24 J-10??? OMG!!! quick! we need to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike!!! [:D]

I was asstounded when I read this sentence:
"The J-10 is often referred to as a 4.5-generation aircraft comparable to the F-16 Block 60 (flown by the United Arab Emirates), French Rafale, and Eurofighter Typhoon"

[X(]

A J-10 can be a 4.5 generation, Also a F-16C block 60 but a Rafale? a EF-2000? seriously? We are crazy.

About a year ago in a reddit discussion, a USN F/A-18 guy said the J-10 was probably the most dangerous non-NATO fighter out there. Not sure if that puts it at Eurocanard level, but it does say something about it's capabilities.

For a different challenge in the versions of Brass Drum I edited for my personal pleasure I usually replace the J-10s with Su-35s since they can be on CAP for a lot longer and can sling more ARH AAMs.

Can someone explain why Primarckx was prescient? What's the original comment or whatever?

[Tomcat84]

He made the scenario Operation Brass Drum in 2013 and in it Iran has acquired J-10s which it now seems might actually happen.

Ah! Well, that clears it up! Thanks!
