J-10 Thread III (Closed to posting)

[Franklin]

Based on these photo's we can say that the J-10B is in production.

3 confirmed J10Bs, 1 more very probable, in two different assembly halls at the same time. Yes, I think that is a very good indication that the J10B is in serial production. I would expect that we will soon see the first J10B regiment.

This pic should put end of the talk if J-10B radar is canted or not.

try to enlarge the picture, it seem's to me that J-10B use complete different AESA radar.one can also notice radar LRU.
the last picture of J-10B AESA radar appear in web was back in 2011.design very similar to phozotron AESA for Mig-35,but this look different.it look like it adapted linear array similar to APG-80 or RBE-2 .
this allow higher T/R mmic density in the main antenna.and unable to see clearly if the radar antenna embedded with IFF.

There was debate on the matter? It was pretty clear from the offset that the J10B has a canted radar as evidenced by the radome and the earlier leaked picture of a J10B without its radome.

J-10 Mixed Load with New Missile

 

[mack8]

Not sure if that's new (as in training round for a new missile), that's either an ACMI pod or like i said a training round for PL-8 with just the seeker head. Imo anyway.

Yepp this is the new KXD-2 ACMI-pod for PL-8-launchers ... and there's a similar one called KXD-P73 for R-73-launchers on the Flanker series.

Do we have pictures of 7th batch under production?
