Beijing’s first export of J-10C jets marks step-up in decades-old arms relationship with Islamabad China will deliver 25 J-10C fighter jets to Pakistan within weeks as part of a deal that will bolster Islamabad’s military capabilities against mutual rival India. Beijing’s first export of the advanced jets marks a big step-up in its decades-old arms relationship with Islamabad and entails providing its ally with some of the latest equipment that China’s own armed forces are using. China will also broaden its support to Pakistan’s navy. The first batch of the combat aircraft is being tested in Chengdu, the base of its manufacturer Chengdu Aerospace Corporation, according to a journalist at a Chinese military publication. “They will be transferred to Pakistan once Pakistan air force pilots and technicians have completed an introduction to the aircraft,” he said. Senior officials in Islamabad said the jets would be delivered before the end of the month. Last week, Chinese and foreign military watchers posted photos and a video showing several J-10C aircraft flying the colours of the Pakistan air force on social media. China is also selling Pakistan four Type 054A frigates, the first of which began service in November, and is expected to begin delivery of up to eight Type 041 submarines, its quietest attack submarine, this year.

India, which has been engaged in a stand-off on its Himalayan border with China for nearly two years, believes the arms deliveries to Pakistan are an attempt to amplify the threat from Islamabad. India shares long land borders with both Pakistan and China. “There’s a clear strategic nexus between China and Pakistan,” said Brahma Chellaney, a professor of strategic studies at the Centre for Policy Research, a New Delhi think-tank. “That nexus is clearly designed to contain India, to pin India down and keep it preoccupied. That’s the Chinese strategic aim.” He described the latest arms deals as a significant shift, adding that “China is now selling or transferring its top of the line weapons systems to Pakistan”. The J-10C aircraft will help Pakistan close the air-power gap with India following New Delhi’s acquisition of 36 Rafale fighter jets from France. “This is our response to [India’s] Rafale,” Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed, Pakistan’s interior minister, said when he revealed the J-10C agreement in December.

Thank you ravenclaw_007 for the information and will try your subjection and send my feedback.

Thank you so much Sundowner but I think this TB2 has no problem with it, I think it is just Crawford installed model as it works great with me. but I have the same problem with the ground model anything attached to the main node cast its shadow not as one model but separately. and I have checked they don't have 2 sided mesh. Could it be the name of the node?

I have been noticing shadow problem with models that I have been making, any things attached to the main node cast it shadow separately from the main node that everthing attached to. For example the TB2 (thank you Crawford for making me try to seek a situation for this problem) Please gentlemen if any one have any idea why is this happening and how to fix it please share it with me.
