It is photoshoped but I'd like to see it like that with an AESA radar.
FC 20 deal is now pretty deadBlock-2 looks good but I would still go for 3-4 Squardons of J-10B.
i also believe that pakistan is getting these jets in 2015FC-20 is still on cards with PAF , as no easy deals for F-16 is available. Now as Russian's have agreed to sell RD-93. Mi-35 directly to Pakistan. There might also be window for AL31F engines for FC-20's. In one News PAF has again given hint of reconsidering J-10 is due to this fact. In Past many of our Air force personnel have told media to induct J-10 in 2014-15 was due to the fact, they hoped china would ready WS-10 by that time. As Russian had not cleared re export of their AL-31F for Pakistan. Now as India buying Rafael for their AF Russian's have on many occasions replied for exporting hardware to Pakistan. Its now official from them.
PAF must fill gap with india having at least 54+4 dual seater as planned before.
I agree that in a war situation us will twist our arm with f16 spare policy. PAF must have different frams. JF17 may not be enough, a twin engine fighter is ideally better like J16, if not then J10s are oks due to rafale dealJ-31 is an immature plat form and their also might be no production facility ready for its serial production.
PAF has developed a habit of waiting long time to decide like india. PAF must go for FC-20 as indian's recent procurement of MIG 29k has further strengthened its air power even on sea side with k's.
FC-20 is of the same category of 4th generation. We can't put F-16's on every air combat mission against their wide variety of 4 gen. F-7-P/PG cant outgun every intercept mission. Losses would be more on our side then. 3 squadron's of FC-20 along with 76 F-16 will be a potent threat for IAF. Later increase in F-16 numbers will be a force multipliers
And if the F-16's spares were a problem during any conflict like always, what would be shape of Air force with minimum sorties of our front line fighters? Must have FC-20's even having same generation level of technology
