Images making the rounds on social media imply that the second batch of Chengdu J-10C semi-stealth 4.5-gen advanced multi-role fighter planes operated by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) will be painted in tactical camouflage patterns resembling those used by the Mirage 5PA.
The most recent J-10Cs, according to specifics, have sky-blue undersides and a green-gray camouflage pattern. Similar in color, Mirage 5PAs have been employed in low-level maritime strike operations. This means that low-level maritime strike roles will also be utilised with the new J-10C aircraft.
