J-10 Thread IV

I think China's overall Air force should be expanded significantly to atleast 3000 fighters + 400 bombers. This is necessary to attain complete dominance over western pacific with both US and its ally plane+air defence numbers accounted for.

Besides western pacific, how about factoring in the air force of the big adversary in south Asia? China needs even more planes.

Seem like recent event put the interest in J-10 again. Hobby Master already working on their 1/72 prototype of J-10C.

Hobby Master released most of their model as diecast, not 100% due to some swapping and moving part but most of the frame are.

Just an interesting info via a good friend ... There are still four J-10C and one YY-20A at Spinx International Airport in Kairo; Egypt since May, seems almost as if they never went back!

How many J-10Cs visited Egypt back in May?

Guys, there’s growing chatter about a so-called J-10D variant reportedly under development for foreign customers (multiple). Key features are said to include:

1. Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFTs)
2. A new powerplant (engine upgrade)
3. Wingtip pylons.

What’s particularly interesting is that the number of aircraft being discussed is reportedly quite large. Can anyone confirm this from reliable sources?

While this has been highlighted several times before, nothing concrete or official has emerged so far.
