I am referring to 2nd AAM pylon with PL-11...
and some how those pictures are not related to PAF.

No matter how good J10 turn out to be, it would be arriving too late for pakistan i.e 2014-15+

^ Pakistani J-10 will b considerably different from current J-10. Just look at J10B. I think Pakistan is waiting for Chinese engine and AESA radar.

well the one you posted here does not look like the one shown in the previous post,,
there the front wings are slightly slanted backwards while the one you posted have a perfect delta,,
anyhow with FC20 a justified topic of debate for PAF we may not neglect the weapons that might come along!!!

This below pic may give a better Idea of what PL-11 looks like.

@ Wild Peace

Please mention your source and provide links as well. Next please fix the links of pics in your Stealth post. It must be JPG in file extension instead of jpgr.

Done. Images available there. Enjoy.


Long live Pakistan ever ....................

What is RCS of J-10B? Any source any one. I think i must be close to F-16's.

What is RCS of J-10B? Any source any one. I think i must be close to F-16's.

The 01/1031 prototype of the new J-10B was unveiled in March 2009, 3 months after its maiden flight in December 2008. This much improved variant features a DSI/bump engine inlet which not only cuts weight but also reduces RCS, after a similar design was first tested onboard FC-1/JF-17. The aircraft also features a J-11B style IRST/LR and a wide-angle holographic HUD. IRST enables passive detection of enemy aircraft, making J-10B more stealthy in combat. Its nose appears flatter too, similar to that of American F-16, and radar is thought to be PESA which is still under development (of Russian origin?), the first of such type ever being developed for a Chinese fighter aircraft, giving J-10B a stronger multi-target engagement and ECCM capability. Two large ECM pods are attached under the wings. The tip of vertical tailfin was redesigned as well, featuring a large fairing containing communication and ECM antennas, which resembles that of French Mirage 2000. A rear facing MAWS sensor can be seen underneath the parachute boom. A similar system was tested onboard FC-1/JF-17 as well. All these improvements suggest that J-10B is equipped with a new generation of integrated electronic system, ranging from radar to EW system. The aircraft thus serves likely as a testbed for various advanced avionics onboard the 4th generation J-14 (see below). Its mission may be changed from air-superiority to multi-purpose, such as AG or EW. In addition, the aircarft is expected to be powered eventually by an indigenous WS-10A turbofan. Overall J-10B is thought to be comparable to American F-16E/Block 60.

it might be less than F16 due to DSI

i highly dough it.

we all know that J-10A is at most only comparable to F-16 block 42 so i dont expect such a dramatic change from J-10A to B that it is worth comparable to block 60! unless Pakistan can find what it needs from european market FC-20 can be turned into a very capable MRCA!

But still there is no RCS figure is given in this article about J-10B. As far as being comparable to F-16 Block 60 is concerned well, I will only consider it comparable to Block 60 if it also has an AESA like Block-60. Other than that I don't think Chinese know much about Block 60 neither we know much about J-10B.

Why would some one tell about RCS figure? c'mon i was n't expecting this
PAF will be acquiring FC-20 with AESA sir so it is not a problem and yes Chinese would know as much about the BL-60 as US about J-10B or J-11B so the comparison is generally on the bases of features and similarities in real sense no two planes can be compared do they?
