Pakistan J-10C has been replaced with two-color jungle camouflage. This news was exposed more than a month ago. The editor did not believe it for a while, but now its high-definition photos have come out. I was used to seeing the J-10C in air superiority paint, but suddenly switched to jungle camouflage. It was hard to get used to it. Although the photos were taken well, it felt like the aircraft had been downgraded, like an old "Phantom" III.

Very good shot
Many people have such concerns. If the J-10C changes its camouflage coating, is it because the Pakistan Air Force is dissatisfied with it, so it was thrown to "lick the ground"? In fact, this just shows that the performance of the J-10C is very advanced, and the Pakistan Air Force is very satisfied with it, because unlike the professional classification of fighter aircraft in the air forces of major countries, medium-sized countries like Pakistan do not have many fighter aircraft. Each aircraft is required to be multi-purpose, capable of both air combat and strike missions. It has transformed from fighter into fighter bomber , even the F-16 imported from the United States.

The J-10C is not big in body, but its mounting capability is not weak. In addition to two medium and two near, four medium and two near, the air-optimized mounting can even mount three huge auxiliary fuel tanks . When it performs anti-radiation missions, it can simultaneously mount three auxiliary fuel tanks, two 600-kg Eagle 91s and two Thunderbolt 10s, with up to 11 external hardpoints.

Do you think this is fully loaded?

can be hung?

We also have composite pylons
What’s even better is that the J-10C has excellent unbalanced mounting capabilities, that is, one wing is heavily loaded and the other wing is lightly loaded. The Internet has exposed footage of the J-10C mounting a YJ-91 on one side more than once, and it is also performing violent maneuvers. You must know that the weight of a YJ-91 is 600 kilograms. Mounting it on the J-10C has a greater impact on the center of gravity of the aircraft than mounting on the J-16. Anyone who understands knows that this means that the flight control of the J-10C has very excellent self-balancing capabilities, and this correction and self-balancing ability has practical value, whether it is the flexibility of bomb delivery or the return of the aircraft with damage.

In addition, many pilots are describing the J-10C and When and 20 fought, it was said that they were "easy" to fly. This means that pilots can put as little energy as possible on flying and use most of their experience in combat. This is very important for the aircraft's "ground licking" mission. In complex mid- and low-altitude battlefields, if pilots still have to worry about driving the aircraft, they may not be able to catch the fleeting fighter.

Thirdly, the J-10C's radar and strong sensing capabilities have inherent advantages when performing the "ground licking" task. Many fighter aircraft's radars have poor anti-interference capabilities when dealing with ground targets, and the J-10C's radar is relatively strong in this regard. To put it simply, it has more T/R units than the F-35, reaching 1,450. In addition, the data link system of the KDZ-03 early warning aircraft can even be interconnected with our army's battlefield data link, making it possible to understand ground targets clearly and confidently.

The fact that the J-10C is put on camouflage paint and performs the "ground licking" mission does not mean that its air combat performance is no longer advanced. The advanced photoelectric detection system and active phased array radar htm The combination of L2 plus Thunderbolt 15E and Thunderbolt 10 has inherited the information perception capabilities of the J-20, making it fully capable of competing against the " Rafale " introduced by India from France. Even if it encounters the stealth aircraft , it will still have the power to fight.

On the 15th of this month, all 36 "Rafale" fighter jets introduced by India from France arrived, while the second batch of delivery of the J-10C imported by Pakistan from my country has already begun. The two sides can be described as "tip to tip". Guess, everyone, will the first battle of the J-10C be an air battle with the "Rafale" or a "ground licking"?
