One thing I've noticed is that WS-10's nozzle also darken with use. Compare the nozzles from those with air superiority camo, which arrived a year earlier, with this one.

What makes it so special? It’s so effing delicious that’s what.

For those in the know: who is doing engine maintenance for J-10C right now? PAF personnel or support staff from Chengdu?

Not to go off topic too much but how is the efficacy gauged? Through live fire trials against target drones or something else?

The thing about scorpions is that the larger they are, the less venomous they are. It will probably hurt like a mother but you should be okay otherwise.

Ptolemaic Dynasty was founded by one of the conquering generals of Alexander the Great. They practiced incest between brothers and sisters to maintain a “divine bloodline”, so Cleopatra most likely was not black. They were not native Egyptians.

April Fool’s joke.

J-10C pilot won Golden Helmet 2022.

That explains why the follow up orders weren’t covered. Either way 240 PL-15 missiles is a non-trivia amount of AAMs.

I find it amusing that the reaction here, instead of outrage at the fact that state secrets got leaked, is either "we got a good deal" or "we got ripped off".

Is the parade cancelled or postponed? If cancelled then why are new rehearsal photos coming out?

At the rate things are going Shaheds will have more kills than the Su-35.
