According to Indian sources, after seeing India's introduction of 5 Rafale fighters, in order to ensure that the air strength is not lost, Pakistan decided to start the introduction of 30 J-10Cs for confrontation. But less than half a month later, the Pakistani side once again revealed that the test flight of the advanced version of Xiaolong had achieved major success. And according to the news that the United States has heard, Pakistan will purchase more than 100 JF-17 Block3 (Xiaolong) at one time. This news has completely touched India’s sensitive nerves, because if it is accurate, it will mean that India has lost air superiority, and Pakistan will not need to estimate the air strike pressure for a long time.
At the same time, India has raised a question. Pakistan, which has just announced that it will purchase 30 J-10Cs, has the money to develop a deep revision of Xiaolong and purchase more than 100 at one go. According to U.S. sources, the newly modified Xiaolong fighter has achieved breakthrough development in many fields. The body is lighter, so the previous engine power problems will no longer exist, and the manufacturing, use and subsequent maintenance costs are very low. The existence of long-term effective combat power is clearly a situation that the Indian side does not want to see. Moreover, according to the analysis of the United States, the Su-30MKI heavy fighter that India had previously relied on is likely to be suppressed in the new round of confrontation and cannot achieve the previous brilliant results. Various factors have caused India to question that there is a "mysterious force" behind Pakistan.
Why are both India and the United States curious about Pakistan’s procurement costs? First, India, through gold dollar diplomacy, allowed Saudi Arabia, the previous largest funder of the Pakistan Railway, to abandon aid to Pakistan and pursue a $1 billion loan in advance. Secondly, in frequent military confrontations, both sides have invested a lot of military expenditures. India, which has bottomed out its pockets, has always thought that Pakistan has long been "poor and destitute." Now it has suddenly generously purchased more than 130 fighters, which naturally makes India bewildered. solution. Finally, I would like to say a digression, where did the Pakistani railway get the money, and what does it matter to you in India?
