China Flanker Thread II

[challenge]

one big problem about the first gen. of MFD is that the display is smaller than your notebook computer.one solution either bigger display panel or to display the information and data directly in your helmet.

I wonder why people freak out over posts like this. Earlier this year, WS-10A had problems which got resolved later, so they are now being equipped on J-11Bs.

J-11B + FWS-10 combination got a national award this year. Do you really think that would've happened if it's not finally certified?

I think you mean early 2009, and was resolved by late 2009?

They will never fix the WS-10 without an Iris nozzle. The old ejector nozzles they use will not achieve an acceptable performance that is required of a 15 tonne class engine.

The problem has already been resolved, one form or another, just a matter of time for visible confirmation of it.

i think if what you say is true armand, then Hu would already have those engineers he just handed the awards to executed, though i havent see any of those in the news so i'll believe what tphuang says for now.

Armand, welcome to the real world!

Cough, you guys should check out all the funny stuff Armand says about anything Chinese on Indian defence forum to get a grip on his mentality.

I agree with tphuang.

Similar to tphuang's post about the updates on Scramble.nl for the J-7 & J-10 regiments I tried something similar with the Su-27SK/J-11 units ... and again there seem to be some changes:


Current Su-27SK / J-11 operators for all versions:

11x2x 1. Div / 1. Rgt Anshan Shenyang MR - J-11B (mentioned is also a maybe second gegiment 10x2x)
11x3x 2. Div / 4. Rgt Liuzhou Guangzhou Military Region - Su-27SK / J-11 (!!?)
16x3x 2. Div / 6. Rgt Suixi Guangzhou MR - Su-27SK / J-11
10x7x 6. Div / 140. (??) Rgt Yinchuan Lanzhou MR - Su-27SK / J-11
11x8x 7. Div / 19. (??) Rgt Zhangjiakou Beijing MR - J-11 but maybe now J-10
20x5x 14. Div / 41. + 42. Rgt Nanchang-Xiangtang Nanjing MR - Su-27SK / J-11
30x0x 19. Div / 55. Rgt Jining Jinan MR - Su-27SK / J-11
4xx0x 29. Div / 85. Rgt Quzhou Nanjing MR - J-11A (!!))
40x4x 33. Div / 97. Rgt Chongqing / Baishiyi Chengdu MR - Su-27SK / J-11

-- 1. Test Flight Rgt / SAC Shenyang-Beiling - J-11 all versions

In contrast (!!) to the previous allocation:

1. Division — Anshan
2. Division — Suxi, Zhanjiang (!!)
6. Division — Yinchuan
7. Division — Zhangjiakou (!!)
14. Division — Zhangshu (!!)
19. Division — Zhengzhou (!!)
33. Division — Baishiyi, Jiulongpo District


Any comments ?!

Cheers, Deino

FWS-10 is not a 15 tonne class engine and they have solved the problems on it from what we can see.


Nice list Deino, I'm a little surprised on the 11x8x regiment. Worth keep an eye on if Scramble is right on this. They've been pretty good in the past.

Apparently, SAC purposely field those engineless J-11B in the field to grandstanding or embarrass, Shenyang Liming, SAC's partner.

SAC trying to show that it's fulfilling its job and mission, but what's holding back is Liming. Therefore this showing would indicate to PLA its Not SAC , the one slacking.

I saw a few pics from Chinese website labeling as the J-15 prototype which was confirmed first test flight last yr. I don't know whether those pics are legit.
