PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

Regarding the cockpit of J10C,
I personally infer that after the avionics system is fully upgraded,
the applying the dashboard should be the application version of the concept cockpit displayed on the 2014 Air Show.

That is, it is this style.

Through image processing, we can see the shape of the dashboard current J10C and its training devices.
It is clear that the outline of the dashboard is a rectangular, which is not composed of several modules.

in addition
From the previous PAF J10C promotional video, the dashboard exhibited is partially
Inferred by its angles and sizes and the color shown,

The size and angle of this screen is closer to the concept chamber cabin on the left, not the dashboard from the air show aircraft on the right.

This gives us reason to believe,In addition to the operating rod because the early flight control design is still left in the middle position, it is not placed outside the right, and other functional upgrades should be applied to J10C.🧐

Who knows the J10 series in the upgrade process, how many technological innovations brought by J20...:cheesy:

Of course, these may be inaccurate, this is just a personal analysis based on public network video and discussion.

I have heard that the missing antenna is used to communicate with 5th Gen platforms like the J-20, as 5th Gen are capable of communicating tons of data on greater bandwidths than previous Gen so that's why China needs that datalink for synergy between it's fleet but currently there isn't any such requirement in PAF. So would save some $$ to drop that option in J-10CP. And opted for our own datalink Link-17 to better integrate within PAF fleet
Higher Throughout requiring antenna ?

Interesting
 
Has the question of whether or not the fuel tanks can be jettisoned in combat been resolved?

Additionally - has there ever been any pictures of confirmation that the inner pylons can carry Air-to-Air missiles?

The most logical load out would be central fuel tank - jammers on the fuselage hard points and 2 x Dual Racks with PL15s/SD10s(ie 8 BVRs) and like you suggest with PL-10 on the outer hard points. It is the ideal load-out to duke out a BVR fight with the Rafales given how many BVRs the Rafale can carry.

Let's see - i was surprised to see the picture of the JF17 Block III with 5 x PL-15 missiles as part of it's induction ceremony - so the PAF seems to have moved on from the "2 BVRs missiles are enough mentality". It would be odd if PAF inducted the J10C that can only carry 4 BVRs when it is planning to do more with the JF17 Block III.

The weapon carrying capacity difference between J-10C & Rafale are simply mind boggling. The J-10C carrying capacity is really pathetic.
 
J10-CE is the new dream jet for Pakistani kids now! Breath of fresh air!
Procuring the J-10 was primarily about war fighting ability, but also for the psychological aspect.

A new challenge for the Indians and a new jet to focus the minds of our Domestic audience as well as the opponent’s. It seems to be working.
