It was a single news piece that created doubts in many minds. Let me state that they are coming for sure. The J-10 B was made for PAF as Chinese are even happy with the A version. J-10 B (FC-20) IS the Pakistani version of J-10 exclusively made by China on our specifications including Nriet AESA radar. Our pilots are taking part in test and evaluation phase since its creation.
China also has another J-10"B" variant with PLAAF specifications. These "B" variants have to be equipped with Chinese made engines.
The J-10B with DSI intake has been discussed as the PAF variant in China. China is helping to develop a suitable FC-20 that can put up a credible fight against MKI or MRCAs.
