J-10 Thread IV

But that would be e facto a new aircraft !

Your guess is as good as mine. :-/

"Pupu" did state that the J-10D might have drastic changes to improve its RCS. If Huitong is correct in saying that the J-10D will have LOAN nozzles, then it is very likely that RCS reduction methods have been applied elsewhere.

"Angadow" posted the following image with the opinion that a "stealthy" J-10 could improve the program's export prospects: (note that the image is only a user-made CG and not an official diagram)

LOAN nozzles sound okay, but the canards and horizontal stabilizers on the same aircraft?

Their might be a J-10D. A further improvement over the current J-10C. But its not going to be that plane shown in the image. That's a single seat stealth fighter. Even if that plane is going to be build it will likely not be called J-10.

J-10AS at Aviadarts: no. 61235 = 2nd Brigade ... so the former 1st Division, 2nd Regiment at Chifeng is now also a Brigade.

J-10B SEAD + YJ-91 ARM + K/RKL700A ECM + guidance pod

 

[Hendrik_2000]

Closeups by Longshi, the designation of ECM pod should be K/RKL700A.

Here is the result of Avidart. It is no surprise Su 35S beat J-10B JL10 is new aircraft so need more practice.But 3 to 3 not bad Plus of course China has J 20

Tournament Aviadarts: * Su-35S beat J-10B * Su-25SM beats JL-10 * JH-7A beats Su-34 * J-8DF beats Su-24MR * H-6K beats Tu-22 * 52 and Mi-28

But any results like 4:3 or 10:1 ??

The free fall bombs look so out of place. Wonder if the J10 could have carried another pair of YJ91s instead, and a belly tank for more endurance.

 

[Totoro]

The whole loadout is possibly just for show, and not intended to be a normal, combat mission loadout.
