No cruise missiles with the package?

^^^ Maybe a bit too big for the J-10, seems like JH-7 and J-11 is for that role.

Varyag with what seems like smoke comming out of the stack. Still waiting for more pics to confirm if this is real.

btw perhapse we should make this one sticky too? Just seems a bit unfair to let a 111 page thread slip away into the background.

Hope that it wasn't just arsonists setting fire to the Varyag (just kidding).

If this were true it would mean that an engine has been installed, wouldn't it?

????????????????????????????

According to this piece of news PLA have unveiled a new type of vehicle that can turn and rotate on the spot and suitable for maneuvering in tight space - Like in the hanger of aaircraft carrier.

Pics below. What are you guys opinions? To me the vehicle loos a bit small and underpowered. Then again this design might be what they need for the less spacious Varyag.

From the looks of it it is just a prototype so I really don't expect it to do any heavy lifting. I suspect that they are using this vehicle as a testing platform for the gimmicky wheels.

It also seems to be electric unlike the normal tractors which means it might be less powerful

Model of the cancelled J-9 project:

Model of the cancelled J-13:

Early test model: (fuselage looks like early J-8s)

Below 1st pic Anjian combat UAV, second seems like a manned version.
Wonder if this is the 6th gen plane model. If so it seems to be lower tech than 5th gen but more flexible.

Then again according to one blogger china does not show it's own wares so these models may be something already investigated but not adopted designs.

Apparently lots of experiments on different aircraft type has been done since early times. Unlike the US, China was relatively poor until recent time and many models remain at the wind tunnel stage and not prototypes (control/system also lacking). However, useful things learned are archived away and can be taken out and applied when technology and 'timing' is right.

According to several Chinese reports, the main heavy UCAV in the PLAAF are:
- Thunderbolt UCAV
- Dark Sword UCAV
- Combat Eagle UCAV

All of these UCAVs are jet-powered.

The Thunderbolt UCAV is officially entering service in 2010. It resembles the Global Hawk.

The Dark Sword UCAV already developed and is currently in testing, service time expected in a few years.

The Combat Eagle UCAV started development in 1994 and made its first flight in 2002. It is comparable to the X-47B.

That's all the dates information I could extract from the
reports.

yeah,it's really crazy that they launched two SKK in the last month
后面那艘是RMB改无疑，前面那艘貌似现在争论还比较大。。。
