16 J-10Cs would instantly give BAF air-dominance over the MAF as these planes are in the league of the Eurofighter/ Rafale.

Cannot wait for the deal for the 16 SU-30SME/SU-35 to also be signed as BD needs a heavy long-range fighter for deep strike and to support BN out deep in the Bay of Bengal.
These purchases are overkill for the MAF and can only be meant to start the build up of a credible deterrent to the IAF.
