^ the model seems to be the same as the old drawing. note the tails
new one seems a bit wider and longer. maybe better to accomodate a bay

that model doesn’t seem very navalized. if using the f-35C as a comparison, the wings are much smaller, no tail hook

there’s rumblings that the Indians are not happy about the Pak-fa’s price and level of technology.
assuming a case where they withdraw from FGFA/Pakfa

what are their other realistic options towards a 5th gen?

buy american?
jump in with Turkey or Korea?
go it alone?

if they’re upset with price, they’ll probably be disappointed at how expensive all 5th gen projects are.

speaking of ucavs

Mig did have the Mig Skat. Yes, that’s the real name. and don’t worry, it doesn’t mean what you think. it means brownies

^ same here.
I prefer the pancake style of 5th gen jets (yf-23, pakfa, 24dmu).

I would like to know why they decided against this route, and why more designs more or less use the LockMart template.
i’m guessing less risk

supposedly there is a 27DMU, but I couldn’t find any concrete pictures.
26DMU information only appeared last year in 2016
FYI, it is year 29 in Japan.

not sure if those are AAM-4s, look more like meteors to me

a bit more about the bay

supposedly they are aiming to fit an xasm-3 in there. but good luck with that, I’m not sure if that’d even fit the TU-160 bay

a bit more about the new engine

layout of 26dmu

so, anyone want to guess who will finish their 5th gen first? The koreans, indians, turks, or japancheese?

maybe its not just a commonality in fighters but broader?
I seem to recall very recently the Japanese were pushing their P-1 asw plane and C-2 to the UK (blasphemous yes, but it is very unfortunate UK retired the nimrods etc

and who knows, maybe those really are meteor missiles in the DMU 26 model. this UK-JP collab might be deeper than we know it

perhaps some kind of Ashm?

the F-2s were designed around the idea of carrying 4.
