PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

[Imran Khan]

I was under the impression that a KC-130 is too slow to refuel an F-16 (even if a boom system is installed). But this picture says otherwise

It can't unless it has the boom system. Almost all pics you see of refuelling F15s and F16s are with KC135s or KC10s

A very welcome development.

One point I wanted to make regarding the issue of PAF not waiting for a 5th Gen jet and going for, what some people consider, a somewhat comparable albeit a bit better platform than JFT.

I think the strategic planners have to think about more than just the cost/capabilities of a particular platform in comparison to another. They also have to keep the geostrategic requirements in mind.

It may be that the next best platform is 10 years away and the strategic planners see a need in a time less than that.

We have to remember, the geostrategic situation has changed after the Indians revoked Article 370. It brought the Chinese into direct conflict with India as well. The Chinese have occupied a 1000km2 of previously Indian controlled territory.

The dynamic has changed significantly with the open entry of the Chinese into the Kashmir theatre.

It may be that there is something significant being planned or a need foreseen for which these purchases and developments are being made despite the financial difficulty Pakistan is currently facing.

Will China allows us to use J-10Cs in an exercise with a NATO country?

At the very least - we would have J10C and JF17s in exercises with PAF Block 52s

Salam all,

Excellent development although it had been under speculation for a long time that j10s will be inducted.

My hunch is that this is a starter and the main course is yet to come. It's a 3 course gourmet chinese meal ofcourse.

The point was to use refeuling to free up hard points taken by fuel tanks. this solution still uses a hard point for fuel tank.

Obviously CGI. Also, the model is J-10A.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

After induction that is obvious next step to put it against Rafale and S 400.

PLAAF might have already done it against their S400 so that knowledge would had been already passed into PAF in the last 2-3 years. P.S. why talking about S400 when we already have similar systems (albeit a bit lesser range) in the form of HQ16 and HQ9B. Let's pitch thunders , f16s and j10s against them and develop necessary tactics, S400 will be taken care of itself.

S400 will certainly have different/better algos regarding signal processing apart from increased range.
