According to open source information, the J-10CE fighter sent by the Pakistan Air Force participated in the "Jizar-II" joint air exercise held by the Qatar Air Force, and achieved good results in the air competition with the European ET-2000 "Typhoon" fighter.
Pakistani netizens suppressed their joy and broke the news on the Internet that the J-10CE fighter jet installed by the Pakistani Air Force had an overwhelming advantage over the European "Typhoon" fighter jet, the top configuration of the Qatari Air Force.
It is reported that the J-10CE achieved a complete victory of 9:0 in the air confrontation with the European "Typhoon". Among them, in the over-the-horizon simulated air battle, it won 4:0, and in the close-range air "dog fight", it took a 5:0 lead.
In highly complex air joint exercises, including multiple subjects and interoperability between the two allies of Baka and simulated near-real air combat scenarios, the J-10CE was able to win with a score of 9:0, which was still beyond the perception of many netizens.
The European "Typhoon" fighter is definitely not a vegetarian, this fighter designed by Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain has a maximum flight speed of Mach 2 and a maximum range of 2,900 kilometers. It has 13 pylons, a maximum take-off weight of 23.5 tons, and a maximum bomb load of 7.5 tons.
The "Typhoon" is a high-performance fighter with two Ronaldo EJ200 engines, which has super-maneuverability no less than that of the United States and Russia as non-stealth advanced fighters, and is known as the "Three Heroes" of European fighters along with the "Rafale" of the French Dassault company and the JAS-39 "Gripen" of the Swedish Saab company.
According to the information previously disclosed by the Pakistan Air Force, the J-10CE has a maximum take-off weight of 19.28 tons, a maximum flight speed of Mach 1.8, a maximum range of 2592 kilometers, 11 external pylons, and a maximum bomb load of 7 tons.
Judging only from the parameters of the J-10CE and the "Typhoon" fighter, there is no doubt that the "Typhoon" fighter has certain advantages over the J-10CE. In particular, the advantages of twin engines over single engines can be reflected in the performance of range and flight speed.
In the "Gizhar-II" joint air exercise, the Pakistan Air Force was equipped with a single-engine J-10CE, but it achieved an advantage over the Qatari Air Force equipped with a double-engine European "Typhoon" fighter, and won with a score of 9:0, which can be called a miracle. Let the majority of netizens really be impressed by the comprehensive technical and tactical performance of the J-10CE.
If the news disclosed by Pakistani netizens on the Internet is true, it means that the J-10C fighter developed by AVIC Chengfei Company has won the same competition with the "Typhoon" and "Gripen" in the "Three Heroes" of European fighters abroad.
It is an indisputable fact that the J-10C won the "Gripen" in many aerial battles. The J-10C/J-10CE, which is also a canard wing layout, overwhelms the "two heroes" in the European "three heroes" who are also canard wing aerodynamic layouts.
This inevitably makes the majority of netizens full of confidence, looking forward to the J-10CE equipped by the Pakistan Air Force or the J-10C equipped by the Chinese Air Force, which can have the opportunity to compete with the most powerful comprehensive combat effectiveness in the European "Three Heroes", and the "Rafale" fighter with the same canard aerodynamic layout created by Dassault of France, whether it is the J-10C/J-10CE is powerful, or the legendary benchmark of the world's non-stealth fighter - "Rafale" fighter Niu Cha.
According to the Pakistan Air Force, in the "Shock-II" joint air exercise held in Doha, Qatar, the J-10CE showed extraordinary strength in the confrontation with the Qatari Air Force's "Typhoon" fighter jet, which was also the first head-on confrontation between two advanced fighters with a canard wing layout.
In short, the J-10CE and the "Typhoon" each have similar advanced helmet-mounted observation and sighting systems, the Thunderbolt-15E long-range air-to-air missile against the "Meteor" medium-range air-to-air missile, and the Thunderbolt-10E close-range combat missile against the AIM-132 close-range combat missile, are also on par, and it stands to reason that they will not play an overwhelming 9:0 score.
The author of this article speculates that the reason for the victory of the J-10CE is mainly that the J-10CE's gallium nitride airborne active phased array radar is better than the "Typhoon" gallium arsenide airborne active phased array radar in terms of performance, so the J-10CE has won in the detection and locking of targets.
In addition, another important reason why the "Typhoon" fighter lost to the J-10CE is actually the pilot factor. Compared with the pilots of the Qatari Air Force, the pilots of the Pakistan Air Force have rich combat experience, so when competing in the air, the gap between the two is reflected.
It is precisely because of the actual combat experience and experience of Pakistani pilots that many pilots have been hired by Middle Eastern oil-producing countries such as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia as flight instructors in their air forces with high salaries to train their air force fighter pilots.
