File Photo: Facing the serious threat from India’s Rafale fighter jets, Bangladesh has an urgent demand for China's J-10 fighter jets.
Why is India's 30th state afraid of Federation?
 
Ra'ad and sd-10 are already able to fitted with JF-17 blk-2, PL-15 is already confirmed on BLK-3 @Muhammad Omar
Ra'ad is not fitted with JF-17 yet but will be and will be on the wing not under the belly


While J-10 easily carrty 4 pL-15 under the wings with drop tanks and RA'AD under it's belly hell difference in their payloads configuration

See the 4 hardpoints of J-10 apart from drop tanks
In JF-17 minus the drop tanks and you can just carry 2 Raad with Pl-15 or SD-10

Yes blk-2 is able to carry Ra'ad on wings, you don't know what is meaning of Strike mission is and blk-2 have double capability to carrying SD-10 4 on duel racks @Muhammad Omar

Let me clear it again

JF-17
2 Ra'ad + 4 SD-10 / PL-15 + 2 PL-10E

J-10C
1 Ra'ad + 2 drop tanks + 4 SD-10 / PL-15 + 2 PL-10E

Also J-10 can carry pods with easy under it's belly with drop tank at the back

Do u think j-31 is matured platform that we can induct those with in a year ? If today we start thinking about j31s still it requires half decacde to see thim in PAF colors

If that is the case then we are in deep ****; because Rafale is indeed a game changer.

J-31 is not coming before 2025 for sure and it only has 2 prototypes yet

We need J-10 as replacement of our decades old Mirages

As I said above, if the J-31 is not ready then we are in deep ****; We will have nothing to counter Rafale which is very unfortunate.
 
The Mirages are indispensable for PAF at the moment because of their strike potential via H2/4 missiles. I doubt JF-17 will have the ground clearance to carry these as havnt seen specs stating it can carry those. Can any member check if J-10C has the required ground clearance for the H2/4. If yes then the J-10C is a perfect Mirage replacement, because don't expect Azm/J-31 to be able to carry H2/4 as well.

For the AA role JF-17 Block-3 offers similar capabilities but the H-2/4 capability is something which really gave PAF a edge over India in strike capability.

Even if PAF has ordered any J-10C to counter Rafael acquisition we will only find out when they will be delivered.

J-10 was designed for the AA role at the beginning (J-10A defeated Thailand's Gripen C/D from BVR to WVR in 2017), and now turns into multirole.
