    A cockpit of 04. No dials!

    Here we go. This is an early schematic of the J-10’s hardpoint. It was posted circa 1999/2000. There were a lot of doubt as to whether the schema was correct because we did not see the hardpoints on the main fuselage (the pair behind the inlet and another pair near the rear.)

    The inlet hardpoints are proven by this picture and a fuzzier earlier one. The rear hardpoints have not been verified yet.

    Yes, those are 4 pylons for anti-ship and cruise missiles (YJ/KD series). It’s the latest H-6M variant.

    More pictures were posted in our long-running “China’s News, Pics and Speculation Part 9”

    There were diagrams showing the hard points on the inlet carrying 250lb bombs. I would it can carry a small pod as well.

    Why is this thread still going??? Su-35 = F-22 Fodder unless the Raptor Driver is a complete Muppet, which I do not think will ever happen (note that pilot skill is another attribute that nobody has mentioned). Any other outcome is a complete fantasy.

    The Raptor Driver would probably win EVEN if he were a complete muppet. We know that a AMRAAM can lock onto a non-stealth aircraft like the Su-35. But there is nothing that indicates that a R-77 can do the same to a F-22. In fact, we don’t really know if a R-77 can lock onto and kill a F-16. Historic BVR kills are nearly entirely American missiles fired from American platforms.

    Now, in a WVR setting? If the F-22 pilot is stupid enough and the AWACS operators are criminally negligent enough, then we might have a dogfight. But why would a F-22 ever dogfight a Su-35 that couldn’t even find the F-22?

    It’s like asking the P-51 pilot in 1945 to deliberately slow down and dogfight an obviously inferior but more maneuverable A6M Zero.

    20 or 32, who cares? It’s a minor number and it’s not even the plane in question here.

    Read the original post, the question was posed concerning the F-22 and the Super Flanker with the originally poster correctly naming the Su-35 against the American plane.

    It’s just silly nationalism to bring in the MKI because you think it is more “super” than the Su-35. Both planes are built in Russia anyways.

    Plane sex is when a USAF K-135 plugging a F-15’s receptacle. Two aircraft.

    This is more like bestiality since the cart is a different mechanical species.

    Another fact is that the MKI, MKM, are both far more advanced than the MKK- is that what hurts ur ego for you to make inflammatory comments?

    First of all, the only “inflamatory” comments are coming from your side with the “oracle” and “chinese” photoshops comments.

    That along with the foolish attempt to hijack this thread from the Su-35 and turn it into a discussion of the MKI.

    It doesn’t matter if you think the 20 MKIs — which have been around only since 2003, barely constituting a full squadron — is better than the 80 MKK/MKK2s.

    The thread involves NEITHER.

    So let’s return back the Su-35.

    The latest H-6H and H-6M attack variants are in low volume production. Probably the H-6D tanker as well.

    Rows and rows of bombers like in the good old Cold War days can still be seem at certain places in China.

    The big-haired bouffant hairstyle (usually a wig because it was a pain to actually create with a natural head of hair) was also called a B-52 — was probably the inspiration for the rock band.

    As far as tons of bombs dropped, combatants (and civilians) killed and the affect on imagination, there is no comparison between the B-52 and the Tu-95.

    When you think of B-52, you think of Dr. Stranglove, Arclight, Linebacker and rock band. A military and cultural icon.

    Thanks, Deino! Especially like the details on the PL-11 and SD-10 hanging off the J-10.

    Old picture but still has the same mystery. The J-10 and the weapons are set up for display so it is rather interesting for an aircraft still not officially acknowledged.
