India’s deployment of Rafale fighter jets in border areas is frightening Pakistan. The Pakistan Air Force is in the midst of significant discussions on how to deal with India using fighter jets powered by old technology. With this, Pakistan decided to buy 25 Chinese-made J-10C fighter jets in response to India’s purchase of Rafale aircraft.
Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told reporters on Wednesday that Pakistan had purchased a full squadron of 25 Chinese multi-roll J-10C fighter jets. The minister said a full squadron of 25 aircraft, including the J-10C, would take part in the ceremony on March 23 next year. Apparently, China has come to the rescue of its closest ally with one of its most trusted warplanes, the J-10C.
Meanwhile, the media reported that the minister had mistyped the name of the aircraft as JS-10 instead of J-10C. ‘VIP guests are coming to Pakistan for the first time (to attend the ceremony on March 23), the fly-past ceremony of JS-10 (J-10C) is taking place and the Pakistan Air Force is going to perform the fly-past of JS of China. 10 (J-10C) fighter jets in response to the raffles, ‘said Minister Ahmed.
The J-10C aircraft also took part in a joint Pakistan-China exercise last year. At that time, experts from Pakistan had the opportunity to scrutinize the warplanes. The joint exercises in Pakistan on December 7 lasted for about 20 days. China’s J-10C and J-11B jets, KJ-500 warning aircraft and Y-8 electronic aircraft participated in the exercise. Meanwhile, JF-17 and Mirage fighter jets from Pakistan took part.
