Su-30MKK 对地攻击武器展示，最近处是 Kh-31 超音速反辐射导弹

    一部视频展现庆祝中国试飞院（CFTE）的最近成就透露大量证明中国武器计划和人民解放军空军（PLAAF）武器系统发展速度的证据。

    官方电影胶片，已经在英特网上出现，展示一种完全新级别的空对地导弹，Kh-31高速、反辐射导弹（ARM）和PL-12主动雷达超视距空对空导弹（BVRAAM）机载发射试验，用于成都J-10和沈阳J-11B战斗机重型空对地负载，加上广泛测试和开发工作包括实际上中国服役的每架前线战斗机在内。

    最吸引人的是一种新的导弹设计据信被指定为KD-88。一种标记为KD-88武器的几张模糊图像之前被看到但是中国试飞院（CFTE）电影显示两种截然不同型号被西安JH-7A攻击机试验。导弹概略地是3.5米长和被一台采用下悬进气口的小型涡轮喷气/涡扇发动机提供动力。安装两种不同类型导引头—一种看来似乎是光电（EO，可能一种成像红外导引头）而另一种或为主动雷达导引头或一种被动射频-寻的导引头。

China unveils weapon developments

By Robert Hewson

A video produced to celebrate the recent achievements of the China Flight Test Establishment (CFTE) reveals a wealth of evidence for new Chinese weapons programmes and the pace of weapons systems development by the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).

The official footage, which has now appeared on the internet, shows an entirely new class of air-to-surface missiles, airborne launch trials of the Kh-31 high-speed anti-radiation missile (ARM) and the PL-12 active radar beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM), heavy air-to-surface loads for the Chengdu J-10 and Shenyang J-11B fighters, plus extensive test and development activity with virtually every front-line combat aircraft in Chinese service.

Most intriguing is a new missile design believed to be designated KD-88. A few blurred images of a weapon labelled KD-88 have been seen prior to this but the CFTE film shows two distinct versions being trialled by Xian JH-7A attack aircraft. The missile is roughly 3.5 m long and powered by a small turbojet/turbofan engine with an underslung intake. Two different seeker types are fitted — one appears to be electro-optical (EO, potentially an imaging infrared seeker) while the other is either an active radar seeker or a passive RF-homing seeker for the defence suppression mission.
