What weapons would both get?

that’s the question.
It’s not even sure what exactly the J-10 is gonna be.
I have only ever seen a single reference to an non-A version and that was basically the initial production run that was converted into A versions shortly after.

That reminds me, wasn’t there a similar situation with the Su-27 or J-11 leaks?

This is the source for that by the way:

J-10 (Block 1 to 3) (Firebird A) – the first mass-produced modification of the J-10 type aircraft ( Firebird A ). This model is reserved for the PLAAF. The first prototype of the J-10 ( Firebird A ) aircraft took off from the runway for the first time on March 23, 1998. This model became part of the production program of the Chengdu plant in 2003. All specimens of the J-10 ( Firebird A ) aircraft were later refined to the J-10A ( Firebird A ) standard.

J-10A (Block 4 to 8) (Firebird A) – a slightly improved modification of the J-10 ( Firebird A ) type aircraft with the installation of new blade antennas having greater height and less depth on the back of the fuselage, directly between the cockpit canopy and the SOP, and on the belly of the fuselage, directly forward of the nose landing gear shaft, the oval WL-9 type radio compass housing on the fuselage spine, directly behind the cockpit canopy, the improved defense system and the new multi-function displays (MFD) inside the cockpit. Similar MFDs are also found in the cockpit of later prototypes of the export fighter type FC-1 (JF-17). The last serial J-10A ( Firebird A ) left the gates of the Chengdu factory in 2014. Then the production program of this enterprise switched to the J-10B ( Firebird B ) model.

J10 will likely get PL-11(Aspide) and PL-8. If gaijin is kind then it could have PL-8B.
J-10A will likely get PL-12 and PL-8/PL-8B

Don’t forget India with it’s Shilka

@Smin1080p_WT Speaking of, since Britain lacks SPAA in most areas could we see an Indian variant in the future for Britain ?

Should Sweden get a Danish F-16AM? Maybe as a event vehicle?

tbh, with Gripen-A I’m not sure they need it at the moment. If it means that Denmark in general gets added to the Swedish tree sure, but on it’s own it seems pretty redundant at least for now.

Nah they should get the Norwegian one

It’s the same thing but cooler cuz it’s Norwegian
