There's an Indian Twitter handle that claims Pakistan MoD got hacked and displayed documents showing the J-10C and PL-15 deal. $10.17 billion RMB (~$1.5B USD) for 20 J-10CE, 240 PL-15E, 10 spare WS-10B and a FMS and associated stores and services.

Interest rate at 4.15%, no pre-payment penalties for the loan to be paid over 11 years.

Should I post the Twitter link here?

Post it. But I don't think it's true. At minimum, it's 36 jets, and 54 have also been mentioned.

~75 mil a piece for 4.5 Gen aircraft, weapons package, spares on long term soft(ish) loan is a bad deal?

Looks like a very good deal to be honest.

For a chinese aircraft that is meant to have lower labour costs - to me - yes - feels expensive - esp when you factor in the lower airframe lives Chinese jets have in general.

And for all those reasons it’s a fraction of the cost of all recent 4.5 Gen deals. All the others are coming out be be hundreds of millions a pop. For instance the rafale deal india made.

P.S.: we don’t know the airframe life of the latest Chinese jets, J10C included, but with all the advances it surely must be on par or almost on par with the competition.
