So - if you go to Zuhai airshow, you can look inside a PAF specific J10CE Cockpit, but you dont see anything from the PAF when it comes to Pakistan? - lol !!!

 

[Yommie]

Has China ever sold or given away its retired 2nd-hand aircrafts to another country?

They did with Q-5 and J-7 if memory serves.

 

[Deino]

Iranians?

Yes

 

[Awwad]

I suppose a lot of second hand J-10C can be passed to Pakistan. There's like hundreds of J-10C in the Chinese air force.

China's plane manufacturing industry is enormous. All the J-10A are gonna be gone within a few years. J-10C are getting passed down to Pakistan air force by 2030.

China has very large production capabilities but it also have very massive military and its requirements. There are loads of older planes still flying in PLAAF (J-7, J-8, JH-7, earlier J-10s (J10As)).

PAF won't be interested in anything older than J-10C anyways. PAF is gradually replacing the F-7PGs / Mirages with newer planes (JF-17Cs & J-10Cs). At the same time, PLAAF will keep its own J-10Cs with its own service for a long time.

Plus Chinese J-10Cs are different than the export version.

 

[NGAD IS THE BEST]

There aren't many J-10A left. J-35 is coming into service real quick. Pakistan can potentially get 50 to 100 J-10C by 2030 to completely phase out F-16 A/B/C/D.

J10A was rejected by PAF in early 2000

North Korea are the best place for older goodies of china.

 

[Mehdipersian]

How many kilometers is the range of j-10c radar?

Here's an old photo for comparison

This might be the most advanced a/c he might ever experience; it must feel almost like science fiction to him.

YINGS-III ON PAF J10CE FIGHTER.

The Yings-III TGP (targeting pod) offers improved laser designation and infrared imaging, optimized for high-altitude targeting. While images or full technical specs of the Yings-III remain sparse due to its classified nature, the pod is believed to be comparable in capabilities to advanced Western TGPs, like the American AN/AAQ-33 Sniper and Israeli Litening pods, which are designed to enhance target acquisition accuracy in various lighting conditions.

How many kilometers is the range of j-10c radar?

Consider this, that China is over 9 million sq km in area and operates over 500 J-10 aircrafts at the moment.

So it has very good range covering that landmass especially when it's also capable of refueling in mid-air.

 

[Hussain]

@Oscar @Quwa and everyone else, can it do buddy to buddy refueling?

You have to factor in the support and maintenance infrastructure, weapons on top of that. Once that Infrastructure is bought, then you can buy at a lower re-order cost which is planes + weapons.

That is where PAF is now, where it is simply ordering more units of the plane as the ecosystem to support and maintain the J10CE in Pakistan is now setup and fully functional.

Iran should barter, oil for Planes. Its win win.

The question was regarding the radar‘s range!
