Not in China but already delivered Sequence No 106.

F7 in the background & J10A. Seems like an old exercise image.

Looks more like a added fuel capacity.

Ahh the @MastanKhan & @Deino chitchat. What fun will this form be without that ?

Looks like my guess was on spot. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1502306252247945222.html

Few things to keep in mind. Pakistan and India have a treaty which requires informing each other of ballistic Missile launches for testing to make sure other doesn't see a launch as an agressive action This treaty doesnt cover cruise missiles however which is an advantage for Pakistan because...

Picking up the bitsthat were left 🙄 Looks like the accessories are being picked up as well.

This first clear visual confirmation.

It says at end that J10C has thrust vectoring added in 2018. @Deino that is as official as it gets. Question is whether they are talking of AL31 or chineese engine.

Why do we assume these missiles are for Pakistan. Imagine the two serious customers right now ( Argentina & Malaysia) both want the aircraft for significant maritime role. This combo will can be a potential deal maker.

Additional hardpoint and choice of weapon showcasing maritime role. Considering two major potential customers (Argentina & Malaysia) are looking at the plane with focus on maitime role, it makes sense to highlight the plane suitability.

Ahh Didn't knew. Back to being single source than 😀

Now confirmed from multiple sources. More pictures here as well

Atlas Carver. South Africa's attempt at making a 4th Generation plane.

Maybe this was the surprise JF-17A armed with GBU-12 using ASELPOD targeting pod.

Indeginous EW systems played a key role on 27th Feb. Makes my day. Always wondered how an old platform like Falcon 20 mess with Israeli EW system on. oard the Migs, Su 30 and Mirage 2000. Looks like an indeginous system at play here.

Was he in a dual seater? why is a missile being fired again when the adversary aircraft is already hit?

SU30 not possible as Russian plane and Radar. Mirage 2000, Mig21 and Tejas is fairly possible as have French and Israeli radars. 118 order suggest it might be for Tejas as low count to warrant integration with large Mirage 2000 and Mig21 numbers.
