J-10C defeats JAS39C/D with a high score in Sino-Thai joint exercise

[The Eagle]

I have some source from Thai that they didnt give 100percent for this exercise. Meaning some of the Gripen system did not utilised. This is requested by the manufacturer of Gripen as to keep secret about their system.

But anyway, Gripen is considered a light aircraft compare to J-10 which is a medium class. So in theory, its not a very fair fight.

Well as per norms for the national secrets, is it safe to assume that both sides did not reveal much rather choose to undertake an exercise within controlled manners/SOP of that day. I don't see China as well, revealing much to the opponent especially since a Westerner AC will have its library full of information for the OEM.

No, he is not taking jibes, in fact he is appreciating J10C ... just read his post carefully mate.

I know what I read and this is not about J-10C at all.

J-10C is an upgraded plane in series from A and then B. There was no technology of J-20 back in the days when PAF aid PLAAF to have some 50 upgrades/changes in J-10A to make it far more superior than its capability at that time. Let's not take jibes without any information merely to pretend like I know it all. In-fact those were not errors rather, suggested upgrades to bring it par with any existing capable fighter of that class as we operate Falcons & had experience in that domain hence, our requirement for more better Fighter Jet. I am sure, Air Marshall was supposed to know more than any online expert even if it was back in 2006. Not to forget that those 50 upgrades were advised when there was only J-10A however, the road map of a better class fighter brought it to what is called J-10C of today.

then why not buy it instead of Blk72s??? China can give 36 of them within weeks! all brand new!

J-10A had already defeated JAS-39C/D in 2017.

It also beat a local SU-30 during an exercise as well.

Thailand has bought S-26T submarine, Type 071E LPD, VT-4 tank, and so on. China also wants to know whether Thailand needs some J-10CEs...

It all depends upon our requirements V/s better options available per finances and making the most out of every option for more & more better product. One can't go shopping in such scenarios without exhausting every option. There is a lot difference between Buying & inducting a new plane into inventory as compare to already existing setup let alone the experience at hand. If it has to go by every point under merit to select one of two available products at hand; in-fact every professional out there even non PAF will suggest to go for Vipers. Beside our experience with Viper platforms; much of setup already exists for maintenance etc. Furthermore, let's say that a new bird will in-fact take couple of years for almost full familiarization, tactics development etc. new platform does need a lot of time & energy as well for induction as compare to existing setup+experience and that too for Viper.

However, if you are going to ask about that Vipers aren't coming then in-fact, we are about to unveil Thunder Block-III which, as per our doctrine & tactics/needs; will serve the purpose in most areas that J-10 can offer atm.

Does Thailand have Su-30?

That is more about the jibe against some 50 errors and PAF.

 

[HRK]

nope .....

he was referring about PLAAF Su-30 .....

most importantly without any pre conditions and full control

 

[LKJ86]

In PLAAF, Su-30MKK is 3rd-generation fighter, while J-10B and J-10C are 3.5th-generation fighters.

With Rafales now entering service in IAF, it now makes more sense for PAF to acquire 36 PAF-specific J-10Cs.

Maybe not ...
