PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

[That Guy]

One should not forget that India has other choices i.e Super Sukhoi project to upgrade existing SU30s as well as getting some old ones from Russia and getting them upgraded as well as Mig 29s. IAF has learned a lot from previous skirmish including secured data link as well as improved A2A missiles with better ranges.

It is just likeout out of no where no Pak getting significant nos of J10cs from China in short span of time, The only hurdle is perhaps cost issues for Indo-Russia.

The question remains, does IAF even want more sukhois, considering they've become a logistical and maintenance nightmare for India, with readiness rates barely reaching 50% of it's existing Sukhoi fleet.

I personally don't think India is interested in Russian fighters any longer, and Feb 27th proved how ineffective India's sukhois were, as they had to turn tail when faced with f-16 blk52s of PAF, who outranged and outgunned the Su-30MKIs.

This is correct.

On topic: another added benefit of having the J-10Cs is that they'll give PAF a good chance to train with and against a fighter that's very similar in capabilities to the Rafale.

If India doesn't get more rafales soon, which this thread has established that it won't for year's to come, then they really will have no choice but to buy another fighter type, which will mean even more logistical nightmares for the IAF. They can't get the numbers advantage for the Rafales due to the long waiting list, and buying yet another fighter type is adding to costs for India.

IAF really is stuck in a rut.

Ever since the news of acquisition of J10 was broken, the focus of discussion had been india & Rafale. But in my opinion the country who should be more worried than India is Taiwan. Remember PAF was not able to pitch F-16s in any Shaheen Exercises with China.
Having secured this deal now PAF can do F-16 vs J10 exercises internally. This in return might help China vis-a-vis Taiwan. Furthermore this deal has effectively killed any chance of V upgrades that some people were hoping for.

Correct me if Im wrong, but this looks like a J10B, not a J 10C. The datalink antenna is missing.

We don't validation from pajeets that we keep going to them to ask their opinion about our acquisitions

You should have replied that we are paying for the Jets but China is throwing in these weapons for free.

That paint scheme is hideous

It seems to be the standard PAF scheme - same as Jf17 and similar to F16s.

 

[MH.Yang]

Probably not, nothing is as light nimble and agile as F-16

MIG-29?

This is correct.

After the outbreak of the galawan Valley incident, the Chinese army and the Indian army faced off on the border. At that time, India had urgently purchased 12 SU-30MKI and 21 MiG-29 from Russia.
Although India later cancelled the order, it has told us the answer.

MIG-29?

Yep, Mig 29s are extremely manoeuvrable with very high Thrust to Weight ratio. Good for dogfighting as well as gaining height to recommit in BVR.

It is a J10C
