What a beauty pity PAF didn't buy any !!

J-10 is on the same level as F-16.
It is not surprised that PAF doesn't buy J-10, while PAF has F-16 already.

Yes true but as we know PAF is most likely not going to get anymore F-16's therefore should gotten some Fc-20's.

Yes a pity PAF wasted time, considering the numbers of old F-7s & Mirages PAF operates, J-10s could have complimented existing F-16s & JF-17s. At least PAF could retire older fighters early.

It might be J-10C vs J-11B I think. Remember J-10C has AESA radar, and very likely with digital wave forms, which can make most current counter measures obsolete. J-10C also has some optimization in design applied to minimize RCS, as known as so called semi-stealth.

Mainly the engine issue I believe ... it would be complicated to still rely on Russia for a key part

What about JF-17's engine RD-93?

Exactly my point ... it is still the most troublesome point of JF-17 manufacturing since there is a need for Russia. Neither China or Pakistan wants that ...
