There is currently a huge stir in the global defense market and strategic corridors, which has completely shaken the traditional defense equations. China’s defense industry and its military diplomacy have always been in the news regarding the export of its weapons, but this time the matter is different and very sensational. China has started the delivery of its state-of-the-art and lethal J-10CE fighter planes to India, a very close and close Muslim friendly country. As soon as the news of the departure of the first fleet of these modern fighter jets from Beijing came before the world, the rulers of Islamabad i.e. Pakistan have lost their sleep. Pakistan, which till now considered itself the most exclusive and only foreign buyer of these Chinese aircraft, is now deeply afraid of the leakage of its biggest and sensitive military secrets. Defense experts believe that this development may see a major change in the geopolitical balance of South Asia and West Asia.
Features of J-10CE fighter planes and the significance of this new defense deal
The J-10CE manufactured by China is a 4.5 generation multi-role fighter jet, which is equipped with advanced avionics, powerful radar system and dangerous Beyond Visual Range (BVR) missiles. Till some time ago, Pakistan had purchased a large consignment of these aircraft from China to strengthen its Air Force. Islamabad considered it a great symbol of its strategic strength and claimed to keep the technical specifications, software code and operating system of these aircraft completely confidential. But now when China has started selling its deadly fighter jet to another close and friendly Islamic country of India, deep lines of worry have been drawn on the forehead of the Pakistani military leadership. They are deeply afraid that by coming in contact with other countries, all the secret strategic codes, electronic warfare capabilities and radar signatures of these Chinese aircraft may be exposed to the world.
Pakistan’s growing restlessness and the game of Dragon’s double character
International affairs experts say that for China, diplomacy only means increasing its arms business, even if the security concerns of its old loyal friend are at stake. Pakistan has been completely dependent on Beijing economically and militarily for a long time, but China, giving priority to its economic profits, has started selling these weapons to other countries also. This situation has put Pakistan in a very uncomfortable situation diplomatically. On the one hand, it cannot speak openly against China, because its entire economy and defense system rests on its shoulders, and on the other hand, it is internally worried that if the technology of these aircraft reaches other countries, its own air strategic advantage will be reduced.
What is the significance of this new defense deal from India’s strategic point of view?
India’s strategic and defense analysts are keeping a very close watch on this entire incident. India’s defense and diplomatic relations with its friendly countries are continuously strengthening, and many countries of the world now want to maintain a balance with India. If China’s fighter jets are reaching countries which have very close and friendly relations with India, then it can prove to be a great opportunity for Indian defense agencies for technical analysis and intelligence study. India has already strengthened its position greatly on the basis of its indigenous defense manufacturing capability i.e. ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and fighter aircraft like Tejas. In such a situation, Pakistan’s increasing uneasiness over this arms deal between China and its allies clearly shows that the neighboring country is going through a phase of internal and strategic insecurity, which is sure to impact its foreign policy in the future.
