Chinese Air Force (PLAAF) News & Discussions

[hk299792458]

Thanks a lot and even if I only had time for a brief cross-reading I already admire and applause it. More when I'm thru with a translation; French is really not my best ... quite similar to Chinese.

Anyway I was looking for a summary on Chinese WIGs since years ... chapeau !

Thanks again and keep on Your work.

If you have any question, just leave a comment to Bruno under his post. He is far more "expert" than me in some topics.

Somethime we don't need to be chinese to learn more on their projects.

Of cos, you can read and understand Chinese is a different thing. But w/o knowing a single word of Chinese and try to claim to be expert or deep understanding in analyzing Chinese military development is BS in my opinion.

Chinese SU-34 on the making?

glad to see it has the PAK FA style canards. I wonder what makes the engineers decide to not include DSI intakes though

Does anyone know what's this store under the JH-7A's (the one on the right in front) wings ???

IMO it looks not like an AGM - like the KD-88 on the one behind - or the KG600 ECM-pop (which is usually carried outside) ... a new EW-pod, some sort of gliding JSOW weapon ??

Sir, it is KG-600, as far as I can see. Shown with JF-17 in Zhuhai Airshow as well as being spotted on display with J-10B at the same Airshow.

 

[Deino]

Thanks for Your reply but I think the KG600 is much slimmer, smaller and lighter and usually carried on the AAM-pylon on the wings.

Well, IMO (I may be wrong) but J-10 is in AA mode that carrying AAM on external pylon while the POD is shifted to the inner pylon (I think it depends on the role that AC flies and holds the POD). Also, in below pictures, the POD is showing the side inlet thing pointed backwards, displayed with JFT and the same can be noticed on JH-7A (your post # 1346) wing pylon while the POD with J-10B is placed with side inlet thing pointed to forward or may be it is wrongly placed but in your last quoted post #1348, the same side inlet thing is again pointing forward.
