J-10 Thread IV

[Deino]

It is an audio, I know that is not a proof. But the speaker has a high credibility in the past, that's enough to make me seriously considering the possibility.

But where is this audio, where was it posted, who was the speaker and why is he credible? Based on my experience at the PDF we here have a slightly higher standard on credibility

Read my PM.

I don't understand why would such a statement, made by anyone, have to be secretive.

If they are leaking secretive information and don't want to get into trouble?

There is no connection to the data cable, so those points are used for moving shorter "dumb" weapons (than drop tanks) forward for aerodynamic consideration.

the inner hardpoints connected to wing tanks are way behind the leading edges of wings, where data cables are embedded.

I forgot to ask something. Where have you seen the J-10's schematics, specifically how the cables are routed through the wings? How did you gain access to this classified information? Do you or have you worked for the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute? If so, did you work on the J-10 project? Do you or have you worked for an affiliated entity of AVIC? What's your educational background? What's your security clearance?

Or were you making &*@! up again?!

Probably way funnier shooting rockets on target than a guided bomb or missile... and way better for training the stick handling of aircraft ! Someone have an up to date chart of flying hours for Chinese fighters pilots ?

Need to look at the canopy to tell a J-10S from a J-10A. In the picture, the fourth plane's opened canopy reveals J-10S.

Who said anything about J-10S? How does J-10S even figure into this conversation?

The original poster thought those where J-10Bs or J-10Cs at first glance because the nose cones appear grayish, but then he noticed the lack of IRST and also their HUDs don't match. I then replied that based on the pitot tubes on the nose cones, those aren't J-10Bs/Cs because they don't have those long pitot tubes.

So who said anything about J-10S? Nobody said anything about J-10S! It was never about J-10S!

Dude, seriously, what is going on in your head? It must never be boring in there.

Not until he disappears permanently.

He's been absent since September 1st. Knock on wood.
