Chinese aircraft rockets

Well-Known Member
Is there any info on Chinese aircraft rockets which are along the line of Soviet S-5 and S-8 rockets?

Are any images and designations available?
Calibers used are 57mm and 90mm as far as the web says.

That first posting showing the brown rockets looks like they copied every detail of the U.S. 2.75 inch FFAR, except they didn't get the electrical contact on the middle of the fin retainer!

I photographed all the rockets at the Chinese Air Force museum last year. Ill post them tonight.
In a couple of weeks i'll be visiting the newly refurbished military museum in Beijing, I'll see what new stuff they have and post accordingly.

Cheers

Pete
 
Much appreciated!
If you manage please take images of the markings and lot numbers on anything shown there.
 
Here's some of the pictures, missiles and bombs.

I'm thinking you should have jumped up on the display and removed the camo cloaks from the missiles that were covered up.
 
Pete, thanks a lot for these great images!
Seems the Chinese have a very decent air force museum there with quite some old aircraft in good condition.

Wish I could go there.
 
Jeff,
Lol, the same camera, and the same skilled hands that photographed the German 2cm rounds in a previous post of mine!!!
 
I thought that we were blaming the camera for those previous ones? With your paycheck you should be sporting a new Nikon. Not that it would make any difference.....
