Russian media reports: Iran has received the first J-10C fighter jet from China!
On July 6, Russian media reported that Iran has received the first J-10C fighter jet equipped with PL-15 missiles.
Russian media cited Iranian media reports stating that Tehran has obtained the first fourth-generation fighter jet J-10C equipped with the long-range air-to-air missile PL-15 from China.
Earlier, Iran announced its plan to purchase 40 such aircraft and corresponding munitions from China.
Russian military science experts said that these aircraft performed very well in the conflict between Pakistan and India, demonstrating an advantage over the French Rafale, which has drawn high global attention to Chinese aviation technology.
The acquisition of Chinese J-10C fighters by Iran has attracted global attention, with experts questioning the authenticity of the "lightning delivery."
The Chinese authorities have not yet made a statement on this.
Russian military science experts believe that facing the threat of Israel's F-35, Iran's aging air force urgently needs modern equipment, but the real challenges are system gaps, pilot training, and maintenance network issues.
Russian netizen Sergey Medvedev asked: How long does it take to learn to fly it?
