I have a question. Do J-10Cs frequently carry SPJ pods like the KJ-600 or is the on board EW suite good enough to not necessitate carrying such pods?
 
. . . . .
By accident I typed KJ-600 instead of KG-600, my bad :meeting:

SPJ = Self Protection Jammer
I'm just citing from Chinese wikipedia, nothing was mentioned in regard to J10C but I assume it can carry same external pods like J10B. I don't know what is KG800, could be a more powerful pod than KG600.

KG800机载自卫干扰吊舱 literally translated as KG800 self-defense jammer pod. So SPJ it is.

Pods carried by J10B:-
1. OC5 Laser designator pod
2. YS3 Day-Night targeting pod
3. KG800 self-defense electronic counter meausre pod



  • 外挂吊舱 External Pods
    • J-10/10A:
KG600机载自卫干扰吊舱
KZ900机载侦查吊舱
OC5激光照射吊舱
    • J-10B:
OC5激光照射吊舱
鹰隼3昼夜瞄准调仓
KG800机载自卫干扰吊舱

But at least the KG800 - which is a massive pod - wasn't seen so far on any J-10. Similar that KZ900 pod we've haven't seen yet

Agreed. I think PLAAF is not equiping these pods for J10B/C.

As to why these pods are listed in Chinese wikipedia, I made a check and found that during the 2016 Zhuhai airshows, a J10B was on a static display, and a lot of missiles, bombs and pods were put in display for this aircraft. Obviously the person who made the Chinese wikipedia entrey was based on the items sighted for J10b static display.

Among the pods on display for J10B were KG800, YingS-III ( which I earlier translated as YS3) and OC5 pod. In high probability PLAAF are not using them for J10B/C, but the static display in 2016 Zhuhai airshow might indicate J10B's capability to carry them despite their large size.

Items displayed at Zhuhai airshows are meant for export thus PLAAF J10B/C may not equiped with them.

Photos from 2016 Zhuhai Airshow, missiles, bombs and pods for J10B.
