Saudi Arabia is deflated in front of Pakistan, and China gives a remedial plan? The J-10C again went to the Middle East
In recent times, the Pakistan Air Force has played a leading role in the joint military exercise, codenamed Indus Shield 2023. In this exercise, the Pakistan Air Force did not use J-10C fighter jets to conduct simulated air combat with Saudi Arabian Air Force F-15SA fighters. Rumor has it that the Pakistan Air Force successfully used the JF-17 Thunder Block3 fighter to simulate the downing of the Saudi Arabian Air Force's F-15SA fighter in a simulated air battle. This result was quite embarrassing for the Saudi side, because the F-15SA fighter should have an advantage as a heavy fighter, but in front of the AESA active scanning array radar and Thunderbolt-15 air-to-air missiles of the Thunder Block3 fighter, the F-15SA fighter did not show an advantage.
Saudi Arabia has clearly suffered a setback in the Indus Shield 2023 exercise, and Pakistan's use of Thunder Block 3 fighter jets has put pressure on the Saudi Air Force. In order to compensate for this situation, China plans to send the PLA Air Force August 1 Air Show Team to Saudi Arabia to participate in the second international defense exhibition in Saudi Arabia. The Bayi Air Show Team is the only one of China's four air show teams that uses *** fighter jets. At present, they have completed the refitting of the J-10A to J-10C fighters, which has improved the display performance. China is determined to use this team to showcase the powerful performance of the J-10C fighter at international defense exhibitions in order to attract more overseas countries to buy it.
The role positioning of the J-10C fighter is similar to that of the F-16 fighter, but today the J-10C fighter has more advantages. The fighter is fast, and China is unlikely to delay deliveries. The Pakistan Air Force gives high praise to the J-10C fighter, which makes it possible for the J-10C fighter to replace the F-16 fighter in the international market.
If Saudi Arabia chooses to buy Chinese J-10C fighter jets, it will further boost its air force. Considering the best equipment purchased by Saudi Arabia from China in the past, there is a precedent for successful cooperation between the two countries in the field of defense. Therefore, it is not impossible for Saudi Arabia to buy Chinese fighters. The purpose of China's demonstration of the J-10C fighter to Saudi Arabia is to win over users in the Middle East and improve the actual combat experience of the J-10C fighter by getting more orders in overseas markets.
