Hope this makes the J-10 fans happy:
Synopsis:
In a PLANAF exercise, Su-30s flown by the "Blue", or aggressor units, were the first to detect the "RED" J-10s. The Red J-10, however, were able to lock on to the Su-30 first, but the Su-30 countered by closing in the gap. When the J-10 got on the Su-30 tail in a dogfight, it shook the lock using electronic countermeasures.
Pretty exciting match.
I hope that J-10B with lesser RCS would be able to get closer before being detected. Also, if SU-30 is able to shake missile lock with ECM, then CAC needs to ensure that J-10 is able to do the same. But then the question is, what type of missile was it whose lock was shaken? If it was IR missile, then what good are ECMs once it is in the air? If it was a Radar guided, BVR sort, then what good was it being on SU-30's tail? Something does not seem right. Or perhaps I am missing something.
