Also, neither the PL-15 or the VLRAAM have a ramjet engine. Both are clearly using solid fuel rocket motors
J-10 Thread IV
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
Dual pulse or multi pulse motors. Meaning the rocket propellant is set up with different sections, each having a propellant with a different burn rate.
Both 2hrs long video. Skimmed some parts. At around the 1:38:00 mark of the first video and 1:17:00 mark of the 2nd video the camera shows the close-up of the J10A inlet splitter plates.

I suspect that report jumped the gun and got it wrong.
This is the Izd 30’s nozzle.
It doesn’t have the two section nozzle flap design that the engine you shared has, and if you look at the flap control components they don’t look identical to the image you shared either.
The one on the plane, for comparison.
I found a post from cjdby by "
He is saying that the engine on 052 is the same in the report (picture below). However the A9 ring (Y shaped bars) are not mounted. So the test on 052 is not for TVC yet, but for IR reduction. You can find more details as why he think so in the link (Chinese). This is a very techy person with unusual sharp eyes for details, according to my observation of his posts.
Came across to a new photo of the new "Izdeliye 30" in the reported Salyut plant. It is the same engine from a different angle. See the banner in front of it. It is Saturn.
Here is the twitter link
I don't know what happened to the report (Salyut plant). Anyways, I think we are looking at Izdeliye 30

The Chinese Air Force launches one of the most important exercises of the year, the Red Arrow 2018. The sources indicate that besides the traditional Red and Blue armies (OPFOR), there would be a 3rd army called Orange

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.
