2022-03-18 15:01 HKT
China Military Network recently exposed a group of J-10C fighter cockpit control platforms. Its one-flat design and three-down design are almost the same as the public cockpit of the J-10B at the Zhuhai Air Show. When the 10C first entered service, it was often considered to be the 02 batch of the J-10B, which shows the close blood relationship between the two.

However, with the continuous evolution and improvement of the J-10 fighter, the glass cockpit of this model has also been improved 4 times. The airborne cockpit display system has progressed with the progress of the times. As a major national heavy equipment, the airborne cockpit must use the most advanced cutting-edge technology. The four monitors used in the J-10C are a revolution in the cockpit layout of fighter jets, which can improve the situational awareness of pilots to a greater extent.
Although the integration and display area of the F-10C's airborne equipment is not as large as the single-piece display of the F-16, it is sufficient for the later stage of the F-10.

In the cockpit of the J-10C, the biggest change that makes people feel is the newly exposed helmet display, which can maximize the information level of the J-10 fighter. The helmet-mounted display can not only replace the aiming data in front of the pilot, but also directly command the aiming direction of the airborne sensor through the helmet, so as to eliminate all enemies in sight, and greatly increase the attack distance of the fighter with a large off-axis angle.

For the air force of other countries, only the third-generation semi-fighter aircraft such as Xiang Rafale and F-22 are equipped with helmet-mounted displays. Helmet-mounted displays and integrated displays have become mainstream fighters in the future. Standard. Not long ago, there was news that Pakistan would buy the Chinese J-10C, because India has continuously introduced heavy fighters in recent years, and all Pakistan also has a need for heavy fighters.

According to Indian media reports, the Pakistani delegation went to China in October to purchase 30 J-10Cs at one time. However, the news has not been confirmed by the Pakistani military. In fact, as early as 2008, the Pakistani military reported the purchase of the J-10, but at that time the J-10 fighter had only been in service for two years.
In 2020, a Pakistani media website published a picture of the J-10 and JF-17 fighters. Moreover, the current Chief of Staff of the Pakistan Air Force Tanville Mehamud also stated that he is considering purchasing 36 J-10CE fighters from China. Since then, there have been news that Pakistan wants to buy Chinese J-10 fighters, but they have not been realized.

Pakistan welcome People's Liberation Army Ceremony
According to reports, the China-Pakistan military exercise has started on December 9, and the People's Liberation Army J-10 fighters have also participated in air combat exercises. If the Pakistan Air Force witnesses the excellent capabilities of the J-10 , The possibility of buying the export version of F-10 will be greatly increased.

But the J10 cockpit picture shown in the article has appeared early in 2019, and the source is China's TV show.
So I think it is more likely to be a J10A or J10B cockpit, not the J10C cockpit after the full avionics system.
Because the dashboard layout has appeared in the J10 research and development documentary in 2015

Early J10 dashboard
Considering the cockpit photos on the Zhuhai Air Show, the dashboard should be J10B.
