Wallpaper Is J-10B finally revealing itself?
Back in December, we heard about J-10B taking off for the first time. So in the past week, we apparently got the first set of images for this plane. I've delayed posting these pictures, because it is very unclear and many people thought it looked to be PSed from previous photos. But I think these pictures have lasted long enough to have validity. And in many ways, I think the picture actually was pretty much what I expected it to be. You can see J-10B in the photos:Now, we also see a comparison someone made between J-10 and J-10B
The differences look to be:
- A long nose probe, although this is probably just for this development stage
- The nose is now oval shape rather than round shape, this leads to speculation that this is built for an AESA radar, which I would agree with. It's pretty obvious that AESA radar is intended for this plane, although I'm not sure where NRIET is on mass production of T/R modules
- DSI Intake instead of the old variable inlet
- IRST in front of the canopy
- Holographic HUD
- Longer vertical stabilizer
- A little ECM housing on top of the vertical stabilizer
- The removal of the blade antenna on the spine
- The two rear ventral fins are extended
- The exhaust looks slightly different
