Chinese state television has recently released a documentary celebrating the success of its advanced fighter jet, the J-10C. The documentary claims that the jet was used in a real combat situation, where it performed impressively by shooting down enemy aircraft.
According to the report, during recent tensions between Pakistan and India on May 7, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) deployed the Chinese-made J-10C fighter jets. It was claimed that the jets successfully shot down three Indian Rafale fighter jets, along with several other aircraft. While independent sources have yet to confirm the incident, the news has received significant attention in Chinese media.
The J-10C is a modern, 4.5-generation fighter aircraft developed by China. It was first designed in the 1980s and has undergone several upgrades over the years. Today, it comes equipped with advanced AESA radar systems and PL-15 long-range missiles, making it one of the most capable jets in its class.
The performance of the J-10CE (the export version) in this reported incident is being hailed as a major achievement by Chinese defense experts. They see it as proof that China’s military technology can perform well in real-life combat situations, not just training exercises.
This development also highlights the strong military cooperation between China and Pakistan. With Pakistan operating the J-10C in active service, the aircraft is gaining international attention as a reliable and powerful fighter jet.
