Time sensitive question, BTW.
Appreciate all opinions.
President Xi, My name is Miguel Perez. I am 8 years old. I live in Queens. My government is killing my family, and the CDC is not giving us help even though COVID is getting worse. Please send Chengdu J-20 Multirole Stealth Fighter Aircraft.
Does anyone knows if these J-10 fighters are on par with the Indian Rafale jets?I heard Pakistan will be receiving 36 of them by the end of this year which is the same exact number india ordered for Rafale lol.Do these have Chinese or Russian engines and are they any good, when it comes to maneuverability and range?

During the 1980s, where Mainland China was having a tight budget on military technologies; a bunch of aviation engineers in the 1990s gave the obsolete J-7 (Copy/Reverse engineer of MiG-21F-13 Fishbed) a new life. Not only helped the PLAAF for supplying sufficient equipment before 3rd Generation Fighters (Namely J-10A and Su-27SK/J-11A) came into service, but also helped PRC on earning foreign exchange during the economic reform periods-this is the topic of our essay, the Chengdu J-7E/G series fighters.
Back in the late 1980s, J-8II by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (AKA 601 Institute,ๆฒ้ฃ in Chinese, now AVIC SAC) and J-7III by Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (AKA 611 Institute,ๆ้ฃ in Chinese, now AVIC CAC) had both their projected aircraft on schedules to test flights, while CACโs J-10 was in development at that time (first flight on 1994). A problem of J-7III (C/D, reverse engineer of MiG-21MF and UB from Egypt) was that the horizontal maneuverability was inferior and unsuitable for replacing the mass of Shenyang J-6 which was still in service at that time as a fighter.
CAC, the manufacturer of J-7IIH and export fighters F-7M/P consider the next generation J-7 should be focused on maneuverability, especially on mid-lower altitude (around 3km,11k ft) due to the reports from foreign users (especially PAF) and conflicts (Iraq-Iran War) during that time, so as to fulfill the needs of aerial combat in the 1990s.
The development of F-7 by CAC made them considered for advanced electronic systems to fit more weaponries. This version, named J-7IV was passed by the PLAAF and the development started on 1987. All but the wing design was from the well-developed J-7II technologies; its prototype was developed in 1989 and met its first flight in May 1991, which was then coded as J-7E
Due to the aerodynamic changes of the aircraft and new engine (WP-7F), as well as avionics (reversed-engineered GEC Marconi avionics), J-7E passed state certification at May 1993 and delivered to PLAAF on August where it started its mass production at December. From 1994 to 2001, there was around 260 J-7E which have been delivered to PLAAF, way more than SACโs J-8IIB series; which showed the popularity of J-7E to PLAAF.
The core feature of J-7E was its improvements on Mid-lower altitude maneuverability with her newly-d
