countries like POland are joining NATO and they are getting western equipment such as F-16s, specially the ones in storage and thats why they are getting rid of old, semi-used Mig-29s.

Russians are doing the samething what most hardware companies do in US, buy your opponents/competitor’s equipment and sell you the new ones. They can turn around sell the old bought back Mig-29s, overhaul them and sell them to countrries like Bangladesh or india who already has them.

Wing fence was installed due to partial FBW aircraft has, only has one sided FBW, will confirm that later on. The fence was installed for precautionary steps and will be removed or might have been removed already.

This post from Pakdef verifies my post about the adaptation of flight simulator for the prototype testing. If you read the second part of the thread, the radar they are planning to use is RC-400 which I had mentioned earlier as well.

With RC-400 radar and related avionics this aircraft is quite a punch. According to some Chinese sources some rework was done along the lines of intake and the flap at the intake but that was for better flow of air. Nothing about the increased wing span.

Sources in China have also confirmed that 2 seater version of J-10 will be out for testing by the end of February and a team of PAF pilots and engineers are heading to CHina in 2 to 3 months to evaluate the aircraft. Rumor has it that this will start induction by the mid of next year.

PAF is in negotiations with France and Italy for the avionics. Recently a news came out that head of the pakistan navy is heading to France for an official trip.

kuwait has F-18s and not F-15s. Most like S. Arabia will go with Rafaels or Mirages to relace their F-5s

the only thing that can save EF is a large order from some middle eastern country. The only few in mind are UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and may be Qatar.

Qatar already bougt what they needed, Qatar andKuwait will go only with US, so last option is Saudis. Saudi Arabia according to some news last year and rumors among the vendors and brokers suggest that it will be a French platform.
