J-10 Thread IV

[Biscuits]

If the WS-10C is at 145-147kN, then it would be comparable to the latest engines used in the Su-57?

Su-57 just uses the same engines as Su-35, of which China has. Despite this, they didnt opt for buying a license to mass produce the Al-41F1, which implies there is a merit in not using those.

No, it dies not! The Su-35 uses 2 × Saturn AL-41F1S (117S) engines, the Su-57 uses the AL-41F1 (117), which is not exactly the same.

A J-10C assigned to the 131st Air Brigade seen carrying the latest K/JDC03A FLIR/laser designation/targeting pod underneath the engine air intake. As far as I remember so far only the older K/JDC01A pod was clearly confirmed.

Anyone knows which radars the Pakistani J-10s are using and any idea about the specs? ty

Unfortunately not, just an IMO stupid and unrealistic fan-made artwork showing the rumoured J-10D.

I've never noticed this before, but did the twin seat J10s always had this big of a spine?
