Replacing the F-16: Will Pakistan’s Top Fighter Squadron Transition to Chinese J-10Cs?

I just said East & West. No names.
Sir please give more clear hint of the jet from west. Eastern one is pretty much clear. And are you still standing by the claim of west. I mean is it still on the cards or not anymore.

Now that Kabul has fallen to it’s rightful rulers Taliban will usa sell us any new weapons like f-16? Especially since they blame us for supporting Taliban and giving them safe heavens? Isn’t it more likely they sanction us?
No Sanctions InshaAllah. We still have a good working relationship.

AIM-120D can be used to engage airborne targets around 150 KM mark in BVR engagements - this is very close to maximum of PL-15. AIM-120D is also one of the most reliable A2A missiles ever built. How many PL-15 kills out there?
AIM120D : such a 150km range is (maybe) potent against non agile target, like tanker. To reach such range the missile is in a near ballistic trajectory and has nearly no energy at the end, so can only reach a straight forward target.
Reliable? Previous AMRAAM don't have a very high scoring ratio. And as far as I know, no kill has been made by a D variant.
PL15 : as all the chinese products, they are not war proven. So a potential very bad surprise or a very good one in case of a future real use...
BVR kills might not be easy to achieve in many situations depending upon what type of adversary you are up against.

  • First of all, J-10C if aquired will not replace F-16. It will be for stop gap purpose until J-35, AZM or other 5th gneration fighter option is available.

What guarantee is there that J-35 or Azm will be acquired before India acquires a 5th Gen fighter?

Indians seem quite happy with their 4th Gen Sukhois and Rafales for at least the next 2-3 decades.

There is no guarantee. We are living in a dynamic world and things are constantly changing. I am sure Uncle Sam will be willing to sell F-35 to India with few conditions.
