J10B..OMG.. Indians acknowledging the presence of J10B !!!!!!!!!!

Finally, its official.... I hope no Indian on this forum will ever again dispute J10B.

All credibility in the article was lost when the author penned the following lines 'looking at raising two squadrons of the fourth generation aircraft to counter India’s Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas, which is still under development' .

india needs to field the lca first for PAF to "counter it" with a ft-5 let alone a third gen ac.

If 300 mki and couple of hundred upgraded mig29, mirage 2000 and jaguars cant deal with the threat and u need a failure of an a/c (LCA) than it surely points towards a deep inferiority complex and a sense of insecurity.
Guess the 1000 years of Muslim rule has done u in for life.

Indian media IMHO deliberately tries to downplay PAF, (I am still not able to understand why do they do this? pehaps to undermine their nerves, anyways) here is another example

China, Pak in MoU to develop stealth variant on JF-17 Thunder
Farnborough, Jul 19 (PTI):

China and Pakistan have reportedly signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a stealth version of a light-weight fighter aircraft being jointly produced by them to match MiG-21 warplane, a work horse of the Indian Air Force.

JF-17 Thunder, also known as FC-1, being jointly built by Kamra-based Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) and Chengdu Aerospace Company (CAC) today made its first appearance at an international air show having flown in here after making refueling stops in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

The plane, which has been in development in one form or another since 1991, is a symbol of cooperation between China and Pakistan and the first assembled version brought out by the Kamra plant, delivered in November last year, according to 'Show News,' a special issue of defence journal Aviation Week for the Farnborough Air Show.

"The two (countries) have also reportedly signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a stealth variant of the JF-17 Thunder," it said.

The journal said that Pakistan Air Force (PAK) is expected to acquire around 250 JF-17s, but this may be a split of 100 in the JF-17 configuration, being displayed at the air show here, and 150 of the stealth multi-role combat aircraft (MCRA) between 2015 and 2025.

The plane is powered by a Russian-built Klimov RD-93 engine -- a specialised single-engine fighter variant of the Mig 29's RS-33 powerplant. The first prototype of the warplane flew in 2003 and the first two Chinese-made versions were handed over to the PAF in March 2007.

Show organisers said that the two JF-17 fighter planes will not fly as part of the air show. "The aircraft has not completed its full release to service in Pakistan," the journal said, quoting a member of the flight control committee.

"Although that full release is only month away, the PAF is also today in what is for them new territory. Farnborough is their very first event of this kind ever," it said.

In another example, Indian media report completely omitted F-16s while comparing India and Pakistani airforce numbers.

J-20 has dropped like a Nuke on Indian nerves, they apparently seem paralyzed thereafter, not to mention brand new J-10B

Was he trying to name JFT BlK 2 as flying coffins ? ... No , seriously even the most pathetic journalist wouldn't do that after IAF cheif called Tejas Mig 21 ++

No doubt this news doesn't sound good. Infact me too have some reservation to this article. @ LCA as MiG21++ . Most of the genrals start there career flying MiG21. They are emotionally attached to it. The Indian MiGs are very old, they need to replaced much ago.

As there emotion is attached to MiG21, they don't like it to be said Flying coffins.. Lets talk bout MiG21 capability. Its one of the best point defense fighter with Mach2 capability. With modern avionics and weapons, its lethal. Looking at its lethal capability, Our general quoted LCA as MiG21++.

@JF17 Blk II: I Will comment on this machine in appropriate thread...

@housShangai
Thanks for posting so nice pics.

which 1 is final prototype?

 

[PakShaheen79]

I think it is still evolving. Plus many of the systems on board with J-20 are being tested on this bird. We will have to wait for a production model.

This pretty much is the production model, IMHO the fuel tanks are for checking wingload stress or drag? may be....but nevertheless, what needs to be asked is wthether this bird will go to CFTE for weapons integration tests or not because if other prototypes have done this, this should not make anysense because systems on borad are pretty much the same...but anyways, looking for replies.

probably number 5 that you see above or maybe another one #6.
it will take a while though so just sit tight! in a year or so we might see a production model, judging by the speedy work there.

 

[SHkhan]

Initially 36 i think!

well, I am still certain that this plane is not finalized YET particularly internally. i.e. avionics, ECM/ECCM, optronics etc. Weapon package is not finalized either. PL-12/SD-10 plus PL-9/PL-10 would certainly there but i am not certain if PL-21 would be launched from this platform and if it does one thing would be certain that this plane is going to have a really long range radar. And someone above just asked if this plane would ever go to CFTE, well the answer is yes. prototypes 1031 & 1034 are at CFTE right now.
