Bold statement: can you please give us a source confirming that?
I think it will not be a good option.
Out bordering countries armed themselves with Su-30, Mig-29 and Mirage 2000. J-10 is not a good platform for dog-fighting. In a BVR range even the Mig-21Bison would do the job but who fires at BVR range? 80% of the AA missiles fired till date are fired from WVR range in a dogfight.
To tackle Su-30, Mig-29, Mirage-2000 we need Mig-29SMT or upper-hands like Su-27SM2 or Su-30MK or Mig-29MRCA or F-16EF which are equally good in both BVR and WVR AA fighting.
what are you talking about?
in PLAAF, the j-10 routinely spanks the j-11 and su-30 in air to air combat, j-10A is said by PLAAF to be close to early f-16 models but slighter better in electronics, while the j-10B is suppose to match or exceed late model f-16s
