About This Trend
J-10C is a single-engine, multirole fighter developed by China's Chengdu Aerospace Corporation. It boasts a higher maximum speed and service ceiling, making it suitable for interception roles.
The J-10C is trending due to recent claims by Pakistan's Foreign Minister that it has been used to down several Indian fighter jets, including Rafales, in a clash between the two countries, with reports suggesting the use of PL-15 long-range air-to-air missiles.
