Interesting mention of the KJ-500 - does PAF also need the KJ-500 to get the full benefit of the JF17 Block III and J10C combo for the PL-15 ? ( just a thought )

Just saw one ZDK-03 flying with J-10C today, it was supposed to support JF-17 as well. Not sure about how it works with PL-15 though, perhaps some upgrade needed if not already in progress.

Jian 20 sounds better than j20,j 20 kind of sounds like cheap samsung j series.

Difference between professional air force service man of the world's most powerful air force and BS AMRAAM dodger general who claims that Sukhois could spot J-20 from "kilometers away" is vast indeed.

Many people buy into Indians being good in maths and Indian brilliance hype due to their incessant self aggrandizing stemming from dunning kruger effect. Even though Indians are bottom tier in maths olympiads,pisa and Indian institutes ranks very low on global ranking.
Indians are easily some of the most delusional ,and many are too unintelligent to know their own flaws or understand what's right or wrong. Due to their incompetence ,their culture is scamming their way to glor. It's ingrained in Indian culture,genetics and psyche.

Not that the Indian claim should be taken seriously ,but what evidence is there that j20 was flying without luneberg lens ? At peace time,stealth fighter jets fly with luneberg lens. But to make up for incompetence and incapablity, indians have to run their big mouth to try and scam as much as possible.

Those ZDK-03 need an additional bidirectional data-link device to connet&guide the PL-15.

I heard that ZDK-03's were back to China for upgrade last year.

And if true again a surprise... IMO a two-folded one! :yahoo:

First if this image is legit and not again a faked one, the 56th Air Brigade assigned to the Central Theater Command based at Zhengzhou and currently flying J-10B & J-10AS seems to have gained its first J-20A.

... and second since I expected yet another Su-30MKK unit like the 54th or 85th AB to become the PLAAF's next unit to convert to the J-20A.

What do you think?

ZDK-03s are going to be upgraded but JF-17s sport Link-17s which is common on the Erieyes. So the primary asset is still the erieye system.

So far the targeting data being provided for PL-15s is not available and/or hasn’t satisfied requirements

Mean
Mean can be something 5th generation plus like 6th generation

Why Chinese will go for 3rd 5th generation when they know American are very close to 6th generation jets induction so they definitely focus on there 6th generation jet or atleast 5.5 th Gen these engine definitely will part of them

American are very close to 6th generation jets induction ? I don't think so.
China's 6th gen. development is not slow at all.
If there's a single WS-15 fighter project exist, I think it'll be Gen. 5.5, and will finally evolve to 6th Gen(low end). And there should be a high-end 6th gen. with dual engines.
