J-10 Thread IV

[Deino]

That is a lot of brand new J-10 planes. It looks like they are cranking out more since the New Year vacation.

A lot is quite relative ... I see 8, which is - if they are indeed all powered by the WS-10B a lot since we haven't seen any of them in service at a frontline unit yet.

I've never seen a photo where those hardpoints did not carry fuel tanks (or were empty). There's a high likelihood those hardpoints are in fact not wired for any weapons on J10.

The inner hardpoints are connected to wing tanks, making it harder to link to the data bus as well. Thus, they cannot be used to launch missiles but rockets and bombs.

Great images!

Can there is any change for J10 to have CFT in future instead of drop tanks like f16

There are rumors since years but I don't think so.

I can't access this site, probably because I am not based in China, so could you or anyone that has access to cjdby please summarise what Yankeesama said and if possible give details about what "annihilated" means, for a foreigner like me.

Already deleted not 15 mins after you made the post? Maybe someone took some screenshots. What was the J-10C up against in 2019's GH? J-16 and Su-35?
