I wrote something about the J10A's history

U18391104: Added some text in survivability and armour, and added some basic flight information. I do not have the proper tools to get the rest of the flight information, such as optimal engine thrust with the afterburner at a certain speed, optimal velocities, etc.

Added some text in survivability and armour, and added some basic flight information. I do not have the proper tools to get the rest of the flight information, such as optimal engine thrust with the afterburner at a certain speed, optimal velocities, etc.

U42858531: /* Flight performance */ I added: Stock flight characteristics; Some engine information (some others are missing that I don't know how to collect in the game); and I also added pros and cons;

-The J10 program began in the early 1980s under strict secrecy in order to counter new fighter aircraft from other countries with something of equal value. Originally developed purely as an interceptor, its capabilities were later extended to include air-to-ground missions. The first flight of the J-10 took place in 1996, but the program suffered a setback in 1997 due to a serious accident. As a result, the design was modified and the new prototype flew on March 23, 1998 for the first time to continue the test program. On June 28, 2002, the first pre-production model took off on its maiden flight and in 2004, the aircraft was finally put into service by the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). The J-10 was only offered for export to Pakistan. In april 2006, the Pakistani government announced that it would put 36 J-10s into service under the designation FC-20. On January 9, 2006, Jane's Defence Weekly reported that an advanced version of the J-10 was being planned (J-10B or Super J-10). This variant presumably took off on its maiden flight in December 2008.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}'''（歼-10A型歼击机), officially the K/AJJ10A, known by its nickname '''"Vigorous Dragon 猛龙"''' or by its NATO codename ''"Firebird"'', is the new generation single-seater multirole fighter for PLAAF since 2006 as the replacement of previous fleets of J-6 to J-8I series. Foreseeing the limitations of 2nd generation interceptors in the aerial combats of 1980s, engineers of Chengdu Aircraft Corporation has been working on a new generation jet fighter with some designs deemed innovative to Mainland China in 1960s all the way to 1978; although this program dubbed "J-9" bit the dust, one of its designs, J-9-VI series, which were known by their iconic canard design, were retained for further development in near future. By 1982, Song Wencong (宋文骢) brought in the J-9-VI aerodynamic model and impressed the officials during the hearing for the development of new interceptor; after the aerodynamic issues and further refinement on the J-9-VI design, the new aircraft would soon be named Project No. 10 (十号工程) and commence in 1986. This also brought in a major issue for the program: extremely high percentage of new components with very low compatibility to any previous interceptors, especially the digital FBW control which wasn't even been introduced to Mainland China at all; after addressing on the manufacturing difficulties and programmed for any possibility of scenarios for the FBW system, the J-10 rolled of the production line in 1997 and soared to the skies on March 23rd, 1998. With flight tests conducted successfully without any crashes and further refinements made to the design, J-10 delivered its lead-in series to PLAAF on March 2003 was certified for commission in 2004; by 2006, the new fighter was officially introduced in the year's national defense white paper.

+''By the 1980s, to further reduce weight, most fighters and interceptors were not equipped with extra armor plates for both the pilot and critical components; this is no exception for the Firebird series.
