It is great for pakistan because it will be cost effective , easy to maintain and upgrade and get the knowledge of modern technology. As with J10, well it will be some version of J10B specifically build for PAF, as it happen with F7 , J10 will be according to paksitan requirements. don't know exact specifications but it is assumed that this J10 version dubbed FC20 by Paf will have chinese WS10(A or B type) engine with TVC, more hardpoints, an advance AESA radar, Conformal fuel tanks, DSI intakes, and much more. the work stated on this PAF recommended version in 2006 and may be Paf will get it around 2014. It is good because there is no chance of sanctions and it is reliable , much less expensive in terms of maintainance because chinese will provide the facility of overhaoul in pakistan, and it is well in the range of 4.5 generation fighters. so good luck Paf. it is great that pakistan should develop its own arms industry. pakistan already have manufacturing facilities of small and medium arms. pakistan also developed tanks and apc and now going for fighter aircrafts and UAV and even AWACS with chinese help.
