Yea probably J10B was a bargain at that time 36 planes for some billion $ on soft loansAnd the air force hated him for stepping in their turf. But then the potency of the chinese awacs shut the mouths of the paf.
China at there time was relatively new in this field, we have tried to used western radars on even our fighters in the past that we acquired from China. ZDK-03 however proved itself and is upto the task. A few months back (may be around a year or so) there were talks of PAF going for more ZDK-03 but that never materialized. They now have even better models to offer of PAF want to consider those.And the air force hated him for stepping in their turf. But then the potency of the chinese awacs shut the mouths of the paf.
J10B could have been a amazing catch first Nation to fly it beside China , Chance lost
We could have retired 40 old mirages

Israel walked away from the lavi cus of american pressure, and military aid to buy U.S war planes.Hi,
My assessment is that he is LYING about J10 still being considered---.
I think that the " heat " of not getting the right aircraft in a timely manner is getting to the Paf---but as most of the pakistanis are illiterate about weapons systems---the Paf can make a kind of " whitewash " statement to pary the obejection from the public.
Unless the J10 is forced upon the Paf---they are not considering that aircraft.
Here is the thing---the JF17 is a great aircraft on its own merit---but in the presence and availability of the J10---there was no need for it---.
The JF17 program should have been stopped and all investments made in the J10 program---. All assembly and manufacturing rights acquired---.
Just for comparison---the Israeli air force walked away from the Levi once the F16 became available to them.
Even though the JF17 is a great aircraft---it would still be a notch below the J10--- + there was no basic & tactical need to continue---rather a blunder.

Ego of the Paf.
