Actually most of the pictures i have posted are recent, specially those of J-11s and some of J-10 some are of December 2013, the pictures of Y-20 are also recent and those include those of the WS-20s, the J-10 pictures where Y–20 bacon talks about the Lavi connection in fact are of January 2014.
No they are not ! Probably the recent four images (J-10 and J-11 over coast + sea) but most of the J-11 images are from older excercises, these J-10A images – esp. those with the J-20 in the background are from late 2012 to 2013 (since both 2001 + 2002 are at the CFTE since some time), the Y-20 images are from the maiden flight (yellow primer) and the taxi tests after painting (just remember that the Y-20 carries since almost one year a huge CFTE-number !!) … and regarding the Lavi-J-10, You know it is not a copy or clone, it might be based on, is technolgically inspired by or anything, but it is not a copy regardless what You Russian sources tell You (just look at the powerplant’s diameter). And that YJ-12 under a JH-7A is a ps-fake !
And remember many people here do not speak Chinese so have limited sourcing for Chinese aircraft pictures i can read Japanese so i can read kanjies of air force in fact the kanjies for Chinese air force are the same in Japanese and Chinese, so why not enjoy a good picture rather than argue?
That’s the point … one or two of Your images are fine, but a whole bunch of J-10B images, several which were already posted here days ago is plain stupid since they don’t add anything to Your post. And what the hell Your Japanese-speaking ability can add to this is well bewyond me … Japanese sources are most often if not always late and biased.
And about the Russian input (also Ukrainian) a few pictures and recent news tell a lot
One of the guys there is not ethnic Chinese and is easy to see where he is from obviusly not American
This images is already ages, decades old and no-one denies the Russian or Ukrainian input to several projects, so what’s the point !?
…
as you can see Russians and Ukrainians are very deep in the Chinese aerospace Industry, so i guess perhaps the J-10 as SIBNIA says has Lavi pedigree, this is something you do not need to believe but SIBNIA said that.
This are indeed very recent pictures some from December 2013
Again the J-10 is called a Lavi by the uninformed media and I’m sure SIBNIA knows the differences quite well … but it’s always a nice story everyone like to hear but simply look at the dimensions, the powerplant, everything besides the general layout is new. It is maybe a bigger brother or call it a refined development of, but not a Lavi-copy, period !
Some recent picturers of JH-7
Again old … and most of the already podsted days ago ! … so why again ?
