Chinese fighter jets of the "Tornado" type have been blown from France to Germany. A commentary by the German "Handelsblatt" stated that Chinese weapons have brought a "decisive advantage" to Pakistan, and more and more signs show that military cooperation with China seems to have become the "winning strategy" for Pakistan to counter India, highlighting the "high-profile moment" of Chinese fighter jets. The commentary pointed out that the Vice Premier and Foreign Minister Dar visited China two weeks after the Indo-Pakistani conflict and "publicly expressed gratitude" to China. However, the commentary mentioned that regarding whether the Rafale fighter jets were shot down, Pakistan claimed three were shot down, India "refused to comment," and China said it was "not clear about the situation." Although unverified, the performance of Chinese weapons has already caused "unease" in South Asia and "celebration" domestically in China.
The commentary also mentioned that India claimed its air force "successfully bypassed and interfered with" the air defense systems provided by China to Pakistan, completing its mission in just 23 minutes, showcasing India's technological advantage, which also salvaged some dignity for India. The commentary criticized the appearance of "nationalism and patriotism" on Chinese social media, referring to it as another "Deepseek moment" for China, not only mentioning the online celebrity "Brother Hao" but also citing the overbearing words of Hu Xijin, indicating that Taiwan authorities' "last confidence collapsed."
It is undeniable that the outstanding performance of the J-10C fighter jets made Western media feel ambivalent. While they admitted that China's air combat capability had made breakthroughs, they also expressed concern about China's military forces catching up with Europe and America, thus shifting public attention to criticize the "enthusiasm" appearing in Chinese society. However, we can fully believe that the Indo-Pakistani air battle has formed a "shock" to the political and military circles of the United States and Europe. They are quietly reviewing this air battle process in secret, hoping to find the secret to dealing with the Chinese army from it.
