Afraid of India's warplane Rafale, Pakistan has bought J-10 fighter jets from China. Pakistan is claiming that this J-10 aircraft of China will be able to compete with India's Rafale. But according to experts, J-10 will prove to be laggy in front of Rafale. Pakistan has inducted J-10 in its Air Force. Pakistani PM Imran Khan not only presented on the occasion of the induction of new fighter planes into the Air Force but also took stock of the fighter aircraft by sitting in J-10 at Pakistan Minhas Air Force Base in Attock district.

Addressing the Pakistan Air Force, Imran Khan said, "Unfortunately, an imbalance has arisen in the region and today we had to make a big increase in our defence system to solve it." Imran, who was flaunting the Made in China warship, was shown the mirror by a Pakistani MP doctor, Afnan Ullah Khan when he said that the J-10 fighter jet is a dwarf in front of Rafale.

With the Rafale being equipped with state-of-the-art technology, it has a range of 3,700 km. This fighter plane can take off with many different types of missiles. Rafale is the best fighter aircraft in the whole world in terms of electronic warfare technology. The biggest argument that is made for Rafale being superior to J-20 is that Rafale has experience of many successful operations over 13 years and has shown its strength deployed in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Mali and Iraq.
The J-10's cockpit is fitted with a Planar array radar with three liquid crystal (LCD) multi-function displays, which are capable of tracking up to 10 targets simultaneously. It is worth noting that this is a copy of Israel's IAI Lavi, which Israel stopped making 34 years ago.

On the occasion of the induction of the new fighter jets into the Air Force, Prime Minister Imran Khan, while pointing to the purchase of India's Rafale fighter jets from France, said, "Unfortunately, attempts are being made to create an imbalance in the region and to resolve it; a major enhancement has been made to our defence system. The J-10C is a 4.5th generation fighter jet and is much more powerful than the JF-17 that is currently being used by Pakistan.
