J-10 Thread IV

[Atomicfrog]

4:30 dude chuckled at name of Rafale when reporter asked "We hear Pakistan purchased J-10C to counter Rafale of India..." I wonder if there is stuff we dont know that he finds funny.

Also the video mentioned J-10C replaces Mirage 5, who had role of nuclear strike. It is likely J-10C could be in same role.

It will probably replace a bunch of their mirage planes. They are aged but they have still more than 120 flying !

When a platform change occurs in a squadron their role can also change (this is normal.)

Also, 7 Squadron (one of the 2 squadrons where the J-10C is headed) flies Mirage III ROSE. That's a multi-role squadron deployed in Karachi (at the coast.) It may remain multi-role or may switch to Air Superiority.

The other squadron I heard will be deployed at Kamra, that's Northern Air Command. This is where Rafales are expected, out of Ambala AFB. This squadron would most likely be Air Superiority I'd think.

J-10C/CP of Pakistan Air Force serial no. 22-105...

A bit out of the loop here, has it been confirmed whether its 25 units or 36 for pakistan?

Take your mind off Russo-Ukr war. Watch this instead!

I would love to read an abridged version of the talk here ; the Chinese perspective to the sale of J10c to PAF would surely be enlightening for me.

Nothing you don’t know already.

Finally confirmed! It was long expected, but until now never seen before: A PLAAF J-10C carrying a YJ-83K AShM.

It could mean now that they are quickly adding J-20s, J-10Cs will adapt to more multi-role missions. There is no reason they can't do it.

Agreed, but besides some rumours, we haven't seen it yet ... and you know how eager I am for images as proof!?

And PS with a KD-88 too

Im amazed, how can you tell whether it's a kd88 or a yj-83k

Also why there are so many different missiles instead of just 1 standard ashm
