    Is that J-10’s cockpit?
    Standardized with FC-1’s cockpit?

    JohnWoo:

    Following your logic, that must have been a really tough airline – UB 201 is an armed Percival Provost trainer. I think you will find the aircraft in question date from the old days when the country was the Union of Burma, and the aircraft belong to the Union of Burma Air Force.

    Mike, I am not basing on any logic.
    I just recalling from my memory that I have taken a flight from Yangon (the capital of Myanmar) to a smaller city in the north. That was around 30 years ago, and I was around 10 years old. I was very excited because that was the first time into the airplane.
    The aircraft was very similar to the first picuture above and also with a number prefix with “UB”. The airlines is call “Burma Airways” at that time, now changed to “Myanmar Airways”. The Burma Airways’ code was “UB” at that time, but now changed to “8M”.
    That’s why I assume this is under “UB” hence “Burma Airways” when I see a number prefix with “UB”, but I may be wrong where these planes belongs to.

    Those UB376 and UB380 are nothing to do with the airforce.
    They are the airliners under “Myamar Airways” in the old days.
    Myanmar Airlines code is “UB”.

    Quite interesting two very clear pictures of the no. 1004 prototype and the 1006 with and without the IFR-probe …. here are more from 1006 with bombs !

    I though J-10 cannot rotate its canard 90 deg completely since I have never seen a j-10 photo with its canard in this position.
    Very impressive that it only need a very short runway for its landing.

    so how do you explain the different angle

    3 possiblities:

    1) Different planes may have different take off angle.
    2) J-10 may need shorter take off distance (a result of having a canard) while Su-27 may need a longer one
    3) to me it looks like Su-27 is landing while J-10 is taking off.

    Regarding crude pixel haze around the J-10, I don’t know cause never use photoshop. Some one may have an explanation.

    Crobato, Just ignore this ***.
    All he can do is just pulling in different and unrelated things and tried to argue without any concrete prove and evidence, just a waste of time and showing how stupidity of him.

    From now on, just ignore him.

    Look at how he tried to argue:

    You talked about: MKK
    He Uses A-50 to argue

    You talked about: AWACS is considered strategic
    He uses Space and Nuclear as arguments

    You talked about: evaluation samples
    He uses”U need english comprehension skills here”

    You talked about: SD-10 missile
    He said “musharraf begging russians “

    You talke about: Su-30MK2
    He said “same can be said about any other aircraft like F-16 blocks”

    He just wandering and throw in all different stupid replys to you.
    Just a waste of your time.

    That engine is not finished yet, so there is no any prototype with that engine.
    Simple enough, isn’t it?

    WS-10A Just certified not long ago, a new one is on the way.
    What an explosive speed!!!

    No comparison whatsoever.

    The cockpit looks similar to the J-10s, with 3 green MFDs and the same HUD. Arrangment of the analog dials are not the same though, and you have two additional color MFDs on the bottom. So its clearly not the J-10s and not as nice as the FC-1’s. Nor is it like any Russian cockpit I have ever seen and certainly not with that HUD there.

    Though this J-11B cockpit is already much better than the old Su-27, but I still love this one:
