doesn’t discount the fact that they can be carried, and given how third world operators cannot find replacements for their MiGs, its mightly likely they have been upgrading to R-77s.

with present generation manpads no matter what you put in it, something that size will come down.

on a different note, the difference between flex and sea”lord”lawrence is the difference between someone who can stand up to dehumanization of others and one who will tacitly collude in his silence. Sadly, the result was to brand flex a “jihadi”.

It is a crime to dehumanize someone else. It is a bigger crime to talk of it as casual and commonplace. Because by doing so you tacitly collude in that crime. sea”lord”lawrence commited the latter crime and not the first, and flex merely acknowledged that. However, the immediate reaction was “there you go, it wasn’t that hard after all.” Which frankly, reflects on the mental capacity of the person in question.

I’d like to speculate that the FC-1 is actually being developed to replace the Q-5 rather than anything else.. 🙂

Hmmm … a Y-8 with a sting !!!!???? … a new version for ASW with a MAD ???

Heheh good one. That’d qualify quite nicely. Nice, havent seen that before. 🙂

What planet do you live on?

sferrin, what are you doing in Mars mate?

Speculate

Okay lets speculate then> PLA-MKII’s Speculative Specs:

1. WS-13 derived engines
2. AESA radar
3. Internally carrying 2 SD-10 AAMs
4. Not Stealth but “stealthy” RCS of < 0.25
5. New computer controlled anti AMRAAM gun that spits uranium depleted needles 😀
6. “Sting” at the back which unlike the Mig-29 stings that were radars, would be a “radar signature replicator” – on launch would quickly replicate the rcs of the J-10
7. The most powerful IRST possible, giving the J-10 the ability to detect F-22s withing 60miles

8. a next generation of integration of radars “netcentrtic radars” that link up and simulaneously detect stealth aircaft from multiple deflections.

9. Revolutionary new cockpit where the pilot is in a “superman flying” position rather than sitting and the ejection capsule shooting sideways rather than up.

10. No need for a 360 degree view bubble canopy – mount cameras to give the pilot a 360 degree view. Much more aerodynamically efficient and stealthy.

11. Paint em all black. Green glowing lights inside. Lets find new ways of looking at “deterence” 😀
