It's clear that the Chinese fighter jets represented by the FC-1/JF-17 have hurt India, and they have tried every possible way to block them. The J-10CE is entirely domestic, and India can't block it, so they can only rely on Russia.

Russia has officially refused. Russia has a long-term view. Originally, it was planned to replace Russia's RD-93MA with China's WS-13 engine. China's turbofan engine technology has far surpassed Russia's engines, but it is just suffering from a lack of reputation. In addition, given Russia's current situation, the parts for the RD-33 series engines are more abundant than wool, making it impossible to completely block. Even if the supply is cut off, it would simply mean ceding the market to China.

Russians have a character of not wanting to lose even a small advantage. To protect precious foreign exchange income and the sale of RD-93MA parts, Russia definitely does not want to lose this market.

Chinese fighter jets have left India with psychological trauma.

At the same time as India pressured Russia, General Singh, Chief of the Indian Air Force, exaggerated Russian S-400s. On October 5th, at the annual air force conference in India, he told the world that in the 57th air battle between India and Pakistan, India used the S-400 to rewrite the rules of war, attacking from over 400 kilometers away, shooting down five F-16s and FC-1/JF-17s, and also shooting down one American C-130. It's unimaginable to say that they shot down the J-10, which shows how much psychological trauma it has caused to India. They dare not even challenge the J-10, and only claim to have shot down an American aircraft.

General Singh from India can still talk big, blowing up weapons like the S-400 to the sky. I don't believe the Indian media at all, but some people really believe it. If India says that the Rafale hasn't been shot down, then we can only listen to India's claims of shooting down the F-16.

However, Russia has officially refused India's request. According to India's plan, it is expected to retaliate against Russia. Now, we need to see the extent of India's retaliation. India is indeed helpless. The Rafale, which was highly anticipated, couldn't beat the J-10CE of Pakistan, and other planes may not be able to beat the FC-1/JF-17 either. It can only be said that India's multi-national air force is indeed not good.
