What do you gents think of these J-10 pictures? Are they real? I'm just asking because I cannot tell..

Here's a link to the flash player where I got them.

They sure do look very fake.

They sure do look very fake.

I thought so, but then found this was also carried by the official Xinhua news (see link below, total four pages and five pictures, said taken during a re-fueling drill in southern China sea):

They either fake, or were taken with a very, very good camera.

huitong seems to think they're real, he put them up on his site.

Looks very professional, so I guess they're official Xinhua.

Aviation File: J-10 First Flight!

Test Pilot Lei Qiang: I first felt, this plane is better than all the advanced foreign fighters that I had flown.

What advance generation of foreign fighter has he flown before? Su-27/Su30MKK and more??

What do you gents think of these J-10 pictures? Are they real? I'm just asking because I cannot tell..

The first one looks real to me, the second one has some blurred/jagged outter edges, so I'm not too sure about that one.

I've examined both pics and those posted in the flash player. I think they have been photo shopped. Blurry edges on the aircrafts photos. Good effort but they FAILED.

That being stated >>> I do not doubt the ablity of PLAAF J-10 pilots to re-fuel in air.

Agree with T-U-P, the background of the second picture is not the original but the aircraft themselves are real cropped from another photograph.
