Pakistan in talks for J-10 & have ordered KJ 2000?

[Oldman1]

Thought they weren't interested in buying it.

 

[K.P.K]

F16 c d block 52 are much superior and tested machines than J10b, a bad decision if it happens.

J 10c with Aesa is an awesome machine, superior then f 16 block 52.

it will be wise decision................since sanctioned block 52 Falcons are very difficult to get

Post photo of J10, so i can approve/disprove the deal.

Really?

Few years, many rumors to sign with J-10B, then cancelled, then signed confirm and then another false rumors again and secret rumors for J-10C new project.

BULLSHIT!

A jet is much more than judt aesa. Paf elite jets have always been world class product.
J10s are not in the category of euro fighter, rafale or F16 block 60. We should not compromise on quality due to budget constraints.

Because Others are not Chinese?, Chinese technology has advanced trust me in some cases it surpasses the west.

There is a correction to my last post on the subject of having 3 types. Pakistan also operates J-6 and K-8 in training and are also capable to attack lightly guarded targets.

Today when the threat has increased from the vegi lovers and Tango's PAF requires a bigger quantity. In the past PAF was able to buy as many mirages from France but now this is not possible for the F-16's as America is a different ball player.
PAF would have to find an alternate, it is agreed that JF-17's and J-10's(if inducted) would give a platform that can be updated and sanction free but the demand and supply gap will not be filled as required.

PAF does not have an air superiority fighter so F-16's would have to perform this role. This leaves a question how is the PA going to be suported

The only realistic option is to add an other platform...Which one and from where is a ??

Now if we consider the requirement of PN they also require attack aircraft. We all know that JF-17's have been ordered but when will they enter service ? Are they going to cover the entire area that has increased ?

PA requires air support for this the Heli's are going to fill the gap but what about there air cover?

Does not matter if 4th also comes...

Not only that. The J-10b equipped with an AESA radar is a very formidable platform. The Chinese have pitted the J-10 against their flankers and speak very highly of these fighters. One can only imagine the performance of a much improved J-10b platform. To date no performance figures have been disclosed. People that say that this fighter is better or lesser don't know jack sh!t.

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Pakistan got a couple of J-10b squadrons now or in the future.

Non sanctionable, AESA radar , greater range, more payload, better high altitude flight characteristics than jf-17 , integration of weapons of choice --- pray tell me how is it a bad choice as the numbers of j31 inducted [if] would be low and after a decade

J10b will be a worthy opponent of IAF Rafales...................that's why 36 is the most probable number.

F-16 is waste . It will never be used against without the wish of USA. Jf 17 Is also waste. j10 is a excellence choice.

 

[Manticore]

Block 52 Viper (8,300 kg empty, PW-229, 79 kN dry, 129.7 kN wet).
J-10A (9,700 kg empty, Al-31FN 79.5 kN dry . 125.0 kN wet)
-
might not be accurate data

Considering things are happenings at such a fast pace why i am compelled to think as if Chinese are stationing their air-force wing in the form of J-10 in Pakistan flown by Pakistani pilots and their submarine fleet 8 of them in the Arabian ocean operated by the Pakistani sailors ?. Chinese certainly have some long term plan in their mind.

Anyway Congratulations PAF

Exactly. The J-10b is what PAF needs along with JF-17s and a 5th gen platform. The J-10b isn't a luxury, but a necessity to counter new Indian acquisitions. The F-16s are excellent fighters, but highly prone to sanctions. The F-16s serve their role as force multipliers.
