J-10C should have the edge over the F-16 at high altitude engagements due to it’s canard-delta design, whereas F-16 should have the edge in low to mid altitudes.
I would think the F-35 derived APG-83 would be better than the AESA radar on the J-10C and so that may cause J-10C pilots targeting issues against Taiwanese F-16s.
You think and you guess.
That is not the answer we are looking for.
Example.
When the Royal Thai Air Force defeated J-10A in their initial exercise, there was plenty of publicity given by the news presses.
In the last 2 round, these news suddenly were inconspicuously missing.
Royal Thai Air Force trained in and by USA has lost all their aerial combat in their exercises against PLAAF J-10B in their exercise 2 year in a row using their Grifen JAS-39.
And You assumed F-16V is superior to PLAAF ever evolving J-10C.
Now rumor is Thailand is making inquiries about J-10CE and their availability.
This is enraging USA and her arm dealers as arm sales is the real reason why they are turning China the new enemy and a new cold war.
What else can USA sells or Produce?
Look. I came here to listen to facts.
The hidden truth is there is a strong probability that PLAAF Air Force onboard Radar may be in fact superior to those in the USAF warplanes.
But Chinese are modest and not braggarts like the West. They maintain their secrecy and that is why Deino is still digging like the rest of us for the real capability.
Is WS-15 ready? Is WS-10 TVC engine in mass production? Why did China place a 4th assembly line for J-20? The truth is we don't know and we are all waiting but we are not speculating. Something is brewing.
