The J10b is nothing but a name given to it by internet forums. Officially the plane does not exist so it doesn't even have a name. Though it might end up actually being J10b similar to J11b. The idea that this is the plane pakistan is going to get makes more sense considering PAF chief had...

J-10 fighter enters international market at $40 million Recently, the U.S. think tank, International Assessment and Strategy Center, published an article about the Chinese J-10 fighter. The article claimed that the J-10 fighter is about to enter the international market after 2010, while...

So its going to be unarmed? like the Falco? Don't we have that already? InshaAllah, Pakistan will launch its own drone--and armed one--soon based on our experience, the ToT we got from Falco and some assistance if needed from China and/or Turkey. US can keep its "unarmed" drones to itself.

US to give Pakistan unarmed drones' technology: Gates ISLAMABAD: In a major shift in policy, the US said Thursday it would provide drone technology to Pakistan but only for unarmed aircraft - to partly meet a demand this country has been making for over a year. "Pakistan's demand for...

The MLU will be exactly like the blk 52 except for 3 things - No change in thrust - No enhanced range/weight and probably one more thing that is not coming to my mind right now. Otherwise, it will be upgraded with the same features as a blk 52. Same radar (APG68v9), same avionics, ECM, etc.

That would be the future radars or maybe even retrofits on previous ones but the first 42 aircrafts definitely have Chinese made radars, KLJ-1. (Note that AFM mentions it as KLJ-1 but it could be a typo and actually be the KLJ-10)

Exactly! I cant believe that some people here believe we will 'shoot' down drones or this is a message to US. When will people come to term with the reality that these drones fly from within pakistan. Why on earth will anyone shoot them when they let them fly in the first place?

Well in this case, I think you got it wrong. The gripen was being considered as an alternative to developing JF-17 and not as a hi-end fighter. A gripen is not an alternative to a hi-end, medium weight fighter that can carry more load, have more hardpoints, bigger radar, ECM, etc because of...

I would rather be high :lol: Lets just say some fat a** bosses got even fatter a**e$ as a result of this plane while being low observable.

If I understand right, you are saying that having experience on different aircraft would help us learn more and thus help us come up with better requirement for Jf-17. Did I get it right or thats not what you are saying? If I did, then my point is no..you cannot possibly be looking at one...

I can't say about time but you did use a ridiculous amount of money. As far as the JF-17 is concerned, its even beyond funny to say its going to be a stealth fighter, if not for anything else then just the fact that if it ever is a stealth fighter, it will be another plane altogether. You...

Batman, I am surprised by some of your views. Maybe you can clarify a few points in there - Why do you think Gripen would have "helped improve the quality" of JF-17. What exactly would have improved by getting the Gripen that is lacking now? and how would getting a gripen improve it...

This news is from Jan 15th and I posted it the same day. I did a quick look around but didn't see it let alone find 8 other people had also posted it. I am sorry this thread hurt you, will try to be more careful next time. **** Here are some pics and a nice chronological...

Lockheed Martin delivers first two upgraded P-3C Maritime Aircraft for Pakistan WASHINGTON, Jan 15 (APP): American security company Lockheed Martin has recently delivered two of seven upgraded P-3C maritime surveillance aircraft for Pakistan under the U.S. Government’s Foreign Military Sales...

I am not sure if a high thrust version of the engine exist as of today (please correct me if I am wrong) but its a proposition for future engines.

Its in Euros not pound so around US$ 580million. Another thing in the paper that makes it doubtful is the claim that China offered a 'mix of J-10 and FC-1'. Now who would go for two platforms (maintenance, training, tactics, suppliers, etc) for just 20 planes? That's like not even a squadron of...

How can the paper claim China offered both FC-1 and J-10 to Myanmar considering they were competing against Russian planes? In other words, why would Russia supply engines to a plane that drives it out of business? AFAIK, the engine deal was that it cannot be offered to nations where Russian...

Your answer is the post you have quoted, so please read carefully. If I were a JF-17 (or any other aircraft) pilot, I wouldn't even worry if an R-77 was launched from 175km. Infact, I would make sure I stay where I am so it won't even hit me by mistake :lol: while I'm wandering around. On...

You do realize that planes fight with missiles and not radars, right? Its not like you will be firing your radar from 350km at your enemy :lol: As long as you have a decent-range, accurate and efficient radar with accompanying good missiles, you can enter the battle with a fair chance. In...

Falco is being purchased because it is bigger, uses more sophisticated technology and especially has a better engine. That is why it is purchased with ToT, hence enabling us to move towards next generation of UAVs. While Falco itself is not armed, we are going to use the technology from it to...
