Well I have seen the "Сорбция" and it´s different to this ECM sistem that the Chinese have, this one it´s pretty slickn, the sorbtcia has some bumps but I might be wrong.

BTW I found two nice videos of the PLAAF:

J-11

J-10 it´s just an extra

Hope you like. B)

What's the thingie on the helmet at around 53secs into the video? Seems like some kind of sight.

that sistem has a name but I can´t remeber right now, it´s suposed to be conected to the EOS and it can be used to track an enemy A/C into the range of the R-73 missile in case of a dogfight. I am sure that in this forum some one else can give you more accurate information than just a simple mortal like me.

:lol:

It's the Shchel'-3UM (Щель-3УМ) helmet-mounted viewing and sighting device.

My guess: this is that show of the knights when they used these plain vanilla flankers instead of these 'brighter' aircraft they use normaly...
