May 8 (Reuters) – A top Chinese-made Pakistani fighter plane shot down at least two Indian military aircraft on Wednesday, two U.S. officials told Reuters, marking a major milestone for Beijing’s advanced fighter jet.

An Indian Air Force spokesperson said he had no comment when asked about the Reuters report.

The performance of a leading Chinese fighter jet against a Western rival is being closely watched in Washington for insights into how Beijing might fare in any showdown over Taiwan or the wider Indo-Pacific.

One U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there was high confidence that Pakistan had used the Chinese-made J-10 aircraft to launch air-to-air missiles against Indian fighter jets – bringing down at least two.

Another official said at least one Indian jet that was shot down was a French-made Rafale fighter aircraft.

Both officials said Pakistan’s F-16 aircraft, made by Lockheed Martin LMT.N, were not used in the shootdown.

Delhi has not acknowledged the loss of any of its planes and instead said it carried out successful strikes against what it said was “terrorist” infrastructure inside Pakistan.

World powers from the U.S. to Russia and China have called for calm in one of the world’s most dangerous, and most populated, nuclear flashpoint regions.

In France, Rafale manufacturer Dassault Aviation AM.PA and the MBDA AIR.PA, BAES.L, LDOF.MI consortium, which makes the Meteor air-to-air missile, could not immediately be reached for comment on a public holiday.

While Reuters reported on Wednesday that three Indian planes went down, citing local government officials in India, this marks the first Western confirmation that Pakistan’s Chinese-made jets were used in the shootdowns.

Pakistan’s Defense minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, told Reuters on Thursday that the J-10 was used to shoot down three French-made Rafale planes, which were newly acquired by India.

Altogether, Pakistan says it downed five Indian planes in air-to-air combat.

The Rafale and the model of the J-10 used by Pakistan are both considered generation 4.5 fighter jets, placing them at the leading edge of combat aircraft

Nuclear-armed India and Pakistan have fought three major wars, as well as numerous smaller conflicts.

Blasts rang out across the city of Jammu in Indian Kashmir late on Thursday during what Indian military sources said they suspected was a Pakistani drone attack across the region on the second day of clashes between the neighbors.

Pakistan said earlier on Thursday it shot down 25 drones from India overnight, while India said its air defenses had stopped Pakistani drone and missile attacks on military targets.

 
I have restricted all his access and posting privileges - Admin when they are awake can decide if they want to nuke his account or face him to update his flags. People who use false flags are always super creepy. Like men who play women in videogames. :ROFLMAO:
Ban any Indian who steps out of line please, should be zero tolerance at times of war

Definitely the Saudis if the supposed ally is looking to engage Nawaz Sharif directly.

Saudis lack the balls to even defend themselves and want us to follow their example too just cause these bedouins have massive economic interests with India.

Jet manufacturing companies must hire Pakistani pilots as their salesman. Boys are truly legendary.
 
Deep inside Pakistan is over exageration. Near border areas without entering Pak airspace but still losing 5-0.

Which is pivotal moment in history as only Chinese jets were used, especially that Rafale hit. World media is more interested in this then actual conflict.

Now lets see if Pakistan retaliates or not in coming days or weeks.
Tell me when any thing similar incident in last 50 years by either side. Even during siachin conflict or kargil war fighting was local only. India upped the ante by attacking "Pakistan Proper". Drones entered Lahore and Rawalpindi as well. This is as deep as it can be. We have no incentive in attacking Balochistan or KPK.
As I have said many times loss of jets is sad incident for us but it's a price worth paying.

Now for your upcoming response I am waiting !!
 
is it really that hard to add a screenshot
Come on yaar 😊😊
I would but with VPN you can take a break from consuming local hinduvta bullshit and see what is actually going on in the world.
A question though, so the actual pak govt account which was hacked is not banned in India? But the journalist account explaining that the govt account was hacked is blocked?
