ANTIBODY ::there is a rumour--

paf was trying to buy used f16s [40] by the time j10b is matured [2013] -- but now paf has dropped the idea of used f16s and instead purchasing 2 types of j10

1] 40 j10a with j10b avionics [2011]
2] 100 j10b [2013]
What was i said to you....about that issue. if you remember.
Hardly to USA will sail any of there Aircraft to Pakistan again. and "vice versa", Hardly for Pakistan, with China as a military-technical ally, Pakistan is no longer necessary to buy the USA weapons.

pakistan is trying to buy used f16s for spare parts -- just like it bought mirage 3/5 airframes from 3 countries

pakistan needs aesa radar , air refeulling capability , transfer of tech , ra'ad aclm integration , continous upgrades etc--- all of this is not avialable in f16 package presented to pakistan -- we need something superoir to blk52+ as jf17 blk2 will be at par with it , in the avionics departement within a year and it costs 1/4 the cost of f16

ZDK-03 - Updated

ZDK-03 is an export AWACS system being developed for the Pakistani Air Force. This project was initiated in the early 2000. A Y-8 AWACS testbed (serial # T0518/Project 021) based on Y-8 Category II Platform was first discovered at CFTE in early 2006. Unlike KJ-200, this variant carries a tranditional rotodome above its fuselage, with a mechanically rotating antenna inside. Therefore the Y-8 AWACS was speculated to be developed for the export market only as it appears less advanced than KJ-200 which features a fixed AESA radar. However this design does provide a true 360° coverage and carry a cheaper price tag. The AEW radar may be the product of the 38th Institute/CETC, but no details are available. The aircraft also features a solid nose with MAWS sensors on both sides, as well as two small vertial tail stablizers. The Y-8 AWACS protoype was promoted to Pakistani AF in 2006. After some negotiations a much improved design was developed based on PAF's specifications. The variant is now dubbed ZDK-03 (ZDK means CETC) and is based on the new Y-8 Category III Platform featuring WJ-6C turboprops with 6-blade propellers. It was reported in early 2009 that a total of 4 were ordered by PAF in a $278m deal. The first ZDK-03 rolled out in November 2010 at SAC, with the delivery to be scheduled by the end of 2010. A recent picture (July 2011) suggested that the second ZDK-03 has been built. ZDK-03 is expected to serve as the airborne command & control center for the JF-17 fighter fleet currently in service with PAF. However it appears to lack the secure datalink to effectively command western fighter aircraft such as American F-16. Recent images indicated that the T0518 testbed has been further modified to carry a fixed rotodom with three AESA antennas installed inside, which could be a downgraded version of the KJ-2000 AWACS system to be installed onboard the Y-7 carrierborne AWACS.

Seem that development of J-10B proceeds fine. Notice that the shown airplane has a new engine - it's not AL-31 anymore, it's domestic WS-10A.

the info about zdk 03 i posted is from huitong's site , one of the top 5 credible people on chinese forums

there was a speculation why we bought 2 kinds of awacs , when we had already modified jft to link directly ith eireye awacs

reasons
eireye , though less important fact , but still does not provide full 360 degree coverage
we needed to learn saab technology before making our own
we needed higher number of awacs , less costly , without sacrificing much on technology

ZDK-03: A variant designed specifically for export to the Pakistan Air Force (PAF). Consists of a Chinese AESA radar mounted on the Y-8F600 platform.[10] The radar is reported to have a greater range than that of the PAF's Saab 2000 Erieye AEW&C radar. Delivery of the first aircraft to the Pakistan Air Force was expected by the end of 2010,[11] and the first aircraft was delivered in November

aesa radar is one of the basic requirements of pakistani j10 ---- i dont know if they will have aesa radar from the beginning , or later upgrade the fighters --- also blk3 jft will definately have aesa radar , blk2 might have aesa right from the start , or later upgraded..

Pa zato što je pakistan u geostrateškom smislu"kolac u srcu indije" koja je Najveći kinin trenutni takmac u ekonomskom rastu i vojno-tehničkom razvoju.I svaka mogućnost da se Indija uslovno rečeno destabilizuje Kini pravi uslugu, a za nas ih baš briga...
