[2022] Is J-8B correct?

It's acknowledged which means it's been passed. If there is any change internally the status will be reflected on that report.

The J-8B did not have the capacity to carry and fire 6 at once. Its correct that they can be moved to multiple pylons, but there is currently no evidence to show it could carry and fire 6 at any one given time. The weapon systems only have the capacity for 4 at a time. But they could be mounted on a number of stations.

This image does not actually show 6 missiles simultaneously. Whilst the missiles could be mounted across different stations, the weapon systems only had the capacity to carry and fire 4 at a time. There is currently no evidence to show 6 could be actually used at the same time. Its for the same reason the Jaguar GR.1A also does not have 4 sidewinder options. As whilst its true they could be mounted above or below the wing, it could not be done all at the same time.

We welcome any evidence and reports that show anything contrary to this, however this image does not show that 6 was possible at once.
