The folks I know were involved in this in 1998-1999 . Some other folks I know were involved with the super 7 program. I know a bit about karma when there was the muni see AMF for mushak, there was the f-6 rebuild factory and the mirage rebuild factory and cha cha America use to provide all the spares……

Oh come on! There si NO need to post any random fancy J-10 video that even more is irrelevant to the Pakistani variant since you don't get this TVC-variant!

It´s a beauty. - the only thing I feel looks awkward is the air inlet.

"If structure does not tell us anything about function, it means that we have not looked at it correctly" - hence I can´t understand people comparing this plane with JF17.... (ie. it does not bring anything new to the table....)

Really? Then please check the camouflage, antenna configuration and even more the source where this image is from!

Please educate me. The nose of the front plane is a bit blurred because the fighter in the background is the main focus of the picture with a front view.
1) how can you se the camouflage from this angle
2) the same goes for the antenna configuration
3) I se the source of the image on top right you pointed out.

I se the MAWS on top of the tail fin, the big HUD and the IRST (if I´m not mistaken the MAWS on tail fin and the big HUD is J-10C)

1. Agreed, camouflage is a bit difficult, but those for Pakistan have a darker grey band in the center.

2. here I need to apologise, since it is indeed not visible

3. Indeed ... sourced by ChinaMil.com, and it was posted in April 2021:

"Fighter jets attached to an aviation brigade of the air force under the PLA Southern Theater Command get ready to take off from the runway for a flight training exercise in late April, 2021. (eng.chinamil.com.cn/Photo by Wang Guoyun)"

As such, it cannot be a PAF bird since in early 2021 no Batch 07 J-10C was built or unless once again some overenthusiastic fan boy again thinks it MUST be one since the PLAAF emblem and serial is not visible.

I would like to bring up something @The Eagle said, about pilot and equipment training

When we received the f-16s contract was signed in 1981

First f-16 landed in 1983 January

History of the Pakistan Air Force

The history of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) began when it was established in 1947 following the independence of Pakistan. In 1933, the British colonial government established the first Air Force station in the Indian subcontinent near Drigh Road, now called PAF Base Faisal in Karachi. In 1934...

So by that logic the j-10cp agreement must have been signed in 2018-19 and pilots and maintenance crews must have been training in china for the last 1-2 years.

The question I have for my friends with way more knowledge than I, were PAF pilots flying and training on j-10cps in Shaheen 2020 and 2021. 60 aircraft were sent to China for training which is about 15-18% of the PAF. And the birds that came to Pakistan were they maintained and flown by PAF , were there one or two of Pakistani j-10cp in the training for the last few years
