Premature celebrations extend to many areas and activities in Pakistani society - as do many quacks advertising cures for them scribbled across walls and hanging on poles.Sorry, but alone the fact that he (or you) mentions the first batch of J-10 was 16 aircraft makes me sure, he (or you) does not know what he tells … there are clearly 20 J-10 already delivered.
As such I‘m happy when you are happy, but I would rather wait to celebrate …
However, I there is some odd grey in these rumors which I had a passing chat(albeit in a social gathering and for a very limited while) with a reliable individual on - there are activities being undertaken in a smaller scale to have facilities ready for these aircraft due to additional requirements for them. Suggesting there may actually be a small number of these aircraft (perhaps from initial production numbers) for familiarization coming sooner than our expectations.
A lot is in these airframes which in some ways is J-20+ tech that the PAF is also going to have a learning curve to both learn to use and more importantly learn to employ unlike the PLAAF which has been using such technology/techniques for over a decade.
