I think it's a beautiful name. And suits the Chinese Rafale very well because it's beautiful too.
Name calling only shows frustration my friend. I haven't rewind much further but I can see how the topic is building up lately. Let's cool it down now.
As far as J-10Cs are concerned, Here are the words of PAF F-16 Pilots who trained and did first ferry flight of J-10Cs.
“I’ll have to admit, it is one of the best fighter jets in the world. With all the work we had been doing in China over the months, improving our tactics in the way we operate the platform, I can safely say that the capability that we have brought back with us is truly phenomenal, far better than what we expected, sir,” Wg Cdr Imtiaz Rahim responded. It’s a significant investment, but in defense, nothing comes cheap. The J-10C is a cutting-edge platform, moving the PAF into a new ball game in terms of operational readiness, in terms of the nature of the platform the PAF was acquiring. When the “Second to None” team spoke with ground crews and the pilots, it was fair to say that the J-10C was a step in the right direction, something that the PAF had been working towards for a long time.
Calling Rafale / Eurofighter / F-16s as European J-10s or American J-10s -- Or calling J-10s as Chinese Rafale are just childish remarks and nothing else.
As far as Turks getting J-10Cs is concerned, In my opinion that would not happen, Turks have always used western equipment, there's no logistics for a totally different platform. So, ofcourse they would love to have the western jets. However, it faced some trouble getting those. It shows the so called allies of Turkey are not very sincere with it. Turkey first tried hard and lobbied for F-35s then it even lobbied for F-16 block 70s. Then some articles we all read that Turkey hints on other options (most likely russian) But that was i think only political statements to force US / europeans to consider Turkey's requirements. The Eurofighter aquisition makes much sense to me.
However, to the Turks friends: Don't take extreme positions, i think today Turkey is too important for NATO. But who knows 20 years later you are on other side and may partner with China on military tech and may even buy some of stuff.
Edit: @LegionnairE I see you calling Mastan and some other members as "dumb", "autistic". These are offensive remarks. You can never make fun on personality disorders. I am sure everyone here is intellectual enough but personality conditions like autism must NEVER be made fun of. They are very special and very beautiful people. They just have learning difficulties that they are borned with. You must never use it as a taunt.
