What are the standard armaments for air to air, air to ground, CAS, Wild Weasel and anti-ship sorties?

Max air to air payload for J10 is 2x PL9 and 4x PL12 or 6x PL12 & 2x PL9?

Nope ... first of all your suggested weapon loads are much too high and second, there si no PL-9 in PLAAF service, this was only an AAM for export.

Given your question, the regular standard armaments for:

Air to air:
2 or a maximum of 4 PL-12 plus 2 PL-8B or 2 PL-15 plus 2 PL-10 have been seen.

Air to ground:
at best 2 LS-500J 500kg LGBs + a targeting pod or 2 KG-88 AGMs + a guidance pod

CAS:
still most often unguided rocket pods

Wild Weasel:
2 YJ-91 ARMs + a guidance pod

Anti-ship:
Not yet seen on the J-10. Otherwise it would be the YJ-83K.


Hope this helps.

Thanks for your answers, it helps.

Air to air:
J10 only carries 6 air to air missiles despite being larger than F16? The F16C older variant with 27,000lb of max thrust could carry 8x air to air missiles.

For air to ground, there's no compact missiles carried on racks? For Russian agm mostly large and heavy limited to just 1 missile per pylon. This means more J10s required to take out multiple targets just like Russian fighters such as Mig29SMT or Mig35.

The US however could carry compact missiles/bombs on racks of 2 or 3 per pylon. The F16C could carry 6-12 agm65. The same goes to mk82, cbu87. This means a single F16C could carry mixtures of 2x aim9M, 2x aim120b, 6x agm65D, 2x drop tanks to attack air and ground targets.

Can the four fuselage pylon loaded with all 250kg JADM?

Can the four fuselage pylon loaded with all 250kg JADM?

Weight-wise IMO yes, but is there a 250kg-JDAM in PLAAF service?

what is the price !?

Among Iranian member ,Im the one who want to have at least 200 fighter in J17 or J10 class , but others want su-30 0r su-35 ,

IMO , J10 is good options for us if we can co produce it with China in numbers

Su-30 or Su-35 would be a better choice for Iran to replace F-14.
