LOL
It was past already.

yup but J20 and even J10 still using Russian AL-31F .
Personally love to see mature and reliable indigenous Chinese Engine in these aircraft.

I think you have missed something already. LOL

Newly-builded J-20 and J-10 have said goodby to Russian engines already.

The canards of J-10:

Only the ones on J-20 are called WS-10C. This is still WS-10B.

Do we have any estimates for a dry thrust?

As per USA, F-16s will stay here as lethal fighter jet till 2070. If J10-C can do the same than Pakistan should export J10-c in good numebrs

Impossible

Impossible

block 70 is too much lethal, probably better than Rafale. Will certainly stay till 2050 if not 2070

Better maybe radar but not aerodynamic. F-16 in high speed turn will lose or bleed more compare to canard Rafale of less powerful engine.

The development of fighter aircrafts slowed down due to the collapse of the former Soviet Union.

But it would speed up rapidly due to the competition between USA and China. F-16, J-10, and so on would be replaced very quickly.

USAF said that there will be trickling of tech into F16s from both F22 and F35. So it will be there for a long time. Same with J10s.
This time cold war will be different as China has the leesons of the soviet.

The cost of F-35 is coming down quickly.
Don't you understand what it means?

More power full engine, speed and range and soon F16 will have AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile (JATM).

The cost of F-35 is coming down quickly.

F35 need 3 days for 2nd flight where as F16 can fly 3 times in one day. So F16 is not going any where

USA secretly working on F15-X , which mean 4th generation jets are going to stay here for long time.
