Hey … You made my day !!!
so today, news reports say China did live drills off the coast of South Korea which include live firing tests from its carrier aircraft. in protest to Trump.
anyone know what kind of loads the su-33s were using?
They were using several YJ-83K AShMs and PL-12 AAMs …
PS: is there a reason, why the upload function does not work ???
… The weight, size and mission scope of the Yak 141 is very similar to the F -35’s.
That’s one of the jokes of the week !!!
Finally !!!! :applause:
Can anyone confirm ??
Handover ceremony of the first 6 J-20A was reportedly held yesterday on 11.Dec 2016 … but no confirm or images yet ?

Still no images of T50-8 ??? :apologetic:
[QUOTE=ClanWarrior;2360662]Well who would have thought it, 128 Brigade getting the first J
Why 128. Brigade ??? … at first I made a stupid type – it’s the 176. Brigade – … so maybe You too.
By the way so it begins as usually ! … at first a few reports, then a part of an aircraft and then some blurred images – quite interesting revealing another serialled J-20A … and then in a few days the final ones in all their beauty.

First J-20A for PLAAF in full serial number spotted: 78271 confirms the 176. Brigade … a new unit.
There are reports about a second crash … this time a Su-33 !? Does anyone know more ?
They don’t want us to see the landing gear ?!!! Humm hummm 🙂
I think right now they don’t want us to see anything but to at least identify it as V2 … so I won’t overrate the missing gears.
@TR1 can you post the whole video of the screenshots taken from?
Must be this one:
The FC-31 V2 prototype from behind … a typical step-by-step unveiling – Salamitaktik as we say in Germany – until the real bird will be shown.
Ground test has begun, looking forward to a maiden flight this month.

Slowly looks like an aircraft … the Il-112V prototype
Simply a nice image …
Just another detail I noticed in regard to this secret missile:
The pylon to which this missile is adapted is – or at least looks very much like – an APU-58 launch rail, which is commonly used only for AGMs like the Ch-29, Ch-31, Ch-58 … but never before with a AAM.
Could this be a hint for its intented role??
