Pakistani netizens announced that the J-10C fighter jets received in March 2022 are the most profitable transaction in the history of Pakistan's establishment. A single fighter jet directly defined the victory in the India-Pakistan war, it's really a great return on investment! The introduction of the J-10C fighter jets by Pakistan is just timely. Delivered in March 2022, the India-Pakistan air battle broke out on May 7, 2025, exactly three years later, allowing Pakistani pilots to achieve a complete victory.

After three years of training, Pakistani pilots are fully capable of mastering the full potential of the J-10C fighter jet. Plus the arrival of the new fighter jet, everything is perfectly matched. Then entering air system operations, using the J-10C fighter jet to shoot down various Indian fighter jets, it's a perfect match.

No matter how, this India-Pakistan conflict came at the right time. If Pakistan had received the J-10C fighter jets two years later, they might not have played such an effective role. Because all of Pakistan's F-16 fighter jets were locked by the United States, which is also a key reason for the J-10C fighter jets to take the main role.

After the India-Pakistan air battle, Pakistan's F-16 fighter jets will fall into the fate of secondary forces and can no longer serve as the main force. From then on, Pakistan will take the J-10C fighter jet as its main force, and use the FC-1 Xiaolong and F-16 fighter jets as supporting units to prepare for subsequent air battles.

In reality, the F-16 fighter jet cannot be integrated into the Chinese fighter jet plan, and can only serve as a wingman, playing a limited role in the future. Pakistan will gradually retire these F-16 fighter jets because they are no longer needed. They will be retired in one or two decades. All F-16 fighter jets will be completely converted to Chinese fighter jets and Chinese systems. The American fighter jets and systems will exit the history of Pakistan.
