Pakistan officially inducts Chinese-built J-10C fighter jets

파키스탄의 펀잡 지방 미나스 캄라 공군기지에서 J-10C 전투기의 취역 행사가 열렸네요. PL-10 단거리 대공미사일, PL-15 BVR 대공미사일을 탑재 가능하며, JF-17 블록3에 탑재된 것보다 더 큰 AESA 레이더가 실렸다고 합니다. 정확한 공급 예정 수량은 현재까지 불명입니다. 

Pakistan officially inducts Chinese-built J-10C fighter jets

The J-10C is a medium-weight, all-weather fighter jet developed by China.

Pakistan has added Chinese-built J-10C fighter jets to Pakistan Air Force (PAF) fleet to bolster the country’s combat capabilities.

The new batch of fighter jets was officially inducted in a ceremony at PAF Base Minhas Kamra in Punjab.

The ceremony was attended by Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan.

At the event, Khan was quoted by Reuters as saying: “It is a big addition to our defence system.

“I am thankful to China on behalf of our nation for providing these jets in a record time of eight months.”

The J-10C is a medium-weight, all-weather jet that can be equipped with fourth-generation air-to-air missiles such as the short-range PL-10 and the beyond-visual-range PL-15.

The jet can also feature a bigger active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar compared to the one installed in the JF-17 Block 3 jets, PTI reported.

The exact number of J-10C jets provided by China is immediately not clear.

However, the addition of the new jets will complement PAF’s existing fleet that includes JF-17 Thunder jets from China, French Mirages and F-16s among others.

In a statement, Pakistan’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said: “Induction of J-10C aircraft has further strengthened PAF as a formidable and potent force well capable of defending the aerial frontiers of our beloved country.

“With J-10C ‘Dragon’ Omni role fighter in its ranks, PAF retains the first shot BVR capability while maintaining a qualitative edge in the application of Air Power across all domains.”

In a separate development, India said that it accidentally fired a missile during routine maintenance. The missile landed in neighbouring Pakistan but did not cause any loss of life.

Pakistan’s foreign office, however, summoned India’s charge d’affaires to lodge a strong protest.

성능이 향상됐다는 말일까요 ?

면적∝소자 숫자라고 봐도 되니 성능이 향상됐다고 봐야죠.

그렇군요.
답글 고맙습니다.

인도와 분쟁 시, F-16을 투입하는지, 이 녀석을 투입하는지를 보면 대강 성능을 가늠해볼 수 있지 않을까 합니다. 인도 측은 물론 라팔을 밀어넣을듯.
