MOD to send request for multi-role combat aircraft in July

finally its coming out this july :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Uhhh … cant wait to see the final choice, but therefore just one question:

Are all contenders still in the run ?? (MiG-35, Typhoon, Rafale, F/A-18E and F-16) … or has the choice already been narrowed ?

Cheers, Deino

Thanks Deino, I assume its one of the four prototypes?:confused:

As for the J-10, could it be the WS-10A? The type has been in production for some time and at a supposedly very rapid rate so they should be running out of Russian engines by now.:confused:

Hmmm … I’m not sure – especially how old that picture is – but my feeling tells me its not an actual or recent WS-10A equipped machine but maybe our wellknown 1003 prior to its painting … but I never knew that it was white too.

Deino :confused:

How come is Harbin industries and not Shenyang?

Worst,their showing R-27 and R-73 instead of PL-8 and PL-12….

I find it funny!

Where can You see it’s from Harbin ???

Deino :confused:

Thanks a lot for posting !!! … any idea, when the first flight is planed ?

Cheers, Deino 😀

Deino, if China can make an unmanned model which can finish a controlled/complicated maneuver like the one shown in the video, then it’s more remarkable than a maneuver finished by a manned J-10. 😀

Count how many spins, an unmanned one can’t finish it then at the end still recovered the position.

Agreed, but in the video it lodks like a sequence showing the spin-recovery tests verformed by a model … which ended on the parachute, and the recoved aircraft in flight is the first prototype and not the same test made by the model.

Deino :confused:

What the hell…???

I´m sure that it comes from a Mi-4, but that new cabin????

That’s one of the few Z-6 helicopters … sadly once again another failed project !
