In a high-octane revelation, a new Chinese state TV documentary has confirmed what’s been buzzing in defense circles — Pakistan’s J-10C fighter jets took down multiple Indian aircraft, including three Rafale jets, in a dramatic May 7 dogfight over Kashmir.
Broadcast on CCTV, the documentary marks a major moment: the J-10CE’s first real-world kill, catapulting China’s warbird into global spotlight and giving Pakistan a powerful military edge — and bragging rights.
From Blueprints to Battlefield Brilliance
The documentary traces the J-10’s journey from its Cold War-era conception to battlefield stardom. Built from scratch in the 1980s by Song Wencong and his team at the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, the J-10 was China’s answer to Western and Soviet air superiority — and today, it’s a frontline legend.
Pakistan’s upgraded J-10C variant, packed with stealth tech, AESA radar, and long-range PL-15 missiles, made its combat debut with deadly precision — and zero losses.
Global Spotlight & Growing Arsenal
Currently showcased at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition, the J-10C is drawing global attention. The documentary not only cements its combat credibility but also highlights China’s growing role as Pakistan’s top defense supplier, accounting for 81% of its military imports from 2020–2024.
From the JF-17 to PL-15 missiles, and now a battle-proven J-10C — China and Pakistan’s sky-high alliance is sending a clear message: the game has changed.
