For the first time, the HQ-9B air defense missile participated in a battle and shot down a Rafale fighter jet, achieving an excellent start! Latest information shows that Pakistan has shot down five Indian aircraft, with Pakistan losing one aircraft. Further details still need to wait for more information.
This battle indicates that the Indian Air Force, composed of weapons from various countries, is simply incapable of fighting. French Rafale fighters, Russian Su-30 fighters, Israeli drones, and India's domestically produced LCA fighters, as well as American-made long-range reconnaissance aircraft and transport aircraft.
Combined with various radars and electronic equipment imported from Russia, France, Italy, Israel, and the United States, there is no integrated data link, and the so-called joint combat capability is just each fighting on their own. All these things are good individually, but when combined, they are like a square peg in a round hole, making it difficult for them to cooperate effectively.
Currently, Pakistan's main force is entirely equipped with Chinese weapons, and the coordination and cooperation are very compatible. When it comes to battle, they fight as a cohesive unit. As a result, the J-10, FC-1 Xiaolong, and HQ-9 have all achieved success.
