I'm no Flanker-expert, but it seems like pitot-tubes, they are used to retrive different data from the air, and are instrumental in determining the aircrafts speed. They probably could be some kind of antennas or arrays also, but I still think they are pitot tubes. Anyone who has any other opinions/facts?

Re: PLAAF Pic Thread 2

another kanwa article, talked about the status of Mi-17 and Mi-171 and the possible launching of Z-10. It looks like low volume production will start in 2006.

Re: PLAAF Pic Thread 2

I dont either, but it sure looks intresting...anyone care to translate that text part??

Although one cannot be 100% sure but it doesent look like BS, at least in its regular form were bored computer geegs try to fool around whit us, but an article posted pic that seems to be real. And like i have said before, I trust in some aspects to those who work on journalistic and And exept some level of truthfullness in their writings... (whic means that i dont buy it completely, but more likely over some teeneagers counterarguments posted on some internet board)

Re: PLAAF Pic Thread 2

I can't really make out the words, but it says CAC has a new breakthrough. And apparently, that fighter is the new breakthrough.

Apparently, this is from PLA's newspaper according to the Chinese forum this is posted from.
This could be anything, no idea what this is.
