The fist plane has another one behind it I guess.

It is the same plane. It is the same pic just the second one is PS. I think I need 10 minutes to move from the frist pic top the second... If these alterations are that difficult then I wonder what people look at

Waiting for more pics cause sofar onle one was impressive.

what you have pointed out is a very obvious cheap PS job... however the very first pic of this thread and this one
are real thing.

I think this and two other pics others are probably the real pics. The strange idea for not straight pitot tube is understandable : if they want to meassure high AOA data... But I would not do it this way. Maybe it is the cheapest way.

That the plane flies is not a suprise... But they want to know how it behaves on different AOA with this DSI. Expect that the design will be altered later. Personally I do not think that this is the best version yet so I am looking forward to the practical improvements.

About the radar... I bet this plane has no radar in it now.

So did we finally conclude that there is a possibility some of these pics of J-10B aren't all bullsh** ?

Just as a friendly request, if more pictures of J-10B or C are leaked please post them to this thread as well as the J-10 official thread.

The DIS definitely looks more realistic IMO - but that IRST still looks like an ice cream cone that got slapped on, and the tapered end of the IRST looks like its creeping up the windshield a bit ...

sir g.... the IRST on FC-20 is on the right side like on the new flanker family such as MKI and as far as i know, the cone is only there to give some aerodynamics to the actual IRST sensor which appears to be the gray part on new FC-20 pic.

Although it could happen to anyone and any plane, it is a stark reminder that Russian Engines are not as reliable as western ones. PAF has had reservations about this annd this news has justified its stand.
