Can J-8 supercruise?

The only thing I wonder, is if the J-10's could overcome some of the high AOA maneuvers of the Su-27's. I don't know much about J-10 maneuverability, but Su-27 has done impressive things in air demo's. I think it would be brutal to fight in short-range combat with one.

as I've posted many times before, most people who watched those 2 planes together said that J-10 has much better manuverability. This was even stated by a plaaf official.

if suhkoi had been competing the fighters, they would most likely claim the su-27 had better performance.

Sukhoi is better at advertising and distorting/exagerrating facts than even the slyest of American big buisnesses. It would claim that the Su-27 has better performance than the F-22. And it is unlikey that a one-engine plane could outperform a two-engine one, though the J-10 is probably more agile and manuevable.
