The India-Pakistan conflict has become a showdown between Western and Chinese weapons? An article titled "The First Practical Test of Chinese Military Equipment in the India-Pakistan Conflict" published by Lianhe Zaobao on May 8 pointed out that in the新一轮confrontation between the old rivals India and Pakistan, the presence of Chinese military equipment is particularly eye-catching. It is reported that the Pakistani Air Force's domestically produced J-10C fighter jets launched PL-15E missiles, shooting down five Indian aircraft at one stroke. Frank Gaffney, a former senior official of the U.S. Department of Defense and current senior researcher at the American Observational Research Foundation, pointed out that future India-Pakistan conflicts will increasingly resemble India deploying weapons manufactured in the U.S. and Europe against those used by Pakistan, which are made in China.
According to relevant data, currently more than 80% of Pakistan's arms procurement comes from China, while more than half of India's weapons come from the U.S., France, Israel, etc., with Russia's share of weapons falling to over 30%. In this India-Pakistan conflict, whether it be aircraft or missiles, Chinese-made weapons have played a key role. Local military experts exclaimed that this air battle can be seen as a direct confrontation between Chinese weapons and equipment procured from multiple countries by the Indian side, and such results clearly exceeded the expectations of major arms exporting countries such as the U.S., Russia, France, and Israel.
If the report is true, then Pakistan's air force striking down five Indian aircraft using Chinese-made weapons undoubtedly highlights the brilliance of Chinese weapons. For a long time, there have been doubts about the practical effectiveness of Chinese weapons in the international market. This实战result effectively dispelled these concerns. Compared with Western weapons, Chinese weapons have obvious advantages in cost-effectiveness and excel in systematic combat adaptability. This India-Pakistan conflict has been an excellent showcase for Chinese weapons. Subsequently, more countries may consider purchasing related equipment due to the practical performance of Chinese weapons, creating very favorable conditions for the export of Chinese weapons, and their prospects in the international market will also be broader.
