My elder brother, China, and Pakistan boldly addressed India: "If you don't behave yourself next time, we will beat you 60 to 0."
According to a report by "Defense Asia" on September 7, Shahryar Khan, the Deputy Chief of the Pakistani Air Force, made a bold statement at the Karachi Defense and Martyrs' Day, saying that the next air combat score against India would not be 6 to 0, but 60 to 0.
Pakistan dared to make such a bold declaration, naturally because of the courage provided by Chinese equipment. The Pakistani Air Force believes that with the advanced system of the J-10C fighter jet and the PL-15 long-range air-to-air missile, they can easily overwhelm the Indian forces.
The large-scale aerial battle in early May was called the largest aerial confrontation since the Cold War, with both sides deploying over a hundred sorties of aircraft. Pakistan claimed to have shot down six Indian aircraft, including three Rafales.
This achievement is not recognized by India, but it is generally accepted by the international community.
There are several facts that cannot be ignored: First, for the first time, Pakistan widely used the J-10C and PL-15, truly demonstrating the combat capability of Chinese-made equipment; Second, the Indian pride, the Rafale and Meteor missiles, are not as strong as advertised, especially in beyond-visual-range combat, where they cannot match the PL-15 at all.
Even though Pakistan uses the PL-15E, its range still exceeds 200 kilometers, meaning that Pakistani pilots can strike Indian targets within their own airspace.
This tactical advantage of firing first often determines the outcome of modern air combat.
In contrast, although the Meteor is hyped up, it reveals its weakness once it goes to war.
Now, Pakistan clearly has confidence. Although India's overall military power is stronger, in terms of aerial combat, India has indeed failed to defeat Pakistan in past encounters.
