The J10C will significantly enhance the combat capabilities of PAF

Air Vice Marshal (Retd.) Ijaz Mahmood (Defense Analyst): The induction of modern J10 C fighter jets in our defense system is a good development keeping in view the prevailing regional threats. Pakistan's locally manufactured JF17 Thunder is already an advanced, light-weight, all weather, day & night multi-role fighter aircraft, it was the need of the time to induct more modern technology in our defense system. The J10C will significantly enhance the combat capabilities of PAF. The J10C is larger and can be equipped with bigger equipment. It can also carry more advanced, fourth-generation air-to-air missiles. One of our neighboring countries i.e. India has aggressive designs against our country and is increasing its defense budget every year in order to initiate an arms race in the region. An Indian supersonic missile entered Pakistan's air space which was fully tracked. It means our air force is fully capable to respond to any aggression against our territorial integrity within no time.
