... + the K/JDC01A targeting pod

View attachment 423474 View attachment 423475

For a single seater J-10 with those human-in-the-loop missiles, it must be very physically and even psychologically demanding for the pilot to handle targeting together with flight control at the same time.

Indeed and maybe therefore You rarely see the LGB together with the pod. Maybe one for target designation and the wingman is for dropping the bomb.

Until the time the Chinese security staffs decide to declassify the J-10C, we will have to continue to work around with these type of just enough and not too much J-10C's shot about its engine. I believe what those bigshrimps believe that J-10c is using WS-10B, thus makes it different from J-10B.

Oh these fan boys !!!

Come on. If You use a blurred image and even more don't get Your markings correctly then You come to a conclusion that is only wrong.

Just look at the nozzles and how they look like ... nothing more to say.

Hi ; No disrespect to you but

Thanks and why do You think it should be disrespectful?

Difficult to say, I was always fascinated on China; most of all its culture, its history and especially Chinese food but that virus stuck me I think when the first rumours appeared, China would build a new fighter during the 1980s which was said to be a Lavi-clone.

And when I saw the first clear image it was clear from the beginning it was not a clone. Maybe a related development - to no surprise - but it was much larger, had a different layout in details and uses not that tiny US-engine but a true monster (then), the AL-31F.
And while I then read all that BS about this ... I began to research, to collect and cross-check and my interest also in other cancelled projects grew larger and larger.

And hey ... now here I am.

Maybe just to add a third point: IMO China has the chance - and I still hope the hope - to establish some sort of third way beside the Western-lead Capitalism and the old Eastern block Communism .... but time will tell esp. since managing or leading such a huge country with more than 1 Billion peoples is a completely different issue.

Thank you sincerly from my heart.

China is looking for the third way, or she has to.

In the past 100 years, to make China strong and rich country, Chinese learned Capitalism and Communism from the western world. Right now, China is testing both separately or mixed in the vast land, but with confusion.

During 1940s, when Song Wencong, the designer of J-10, saw Chinese civilians atacked by the Japan bombers, he swear to design a good fighter to protect the people against invaders. In 2016, he passed away when the stealth fighter J-20 based on his theory is entering service. People like him make China strong.

However, the mission is only half done. China is now strong, but still not as rich as western world.

I really hope, as you hope, that China can work out her own answer.

Just off topic once.

Many countries are more socialist than China, in Malaysia, we pay 1 Ringgit (US 25 cents) for visiting a government hospital doctor. A skull drilling surgery plus one week hospitalisation for stroke patient was 800 plus Ringgit (US Dollar 200) in government hospital, as in my mother's case.

We are in many ways far more socialist because the government bear most of the medical costs, and sudsidy for cooking gas, electricity etc.

On the other hand it easily cost tens of thousands US dollars for similar surgery in China because government hospitals are now managed in capitalist manner. To me China economy and every thing as well is capitalist, except the politics and government is still socialist, I won't even call them communist ( as akin to Stalinist).
