PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

Perhaps the pick of a ws-10b engine is also a test to check the reliability of Chinese engines, and how they'd fair in Pakistan's harsh environment. The jf-17 blk 4 (which is still in the drawing board) will most certainly see improvements in the engine department, and PAF Is said to be evaluating the Russian RD-93MA, perhaps if the WS-10B offers good results to PAF, they may be inclined to go straight Chinese.

During Musharaf days, it was offered but no minister that time claimed it like the way SR did it on Dec 28,2021. Moreever, PAF was getting Block 52s that time so there was no need for the J10A back than and most of our money was going into JF17s program nor India was getting anything like Rafales that time. Mind you, if we had a continued supply of F16s especially block 72s than PAF would had not opted for J10Cs at all.
Musharraf started all this. He went to visit J-10 factory. But asked China to provide the jet only with Chinese engines. Likewise agreed to participate financially in R&D costs.
Then came democracy. Zardari gobbled up 60% of PAF budget .
Pakistan failed to participate financially.
China failed to build jet engine.

It was 14 a while back.

Looks like some people are taking an interest.

Wo bharwa (Maj. Gobar Arya) bhee hoga idr.
He has lots of support among PMLN ,Maryam Nawaz social media gang.
They quote him abundantly on their social media handles.

Went to sleep last night and some members were still spreading gloom and doom doubting anything is coming and claiming even if true old planes will be inducted etc.

Those members should be given punishments by changing their profile pictures to this :

Thankfully the Chinese engine got confirmed. Next I believe you’d find that IRST on it too. :)

The bird didn’t lose any systems for Pak.
That is what i was trying to find in the posted images / pictures, alas images not the right angle to validate it.

PS: Congratz / Mubarek PAF and you 'ol.

So the dorsal EW antenna is missing. I don’t think it is too big a dea since J-10C’s prototype didn’t have it either, meaning that it could be added in a later upgrade.


EW? Seems as if the datalink antenna is missing?!

But since the PAF has it’s own datalink called Link Green 17, this eventually will be installed in PAC?

Was a JF17 blk4 confirmed by the PAF?

Turkey would go for J10C... With Turkish avionics suite....

Where will we base them ? Kamra? Sargodha? Jacobabad?

Kamra or Sargodha make sense if they are to directly counter Rafale at Ambala AFS. Besides we already supposedly have the Block 52s at Jacobabad. Kamra seems to be the most likely choice. Sargodha would be interesting though.

Agreed. PAF pulled the trigger on J-10 once it was confident with Chinese engines.

I heard rumors that Turkey was considering joining Pakistan in developing a JF-17B4.
