Sheikh Rasheed confirms/hints about buying J-10 Jets

[Ultima Thule]

Would be not used effectively it is a much better air superiority fighter, JF-17 would be a better ground attack fighter with CMs.

And combat radius/range with heavy payloads is low for JF-17 hence there is Chances that JF-17 being intercepted by the enemy, but J-10 has bigger combat radius/range with heavy payloads to stay out of enemy air defenses

Again, this problem could easily be solved by using ground based platforms but it seems this idea will never be used to its fullest capability.

oh bro J-10 is a multi role jet like F-16 not a pure air superiority jet like you think, world expert is comparing j-10 wit a top multi role jets rather than pure air superiority jets like F-15C/Su-27

What is EFT, it is 3500 pounds heavier with similar avionics but is classified and used as air superiority. Why do you think that is?

 

[PakShaheen79]

NO J-10 or EFT are coming. NO F-16s are coming (anytime soon).
Let's bring BLOCK-3s ... only realistic option.

You may be right about that.

 

[Safriz]

Let's stop day dreaming .
JF-17 Block 3 is the only real non fantasy thing coming. Everything else is a pipedream.

Acquisition of J-10 stalled due to 2 reasons.
Zardari era corruption which left no money with PAF to do anything other than pay wages and barely cover day to day expenses and Chinese inability to make a reliable own engine. PAF had a pre requisite for J-10 to have a Chinese engine.

 

[Muhammad Omar]

J-10C are the best possible acquisition to replace our 5 decade Old Mirages hope it's true

are you having comprehension Problem?? i clearly sates PAF likes more Multi role than SINGLE MISSION AIR SUPERIORITY, EFT Tranche-1 have not air to ground attack capabilities, whereas EFT tranche-2 has limited ground attack capability, and Tranche-3 is extremely expensive

Again, I'm saying that J-10 can serve as a air superiority fighter similar to EFT which is used as a frontline air superiority fighter by one of the best air forces in the world. J-10C is not like F-16 unless you are speaking on the F-16V.

No its not main air defense jet for China but main air defense fighter of PLAAF are J-11 series of Jets, its similar in concept of USAF combo of F-15/F-16, and you're nobody to place a verdict that J-10 is a air superiority jet but a multi role jet, similar to F-16

Again, EFT 2000 is air superiority for the UK even though it is only about 3500 pounds heavier then the J-10 and much lighter then heavy air superiority fighter. J-10 can be an air superiority fighter as well for an air force that needs one.

You're nobody to say J-10 is an air superiority jet Especially J-10B and C

The F-15, F-22 and the Typhoon can all zoom climb and preach at high altitudes to establish that superiority over large volumes of air space. I don’t know enough about the J10s to say if it can or can’t be used successfully in the same role.

It was geared more towards air superiority then anything in PAF inventory once it gets an AESA radar.

What is the EFT in your opinion as an air superiority fighter? J-10C is getting TVC nozzles, and a very powerful engine in the WS-10.
