Part 3 of the J-20 topic starts here. Part 2 was here Interesting close-up pic posted on CDF by Deino...

That has some interesting implications for what H-20 may end up looking like... It'll sure be interesting if B-21 and H-20 both come out with similar planform Where'd you find that picture from btw?

I want to ask a question about when the J-10 programme first became known publically in the West, as well as the contentious issue of the possible Lavi connection, even if it is simply cosmetic, and hope that Deino perhaps can give some clarity on this. When were the first rumours of the J-10...

Hi everybody, It seemed we did not have any clearly identifiable thread on this subject yet. Now we do. Project 0901 is a national endeavor -- not to be confused with project 0902 (Fusion) -- and seems to broadly cover anything related to high-speed scramjet research for the purpose of flying...

Trying to nuke someone on Earth from the moon would be about as inefficient as you could do it. We'd see them coming for days.

Hi all, I just finished reading the book "The Black Bats" by Chris Pocock, which describes the Taiwanese spy flights over mainland China from 1949. The PLA jet fighters were too fast to intercept the Taiwanese P2V Neptunes by night, so they developed a nightfighter version of their "slow"...

Has anyone heard about this, or is it old news here? http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/China_buys_Russian_bombers_999.html

Hey ... we don't have a specific tread on Chinese ASM's and since yesterday the first image of the long rumoured YJ-12 was posted .... Deino

The Shenyang 601 Institute has been working for some years now on what might be a competition for Chengdu's J-20. Here's a handful of pics( sorry, can't remember the site, I think it was a Pakistani defence forum) of a model strongly resembling the blurred windtunnel model from Huitong's site...

Have a look at this! I've just come across an AWACS version of the Tu-4! Built by the PRC, it is a true AWACS B-29!

I think we all know the successful attempts to obtain / purchase foreign combat types ... lesser known are such attempts esp. during the brief Sino-Western-honeymoon during the 1980s like the Harrier and the French deliveries of helicopters ... we also know that prior to the J-10 there were...

Just "found" at XAC ... not sure if a Y-7-derivate or a completely new type, but anyway most likely something new from China again. Deino China naval AEW (most likely) spotted
