我们还有更猛的!机密不易泄露!来中国看看吧!
- I also have something more aggressive.
I have heard some reports that the J-10 entered service in late 2004. Can anyone confirm this?--Todd Kloos 23:33, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
As of today, I believe that 3 regiments of J-10 are in service in the Nanjing Military Region.
The article leads the reader to believe that Israel give china the technology for the Chengdu, this is pure speculation and should not be presented as solid fact. I have deleted the passages which do this.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg 01:11, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
- I agree that the article should not state that as a fact, however, the J-10 is strikingly similar to the Israeli Lavi, and the J-10 is also radically different than all other Chinese designs so it seems probable that there was some foreign influence. I think the article should at least mention that there is some belief that the J-10 may have been built with some Israeli assistance. Edrigu 14:21, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- I'm changing a few words in this paragraph to make it more NPOV. However, I think we should leave it in, since it's valid speculation. --205.250.250.154 19:37, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
The similarity is completley superficial, one might as well state that the Israelis gave the technology to the Swedes when they developed the Saab Gripen as it looks just as similar. The reason that all these aircraft look similar has to do with similar roles and aerodynamics.
^Ludicrous. It's widely believed (and JANEs even mentions this) that it was based on the Israeli Lavi. It's worth mentioning in the article, and moreover, the Gripen has twin side intakes, while the Lavi and J-10 have one at the bottom. Sorrowek 10:33, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
I have added the role that the J-10 plays in C & C Zero Hour reborn as I have used this plane in multiplayer games (trust me, it rules the skies ;). I cannot, however, find any external links: perhaps someone else can.) --The1exile 21:13, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
- Someone else has added references to the model of the MiG being the Mig 1.44 or MFI. I cannot find any references to either of these models on wikipedia or on any other source. can someone please explain what these models are, or I will revert. At least clear up the redlink. --The1exile 21:04, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
On a different note, what is all the chinese text at the top of this talk page? I cannot see all the characters for the first and last phrases but the second one says, if my chinese is not completely wrong, "The secret is not easy to reveal". --The1exile 21:10, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- It says "We have something even more exciting! It's not easy to reveal the secret! Come to China and see!" Typical childish stuff, please disregard that. --Ledrug 04:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
This article has too much speculations. Some of it look like very good educated guesses based on original research, but it should be made clear to readers that these are not commonly accepted hard facts.
Btw, who wrote the J-10 engine is built by Pakistan, its ridiculous. The engine originated from Russia and the Russian would never license a copy of their engine to Pakistan.
[edit] False Information
Not that anybody seems to care, but another comment by me. According to Global Security, which is listed as a source, the J-10 can do Mach 1.85, and yet the article claims that the plane can do M2+. If there are no objections, I will change this. --The1exile 17:00, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- Global Security is wrong. They just took the Lavi top speed and assumed that it would be the same for the J-10. However, the some of the design features of the J-10 such as the variable geometry inlet indicate that it should have a much higher top speed than the Lavi. The dimentions that they give for the aircraft are also based on the lavi, so they are probably a bit off as well.--Todd Kloos 19:57, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

- Ok then, thats enough to knock Global Security of the external links page; providing misinformation is not what Wikipedia is about. --The1exile 20:14, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
