This is a new batch of J10CE produced, the buyer doesn't know who it is, PAF or the rumored Egyptian Air Force? I think it might be PAF?

What’s that black gadget at the bottom?

IAF have not signed for any SU-30 uograde yet, and when they do HAL has given timeline of 10 years. I am more worried about climate change timeline then HAL integrating several domestic and foreign components into a Russian plane for the very first time.

It is not nice to make fun of HAL when it’s not their fault. In fact you must appreciate their ingenuity…when GE was lagging in providing them engines for Tejas…they successfully solved that issue by mounting it on a truck.

I think that's the question! Is it the first of the second batch for the PAF and will it unveiled at the sow or is it maybe even the revealing of the second customer (since yet all markings are covered) and that secret customer has the same colour scheme?

My money is firmly on this being part of second batch for PAF. The colour scheme / markings/ English in the box’s is precise match to PAF grey scheme birds.

Is there any minor changes visible or no its same that was delivered to PAF.

Makes sense with the English writing and PLAAF no longer taking delivery of J-10Cs right?
