PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

[SQ8]

Guys ... can you please post in English!?

nothing useful to add. We have about 40 days to see if a known braggart comes true.

Flying over mountains would be a good testament to the confidence the Chinese have in their premier aircraft.
I vote for flying over , with full armaments.

Done very frequently since the 60s.

In my opinion, extra payloads could significantly reduce flying range of the plane.
Their safety could be watched by local air divisions from both sides.

AND YOU EXPECT SONEBODY FROM PAF AS A PDF MEMBER WILL PROVIDE LL THE FLIGHT PLAN. SORRY HOW OLD ARE YOU.

Last year, PLAAF J-10s and other aircrafts followed that route over the mountains for a exercise with PAF, so the testament to the confidence is there. However, why would they be loaded with armaments ? PAF J-10C's loaded with armament flying over Chinese space ? why ? they will follow the in transit protocol, thus no armament. Now if escort is needed, I am sure PAF will dispatch couple of F-16s along LoC and it should keep IAF at bay or very very far away.

I guess J-10C on Surprise day and Block 3 on Pakistan Day

 

[kursed]

Rumour this J-10C for PAF maybe from existing stock of PLAAF given the urgency of the order.

That won't be surprising, since PA has received SH-15 / PCL181 from existing PLA stocks, and about a couple of other systems were received from direct PLA stock.

This also points to the fact that Pakistan will receive the original and not export version of PL15.

 

[siegecrossbow]

Personally I am doubtful about both.
Apart from Sheikh Rasheed remarks, no other source has said it so far.

Unless Pakistan is suddenly upset with the Martin Baker ejection seats for some reason and are swapping them out for Chinese seats on JF-17 block III, I don't see why else they are training Pakistanis technicians how to operate Chinese ejection seats at CAC.

before 27th in fact before the visit of PM to Russia on 23rd of this month ....

(NOTE: this is only my guess)

they must have touched down here.... if they are planned to be revealed on 27th Feb.

Each Shaheen ex has involved 'flying over the mountains'. There is nothing new in it.

I think you quote the wrong guy.

 

[TigerOfMysore]

What I can say is that, we can call it an active SQN strength of Block-III.

Growlers!!

PLA stock does not mean used item, these are brand new "war reserves"

I doubt that they are giving second hand birds to PAF. For one I don’t think PAF would accept them.

In fact in sep 2021 military commentator 杨基 had told us CAC were producting a batch of new J-10C with customized equipment(new hud and Link17 datalink etc) for PAF,so it can't be giving second-hand bird to PAF.

When you say 'Urgency', what do you mean? Urgency for "what" ?
