engine is a subsystem,we still have 5 years to improve it.but Aerodynamic exterior can't change.
As you guy don't belive China will develope 5'th G fighter so quikely before,Don't use a few years,China will also give you a suprise.
Reference the mode of FC-1/JF17,(also K8,MBT2000 )project.China Providing loans,Pakistan Establish aviation industry,then sold it to ather country to earn money.Egypt has determine introduce JF17,and there will be more potential country.It's Benign circulation.
I believe there are far more...
May I ask why India customized T50 2 seater version?For Russia's avionics level is low make you add a person?
F22 one seat,F35 one seat,Russia PAK-FA one seat,J20 one seat,JXX one seat........
High level avionics fire control circumstances,No humanizing is trend.But why India makes more seater...
I think the most important is developing econemic for Pakistan.Stable environment can attract investment.
5'th G fighter is so expensive to purchase and maintenance.Even USA just equipt 180 F22.
I preffer a steath version of J10 is Suitable for Pakistan.We can joint...
Yes,I heard somebody said:All test is OK,and J10B will be induct in2011.
Although the best Air combat ability fighter is J10B in China,There are two points limit it:
1:engine,WS10A still have time to improve stability,and Increase thrust.PLA won't equipt lots unless engine will be OK...
There is some pneumatic Structure layout difference between J10A and J10B,so it can't say update to J10B level.and PLA has lots of J7s/J8s to replace,so upgrate J10a to J10B is Very low cost-effectiveness ratio.You should know the avionics of j10A is in high standard now.
And It's much more...
J20(CAC leading,SAC assist) is Air superiority.
I belibve SAC's 5'th G fighter will be Conventional layout,super regula.
And one thing i can sure:China won't follow Russia.Needless to say Su47.
JH7B won't change much to JH7A,Engine increase pushed,Fuselage weight loss,Local stealth change shoule be reality.Because time and efficiency is more important.
China's leaders Like two legs to walk(which means double insurance).
J11--J10
J11BS--JH7A
J16--JH7B
J20--J10-21--JXX(Multi-purpose...
Maby shengyang(SAC,which developed J15) is developing anather Multi-purpose five generations of aircraft.If it's true,also it will be two-engines heavy fighters.
In my opinion:5'th G fighter is a offensive weapons,long combat radius and Large load are important for offensive strategy of PLA.This is limited of J10X.
That's why i guess J10-21 is Suitable for Pakistan.
