Old news. This has been going on for some years already.

Old news. This has been going on for some years already.

They‘ve been installed on production aircraft since last year but only entered service this year. So many were produced that they caused a clutter at the CAC factory, prompting some losers to speculate that there were quality issues with the domestic engines. Guess that rumor has been put to rest now.

USAF's F-16 also doesn't choose CFT, and it is just for export.
PLAAF makes the same choice.

USAF did not because of aar capability range is not an issue while most of foreign af need range

Cft of f-16 were introduced to compete Israeli requirements which f-15 and f-16 were pitched and iaf went with f-15

Cft will do better then carrying hunged drop tanks with drag

But then f-6 gondola tanks was also not successful only few were modified not sure why perhaps thrust to weight ratio went down

J10 has mirage 3/5 style drop tank attachment without huge pylon compared to traditional style like f-16 and Jf17 where a huge pylon is used to hung drop tanks with the wing

WS-10H is a variant specially designed against sea corrosion for usage at the sea. So it is meant for J-15.
