Chinese fighter planes and missiles get a boost from the Indian-Pakistani confrontation

When Pakistan said he had shot down several Indian fighter planes this month, undulations of this assertion extended to the Southern China Sea in Taiwan.

The Pakistani forces piloted J-10C fighters from Chinese manufacturing during the four-day conflict with India, and those responsible said that Chinese missiles had dropped Indian planes.

The J-10 Jets, which the Chinese media nicknamed the “combatant of national pride”, were often used in Chinese military exercises to threaten Taiwan, the autonomous democracy that Beijing affirms as his. But they had not been tested in combat, leaving the opening of the question of how they would happen in the real fight.

In China, commentators said that this question replied now.

“Taiwanese experts say that the Taiwanese army has no chance against the J-10C”, the Global Times, a nationalist tabloid, sang on Monday.

The Chinese government has not directly confirmed Pakistani complaints and India has not publicly confirmed the loss of plane. But on Saturday, the Chinese state broadcaster declared on social networks that J-10C jets had recently “obtained combat results for the first time”, with the position including a hashtag linked to the India-Pakistan conflict.

Zhou Bo, a retired senior colonel of the Chinese army, wrote in an opinion article according to which the success of the jets would strengthen Chinese confidence in future territorial disputes against Taiwan and the Southern China Sea.
