On Saturday, in a clear reference to the Kashmir conflict, a CCTV military programme said the J-10CE – the export variant of the J-10C – had for the first time marked an achievement “in a real battle in recent days”, and that it had shot down a handful of foreign jets without losing one in conflict.
It added that the fighter jet had many advantages, including measures to reduce radar cross-section, advanced avionics system and missiles. The aircraft is on display at the ongoing Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition in Malaysia.
