According to foreign media reports: China has provided the J-10CE multi-role fighter to Colombia as a new option for the Colombian Air Force (FAC). The media said that unlike the Gripen, which Colombia previously chose, the J-10CE has successfully undergone combat tests.
In the past, without experiencing the baptism of smoke and fire in war, we underestimated the importance of practical combat tests. Various explanations suggested that not having fought a war did not mean one could not fight. However, since the "天涯六比零" (Tianya Six-to-Zero) air combat between India and Pakistan, we have been emphasizing practical combat tests at every turn. Whether it's the Malaysia Airshow or the possible future participation in the Paris Airshow, this feeling of "once you try it, you'll know how good it is" seems to be taking effect again.
This rare opportunity to spread national prestige, intimidate small rivals, and promote arms sales, our media, especially military media, should keep up with the times and fully play their role as the main force. Don't pretend not to see it. In terms of news sensitivity, regular media should surpass self-media.
