China Flanker thread

"ie" is short for "for example"

no. i.e. stands for "id est" -- Latin for "that is".

for example is e.g. -- "exampli gratia."

 

[ba12]

yep! ur right. my oversight

 

[Pointblank]

From my usage of "internet lingo", I always took "ie." to mean "including". I could be wrong.

I wasn't trying to make any kind of statement about the su-47, just using it as an example to show that the Russian can really, really stretch a design out. Now please stop being so annoying and trying to correct every post I make, you've taken every one the wrong way and I've had to write a new one explaining myself.

IMHO, it is my view that the fall of Communism and the resulting economic collapse of Russia has had a serious effect on creativeness of Russian engineers. They just keep recycling the same basic airframe over and over again.

Didnt mean to upset you here jeez sorry then. Thought you would like to know some information and correction for errors. Cause personally when Iam wrong about something I would like people to correct it so that I won't be learning or having wrong knowledge in my head. So yeah was only trying to help you out. Not to prove you wrong.

Back to the topic Flanker, we have seen footage of the J-10 but we still really haven't seen true official footage of the J-11 yet. Bit of a bummer really. But yeah J-11B another achievement strive of modernisation to add to the PLAAF.

Which missles can be used with this HMS?

Since j11a is integrated with r-73, i would expect that is the only missile being used with that hms.

Interesting, what makes you say that? Isn't the PL-8, which is now the standard SRAAM for the PLAAF, also slaved to the HMS now? IMO the R-73 outperforms the PL-8 in many areas, but I'm not saying it can't happen.

 

[crobato]

According to the manual, the R-27 can be used with the HMS. This makes me think that on planes that can use the R-77, the R-77 can be used with the HMS also.

I suppose it's possible to integrate PL-8/Python-3 with Russian HMS system, if you're willing to invest in the modification and system integration hardware/software.

The PLAAF have been taking steps to integrate Russian and Chinese munitions together into the HMS. And have done so effectively but it is only available in limited numbers currently. On the topic any news on the SD-10/PL-12??
