Another PAF J-10C Exclusive.

Might be worth discussing delta and canards with A2G payload in bombing runs and CAS missions when Mirages are retired.

they are too fast for CAS.
drones might take CAS roles together with helecopter gunships

Strike Corps in Indian territory cannot work without aircraft cover, drones/gunships will get shot down. The onus will fall on fighters in both scenarios - A2A and A2G.

People tend to like things from their own age group.

Actually @Imran Khan just hates F-7 jets .... the post of @Trailer23 was a tongue in cheek remarks ....

WO Imran bhai tange keech rah tha ...

She is a real beauty

indeed but every dressed does not suits her perfectly ..... in her case "Simplicity is the Beauty"

@SQ8 @Talon @PanzerKiel @MastanKhan @HRK @Irfan Baloch @Trailer23


Where are all those critical of the paint scheme.

@Windjammer ... bhai one such guy is me ....

F7 is mig21 copy its times were ended in 1990.

We'll keep one Squadron of the F-7's just for @Imran Khan - because of his undying love for those old relics.

ALL will crash with in few days . Ghareeb ki dua hi kafi hai

If it gets the job done, wouldn't worry about paint schemes as priority then.

with two camo simultaneously inducting, where are we going with numbers to induct into two different roles with this first bulk?

omnirole, being announced about J10, it seems aircraft dedicated to these two camo with different roles will be different from eachother in sensor suite and armaments?

 

[SQ8]

I have asked this question repeatedly but the people I know in the PAF are not commenting.
if their assigned squadrons are not a give away about their specific role then I would suggest to look at their procurement with time of weapons procured along with them.

air superiority? multi role? escort deep strike? make your pick based on their payload.

still not satisficed? then take my nontechnical fanboy category for them.

they are unhinged PAF F-16s without limits.

The original FC-20A (J-10A) requirement was for a strike aircraft - hence they are A2G.

The J-10B input by PAF was based upon wanting a F-16 alternative.

Then the Chinese added J-20 research back into the J-10C and the PAF found the sensor + weapon(PL-15) combo to outstick the meteor.

So essentially the J-10C fulfills long standing ASR requirements to replace the Mirage in deep strike(the saga that began with the M2k), allow a F-16 like multirole platform for OCA and finally maintains the sensor-shooter edge over the IAF(who are incidentally scrambling to negotiate more Rafales and even considering F-35s under the China excuse.. as if they will ever fire a single bullet at the Chinese)

The CAS of yesterday is not the CAS of today and that is true - more importantly, why even let the need for CAS occur when an interdiction mission will suffice.
Today you need to sanitize and supress the IBG’s air cover and attached LOMADs(Akash) - so shoot down and/or push away the fighter cover while you launch stand off dispensers and hit mobilization infrastructure,
A 4-ship J-10C with 2 JF-17s post air to air refueling providing can potentially push off any air cover(just making them go in retreat so they cannot prevent the launch of standoff munitions is enough) over a moving assets of a IBG, suppress air defense via both EW pods and their AESA radars, hitting one or two Tracking radars of batteries with ARMs / while launching 3-4 glide munitions that could both dispense cluster munitions or hit a critical bridge or C4I asset that could add a few hours to many days for that IBG to regroup. Buying time that the PA needs to put the required numbers it needs to make any “thandi shuruwaats” extremely costly

Still very critical

Strike Corps in Indian territory cannot work without aircraft cover, drones/gunships will get shot down. The onus will fall on fighters in both scenarios - A2A and A2G.

So will fighter jets. Especially those flying low to carry out A2G missions.

What is with that smoke machine reveal thing?

I can't put my finger on it, but this picture seems to be of a model and not a real plane.

OP is usually easily tricked by WhatsApp forwards, so that is another reason to wait for additional confirmation.

Again, this is a faint feeling, So pl. feel free to correct me.

 

[Trango Towers]

They will gradually replace the Mirages.... Possibly PG-7s later.

If PAF had some sense they would turn the old mirages and F7s into drones and use them for S400 location and other dangerous well defended ground targets like airfield and Naval bases etc

 

[SIPRA]

How many of them, we have?
