PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

[TheDarkKnight]

The bit about J10Cs being roughly equivalent of Block 52s is funny. That's all. =)

Funny in which way? J10 is below f16 or above?

Above

 

[satyamev]

congrats.

Not a chance at this stage. The Chinese are not going to give away their back-bone fighter to people (turks) they do not trust.

the j10c which is claimed to be equivalent to the f16 52 is the backbone of the Chinese airforce ? The f16 52 variant came in the 90s ?
The AESA in the j10 must be giving it a leg up to the f16 ?

Why?
Block 52 has 7.7 tons of payload capacity.
Why do you think J-10c will have lesser?

Block 52 has its own role to play, but tip of the spear thing will go to 10Cs. The long sticks are being added to the arsenal for a good reason.

It's another thing that zero block 52 were used during operation swift retort. All were older B versions.

The first deployment of J-10 will clarify a lot about their position within the force.

They were used, just not in that area

Yes...only one was used, which was shot down by Abhinandan

 

[The SC]

What's the payload capacity of J-10C,? Can't find a credible answer. Any ideas?

It has an estimated empty weight of 8850 kg and maximum weight of 19277 kg..

Bajwa uncle or hadsome imran khan.
Abhi J-20 bhi dilado, wese bhi pak cheen bhai bhai hai na.
Would be a sight to see J-20s converging on India from East and North of its border.

Donot want to sound negetive but there is no confirmation of this possibility from the circles that matter. ISPR only had a veiled responce over this issue. Sheikh Rasheed is in no way a credible source for this kind of information. Even the MoD has not even confirmed this news. Sheikh Rasheed in my opinion was just trying to score some political points against Rafale and S-400 induction by IAF. Maybe later there is something planned as a stopgap measure. But for 23rd March i would not be too eager, may be a flypast of Block IIIs but who knows!!!!!!

Do you believe now ??

Will Turkey Seek Chinese Or Korean Fighters If F-16 Request Is Denied?

If Turkey continually refuses to compromise with the U.S. and NATO on the S-400, its F-16 fleet will inevitably suffer the consequences.

Ohaha.....and I thought my jokes were bad...

 

[Zarvan]

J-10 C is way above F-16 Block 52 that is the very reason we went for J-10 C. Other wise we would have remain stuck to F-16 and produced more JF-17 BLOCK III

Anyone who doubted Shaikh Rasheed Ahmed

Actually Shaikh Rasheed is a politician and like many politicians he has his fair share of his idiocies and number of haters as well.

BTW Shaik Rasheed was the first one who at the time of F-16 purchase did the same stunt, he was the one who in an interview announced its agreement even before the announcement from US and Pakistani governments, he was Information Minister at that time and he specifically mention not only F-16 purchase but their corresponding blocks as well.

He is among one of few Politicians in Pakistan who have interest in defence systems but lack knowledge and understanding in these matters.
