The Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Zahid, said that the J-10C is very advanced and impressive. Look at this, isn't it coincidental? Indonesia has just spent 8.1 billion US dollars to order 42 Rafale fighters. If Malaysia buys a batch of J-10CE fighters, it can be replicated!
Malaysia has always been very vigilant in the military aspect towards Indonesia. Because in history, former Indonesian President Sukarno wanted to annex Malaysia to promote Greater Indonesia ideology. In the 1960s-1970s, Malaysia and Indonesia were sworn enemies.
Southern Indonesia on Borneo Island has always wanted to seize East Malaysia. At that time, various special operations, infiltration wars, and guerrilla attacks kept breaking out!
Once there are 3-4 J-10CE fighter squadrons, for the first time in Malaysia's history, it will surpass Indonesia's air force in terms of air power, and it can control the Malacca Strait, what a good thing. The J-10CE fighter participating in the air show has already demonstrated the maritime strike load mode.
This means carrying 2 medium-range air-to-air missiles, 2 short-range dogfight air-to-air missiles, 2 fuel tanks, and 2 heavy pylons can carry anti-ship missiles, small pylons can carry electronic warfare pods.
This is enough for the Malaysian Air Force! It can completely suppress the Indonesian Air Force's Rafale fighters and suppress the Indonesian Navy's warships.
