One thing to consider is if Greece is planning a war on Turkiye? Look at this statement, quick shocking..

Israel is preparing Greece. Just like Israel is preparing India.

The Mecca pact is a blessing, but the members must move full steam ahead.

Can you guys please leave out this Israel Greek nonsense out of this thread? And if there Are no News, then Not posting is also an Option!

Pilot training and conversion continues in China as of September. Not likely to complete anytime soon. Mastering a 5th gen is a different ball game altogether. We thought J10C was demanding but this thing is unfamiliar territory. So far so good.

Will these Pakistani pilots learn to communicate in chinese? Or will they communicate with their instructors in English?

Our defense ties are 70 years old right? Communication isn't a barrier anymore.

Yeah, the days of us translating Chinese manuals for F-6 in the 1960s are long gone.

Also, it is no longer unfamiliar to bump into armed forces officers with working knowledge or even fluent Mandarin in Pakistan

@AeronautIR can answer this question. His brother is a J-10CE fighter pilot.

As far as I know, all PLAAF pilots and instructors are fluent in English. This is part of their basic curriculum.
However, if you want to build a good relationship with these instructors and get them to teach you more, then you must be able to communicate with them fluently in Chinese.

It would be very hard for Chinese pilots to fly across different air spaces and conduct complex exercises with foreign forces without a good working knowledge of English, in fact without that it would actually be very dangerous

English is the default language for all things international, at every level and if China wants its airforce, and other arms to interact at a global level, these services will have to learn English and not the other way around.

If it wants to become a global arms seller, China needs to embrace and adopt English within those circles.

English is the only intermediate language out there that works well as that glue. Its not French, Spanish, or Cantonese, it is English.

You two haven't fully understood what I meant.

English is an international language, that's a fact, and no one denies it. While my English is poor, that doesn't mean I don't acknowledge its international status.

For all Chinese pilots, including military and civilian pilots, fluency in English is an essential skill. Their English level is perfectly fine.

If you're a student learning from a Chinese teacher, English is the standard language of communication, which is perfectly acceptable. But if you want to learn more beyond the standard curriculum, then you need to understand Chinese and Chinese culture. Much of Chinese knowledge cannot be explained in English. And much deeper knowledge can only be understood in Chinese, and requires a very deep understanding of Chinese culture.

Of course, if you don't want to learn this part, you don't have to learn Chinese at all.
