J-10CE engine

[signals]

Planning on building a PAF J-10C and was looking for aftermarket engine options.

the 2 that I was able to find are:

 

WS-10

I'm wondering given the J-10CE used by the PAF which is the correct option...WS-10 or AL-31?

I don't think the WS-10 is a production engine yet 🤔...

I'm wrong, apparently the 4th batch does have the WS-10 (Wikipedia)

Looking at the picture of the J-10 does it look like the WS-10?

 

Ah from Google: 

 

The Pakistan Air Force's (PAF) J-10CE multi-role fighter jets are powered by China's domestically developed Shenyang-Liming WS-10B Taihang turbofan engine, which is rated at 89.17kN dry thrust and 132kN with afterburner.

@KursadA after skirmishes between India and Pakistan, we need J-10C decals and reissue of JF-17 decals.

I am just appalled by the fact that they chose not to acknowledge the loss of the Rafale - everything I know about aircraft markings and scrutinizing aircraft photos tells me that the photo of that Rafale tail lying on the ground is 100% real. Yet they do not tell their people that they lost an important national defense asset. 

 

I will wait until the kill mark appears on the J-10. I have no doubt I will soon receive the photos 😉

You should listen in on a Red Flag sortie debrief, any time the IAF participate. They're infamous for blue on blue kills and often excuse themselves from the mass debriefs to save face.

Well Trumpeter is releasing the 1/72 J-10CE with Pakistani marking and camouflage. While I doubt we'll see the application of kill markings (I understand 3 Rafales, 1 Su-30MKK and 1 Mig-29) it's going to have the JS-10 engine parts and a good load of PL-15Es.
