I found your comments very well elaborated in those posts above, then I just have been taken a small part of this first post in reason of that:
As far I Know China had been opted for interceptors Su 27SK since the early 90s when the multi-mode Su 27M and Su 30M were available for export too.Then China had opted for Su 30MKK and Su 30MK2 while Su 30MKI with TVC and radar PESA were available for export as well.
Besides the absence of the TVC into Su 30MKK and Su 30MK2 it has not been equipped with PESA N011M Bars radar, but instead with N001VE/VEP radars.
In fact there aren’t any client of the Su 30MKK or Su 30MK2( Venezuela, Vietnam, Uganda and Indonesia) that has been opted for radar PESA N011M Bars or Zhuk MSA, and there aren’t any client of the Su 30MKI (India, Algeria, and Malaysia) that has opted for the radar N001VE / VEP or even the slotted phase array Zhuk MSE.
Maybe it’s just a coincidence, or there are some conections in the Su 30MKI between PESA radar with: TVC and canards.
Apparently China has bought 24 Su 35 from Russia, and these will be equipped with TVC as PESA radar.
But the main fact is that the J 10 has been continuously improved since the early version, and among the new features of J 10C/D would be a new engine from China , as well as a new AESA radar could be in late-stage development.
Just reason for China has not been striven to promote J 10 so far could have been more related at the fact that the main systems of the J 10A/B has been imported or related with foreign countries as Russia about the engine and radar, otherwise as the J 10C/D has been incorporating Chinese system I suppose the aggression of China in the international market will increase considerably in the near future, as well as the J 10 will be exposure more and more.
In fact Israel has been actively participating in China’s defense market since the 80s, as well the others countries once the fighter bomber JH 7 has been equipped with R&R Spey since them. I guess that Israel had participated in the development of the J 10, since it would be even more effective in terms of time and cost for China to acquire existing technologies than to start their development from the first stage.
This collaboration between Israel and China could have been decreased in the last decade due to the cancellation of the sale of AWACS Phalcon system from Israel to China in reason of the high pressure from EUA against this deal, which led China to develop its own KJ 2000 system.
you’re wasting your time. guy is long gone.
not that it matters, if you look through his posts, he has a history of being wrong and refusing to admit it.
j-10 length, first said its the same as f-16, then says its eurofighter, and now with official data out, its 16.43 meters. slightly less than the mig-29
also check out his threads on mig-29 in China. argued tooth and nail it was in china until normal posters here proved it was a photoshopped romanian one
I think he is also the same guy who thinks boeing named the 787 because of China and the number 8. not because 8 was the next number in the series
