China Flanker Thread II

[franco-russe]

this is kind of off topic, but they transferred some of the Ka-28s to NSF recently. Those will probably join the first carrier born aviation force.

Staying somewhat off topic, you were probably thinking of the official pictures of ”Ship-borne helicopters of the aviation force under the North Sea Fleet carried out the collaborative anti-submarine drills in the Yellow Sea” that escobar posted in the PLAN Photos thread http://www.sinodefenceforum.com/world-military-pictures/plan-photos-33-2022.html:

It is seen that at least three KA-28PL (9224, 9254, 9264) have migrated from Ningbo-Zhuangqiao to Qingdao-Licang, home of NSF’s 2 Naval Avn Div 5 Regt (ex 6 Ind Naval Avn Regt), mixing with Z-8J and Z-9C.

Well Gentlemen, any word on the J-15s preparing to blast off for the Mother Ship?? brat

J-16 at Yanliang Test Center

NICE ... and look it has the new short range AAM (even if it looks a bit different to the PL-10 we saw at the J-20 !)

Is there anything out there to confirm that the J-16 has a AESA radar ?

not sure, to small to be SRAAM,appear to be some sort of sensor link dog fight simulation.

No ... at least I'm almost sure ... it has the same appearance as the new AAM we saw mounted on the J-31 model.

Hui Tong has an interesting update! J-16 carrying PL-10 AAM -

...Since spring 2013 the 1603 prototype has been seen undergoing tests at CFTE, carrying a PL-10 AAM.

Edit: Oopps... looks like I am very late to the party. But, i'll keep this post

during the 2012 zhuhai airshow,SAC spokeman told janes,that in the future,they intend to upgrade the J-11,15 and 16 with AESA.

J-15 under production.My guess is that J-15 like j-11 and j-16 may adapt swashplate for AESA antenna.this allow the radar to tile sideway for higher angle tracking.
