Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

Hmm the maximum speed of J-10 is only mach 1.8? I always thought it was mach 2.

Max speed is always very secretive and subjective. For example, max speed at what level? China will never truly reveal the full or specific data.

Is there any clue as to chinese fighter aesa radar performance? It's there first generation so I wouldn't expect it to be the best.

The Chinese had AESA since 2003 onboard their KJ-2000.

Yeah but that's not fighter sized, and I was interested in any clue about performance.

PAF needs to manage it budget well. It is correct not to take J-10 but instead maximize its fund by going for a true 5th gen rather than 4.5th gen.

I would expect it to be on par Russian and American AESA radars ... but of course, no concrete figures.

The Chinese definitely shouldn’t export the J-10 due to the Russian engine. Otherwise, the exports will be complicated by the Russian middle man, like the JF-17. Until the J-10 is mass equipped with WS-10, I can hardly see any bright export prospects.

They can't be on par with both American and Russian radars, the performance difference between those two is pronounced.

Where do you get that idea from? Do you have concrete data to back your statement?
