PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

[Zarvan]

How about another rumour ... the PLAAF is slowly retiring its Russian Su-30MKK and IMO also soon the Su-30MK2 in the naval role?

So these - then sanctioned by Russia and updated with new Chinese engines and avionics - would be an ideal type for both the AF as an asset "above" the J-10C as @Tipu7 hinted and for the PN!

Oh well ... a year or two ago I would have laughed about this theory. I think I'm getting old.

Sir you are not getting old we are making up for the last decade plus thinking changing and going on offense is why this is happening

But would this be a viable option?

60 is our order. 54 divided in 3 Squadrons and 6 in CCS

How about this flanker rumor:
Pakistan will buy 24 second-hand Su-35 from China. These Su-35 are purchased by China from Russia and delivered in 2018. China has refitted these Su-35. These Su-35 add AESA and stealth coating, and can use PL15.

I already predicted such things will happened when Russia sold those Su-35 to PLAAF about 5 years ago.

So can it be the Chinese Hypersonic Missile DF-17?

Point was about Fighter Jet. DF-17 is already reported by Indian Media. We don't need to work a lot to make them confuse. They are self sufficient in this area.

Sir SU 30 no chance. Tipu is referring to most probably something from West

It really could be all plausible because the strategic calculus is changing rapidly. However, I will re-emphasize that so far China hasn’t held off on its latest hardware but it takes a lot more prodding from Pakistan to get it.
However, any rumors of J-20s coming to Pakistan will be ridiculous and nothing less. First, it is the bees knees of China’s airborne component and second it is ridiculously expensive.

Really? I think so far we have only seen 22-102 & 22-106.

Which engine have folks been inferring from the pictures?

even though RR is an Indian trait just like head bobbling but they are right

 

[Bilal.]

Who was saying that these jets will be down in options and reduced due to cost? I can't remember but yes, there was a strong argument.

Some Chinese members based on weibo post if I remember correctly.

This rumor is not good.
PAF may consider the second-hand Su-35 which delivered in 2018, but PAF had certainly not need the early flanker whose fuselage life is almost exhausted.

Speaking of early flanks. I should thank you for forgetting the 76 Su-27 in the tomb of China's Lushan aircraft.
