J-10 Thread IV

[jobjed]

We can put this matter to rest now; J-10C is confirmed to be an official designation. See the chair below:

Is it bad of me to wish that China actually did assist in pummeling ISIS in the ME so that I can see the J-10s loaded up with PGMs to blow stuff up ?
Because man do I wish to see the J-10 being blooded for the first time.

Yes it is ... I think we are all enthusiasts for these military systems but we should not forget for what purpose they are developed ... and to wish they should shed blood is not the level I would deem appropriate for SDF.

Further clarification of the orange team

The annual Red-Sword systemic confrontation exercise started much earlier this year than before. The third party force in the drill got a formal designation: Orange Force.

Sorry for my confusion on this matter, but would the orange force be equivalent to a neutral force (green in NATO parlance), or unknown (yellow in NATO)?

Hi these dummy missile can these be fired during the excercise for checking their working
Thank you

Dummy missiles are only there to create a realistic drag and weight handicap.

Not necessarily. There are also captive missiles or inert missiles used for training. They are pretty much the same as a service missiles sans the live warhead.

I think the only things operational on the training missiles are the seekers. The rocket engines, warhead and control fins are all dummies to simulate weight and drag only.

no that is incorrect. Some training missiles are certainly launchable.they are call NATMs or special air training missiles with a telemetry component in place of the warhead.

In the future, what kind of features might we expect to see on a J-10D?
