What's new

Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

More power full engine, speed and range and soon F16 will have AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile (JATM).

No point. PAF will not have the such potent missile from US. Given both F-16 and Rafale. I will take Rafale to have a higher survival chances against High G BVRAAM.
 
F-35 just needs some time to be mature.
And the cost of F-35 is close to the latest version of F-16, but F-16 is meaningless to F-35.
maintenance and flying cost for F16 is too much low as compare to F35. Stealth technology is the only advantage which F35 have, but in coming years, Powerful radars will be invented which can track F35 as well.

yup as far as PAF concern, USA will not sell even block 70 to Pakistan.

It is quite normal to every new fighter.

But it would be a worse news to non-stealth fighters.

Besides, 5th-generation fighters are not just stealth fighters.

Stealth tech isn't the only advantage stealth fighters like F-35 and J-20 have. Stealth fighters also feature advanced sensor fusion capability and powerful electronic warfare, not to mention very high maneuverability.

Upgraded 4.5 gen. fighter jets such as the J-10C, as well as F-16V, J-16 and F-15 Advanced Eagle, will stick around for a couple decades, however realistically they wouldn't remain up to 2070. In fact, an aircraft like J-10C would most likely be out service, or at least out of frontline duty, by somewhere around the 2040s-2050s.
