J-10 vs Rafale: Sky Duel Shakes Global Military Stage
Islamabad/New Delhi: The recent aerial clash between Pakistani and Indian fighter jets has become the center of attention on the global stage. Defense analysts and military agencies are viewing the incident as a practical demonstration of modern combat capabilities.
According to the international news agency “Reuters”, US officials have revealed that a Chinese-made Pakistani fighter jet shot down at least two Indian fighter jets on Wednesday, which is being described as a significant development in terms of Chinese technology, especially the performance of the J-10 aircraft.
This aerial clash is proving to be a rare experience for those forces that want to shape their strategies by observing the performance of fighter jets, pilots’ skills and air weapons to prevail in future conflicts.
According to unconfirmed reports, the Chinese-made PL-15 missile, which is considered a direct competitor to the European-made Meteor missile, was used in the clash. The missile’s performance is being debated on social media and in global defense circles.
Douglas Barry, a senior analyst at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, says the clash offers a potential comparison between the West’s and China’s most advanced air weapons, and air forces around the world are eager to learn from it.
According to experts, the clash represents not just a fight between two countries but an important chapter in the field of global defense balance and technology, which could have implications for the Indo-Pacific region as well as the Taiwan dispute.
