No, @siegecrossbow is right. The 2021 international Aviadarts fixed-wing competition categories (involving weapons) are air-to-surface only. There is no dogfighting component. Russia does hold a domestic precursor competition –– referred to as the All-Army stage –– to select participants for the international Aviadarts competition, and dogfights may be carried out during this domestic competition, as it was the case for the 2019 All-Army games.
Before you post something, please verify what you want to say is true. You don't have to end up being correct, but at least do some basic research beforehand. Put the horse before the cart. Thank you.

J-10As now refitted with AESA?! Let's go with the J-10Bs and the early J-11s too!
Why be sad about that? Seems like a good move to get much increased capability from existing airframes.
Wonder if it is the air cooled version. Liquid cooled AESA requires significant amount of additional plumbing that makes it hard to integrate without overhauling existing airframe.
That said this is a welcome move since all of Taiwan’s F-16 fleet has been upgraded to the V standard. J-10S trainers also need upgraded radars to properly train J-10C pilots. I can’t help but wonder if the yellow primer J-10S we saw with WS-10 engine a few days ago also uses the same radar.
PS it is indeed air cooled version. Says so on the radar cover. Did they seriously think that by editing out a few letters we can’t figure out what the original text was saying?
