All the usual PLA watching sources on Weibo are talking about it implying it was J-15T, for example:

1) Since it is a 4.5th-gen jet with a larger RCS, I figure they might not have focused as much on the LPI, instead prioritizing a reliable, high-quality track over longer distances.

As per the manufacturer, the GaN antennas on both the F-16 Özgür (MURAD-100A) and the Kizilelma (MURAD-200A), which recently launched a BVRAAM, are basically the same. However, the improved LPI performance required by the Kizilelma is apparently enough to justify granting it another code representing a capability leap. Could this be the same case here?

2) A more likely possibility is that, since this incident occurred at close range, the signals are stronger, making it easier for the RWR to pick them up.

IndiGO cancels more than 1000 flights in a matter of hours as the new Indian government rules for lesser working hours kicked in. Thousands of passengers are upset. Government and IndiGo blame each other for the crisis.


The Indian government have put out new rules to reduce pilot working hours to improve safety. However, IndiGo couldn't or wouldn't comply to the new rules until it came into effect. So now they are short 935 pilots and 205 first officers to fly their current flight schedule under the new ruling. Therefore, the only feasible way forward for Indigo is to cancel flights. Knowing Supapowar India, this kind of administration fiasco doesn't surprise me.

Japanese should feel a bit relieved, at least Chinese let them know they were fire-locked. If Chinese sent this, Japs wouldn't even know how they died. :cool:

Yeah, I'd call this a courtesy radar lock. Otherwise it could be a PL-15 guided by datalink, japs die without knowing what hit em

Let's not pretend world politics ever had a single shred of morality to it from the get go. It's all just leverage and gains. China is no different. I don't see why China has to lose on softpower and profit due to some people's subjective sense of moral superiority.
This is something that always catches barbarians with their primitive morals off guard. In primitive cultures, if one is powerful then surely one will take what they want from the weak, and if one is moral then surely one will be selfless, it follows then that if one is not selfless then they must not be moral -> if they're not moral then they must want to steal -> if they don't steal then they must be weak.

China follows a simple principle, one that's proven to be optimal in game theory: you don't fuck with us, we don't fuck with you, if you fuck with us, you get fucked. China is moral because China doesn't rape and pillage the weak when its powerful, and China is also moral because China will always fuck up its enemies without mercy nor forgiveness, even if its weak and has to wait a century. It's the last part that catches barbarians off guard, barbarians who only understand strength and simple right-wrong morality.

China does not fuck with the west because China is strong, China fucks with the west because the west has fucked with China, and China didn't become the oldest civilization in history by taking prisoners. See, China also figured out the solution to the problem of "an eye for an eye leaves the world blind", China takes two eyes for an eye.

Western industry was built on colonialism, and China will leave no survivors.

It's only some bureaucratic delays, Chinese officials just want to ensure that J gets the best quality rare earth materials

China accounts for 70% of global rare earth production, but export procedures to Japanese companies are delayed. Deteriorating Japan-China relations are blamed for "shaking things up."​

Its cute they think its only delayed.

There is a fundamental misunderstanding on China’s part as to what they think a state visit is for and what westerners think it’s for. To China, these visits are typically thought of as reinforcing and expanding relationships and friendships with other countries. An opportunity to bond. For westerners, these visits are only pomp and circumstance to demonstrate their own importance in front of their own populace and the rest of the world and maybe and opportunity to enact or pry out some kind of advantage whilst in the host country. Parasitic thinking. Should China start considering more the perspective of who they are dealing with and adjusting more instead of trying to push through “win-win” type offers that will always get taken advantage of and never reciprocated?
