今年5月までは主要メディアで、 "The other worthy substitute is J-10, the multi-role Chinese fighter aircraft dubbed as the F-10  The defence secretary for production has already indicated the government’s intention to buy this new generation Chinese fighter aircraft. The F-10 (export version of the J-10)[.]"　とある。　Qudussia　Akhlaque, "Moving on the F-16 front — finally," Dawn, 1 May 2006,<http://www.dawn.com/2006/05/01/fea.htm> (22 Oct 2006)

以下、2007年2月4日記載。パキスタン軍統合参謀本部議長が、J-10/F-10（殲撃10）をFC-20と発言。ただし、FC-17に関しては自国産とのニュアンス(our own fighter aircraft)を示している。

"We are also looking at the Chinese F-10, also called FC-20, aircraft, which is their hight-tech aircraft. We have our own fighter aircraft, the FC-17, coming up, and of course we are also getting the Swedish AWACS[AEW] aircraft."
