How Pakistan shot down India's cutting-edge fighter using Chinese gear
ISLAMABAD CAPITAL TERRITORY, PAKISTAN, AUG 2 – Pakistan integrated Chinese J-10C jets and PL-15 missiles in a multi-domain operation that reduced Indian situational awareness, leading to at least one Rafale downed, officials said.
- On August 2, Reuters reported that the Pakistan Air Force deployed Chinese-made J-10C fighter jets armed with PL-15 missiles to shoot down a Rafale from around 200 kilometers on May 7.
- Amid tensions after a militant attack in Kashmir, India blamed Islamabad and responded with air strikes on May 7, despite Islamabad’s denial.
- Connecting military hardware across domains, five Pakistani officials said, the 'kill chain' linked air, land, and space sensors and conducted an electronic assault on Indian sensors and communications systems.
- Later that day, U.S. officials secured a ceasefire after a night-long engagement involving around 110 aircraft, during which Pakistan claimed to have downed at least 6 jet aircraft.
- The downing exposed vulnerabilities in India’s air defense strategy and increased global interest in Chinese fighter jets, with Indonesia considering J-10s.
