What will PAF name FC-20 how about he mythical bird of the tales of the Arabian Nights, the Roc.


wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackburn_Roc

FC-20 is the designation used by PAF rather than CAC or PLAAF. The only Known designations are
FC-1---------JFT
FBC-1---------JH-7A
FTC-2000---------Significantly Modified and Redesigned F-7 for training purposes.
Russians used FC-10 for J-10 but neither CAC not PLAAF has ever used this word.
PAF uses Vanguard with its FC-20..

Pakistan has missiles to compensate for that, they probably count their squadrons mostly for air combat.

Name a few---.

The delay in mass production and export of j-10b is connected with development of chinese ws-10 engine.
The PLAAF currently doesn't use ws-10 engine in any if their main aircrafts,as none can accommodate ws-10,. Only j-10b can be fitted with ws-10 engine.
The previous engine manufacturing facility was having priblems in mass producing ws-10 engines,so the production was recently moved to new location in Guangzhou.
Same facility will produce the ws-15 engine for Chinese top dog the J-20.
We have seen recent videos of j-10b being tested with new engine,alongside j-20 . PLAAF is comfortably using j-10a and in no urgency to replace them,so don't need to rush the mass production of ws-10 engine.
It is plausible that mass production of ws-10 is tied with whenever ws-15 engine matures and is certified for use in j-20,and we may see j-10b and j-20 entering final production together,and that may be a few years away.

but this thing is not good for us , as we are in dare need of j-10bs ......
j-10b need to be part of PAF in coming years in order counter growing air threats

i thought ws-10 was already stating to come in J-11???

and do you think J-20 will b ready in a few years!!?

how come, j10,j20 be ready together?!! i think J20 still has much time for induction,unless its rushed ofcourse.

They are producing a limited numbers of WS-10 improved version...
But that cannot even fulfill their domestic needs at the moment and export comes after domestic demands have been fulfilled.
Recently the production has been shifter to Guangzhou,the chinese industrial hub..Lets see if that ratchets up the production.

what i meant that do newer J-11s use ws-10?

Yes..

The new WS-10A uses on J-10B will feature much higher thrust of more than 13200kg. Precisely meeting the higher thrust is the problem for J-10B late induction into PLAAF. Latest info is J-10B will not just be testbed for J-20 but will enter service soon. Rumour a squadron is currently in GAD test centre under evaluation and will be certify soon to enter service soon.

The export version FC-20 will use WS-10B engine which is better than WS-10A..
The engine is in the improvement phase alongside the improvements being made for J-20 in Ws-15 engines..
We may have to wait a bit more but we will see a very powerful and reliable machine flying in Pakistani skies...

These are among the 30 Chinese Academy of Engineering Academicians invited to tour PLAAF units and a GAD testing facility, the footage also shows JH7 814 and a Y8 GX, which had its rear ramp open but clearly partitioned off inside.
