Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao reported today (May 18th) saying, "China's state media CCTV introduced on Saturday (May 17th) that China's export fighter jet J-10CE has achieved its first practical combat result, shooting down multiple enemy fighters in an air battle without any loss."
The report from the column "Military Time" did not specify which air battle it was, but Pakistani officials earlier this month claimed that Pakistan used the J-10C fighter jets to shoot down five Indian fighter jets at the border.
A few comments: The official confirmation is out! As a day-and-night, single-engine, single-seat, multi-purpose fighter jet independently developed by China, the J-10CE has the capabilities of system协同作战, multi-target attacks in strong electromagnetic interference environments beyond visual range, and multi-mode ground strikes with precision. It also features excellent mid-low altitude maneuverability and dogfighting, as well as supersonic flight performance. Achieving such brilliant results in actual combat fully demonstrates the outstanding combat performance of the J-10CE. This not only provides a powerful endorsement for China's aviation industry technology level but also offers significant support for expanding the international market for China's weapon equipment. There were previous reports that countries like Colombia had shown interest in the J-10CE. After the announcement of these combat results, it is expected that more countries will join the potential buyer list, thus affecting the global fighter jet market landscape.
