Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

[Army research]

A non-Pakistani/Chinese YouTube Channel by the name Gallery Military in a recent video claimed that Pakistan has purchased two squardons of J-10s.

Published on 16 Mar 2017
Pakistan and China have been cooperating for a number of years on the JF-17/ FC-1 Thunder, a low-medium performance, low-cost aircraft that has attracted interest and orders from a number of 3rd World air forces. In November 2016, a long-rumored deal was announced for China’s Jian-10/ FC-20 4+ generation fighter, whose overall performance compares well with the F-16C/D Block 52 aircraft that Pakistan has ordered from the United States.
The J-10 has been reported as a derivative of the 1980s Israeli Lavi project, and reportedly incorporates an Israeli fly-by-wire control base that was transferred in the project’s early years. The change in relations that followed the Tienanmen Square massacre hurt the J-10 project badly, however, forcing the replacement of planned Western avionics and engines with Chinese and Russian equipment. The required redesign was very extensive, affected all areas of the airframe, and took over a decade, amounting to the development of a new aircraft. The first operational J-10 unit entered service with the PLAAF
China has reportedly ordered 100 J-10s to date. The initial Pakistani order is for 2 squadrons, but could expand as technical cooperation and orders increase. The $1+ billion sale represents the J-10’s first export order… but almost certainly not its last.

Would anyone confirm this? Also which version AESA infra hmds?

IMO plain and simple report based on dated information: We all know that alone more than 250 J-10A/AS are operational and already more than 100 B/Cs are flying. So IMO that reported did simply a lousy job during his research.

I'm lovin it . I hope I see this *** everyday.

@cirr is this one latest picture of J10c?

I hope J10c with WS10 will enter mass production, it realize the dream of a generation.

No, it is clearly one of the final two WS-10-equipped B-models and from what we know this images is already dated (need to look at home) and both are already assigned to the 170. Brigade FTTC.

By the way, Your last sentence is most important: what's the current number-count of J-10Cs ?? Any news on the Batch 03 ?? Any news on the J-10D ??

Any latest news ??? With all these latest news on the Type 001A, C919, UAVs and so on it seems as if no one cares about the J-10 anymore ... what's the current production status? Are they already within batch 03 ... at what number and what are the latest regiments ?

With J20 and J31 at hand, I think J10 is no more a star in PLAAF.

Seems to be that the 44th Division's three regiments - 130th, 131st and 132nd - are getting brigadised !... so we can expect another number-change. to 74x1x, 74x2x and 74x3x serials.

Amazing shot of an even more impressive bird !

By the way, does anyone know what's the current number and batch under delivery ? The most recent bird I know is no. 2-54 from late January.

Indeed as fart as I know the only image showing an operational J-10C with full visible (possible visible) serial number ... but only altered by PS ! Would love to see it clear.

Anyway it is already nearly half a year old and posted first on 30. December 2016.
