old batch or new batch?

If anything, it shows how poor the A-G capability is for this fighter, even worse when you consider its a delta wing.

I don't think Pakistan purchased the J-10 for its surface attack capability. It would be employed in air superiority role and there it has a pretty impressive load-out.

Hi,

There are around 250 other aircraft for ground strike capability---why does the J10 needs to be in the running for that.

Cause in the eyes of some, PAF is a multi-role fighter force at this time and age and if an induction can't be true / impressive multi-role then it doesn't fit the bill.

Hi,

Thank you. You are correct---first major major change in the thinking of the Paf that has been applied in practice as well..

Did Pak order any dual seater J-10's?

Disappointing. This would mean JFT's A2G arsenal has to grow.

Yes and no. It's A-A loadout is just average of any medium sized fighter, ie 6 missiles and tanks not impressive but just standard/expected.

Every aircraft has to be in the running for that. J-10 will be too. It's multirole.

Hi,

You have answered your own question.

Hi,

Paf used to disclose these things years ago---but for now---they have shutdown the leak.

We will know when we see them.
