not really Read my post - on my crude analysis about the significance of J-10, this was a couple of months back.If Pak does go for J10's then they should set up a production line in Pak and make atleast
150 of them.
Hello @Akh1112 , Jf-17 has its own enabled features for the Pakistan air force. The J-10c platform may not be the requirement of the PAF as we have F-16s and JFT blk 3 is in the production line and as you stated the Jf-17 block 3 will be ably to do what ever is known to us, that the J-10 can.
It is a very common fact that: accurate information about eastern equipment is not easily accessible if it is accessible at all.
Now I see your concern about the Anti ship role but I can assure that over the years the Pakistan navy has built its air arm and naval fleet to take care of those encounters.
PN has a dedicated anti ship squadron by the PAF and those planes ar'nt going anywhere till the next 2-3 elections. + jf-17 can full fill the anti ship role
Well right now we are discussing about the (AIR SUPERIORITY ROLE) and that is where the J-10C comes in.
Is J-10c a A/S type air craft? no not really but it can adopt to the role like the block 52.
What advantage does the j-10 give us over the jf-17?
1. bigger engine with higher thrust
2. better maneuverability
3. 4 additional hard points (wet plumb and outboard sensor capability)= better survival rate and endurance
4. better thrust ratio will allow you to climb higher and go faster (Extremely Important in BVR)
Like the F7-pg purchase The J-10 can be cheaper stop gap solution.
J-10 in my opinion has a better survival rate than the Jf-17 in independent fighting role.
PAF does not require a large number of J-10 just a couple, To come and support the Jf-17 so the JF can actually go and do what it needs to do.
2 full squadrons of 16 planes are enough to stop the gap AND that is of-course not going to happen because idk.
J-10 can be stop gap measure until we get a real AS fighter.
