PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

[Ghessan]

They are handed over to sqr in replacement of mirages dedicated for a to g role

Well the tweet from DGPR says otherwise.

"With J-10C “Dragon” Omni role fighter in its ranks, PAF retains the first shot BVR capability while maintaining a qualitative edge in the application of Air Power across all domains. The capabilities of the aircraft are showcased in this short video documentry. https://t.co/YgwG18bM93

Great ... PAF. Keeping rolling these cool videos. Next must be some quick launches of PL-10E and PL-15Es .... along with Block III induction ceremony!

 

[Zulfiqar]

Hmm? My point is, are they now indeed already part of the 15th Squadron or was it more a formal or official induction like a "welcome to Pakistan and here we are"! ceremony?

Judging from this video (where he mentions role or 15 Sq) it seems that they will become part of 15th SQ.

@Trailer23 do look for high res version of the video in this tweet and the tweet above it (for future videos of your channel).

@Raider 21 and other people, just out of interest, would you know which aircraft WC Imtiaz and his entourage (picutred above) are coming from?

Thank heavens, no walk this time.

If you are trying to be a great power, then you need to have your own domestic military industrial complex. All the money in the world will not get you modern military hardware unless you can build it yourself. The continued incompetence of India's defense industry will mean Pakistan will have technological advantage over them for many years to come.

In your opinion where do you see IAF in 20 years (in no of squadrons) considering they have made a push for make in india, and their stated goal of 42 squadrons.

Also considering the fact that post russian ukraine war, there will be a different world. Keeping in mind Indian reliance on russian weapons and its ambition to have western military products and part of Quad or china containment factor for US.

let you know ,CE -- Pakistan version mainly improves the formation lights and other lamps, antennas and head up displays, replacing the large field of view diffraction head up display and TK-31 fourth generation lightweight panda helmets, reducing a data link antenna on the back antenna, changing the position of the missile warning system, replacing the green and white deceleration parachutes, and adopting a new generation of general composite hangers.

The HUD head up display is replaced by the latest third-generation wide angle single-chip diffraction head up display, which is the same as the Xiaolong block 3 fighter just commissioned this year, which is higher than the configuration of the three-chip diffraction head up display used in the early batch of j-10c. This head up display is the latest foreign trade diffraction head up display first released at Zhuhai Air Show in 2021. In terms of field of view, it is similar to the Thales cth3022 wide-angle diffraction head up display used by Rafale fighter. It not only highlights the characters clearly, but also supports the night vision picture projection of the yings-ii forward-looking infrared system of foreign trade, making the pilot more comfortable when flying at ultra-low altitude at night.

The weight of TK-31 helmet is 0.94-1.01kg. It is made of carbon fiber. The received collision energy level is 73.5j and the penetration energy level is 23.5j. It can be ejected from the aircraft at a speed below 1100km / h.

hope you like it.↑

Cant understand why Indians are making fun of PL-15. They are claiming we got Pl-15E variant not PLAAF variant which ranges 200kms to 300kms.

That is their inferiority complex speaking. I was going to write something else but thought it better that we ignore them and instead concentrate on getting ourselves more stronger.
Our weakest link remains our fragile economy and low reserves which will not allow us any lee way unless we rectify it. We need to put our heads down and concentrate on economic build up for the next 5-10 years. Till such time that we do so we will remain vulnerable to external pressures.

Nope, those for the J-10 series are located further aft directly behind that strange one but usually covered: IMO it is just an exhaust for something, maybe the APU

 

[araz]

That is something that baffles me, like IAF chief himself said, even if everything goes to plan, they will be at 35 squadrons by next decade, they are already at 30-31 now, with all the retirements of Mig-29, M2000, Jag, M21, and planned inductions of Tejas More rafales (definitely after J-10) and FGFA. they will still be at marginally more number aircraft of around 700 compared to around 650 today. And we are talking about 15 years down the line at least.

There is something seriously wrong with IAF and their domestic production and procurement or am i missing something. Like money has not been an issue and indian economy would be much bigger in future.

Lets not concentrate on their woes. We have got plenty of our own and we need some serious focused attention on them. Lets sort our own problems out and leave them to sort their own out

Don't bother with that kind of mentality and stop paying attention to it. It's same as PAK F16s can't be used against India, they have got kill switch in them, Su30mki is mini AWAC, JF17 is junk fighter etc.. what do you aspect from them to cheer our toys. Our boys know what they doing and what Indians playing at. These are the best times of our history where our forces getting top of the range toys. I don't know if you followed any thing in 90s they were the depressing times, now the tables have turned. So chill out.

Unlike the 90s China now has many products which have matured and are of international standard. The US remained an untrustworthy ally whereas common strategic goals means that the Chinese are much more in tune with our needs and wipling to help us achieve them. Turkey is also coming on line so it is all looking good. We also have indegenous products which are of good quality and therefore a few of our needs can be met locally as well.
So a lot of our programmes are coming online to help us.

@Trailer23 do look for high res version of the video in this tweet and the tweet above it (for future videos of your channel).

It was done a couple of mins after it was released.

Don't worry, you're still on my list of Tags once something new is released.

 

[araz]

Noob question, but can we integrate aselpod and spanish jammer on J-10?

PLAAF will have its own jammers which would be equally capable. If needed we will have the capability to do so in house.
However with hardware from multiple vendors it sometimes becomes problematic to use the hardware to their best capability. So there may have been a prudent decision to not do so.

Amazing that No 5 Sqd and it's Block 52s are no longer PAF's cutting edge.....

Outside of the 36 Rafales, IAF really has no answer to the Block 52/MLU/J-10 combo....
