The Sacred Country PAKISTAN has recently acquired the two batches of the State of the Art, Hi-Tech and lethal J-10C 4.5++ Gen Omni Role Stealth Fighter Jets from its all Weather Ally and Iron Brother CHINA as a potential counterpunch and antidote against the indian rafale jets.
The J-10C 4.5++ Gen Omni Role Stealth Fighter Jet is a cutting-edge and hi-tech stealth fighter jet of 4.5 – 5th Generation Fighter that is capable of simultaneously undertaking the ground and aerial warfare operations.
The J-10C 4.5 Gen Omni Role Stealth Fighter Jet is equipped with the large sized Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar that is fully capable of tracking multiple aerial and ground targets in the hybrid complex warfare scenario.
The J-10C 4.5++ Gen Omni Role Fighter Jet is fully integrated and armed with the CHINESE PL-5, PL-10 and PL-15 Long Range Air to Air Missile that is capable to hunt down enemy aircraft from a considerable distance of up to 200-300 Kilometers in total.
