Thanks Alzaeem, Further confirmation that Pakistan is not getting an upgraded J-10A. The news by the insider seems to be wrong.

I want to dispel any impression by my post above that JF-17 will get a retractable probe. Because of the weight issue, the probes could likely be fixed until JF-17 has a higher thrust ratio. With the current engine, retractable probes will hurt the performance.

We have to go by what Chinese have developed and where they are being installed. It is reported that J-10B has received the retractable probes and they are placed on the port side (not confirmed). If that is correct than we should see all new chinese aircrafts with the retractable probes which...

Refuelling system for Block-2 is confirmed.

John Doe, Statement by Kaiser Tufail is pretty close to truth but I do not see the relavance with JF-17. His words were specifically meant for Mirage-III which I have also flown and know a thing or two about them .

Thanks Aeronaut. I am not regular but It is always a great pleasure to see a very lively forum when I am here. best regards

Only if the order is for a stop-gap arrangement otherwise Huzhigeng is speculating. I know for fact that each new changes that PAF requested for FC-20 were incorporated in J-10B. PAF will not be down in priority. Believe me.

information was posted few months ago which mentioned that numbers were raised from 36 to 56 units but I have strong suspicion that the numbers may eventually be much higher due to the fact that there was news about TOT. You do not transfer technology for produvtion of small numbers. I hope...

Thanks. yes I can agree with that. It makes sense. Impression left was that Pakistan will not be receiving the FC-20s/J-10B but replaced by J-10A instead. I am also aware that the number of J-10s was increased. Most probably, it means some J-10A will be purchased to meet the immediate need in...

Brother, these upgrades do not mean a generation change. But all these modifications were taken at the behest of PAF. I will be really surprised if Pakistan does not go for a version that it calls FC-20 which has the same characteristics that of a J-10B. If Huzhigeng is correct than the...

J-10A and J-10B are not two different aircrafts. J-10B is an upgraded version of the J-10A. It has different avionics, different engine intake, and different radar. Say like F-16A and F-16C. Huzhigeng may be correct but PAF will not be getting exactly the same version of J-10 that PLAAF is...

New chinese SRAAM Charlie-5EII was launched succesfully on a JF-17 last week. Do not know much about this missile. Can some one shed some light on.

Not currently. Even if the thrust is higher. block-11 will be heavier as well.

Darky, WS-10 engine certainly had problems but Chinese have been working hard on it. There have been aplenty of dismissive remarks by many while there has been exuberent remarks by many of the Chinese side. But truth lies in the facts that many of us choose to disregard. One of the biggest...

There are no royalties involved for AL-31 engines as that is a straight purchase just like RD-93. Royalties are paid when one country produces another's product under license. One possibility is a new engine produced by China like WS-10, replace the AL-31 with it and sell the J-11B with new...

Haseeb Sahib, It is not what you say but how you say it. Please go back yo your post and see what you said. Quote:Thats not true...link please? It is ok if you did not know but the way you chose your words, you gave an impression that I provide FALSE information.. Apologize for my reaction.

thanks for correction. My mistake. We all ocassionally mistype or make mistakes. I will also make sure that I do not spell Raymind Davis, rediculous, mistafa kemal, isues etc. etc. With best regards son.

Yes, the sourse has not been identified yet. Personal opinion arwe expressed by quoting unnamed sourses, even if the sourse may be author's mothr-in-law.

Thank you Imran Khan Saheb. It will shut some mouths and open their minds. There is limit to madness shown but some have even crossed that. Looks like that the knowledge level is limited to links only. If I had posted the same information on net, it will be considered authentic. there are...

You will not find a link. But Reapers have replaced the Israeli and Pakistani UAVs. It is a factual knowledge and the link based.
