Pakistan Might Acquire J-35A and HQ-19 ABM from China TurDef
Pakistan has officially confirmed a major package of air force equipment offer from China, including J-35A fighters and HQ-19 ABMs following Chinese J-10C aircraft’s PL-15E air-to-air missile success.
The statement regarding the large-scale offer from China was released on the official X account of the Government of Pakistan.
China’s offer includes 40 J-35A fighters, KJ-500 AEW&C, and HQ-19 anti-ballistic missile (ABM) systems. Other than the military offer, Chinese technology firm Huawei will provide training to 100000 Pakistanis on AI.
China’s offer to Pakistan can be regarded as something stemming from the encouragement of the role of its equipment in the air victory against India during the recent conflict. A Chinese-made PL-15E air-to-air missile was used to shoot down an Indian Rafale fighter developed by France.
Pakistani Air Force makes extensive use of Chinese fighter jets and munitions. The fighter jets include a J-10C single-engine fighter and the co-developed CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder as a lighter option. These fighters also use the PL-15E WVRAAM (JF-17 Block 3 and J-10C), using a dual-pulse rocket engine and AESA seeker.
