PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

Order was placed 3-4 years ago
PAF just remains silent on these issues
Just like submarine order type 54 order and V4 tanks most of those were disclosed after construction or on delivery
Bullshit about 3-4 years ago
Unlike India....Pakistan keep quiet...maybe the order was placed 2 years ago. Maybe our pilots have done the conversion course. And like the jf17B suddenly there is a squadron ready.

Sheikh Rasheed got a few things mixed up. He is not of a military background
Negative. The rationale is behind funding. The aircraft is expensive.
 
Have no idea what impact of this acquisition will have on future export prospects of JF-17. I have this feeling that PAF had to get it in order to get full version of PL-15s.
 
How can Pakistan receive 25 J10 in less than 3 month's time?

It was all started back in 2017....Pilots conversion training etc has already be completed much earlier ...the entire package is coming with yet another Surprise IA.

Shaikh Sb also said "barey barey loag aa rahey hein" ....may be he was referring to Chinese President's presence and the said flypast is arranged for him.
 
That seems to be oversimplification of SPECTRA, especially when all its features would not have been exposed to the Chinese; besides, it may have been developed in the 90's but it must be evolving and developing regularly as is the RAFALE itself with F4 being the latest and most advanced iteration.

Only air combat exercises against the Qatari (and later the Emirati) Rafale would expose the J-10C's to the full spectrum of capabilities. But I do not despair as I am confident our boys would have done their homework, especially after being hands on with the Qatari Rafale.

However, I doubt Sh. Rasheed is correct that we are getting J-10C's; we should be getting the J-10D's.

There is no J-10D version available for export yet. What Pakistan bought is probably J-10CE but more tailored for PAF. This doesn't mean it is a better version of J-10CE or a tailored to be cheaper version. We don't know much about the purchase.

J-10D was rumored on Chinese forums as either something that was speculated to be a PAF version of J-10CE or as a new block upgrade from J-10C.

It is very lucky PAF can train against Rafale and possibly even gain some sensitive insight although I doubt Qatar would allow this even if it is friends with friends this sort of revealing everything is rarely done or done with a high price. Still being able to learn some things about Rafale is good for PAF. The Indians have best version of Rafale which Egypt and Qatar do not use.
 
I haven't got a dog in the fight, and I'm not throwing mud in anyones face, but where are the guys who said you'll never see the J-10 in Pakistani colours?
 
Now PDF will spend the next 3 months and 100+ pages debating whether JS-10 is actually just a J-10C or something new.

The media will cover all of the other important questions in the meantime, sir is it nuclear capable? Sir but can it fly at night? Ok, but it’s the man behind the machine, right? Etc.
and at the end when its come out it will be J-10BP :lol:

You mean the very ones who claimed that PAF rejected the J-10...
 
Pl-15 on J-10 would balance out French BVR. It's a stated policy of PAF that they would retain upper hand in BVR engagements and outrange PAF no matter what. As long as Govt of Pakistan have $$ to pay or take loan our armed forces would maintain a certain qualitative edge over its prime adversary

This basically. The F16s are match for the Rafales but in order to gain the qualitative edge this was the move to do getting J10s with 200km BVR range.. This has to be a continuous process and goes onto in the 2029-2030s our plan has to be to induct MIUS and TFX which are two 5th generation unmanned and manned aircrafts the dice keeps rolling and we constantly keep that pace with India thru to until 2050s.... Keeping the qualitative edge.

On all sectors.
