Even as US President Donald Trump signed huge arms deals during his visit to the Gulf, Pakistan’s recent fighting against India gave China an opportunity to market fighter planes at reduced prices, according to the British newspaper Times.
The newspaper initially pointed out that both India and Pakistan claimed that it had won the fighting that took place between their forces recently, without there being evidence to prove this.
But the Times believes that the country that can provide realistic evidence of the victory of any of the two warring countries, China, in particular its military industry.
The newspaper correspondent, Richard Spencer, reported in his report that the shares of “Avic Chengtdo” aircraft manufacturing, based in southwestern China, witnessed an increase in its value by 40% only 5 days after the fighting between India and China stopped.
An armed conflict erupted between India and Pakistan, two nuclear powers, in early May, after an attack on Indian tourists in the part of India of Kashmir, killing 26 people, and New Delhi rushed to accuse Pakistan groups of being behind that incident, which was denied by altogether and in detail.
The newspaper pointed out that the Pakistani army managed to shoot down a French Rafale plane-at least, according to Western sources-affiliated with the Indian Air Force by by a much cheaper plane (J-10C).
She added that the plane was produced by “Avic Chengdo”, and it was performed in the face of the French -made Rafale plane with great national enthusiasm across China.
It is said that the J-10C plane-whose export price is about 40-50 million dollars, compared to more than 200 million dollars for Raval-has strong radar capabilities represented in the “ASA)”.
It is also equipped with a long-range (BL-15) missile, which is alleged to be one of the Rafale plane over India without the Pakistani plane leaving its air field.
In an article posted on the website (China Academy), Chinese analyst Ho Chojin wrote that shooting down the French -made plane like “one of the most persuasive Chinese weapons achievements on the ground and the global square, and the moment of penetration of the Chinese military industry.”
Shigen: The shooting of a Western -made plane by an old -style Chinese plane will have severe repercussions on any war in the future over the sky of Taiwan, which has to feel fear
He continued, “The shooting down of a Western -made plane by an old -style Chinese plane will have severe repercussions on any war in the future over the sky of Taiwan, which must feel fear” as he put it.
He revealed that China has two new planes that outperform that old-style plane, which are the J-20 that has now entered service, and the other from the J-35, and is currently under the final experiences.
While China, the United States and its allies are currently using the most advanced fifth-generation aircraft-such as the Chinese J-22, and two (F-22) and F-35 Americans-there are requests from “secondary military forces” on modern technology, but they are not the latest and most advanced.
Although China usually dominates export markets, it has failed to catch up with other military aircraft and equipment. From 2019 until last year, it is ranked fourth in the total arms sales, after America – which is the largest weapon in the world – and France and Russia, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
According to the Times, Pakistan acquires Assad’s share of Chinese weapons exports. But after America was supplying it with weapons, differences between the two countries caused allegations related to “terrorism” and the support of Islamabad Taliban in Afghanistan in the shrinking deals of the two countries of the two countries, which led Islamabad to turn greatly towards Beijing.
The British newspaper believes that other countries in the Middle East, especially those in Africa, may follow the example of Pakistan, noting that Egypt-“which is often different with its American ally and its equipment with weapons”-has recently conducted the first joint air maneuvers with China, which reached its climax with J-10C aircraft flying over the pyramids.
Yu Ziwan, a correspondent of the newspaper (Lynahi Zubao), which is published in the Chinese language in Singapore, suggests that the outstanding performance of high-tech Chinese weapons such as the J-10C plane in the last clash between India and Pakistan is to enhance recognition and confidence in the international arena.
