Pakistan accepts a new batch of J-10
Some people say that this paint is P up and is fake. I just think it's no fun to paint an unknown combat wing of a small country. Things that are not fun, no one will do.
Talking about the Pakistan Mirage 5 that the J-10 is about to replace, since the beginning of China's aid to the Qiang 5, it has been acting as a short-range ground attack mission handle for the Pakistan Air Force and the Mirage-5 fighter to form a long-range and short-range connection, which constitutes the main air-to-ground strike force of the Pakistan Air Force. Qiang Five has finished retiring, and Phantom 5 is old and basically has no spare parts.
【Reciprocal reading】
The dragon's body is too small and its potential is limited. If you continue to dig from the body of the dragon, it is almost equivalent to making tofu into meat, which is not a cost-effective investment. The use of F16 is limited by the Americans and cannot undertake cross-border attack tasks. Air defense missions can only be carried out in Pakistan. The hampered Pakistani military quickly positioned the J-10 with a large-thrust engine and medium-sized fuselage plate from China to replace the Mirage 5 attack fleet. Because of China's completely independent intellectual property rights, almost all of Pakistan's improvement plans can be responded to and implemented. This is what the small-bodied Dragon and the American F16 can't give. Moreover, in today's popularity of high-precision guided weapons, there is no need for J-10 to do these high-risk tactical moves of low-altitude penetration. The number of bombs on the ladder, the long range, and the rich means of observation and aiming can meet the demand. And the J-10 itself is an air fighter, and the multi-purpose scalability also makes it have excellent cost performance.
【Small information interested in continuing】
The need for modifications to the Ground Attack of the Mirage-5 fighter was initially proposed by the Israeli Air Force. On the basis of the standard Mirage-3E fighter, all costs and space were reduced to increase fuel and some sighting equipment for use as an inexpensive long-range attack aircraft. After the South Asian nuclear weapons competition, when the United States qatar Pakistan F16, Pakistan quickly replaced nearly 40 old Mirage-5 fighters and two-seat trainer aircraft from the French Air Force, and later upgraded 33 of them to the ROSE-II project, mainly to extend the life of the fuselage, adding forward-looking infrared devices and laser guidance devices, so that the aircraft can carry and drop laser-guided bombs, coupled with the original ability to launch "Flying Fish" anti-ship missiles. Make the Mirage-5 a trump card in the hands of the Pakistan Air Force that specializes in long-range attacks.
The performance of the Mirage 5 has been recognized by Pakistan, mainly cost-effective, whether it is Egypt or Australia, almost all the old Mirage 5 in the world has flowed into Pakistan, but these old guys can not have the attendance of new machines no matter how to maintain and renovate. Therefore, Pakistan is also always looking for a replacement for the aircraft.
