China Flanker Thread II

[asif iqbal]

J16 appeared in this months AFM and it stated that it was derived from Su-30MKK, so J11B is from Su-27 and J16 is from Su-30MKK?

also it said its using WS10 engines and article also stated that J31/F60 was using pair of RD-93 engines

SU-30MKK with 3 types of missiles. The ones with 3 black bands and 4 black bands looks like new missiles, presumely of Russian origin since SU-30MKK was not wired for Chinese made missiles.

No ... Right the ones with the Black bands are the old AA-10 & AA-11... The other ones are AA-12/R-77 but You are correct that this is a rarely seen weapons load.

It looks like the J15 is lifting off just before the ski jump. A very risky thing to do. That's unless it only looks that way and the J-15 is further behind the ski jump doing a flyover or a touch-and-go along the landing runway.

That or it could be a touch and go exercise.

can y'all really be questioning as to whether that photo is a ps?

everything about that pic is wrong!!!!

everything!!!!

You would want to do a "touch and go" in the landing runway and not in the ski jump direction.

I think that is along the landing runway and not towards the ski jump direction. The deck just looks curved because of the wide angle lenses used.

The plane in the pic is probably roughly in this position:



Judging by where the white dash line crosses with the yellow dash line and the circular helo marking. Note that there may be some difference in line scheme because this could be from a previous trial (and maybe we can narrow down to which by looking at the painting on deck).

The plane seems a bit high for a touch and go, probably a low fly over.

I agree with your view that the runway shown in the "questionable" photo is actually flat. However, the photo in question shows a solid red line alongside a dashed red line, and I just don't see such a thing in the photo you posted. However, if the deck markings were re-done a couple of times, this may well be the angled deck we are looking at, since other pics also show red lines on the angled deck and yellow ones on the ramp.

What are you talking about? That picture is taken on the angle deck, where's the ski jump come from? It's completely out of the picture.
