J-10 fighter export orders confirmed

The export order of J-10 fighter jets is confirmed

According to the news announced by the Pakistani military on social networking sites, the J-10 fighter jets have been exported to Pakistan this time! In other words, the latest J-10C fighter is about to fly to Pakistan, achieving a historic breakthrough in the export of modern fighter aircraft! What is particularly critical is that, judging from the conflict between India and Pakistan, the actual combat of J-10C fighters will become the new normal, which will open a new chapter for domestically produced fighters. ?

According to the information disclosed at the air show, the J-10C fighter has a length of 16.9 meters, a width of 9.6 meters, a height of 5.7 meters, and a maximum flight speed of 1,350 kilometers per hour. The flight Mach number is Mach 1.8 and the combat radius is 1240 kilometers, if supported by aerial tankers.

The combat radius has been directly doubled, and the maximum transition range is close to 3,000 kilometers. From the overall parameters, the J-10C fighter is a proper medium-sized fighter, and its performance is remarkable among the ranks of international fighters.

In fact, there has been news for a long time that Pakistan Railway will import J-10C fighters.

However, there has been loud thunder and no rain. This time the news released by the Pakistan Railways military can be said to have settled. The J-10 fighter jets have begun the export process. In fact, the J-10C fighter jets are inferior to those of the Pakistan Railways. F16 fighter jets can be said to be neck and neck between the two sides, especially in terms of maneuverability, the J-10C fighter jet is not inferior to the F16 fighter jet.

The latest J-10C fighter has been equipped with our WS-10B engine, with a thrust of about 13 tons and stronger performance. Although not all of our J-10 series fighters have been equipped with this new engine. However, can the fighter jets exported to Pakistan be any worse? That's not possible. Therefore, the WS-10B engine will be the standard configuration of this batch of export version of the J-10C fighter jets.

So, the performance is definitely top-notch among the J-10 fighters.

The export of this batch of J-10C fighters is of great significance. Many netizens have previously analyzed that the biggest reason why the J-10 fighter jet has not been truly exported is that it has never participated in actual combat and has always been based on its performance in exercises. You know, there is a dispute between India and Pakistan.

It has always been an actual combat confrontation, and there is no such thing as an exercise. So, after the J-10C fighter arrives at Pakistan Railway, it will be tested in actual combat immediately, because the J-10 fighter is much stronger than the Xiaolong fighter, and the J-16 Due to American regulations, fighter planes cannot be dispatched at will. If they have meat but not tofu, they can directly use J-10 fighters to participate in the confrontation, so that Pakistan has no worries. Those who say that Chinese fighter planes have not participated in actual combat should shut up. ?

Once the J-10C fighter enters the Pakistan Railways, the first thing it will encounter is the two powerful enemies: the Su-30MKI fighter and the Rafale fighter. Let’s talk about the Su-30MKI fighter first. This is a heavy-duty fighter that also has It has the function of a bomber, but this fighter is actually an immature fighter. It was a work of Russia that replaced its predecessors.

First promised the Indians, defrauded the money, and then carried out research and development, so it was not a real Su-30 fighter. It was very experimental in nature. Even the Su-30MKI fighter that was delivered later was equipped with a radar. It is also "short-sighted". It can see far but cannot see clearly. As a result, the airborne missile cannot lock on the opponent, so it cannot be said to shoot it down. It can only shoot randomly. The AESA radar equipped on the J-10C fighter can not only see far , and one hit is accurate, and the Su-30MKI fighter will not take advantage in terms of close combat maneuverability. ?

Let’s talk about the latest Rafale fighter imported by the Indians. This is said to be a second-class stealth fighter smeared with stealth materials. Indeed, the French Rafale fighter is remarkable, with its dual-engine design, range and attack. The radii are all very good.

It is a "one-size-fits-all" fighter jet, but the export version of the Rafale fighter jet imported by the Indians needs to be equipped with a pod for its ground attack capability. However, in places where the two countries are adjacent, the range and The dual-engine is actually of little significance. The J-10C can not only fight against the Rafale in the air, but more importantly, its ground strike capabilities are also good. So from this perspective, the J-10C fighter is actually in this specific situation. More dominant.

?

Another point that has to be explained is that the J-10C fighter jet is very likely to follow the old path of Xiaolong, that is, joint production between the two countries.

But it is impossible for the Rafale fighter jets to follow this path. After one was shot down, the Indians asked the French to make another one and cooperate in production? impossible.

Besides, if the unit price of the J-10C fighter is US$40-50 million, compared with US$250 million for the Rafale fighter, even if it is a tie, it will still be a profit.

Therefore, for Pakistan Railway, importing J-10C fighters is undoubtedly the best choice. There is no other choice. J-10C fighters will show their majesty on the battlefield and further establish the name of domestic fighters. I hope The number of exports in the next step will increase exponentially.
