World Exclusive: F-16 Block-52 Flying With J-10C

Only the Pakistan Air Force can field this formation of best of aircraft from East and West. Now talk about the Americans don't want their technology revealed to China and vice versa.

I hope we could at least run the Block-52s through the F-16V upgrade. Imagine a world where only the PAF would know "what's up" with both the cutting-edge US and Chinese gear. Too bad we didn't pick up Leonardo's Grifo-E for the JF-17 Block-3 because that would've given us the 'trifecta' of US, Chinese, and European AESA radar tech under roof.

This is really a special picture. I wish it was more clear.

It is indeed.... Shall we say, J-10 Escorting the Viper.

You never know when PLAAF can replicate this photo.

So in terms of capability for PAF with 1. being most advanced:

1. J-10CE
2. JF-17 Block 3
3. F-16 Block-52

The Indians already have a problem with the F-16 Block-52 in terms of capability, they now have a peer airforce in S Asia and their hopes of dominance over PAF are gone for good now.

Hi Bilal, IF PAF only got permission for Özgür Project like upgrade? Would that be good enough? how inferior would it be to f16V?

Grifo E is not the most advanced European tech by a mile.

It will be totally leapfrogged by the Mk. 2 AESA radar that is in development for the UK version of the Typhoon. I doubt whether it is any better than the Chinese AESA on the JF-17 Block 3.

Very Unique occasion while on ground the J10C looks similar to F16 but in Air you can clearly see it is a unique machine.

JF-17 Block III is more closer to F16 from physical characteristic point of view

Don't think Grifo-E would integrate with PL-15. or?

The J-10 C is about Six feet longer and Two feet taller than the F-16. First PAF fighter aircraft with Canards.

J10 looks giant compared to F-16 in this pic.

Just hope we can have F16V upgrade for our F16s

Phew, imagine Qatari Rafales plus the F-15s in a DACT vs F-16s Block 52+, JF-17 Block-III and J-10CP or different combos of the listed air-crafts, a mouth watering exercise for sure.

PS: Will the lead F-16 give way to the J10CP to lead the duo during the parade, like the change of guard drill ?
