The Chinese J-10 ‘Dragon’ teeth appear in the fighting in India Pakistan

Even before the fog of the war began lifting, the shares of ChengDu Aircraft Companyi began to rise.

After nearly three decades of moving first to the sky, it was the first combat plane for the Chinese plane, the powerful J-10, had finally seen the fight-Ongt.

By four in the morning On May 7, Chinese diplomats in Islamabad were in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and they wandered around the results India.

As proven evidence, although it is still not decisive, the Pakistani pilot in the latest alternative to a strong dragon may have dropped the French -made Rafale Jet in India, the price of Chengdo jumped more than 40 percent in just two days.

“There is no better advertisement than a real fighting situation,” said Yoon Sun, a Chinese military affairs specialist at Stemphson Center in Washington, DC. “This came as a pleasant surprise for China … and the result is remarkable.”

While India and Pakistan It may be involved in their deepest skirmishes for decades, and the conflict is also a test ground for equipment that has different competition-that it is between China and the US-led Western alliance.

About 81 percent of Pakistan’s military equipment comes from China, including more than half of a combat aircraft and fighter from 400 people, according to estimates of the Institute of Peace Research in Stockholm and the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

This reflects the “weather friendship” that China has planted since the 1960s with Pakistan to try to resonance India. Andrew Small, an expert in Pakistani -Chinese relations at the German Foundation, said that the equipment provided by Pakistan has evolved alongside the defense industry in China.

“Regardless of cooperation on nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, much of what China provided was low-tanks, artillery, and small weapons,” said Small. Now, however, Pakistan has become a “offer to some modern capabilities in China.”

Meanwhile, India has emerged as the largest arms importer in the world, with its wealth and second aspirations.

Over the past decade, it has turned from relying on Russian suppliers to the United States, France and Israel for about half of its recent purchases, including advanced combat aircraft, transportation, fighting and monitoring.

“This is the most important global aspect here – this is the first time that Chinese military equipment has been tested against western equipment of the first degree,” said Sushant Singh, a lecturer in South Asian Studies at Yale University.

“Whenever this ends, the more the public budget will tell us what will happen in Taiwan, and the direction that Western defense companies should go to face the low cost and high -tech capabilities shown by the Chinese.”

When states go to war, they watch their allies and learn. After Ukraine repelled a column of approximately 50 miles of Russian shields-tanks, armored vehicles, etc.-using modern British and American shoulder missiles, Indian diplomats in Kiev were closely watching them.

“Is this true what they say about the Russian tanks-the vial, and easy to loll,” one of the journalists asked returning from the front lines, in reference to how the missiles were detonated from the tanks.

When Taiwan saw the effectiveness of the US Motor missile system in the United States in the United States, he was hitting Russian targets behind the confrontation line, pressed to raise the delivery of his own orders. By next year, you will have approximately 30 truck-installed systems-which are more than Ukraine.

Even short skirmishes, such as India and Pakistan, fought regularly, serving a unique purpose. The enemies test each other, show their own capabilities, and seek to apply the current red lines and set new lines.

It generates huge amounts of operational data that make up the following skirmishes – or win the next war. The allies share that data and weapons manufacturers analyze them, and replace their weapons systems.

One of them in New Delhi said that the defense attachments from the Western competitors were awaiting “impatiently”, so that India could share the radar and electronic signatures of the J-10C while they were in the combat situation so that their air defenses can be trained in this.

Likewise, for China, these skirmishes were testing not only for the plane but the advanced radar system – which is called an active, electronic, installed, attached to the front of the plane. The fighting tested its ability to search for threats, but also helping the missiles.

Orange, Ahmed, Vice President of Pakistani Air Operations, said that the PL-15 variables were among the missiles used in the skirmishes this week. An hour -old participation in the semester will be studied, “Ahmed Bakhra.” I have knocked on some meaning to these men. “

Robert of that timeA researcher at the Royal United Services Institute in London said that the use of the PL-15E missile may be “very important.” Indian media reported that the PL-15 has been recovered, providing an opportunity to study its secrets.

“If it is confirmed, we have now seen ASA’s Chinese Show to Armsin in Basri, used to fight,” he said.

Western countries and Russia were testing the battle of their releases from AESA for decades. Toulst said that the details of these individual skirmishes – such as the number of missiles launched to strike a successful target – “could be very useful for the Chinese in assessing the ability of this weapon.”

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond, nor Chengdu plane to request the suspension.

On the other side of the professor’s book, the success of the Indian missiles-many of which showed long French French missiles-were found on their targets on both the weakness and scarcity of the Pakistani air defenses.

Pakistan is known to publish HQ-9 systems in China, which is a generation behind the development of Russian S-400s and is at the end of the stock in India.

“The truth is that even at one time developed, Indian missiles have penetrated the Pakistani airspace without discovery,” said Lakman Kumar Behra, who specializes in national security in India at the University of Jawaher Nehru in New Delhi.

On Thursday, India’s revenge targeted “radars and air defense systems in Pakistan in a number of sites in Pakistan,” according to the Indian army.

“This is a very accurate display of a very sophisticated ability-to remove the defenses, not an actual goal,” said a large Western diplomat based in Delhi. “It is carefully calibrating – he says, see, if we can take the lock from your door, we can come home whenever we want.”

India and Pakistan have decisive details about the strengths of their opponent from the previous clashes – and identified their weaknesses.

After India succeeded in disturbing the lands in the Himalayas from a Pakistani transgression in 1999, an internal investigation of its Russian fleet of Meg from Meg is struggling to maneuver in the mountain paths, or find targets in the snow while evading the shoulder -installed missiles.

Three aircraft were shot down in three days before India turned into the French mirage – the first deployment of accuracy and laser missiles by the Indian Air Force, and the beginning of the transformation from Russian aircraft to the western.

Likewise, after India responded to the killing of 40 security personnel by a Pakistan militant group with air strikes in the Pakot area in Pakistan, not only the Mig 21 plane, but its forces were accidentally shot down a helicopter in a friendly fire accident, killing seven.

“The Pakistani army officers considered me well – they are the comprehensive gentlemen,” the pilot who was arrested was shown in a video of propaganda before his release. “Great tea.”

The two incidents confirmed that India lacks air alarm and air control systems – aircraft that fly at high altitudes carrying advanced radars and sensors that can detect enemy aircraft, missiles and drones.

But the bureaucratic challenges in India made learning from all the difficult and ineffective, compared to the simplest purchase system for Pakistan, which has one major resource – China – an army dominating the country.

Only in March only this year, India issued a notice “acceptance of necessity” for the triple India fleet from the early warning plane to 18 years. Publish it years away.

“If these air retaliations that reach a longer period of time, India will feel its absence strongly.”

“If it turns out that India lost a French plane in front of a Chinese missile launched from more than 100 km, it is clear that this need is urgent.”
