Chinese officials have reported the presence of the new Fighter-10 with China’s Air Force, saying the new F-10 has “noticeably enhanced” battle effectiveness, reports the People’s Daily Online. We reported earlier this year, that the Pentagon had changed its assessment of the F-10, which initially had been likened to the F-16. Now, DOD pegs the new China-built fighter as paralleling the capability of the Eurofighter Typhoon.
The Air Force on March 12 awarded contract modifications worth a combined $2.4 billion to Boeing to procure an undisclosed number of E-7 Wedgetail as part of the program's engineering and manufacturing development phase and continue work on the airborne battle management aircraft’s radar.
