PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

[SQ8]

PAF official YouTube channel has issued a statement about J10C induction.PAF is calling it an Omni role fighter jet.
@JamD

Just a cheap shot at the Rafale being called Omni role in its marketing material

The induction of js10 seems to remind me of induction of fsola in 1983 ... Very similar pattern and coverage .. protocol and fan fare .... Am I missing something here ?

Now wait for J-10 naswaar.

It does teach a lot of things

in our times. It used to be adha kilo dahi..

Unpacked yogurt will make a mess inside an F-16 cockpit if the pilot has to pull some Gs. Trust me, I've been there.

So proud to be a Pakistani today. We got J-10C's, HQ-9B's, Akinci, TB-2, JF-17, Tughril and SP howitzers. Seems like every service did their shopping and feel more balanced in all aspects. Huge capability increase within a few months MA.

How long have Pakistani pilots been training in China?

From contract singing till the delivery it took almost 8 moths so may be 6-8 months training

Hi HRK
in second picture of the cockpit pilot wearing HMDS (if he is) what kind of hmds
or just a regular helmet
thank you

It is, but that's an F-16 pilot and not a J-10C pilot

Plenty of legroom to carry those Rahad ALCM.

First ever "canard" to have been inducted in the service of PAF along with the first operational IRST capability. Hope this bodes really well for the PAF's evolution. Must also say thank you to China for coming through.

I am aware that many people maybe questioning why this and not JF-17. The simple answer is that we needed a bigger aircraft with more A2A payload for persistence in the air. While we can certainly put up 4 JF-17s against 2 Rafale's etc., but at one point, having a bigger radar, more ordnance on a platform helps.

I think Alhamdolillah PAF has a very balanced fleet now across the board.

The next big logical step should be to have a twin-engine jet in our fleet. I was wondering if there could be another version of J10C with the dual engine? If it is a possibility? @Deino @beijingwalker @siegecrossbow

That boat sailed over a decade ago.

OK, then should only consider J20 if they will be available for export to Pakistan.

Correct, it is a shot from the escorting F-16s.

F-16 Fighter with JHMCS.

Repeating: What helmet is the J-10 pilot wearing? Any thoughts

Why dual engine? F-35 is single engine so is the Gripen and they are fairly capable platforms
