Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

J-10B are all upgraded to J-10C standard since they share fuselage. J-10A are all scrapped.
J-10A don't have the same fuselage as J-10B/C so these are getting replaced by J-10C.

Sorry to contradict and as it seems once again only a provocative post without any substance ... or please give any proof for this claim.

1. so far all delivered J-11Bs are still clearly visible as Bs in the known units ... as such "are upgraded" is definitely wrong

2. so far the only units which got J-10Cs instead of As were simply transferring these older models to other units, none so far was scrapped for your given reason of being "too old"

3. as all others mentioned: Why scrapping a decent few-years old fourth generation fighter when in parallel several hundreds of even much older and less capable J-7s and J-8s are operational?

Plain ridiculous! :hitwall::crazy:

The problem with this kind of design from an aerodynamic point of view would be the excessive supersonic drag from the bulging waist. This has serious area ruling problems with it. not that this design is real but an interesting concept nonetheless.
 
Well for some time I've been seeing rumors that Russia and China were on a race to modernize the IRIAF's fighter fleet. What do you guys think about that?
