PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

. . .
This is what happens when a man not even qualified to be a chaprasi is made Interior minister and made privy to information way above his comprehension level :hitwall:

But, after DG ISPR press conference, we know that J10s are definitely coming. It however remains to be seen whether they are A/B/C/S models, how many, or whether the reason we are not hearing of a Block 4 JF17 is because JF production is to be replaced by J10 production.

Lets see, should be a fun year.
 
. . .
What you folks think that IF, J-10C are coming and that is the only acquisition/new capability as usual? Think about the future ahead of us. Think about the limits you might expect to cross to strengthen defence & enhance capability. Think.....
Our greatest and perennial weakness has always been our underdeveloped economy and industry. Our virtually non existent technological base, and most of all lack of a strong, honest and patriotic leadership at the top will ensure our precarious existence continues into the foreseeable future. Therefore, our arms procurements will follow the same pattern of the past, unfortunately!

Are the rear underfuselage hardpoints at the rear, wired with a databus? Can anything smart be attached to them ?

ie how are the various hardpoints configured ? Anyone come across a diagram showing which weapons are supported on which hardpoints?

As the image below on the rafale shows - it can be equipped with smart weapons on under fuselage its rear-hardpoints. Wondering if the J10C designers made similar considerations?

AFAIK the rear ones are only for general purpose bombs, but as already noted by others they are rarely in use anyway.

Certainly supports what I have read as well. However it has had to be redesigned since then. Most likely there was a protoype crash in the late 90s which led to a rehash of design. Obviously we rely on open source information which is unvarifiable given the Chinese secrecy.

Logic demands IN will eventually procure the Rafale for its Navy.

Correct; unfortunately, Chinese have a nasty habit of trying to plagurise and no give any credits - just like they called the Su' series their own. Just look at J9- it was nothing more than a rehash of J8 which was already so obsolete in early 80s; J9 was very similar take to Su-15; they could not even copy a 707. Here the blueprints were handed over plus not to mention several areas of engagement that were occurring. Lavi blueprint represented a quantum leap for them. True they improved the design and moved it forward; but the DNA is Lavi.
Let the J-10C arrives at once. There will be talks and people will start reading tid bits in near future. It is bigger than an equipment.

Correct -there is just too much excitement .. let us hope it does not turn out to be a dud 500+ pages like we saw with that bogus F16 wildgoose chase thread.

Wait and see is best policy.

F-16 fuselage section means nothing,Hundreds F-16 had been crash at the past 40 years i don't think anyone had been R&D a jet base these fuselage sections.don't you know the us wants to export their F-16 with old J79 to China at 1980s,but China refused it.Canard delta wing J-10 is totally different from F-16.
I think this post completely defines your understanding of the subject and context - which is shallow at best and childish at worst. Ill give you a hint - both the F-16 and J-10 have fuselages and the blended structure within them has links.

I think the J-9 was a different single engine design attempt but possibly attached with risks that they did not want to undertake.

You may be thinking of the J-8 whose reason of similarity was the similar paths they took. The Su-15 came as an evolution from the Su-11.

The J-8 was literally slapping two J-7s together. Its initial iteration looks exactly like that.MiG also did this with the Mig-21 but did not go beyond to add the large radome.

Why degenerate the discussion to name calling a fellow PDFer @luciferdd as shallow, childish? Since you have done so perhaps better enlighten us about your "hint". Let's move focus back to the fuselage not personal of fellow poster, the J-10A employs a splitter plate intake (and then DSI later) while F-16 employs pitot tube intake, how does this contribute to the "links" or "copy" story?
