When will AESA be installed?

CHINA J10 PESA

How do you know it is PESA? I don't see any tag?

Here you can read some good explanations as well as rantings.

The antenna is not an indicator that it is PESA.

Damn!
IMO
Maybe bcz the cost of AESA is too high at present . ....PESA is cheaper and easier to use ........

 

[wangwei11607]

PESA very embarrassed?

Compared with the PD radar

This is still progress

This is also why I think the J-10 will never get TVC. The J-10 is meant like everything else in the PLA to be most effective for the amount of money, it costs. In an air war against the US over the Taiwan straits (most challenging scenario, the air force is likely to face), it is much better to have 300 PESA, non-TVC J-10s than 175 AESA, TVC J-10s.

It doesn't make hardware fans very happy but that's not what war is about.

Those in the center are inconsistent in size.

Now, is it possible that one J-10B was used as a testbed for various radars, and in this case, a PESA?

The fact that it is still in its yellow primer (when other J-10Bs are in PLAAF grey) indicates that it might not be a production aircraft.

So can you guys finally put your rant on how J-10B will be a Typhoon/Rafale equivalent to rest? If I were you, I'd wait for another 7 years before speculating on any Chinese plane surpassing their European counterpart.

Food for thought: How old will you be in 7 years?

Looks pretty consistent.

8 red points

8 antennas

But buck up, an AESA makes much more sense on the J-20 and I'm sure it will have it.
