ISLAMABAD – In a dramatic escalation of aerial warfare, Pakistan Air Force (PAF) shot down six Indian Air Force (IAF) jets during recent intense clashes, marking a significant shift in the region’s air power dynamics, and now Chinese PLAAF Chengdu J-10C fighter jet was recently seen displaying “kill marks” representing Indian aircraft losses.
As South Asian region saw unprecedented attacks, PAF successfully neutralized Indian prized Rafale jets, Su-30MKI air superiority aircraft, MiG-29 fighter, and an Israeli-made Heron drone.
Pakistani J-10C fighters, equipped with advanced Chinese PL-15 beyond-visual-range missiles, reportedly engaged Indian jets with precision and lethality, underscoring growing effectiveness of Pakistan’s air fleet. The state-of-the-art tech of Chengdu J-10C and unmatched skills of PAF boys played key role in dogfight as Chinese jets passed with flying colors.
As PAF victory added another chapter to modern warfare books, China marks iron-brother Pakistan with display of “kill marks” on its J-10C—symbols traditionally used to denote confirmed enemy kills, advancing close strategic partnership between Beijing and Islamabad.
As Pakistan seeks to expand its fleet of J-10Cs amid ongoing regional tensions, the joint message sent by these markings signals a new chapter in South Asian aerial warfare, where emerging indigenous technologies and alliances are reshaping power equations.
