Look at its this way..
Can the J-10B's under-testing radar match the range of the rafale's RBE-2 radar ..yes
Can the J-10B's AESA system incorporate all the modes available to the RBE-2 along with the SAR picture refinement? NO
Can the J-10B's EW suite detect ESA systems and warn the pilot before hand? YES.
Can the J-10B's EW suite(based on what we know with the JF-17 and its integrated and external ECM suite) provide protection by offering both noise and deceptive jamming along with an intermediate DRFM? YES
Is the J-10B's sensor fusion as efficient as the Rafale (offering omnirole engagement capability)? NO...the J-10B cannot attack both ground and air targets simultaneously...it has to change radar modes.
Can the J-10B's Man-machine interface match that of the rafale... YES
Does the J-10B have a HOBS missile and a HMS system? YES
However, these are the specifications of the aircraft seen being tested at Chengdu.. NOT the FC-20..
because the FC-20 is still a fluid concept which has yet to be finalised by the PAF on what has to be fitted..and what not.
It is without a doubt, that the FC-20 will incorporate MORE than this machine that sits at Chengdu.
Hence.. I see no reason not to compare the J-10B or the Eurocanards..
It may not be able to match them in all spheres of combat aircraft performance.. but it certainly holds the ability to match them in air combat.
atleast open the links before posting where does they mention Pakistan buying j10 its all media speculation. any links from mod?
Links exist throughout the forum, this meeting may or may not have brought up the subject..
since it may not have made it into the report..
After all.. most people will not report if the PAF Chief asked the Chinese guest if he would like some tea.
HOWEVER..the current status of the FC-20 for the PAF is still a LoI(letter of intent) for the purchase..and no Order has been placed YET.
