J-10C for PAF - Hypothetical Scenario

no no no no no ... not again ... sheesh

I wonder how does this equation go between JF17 and J10s.

Hi-Low Mix I presume. Thankfully there looks to be enough Block 3 orders from the PAF and foreign customers, that the Air Force could presumably procure its Block 3 birds and then shift to procuring more J-10s and the facilities to maintain and rebuild them, while making JF-17 for foreign customers, which would partially finance the J-10 procurements and facilities upgrades.

Once each JF-17 needs an MLU, they (PAF and Foreign operators) could go back to Kamra and get rebuilt to the latest structural standards like the F-16s SLEP, and the engine improved with the latest parts, and avionics upgraded, etc. etc. etc. all this creating an industry that creates business and jobs for decades to come.

& Wow j10c with PL-15.

Probably the Chinese are only selling PL 15 to PAF with J-10.
That may be the only reason to buy J 10.
Otherwise thunder Block 3 was enough.

J-10C beats J-16 and Su-35, winning the most ‘Golden Helmets’

J10 ki rahon mai palken bhechaen baithen hai
Phir bhi F-16 ki aass lagae baithen hai

Aur dono main se kisi k bhi aany k assar nahi abhi tak tu
Bas Block-III ki induction ka socha kar, dil behlay beithen hai

Some rumors floating about J10's coming to Pakistan end of year

Well we are literally end of year

I think the issue is more complex which is the weight and the size of the PL-15. We have to keep persistence in the air in mind when considering the potential employment scenarios. We launch JF-17s with 2 PL15s and possibly 2 WVR AAMs, whereas the other side gets to employ a bigger platform with far more BVR missiles. For an effective package, PAF needs to possibly add a bigger platform such as J-10 specifically so they can provide more BVR options to be exploited at the full range afforded by the missiles which means a bigger radar in the nose cone etc. possibly which won't happen in the JF-17 on amount of its MTOW and nose cone real estate.

While I was not expecting J-10s to be acquired, but they may offer Pakistan more employment options beyond the F-16s and in conjunction with the JF-17s.

Replacement for the F-16 is needed. Upgrades and newer munitions will not be offered to Pakistan by USA. JF-17 can not completely fill the F-16's profile. Plus J-10 comes with Chinese industrial capacity and military spending behind it.

I agree, those could be other reasons but none of the F-16s will get replaced before 2040. That is a long time ahead and I would not even be surprised if PAF acquired surplus F-16s if given an opportunity.

F-16 is a stranded asset for the PAF. It should continue to fly but shouldn't be expected to lead the fight. Don't under estimate the J-10C. PAF commanders had a good look at its capabilities in recent joint air exercises with the PLAAF. They liked what the saw so pulled the trigger on acquiring it.
