Picking holes ?? I have no clue what you are getting that idea from? But let me make it clear. My objective is stright forward for having this debate. I want to know what PAF wanted to see in J-10 when it evaluated it along with world's top notch delta wing / canard designs (EF/Rafale)? What were the reason it was not adopted at that time? Was it possibilities of getting more F-16s (may be used one) or something else. We must bear in mind, we are talking about a time when even Block-II was no where near production let alone block III which entered preliminary design phase in 2016-17 and no one knows when its first flight would be let along serial production. So, what was that? You brought a very valid point Mirage 3/5s in PAF. May be PAF wanted to see a massive jump in terms of strike element in J-10 compared to ROSE upgrades. But was it the reason or among the reasons??
