Based on academic papers, the J-10B radar with IFF that we saw a few years back should have been an AESA.I'm pretty sure this doesn't belong to the J-10. We know what J-10's PESA looks like, and this is not it (missing the IFF antennas and the elements are arranged differently).
Yeah, I've seen that pic but I was thinking that with Chinese tech moving so fast, who knows? That could be an early version and this one an improved version, especially for J-10C. Pretty cool how fast things are moving. A few years back, China was still installing MSA on its top-end fighters and now, they've got PESA on their trainers.I'm pretty sure this doesn't belong to the J-10. We know what J-10's PESA looks like, and this is not it (missing the IFF antennas and the elements are arranged differently).
This is allegedly the L-15 PESA radar from Institute 607:
L-15. Forget to say in the original post or thought it was obvious and didn't need saying.I don't think that is the nose of flanker, it is too small and it is not hinged upward. Looked like L-15 or JL-9.
