Its YOU who needs to the research. According to what I've been reading on PDF for
months, the FC-20 will be a Pakistan-specific variant of the J-10B.
PLAAF currently operates only J-10A, the J-10B isn't in active service as yet, some
say it will never be inducted as its only meant to be a testbed ac.
No chinese aircraft with the name FC-20 has flown. To tell the truth,
the very deal
for acquiring these fighters in yet to be signed! After the deal is signed and
Pakistan begs money from USA to pay for the costs, the first FC-20 prototype will
fly. And it'll take some more years for it to be delivered to PAF. I estimate signing
of deal + 3 years to acquire the first operational fighter into PAF. God knows when
the deal will be signed, and when Pak acquires the wallet
We have around 200 MKIs in service
by the time you get FC-20 that no. will
go up to 250+. And maybe first Rafale squadron will also be ready.
