Finally managed to do the exercise I have been meaning to do and I am surprised with the answer I have. There is more space on the JF-17 for the twin SD-10s than on the J-10. There is about 2m on the J-10 and about 2.5m on the JF-17/FC-1. I.e. If they fit on the J-10, they should fit on the...

Not multi-rack

If a camera, it may make sense as they it could be they are filming the refuelling process as part of (1) development (2) training videos to give the receiving plane's view. In the vid, around 20:45 the light for night re-fuelling is on.

I have to agree Deino, as much as I have posted the above link, the KD-88H should be slightly larger in dia meter and also have the even larger wings

Going through the video here, you can see from 2P18 to 2P28 on the assembly floor. I take it in the next month or so we should see 2P30 which will have IFR. 2P28 ( @7:24 ) 2P27 ( @ 8:38 )

http://chinese-military-aviation.blogspot.co.uk/p/fighters-ii.html#FC-1 suggests/suspects it is "a new IIR guided ASM similar to Chinese KD-88H"

No. That is J-10

2P28 at initial assembly stage. Towards the end 21.27 you can see 2P21. Also 2P18 somewhere in there so there are at least 10 planes in different stages of assembly. Also 2P27

Thanks. How close to the JF-17 project is your friend? i.e. just to have a "feel" of reliability.

Where does it say that?

It is photoshoped. Below is not that original photo, but the same plane and the photos taken seconds apart as the plane was taxing

What are the target countries for the JF-17? What do the neighbours/potential adversaries operate? Zimbabwe has South Africa (Gripens), Botswana (Gripens and/or KIA FA-50), Angola (Su-30), Namibia (negotiating for J-10s). Tanzania has Kenya (test flown F-16 and maybe go for F-15s to counter...

Two beautiful birds. Some filming/photography kit in the background. When should we expect the documentary? If indeed a documentary, I expect the lady killer (beauty) to be a killer (deadly fighter pilot). I think she is the real thing. Just seen the post that she is an actress!

The original Rd-93 deal was about $2m to $2.5m per engine. That is 10% of the cost of Fc-1. Now, the 2 x Rd-33 will cost $4-5m. I.e. About the same 10%. The upfront costs of engines are a minor cost

I know but you will be adding weight. By weight, under pressure a rectangular tank will deform first/more. The calculation was to demonstrate that for a given volume of tank (how many litres it can hold), the cylinder is lighter and uses less material. I had looked at that MK. However, this...
