

I don’t think there should be any problem carrying PL-12 or a small fuel tank in the innermost pylon. The closer you are to the wing root, the stronger structurally your hardpoint is. You have to remember that the J-7E uses fuel tanks in the innermost pylon.

No worries. With phase array radar & dozens of HHQ9 missiles, and 16 1-metre-diametre anti ship missile, new PLA destroyer can not do anything without air cover. Aircraft will always beat surface warship by better maneuverability, which means more energy and power, even with old style anti ship missiles.

The advantage of us navy is the whole system of their platforms & weapons, but not the ability of their weapons. In fact harpoon is slow and small, but with better intelligence and command system, it can be more lethal than the much more powerful ss-n-22.

That is what a new navy lack of, no matter indian and Chinese.

But I think Chinese can do better, because the weapons are our own, not just import ss-n-25 form russia.

I do not have enough time to read all 15 pages of this topic, I think crobato know really well about PL missiles. But the innermost pylons can not carry fuel tank or PL-11 because of structure limitation, and behind them there are the landing gears. Maybe crobato meant the outside pylons.

[QUOTE=crobato]R-73 weighs about 85kg, same as the AIM-9 series.

Yes, the J-8II can carry up to tix PL-8s under the wing if needed, although the innermost pylons are usually reserved for fuel tanks or the PL-11.
