Acquisition of J-15 for PAF- Air Superiority & Deep Strike Platfrom

[Mingle]

Bhaio....interesting development...Indian news channel reported multiple intel. suggested that some 40 J10s were spotted on skardu AB...during indo-china clashes last months....the analysts said these jets stayed briefly and thn flew to into Pakistan ....

It is reasonably correct ...as far as route is concerned....but if it is true...why J10? We were expecting twin engine....

Skardu AB can only accommodate 08 jets.....may be a stop over...moved else where...remember news also broke in same time period that some unknown planes spotted over khi and social media started covering funny stories .....

Just wondering ?

Excellent post, however, the point 2B is definitely correct for an inline mass-produced item, but Jets or Cars (and a million other) are not in line mass produced items. Their various components might be mass-produced by various sub-contractors or the LM itself in its various plants and factories, but the final product is just an assembly process where replacing component "A" with "B" or "C" is not that big of an issue provided those components "B" and "C" are already tested (during their own manufacturing process independent of final jet assembly process) and are pre-qualified and tested to go on the final model. This is how you get so many trims for each car. Because it's all designed and built to be modular.

2) Cost
--> B) cost of "customizing a few units"
-----> it is a general rule of mass production...that the more units that are produced of the same exact spec...the lower the cost per unit. For an example...where I work...among some of the products that are made...include tablets and capsules. The production line gets set up for a certain bottle size, with a certain corresponding lid size, the label of a certain size that's gonna go on the bottle gets set up. Then when everything is in order...the production line starts rolling. It takes time...and cost(technicians setting up the production line for that specific packaging size)...so if u make a million bottles...that cost of setting up the production line gets divided over those million bottles. If u make 5 and then change up the production line for a different size of packaging or a different product...then make 10...and so on...
...then that's more cost per unit. This applies to anything and everything that is mass produced...including fighter jets. This is why the cost of the F35 has come down(due to mass production)...if they start adding customizations disrupting the production line...it will go back up. The same holds true for F16 Block 70...the US is mass producing them in one set configuration...if they disrupt the production line to add a different radar for Pakistan's F16s...the cost will go up.
