PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

From a contact of mine, I hear the number 110+; let's see how quickly we can recover from this flood and other issues to get back on track with this. He mentioned another batch of pilots currently in China as we speak, getting ready for this. So we should be hearing good news soon. :)
So how many block 3 units will be bought if we are getting that many J-10Cs?

Capped at 50?
 
Hi,

Possibly---300 to 350 aircraft----for BLK 3 +++ configuration of the JF17 aircraft.

The BLK 3 is headed to take on the Rafale and come out ahead---. There is a surprise in the making---.

That's the confusing part; several years back, I heard they would cap the JF-17s at around 250. I hope that's not true, and we push it towards your 300-350 since we do not have to worry about parts, etc., unlike the Western platforms. But, honestly, this platform and J-10C are what we need to bulk on to get that parity with IAF; it would be foolish if we do not; there's enough real estate in Baluchistan and Sindh to establish large joint air bases with Pakistan Navy. Then we should have something in place on a rotating basis to position our planes in Qatar or Bahrain; if the Pakistan Navy gets its air arm, this will give us cover from North and South in the Indian Ocean.

I wish the Navy could get a couple squadrons of the J-16
 
Not sure why people keep bringing up Chinese flankers. China almost was unable to buy russian weapons when they ripped off the flanker. They were under a strict agreement not to sell any flankers externally. Short of Russia giving the go-ahead (which is virtually impossible in the current world political climate) the Chinese will never sell a flanker outside china.
 

appears to have been converted from a 07 batch J-10C (#701) powered by an AL-31FN engine and featuring an enlarged and straightened dorsal spine for additional avionics and fuel. This variant appears to have been developed for the PLAAF August 1st Aerobatic Demonstration Team (dubbed J-10CY?) to replace the old J-10AY/SY. The aircraft is also fitted with a new holographic HUD and has the twin 23mm guns removed. The new dorsal spine configuration is expected to be adopted by J-10D as well.

#LookingForwardToJ10D ....

Hi,

You must know by now that Paf does not leak out any information about future acquisitions---they show up---we get them.

As JF17 is pretty much our product---our numbers are unlimited---but for the J10's and F16's---we wait till we get them

I dont think we are looking for more than 200 JF-17 in total.

I wish we all knew. But unfortunately, PAF is very compartmentalized; even among the retirees, very few are selected to give input.

Just look at Feb 2019, where PAF surprised us all, even some with deep connections to PAF.

Most of my relatives are Pakistan Army branches, but it's not something to discuss.
 
Something is different here
