China showcased its J-10C fighter jet at the Singapore Airshow this week, aiming to increase arms sales in Southeast Asia. Seven J-10C jets, accompanied by a Y-20A refuelling tanker, arrived last Wednesday and performed aerobatic displays. The J-10C, a 4.5-generation, single-engine, multi-role combat aircraft developed by Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, features an advanced engine, AESA radar, and PL-10 and PL-15 air-to-air missiles. The J-10C gained prominence after reports alleged its use by the Pakistan Air Force to shoot down an Indian Rafale fighter during a border conflict last May. Earlier J-10 models were displayed at the 2020 Singapore Airshow.
