The Indian Air Force wants to maintain a leading position in armaments, but the situation has changed a lot, especially the appearance of the J-20, which puts India at a disadvantage. For this reason, the French Rafale fighter jets previously introduced have completely lagged behind, and India is seeking to introduce five generations of aircraft, including: American-made F-35, Russian-made Su-57, and homegrown fifth-generation aircraft are included in the selection. India's vain attempt to get rid of the fear of being suppressed by the J-20 has reached the point of no cost, and the Indian Air Force is enough to fight! Whenever it's possible, the Indian Air Force really dares to give it a try.
India's Rafales have no advantage over the J-10C
Unfortunately, the situation is still deteriorating, and the old rival Pakistan is also trying to improve its own equipment level. At the beginning of 2022, the pakistan air force introduced J-10C fighter news has been confirmed, and now it can also be proved that the J-10C has been delivered to the Pakistan Air Force, this achievement is not small, not only the success of the J-10, but also the success of the domestic turbofan 10 engine, the original export of the J-10C is equipped with the export model of the domestic turbofan-10 engine.
The pakistani minister's statement: I want to J-10C
China's aviation industry has made a lot of progress, but also the Indian Air Force trouble, J-10 fighter not only advanced performance, and Pakistan has obtained a stable source of advanced fighters, now there are more troublesome situations,
On March 7, 2022, Pakistan's Interior Minister officially confirmed the purchase of the J-10C for the first time in his speech, and hinted that Pakistan is considering the future procurement of the J-20, according to the words of the Pakistani railway minister: J-20, we also want! Publicly, "the time has come for us to get the J-20 stealth fighter too." A rather surprising thing is not an accident, the modern air force has entered the era of 5th generation aircraft, countries want to have their own 5th generation aircraft, Pakistan obviously also wants, engaged in independent research and development is not very reliable, the direct introduction of finished products has become a key, J-20 is enough to make Pakistan satisfied.
Both the J-10C and J-20 are our main fighters
In the past, the Pakistani side did not talk about the introduction of the J-20, but this does not mean that the Pakistani side did not have this mind, and the introduction of the J-10 may be the prelude to the introduction of the J-20. When talking about the export of the J-10, many people will notice that the turbofan 10 engine is successfully exported to the Pakistan Iron J-10, and may not have noticed that this engine is also the engine currently used by the J-20, both of which are universal turbofan 10 engines, and may be able to propose a reasonable plan: it is also to lay the foundation for the J-20. This possibility is quite large, the most important component of the fighter is the engine, for the maintenance and use of the engine will cost a considerable price, now familiar with this engine, perhaps in order to create conditions for future expansion of use.
In the Propaganda of the Pakistani side, it hopes to obtain the J-20
In any case, this is the first time that pakistan has publicly raised its wish, but it does not indicate that the transaction has been concluded, and the export of the J-20 has not yet been approved. This time, the minister of Pakistan did not clearly define the meaning of the deal, showing more of a desire, explaining: the best Chinese friends can sell! Hope to get the opportunity to introduce the J-20. The modern fifth-generation machine is a high-end product, not who wants to buy it, or a seller to decide, the key now is whether the J-20 should be sold to Pakistan?
