J-10 Thread IV

[siegecrossbow]

Good going, finally, the bottleneck seems to have been overcome. Chengdu is pumping out tens of J-10 a year. Next stop, success in the export market.

Guizhou os taking over from Chengdu. Production will be solely focusing on J-20 going forward.

是的，但是您的两个 BVRAAM 看起来好像都在使用，而且如果您只有 BVRAAM 而不是 4，那么您将无法或不想战斗。

写在这里，有双 PL15s 在有双上的照片吗？

Is the PL-10's seeker covered? That's weird. Maybe it's just a low res picture effect.

I’ve seen a few other pics lately of PL-10s with apparently non-transparent seeker. Not sure if it’s due to the missile being training rounds (which are blue imo, so a bit unlikely) or if the seeker head is just designed to be opaque

I think training IIR missiles still have seekers to lock on to the targets during training dogfights. So this may just be an updated version of the seeker glass that isn't transparent... sunglasses for missiles I guess.

Just a cool image. Nothing more.

When the J-35 gets the go-ahead for mass production, would Shenyang also be solely focused on the J-35 production line as well?

Since I could see the enormous benefits of focusing and specializing one one single aircraft model, with effeiciency and speed of pumping out fighter jets being massively improved.

I doubt they will stop J-16 production any time soon.
Perhaps they should consider moving J-16 production to wherever in Xian they made the JH-7.
