IRST confirmation

 

[serenity]

WS-10B confirmed with those photos of PAF J-10CE/J-10CP. I guess we should call it J-10CP. Whether it is the same as J-10C or J-10CE we don't know. Maybe add some take some.

For sure, it has IRST and WS-10B. Not sure about one equipment that is revealed by spine antenna. Now the interesting question for this thread is how many units PAF bought. J-10CE is not a cheap fighter at all. With PAF also buying JF-17 block 3 and PL-15E and PL-10 on top for both these fighters, this is a lot of money spent! I would suggest that 5th generation funds would be relatively reduced as it has to be with any big spending. This could suggest that 5th gen is considered too far away to wait without having more capable and modern fighters. If 5th gen is closer to readiness for at least testing, then perhaps JF-17 block 3 alone is enough? Or Pakistan considers chance of skirmishes with India to be extremely high at least enough to need two new fighters.

JF-17 Blk III cost USD 50 million each. So J-10CE definitely will cost more.

With these painted birds - looks like CAC test pilots have fully tested and we are now on the acceptance flights. If we are seeing 22-102 and 22-106 now - does seem to suggest that we may be borderline in having all 25 for the parade as was suggested.

That would be the export price for JF17 Block III - right? - Not the "PAF price" which should be less.

no details of the deal out yet ?
Pakistan airforce is very lucky that way. In India each and every bolts price would be discussed in 20 different committees for years and after procurement the CAG would take out the obligatory criticism of the purchase.

On that I agree other wise you would have ordered 36 Rafale more by now in fact even on first time you would have ordered around 72. Still I think in the end Rafale would be 100 in number in IAF.

Wonder why PM Imran Khans escort video hasn't been released yet.
