    Maybe it is related to the fact that, on the 22nd of December, the basin in which the Type 003 is to be assembled has been cleared out. They're probably moving in the modules for assembly soon.

    JF-17 Block-3 -- Updates, News & Discussion

    J-10C, J-20, and possibly other Chinese platforms already employ HMD/S. There are a few export-oriented systems as well.

    No IRST? And do you have any credentials so that we know you're not just another one of us?

    JF-17 Block-3 -- Updates, News & Discussion

    Sorry, but no. The most impactful airframe changes will be invisible - i.e. more use of composite materials, strengthening of hardpoints, more 3D-printed pieces and single-construction airframe parts, etc. - rather than some hypothetical stealth shaping that will have zero impact on the...
