Mil, militant French -made Indian Rafael fighter jets and Chinese -made Pakistani jets will examine Mil, militant -made Indian -made Indian jets to take advantage of future battles.

According to two US officials talking to Reuters, a Pakistani fighter plane built in China on Wednesday dropped at least two Indian military aircraft, which potentially identified a major milestone for Beijing’s latest fighter jet.

Air collision is an unusual opportunity for militants to study the performance of pilots, fighter jets and air missiles in the active fighting, and use this knowledge to develop their air forces for war.

Experts said the direct use of modern weapons will be analyzed worldwide, including China and the United States, which are preparing a possible dispute over Taiwan or in the wider Indian Pacific region.

An American official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that it was more confident that Pakistan had used Chinese -made J -10 aircraft to launch air missiles against Indian fighter jets.

Social media posts focus on China’s PL-15 air-to-air missile performance against Alka, a radar guide to the Air to Air missile developed by the European Group MBDA. There has been no official confirmation to use these weapons.

“China, China, the United States and several European countries,” strategies, techniques, procedures, what worked and did not, in China, China, the United States and numerous European countries, said Douglas Barry, a senior colleague of military Aerospace for Strategic Studies. “

“You have China’s most capable weapons against the most capable weapons in the West, if it is really being taken,” said Barry, “We do not know.”

Barry said French and Americans would probably be hoping for similar intelligence from India.

“PL-15 is a major problem,” said a defense industry executive. This is something that the US military focuses on. “

Rafael -producing Dasalt Aviation refused to comment, and the MBDA consortium could not be immediately reached to comment on the French public holiday.

Confined information

Western analysts and industry sources said that the important details are unclear, including whether the alka was picked up and the type and quantity of the pilots received. Arms firms will also be anxious to separate technical performance from operational factors, analysts said.

“It will be audited what works and does not work, but I think the second Overley war is fog,” said Byron Colin, a Managing partner of Washington -based defense expert and Capital Alpha Partners.

He said US arms companies are getting permanent opinion on how their products are working in the war in Ukraine.

“So I expect it to happen to India’s European suppliers, and Pakistan and China are probably sharing the same opinion. If PL-15 is working more than expected or working better, the Chinese would like to hear it.”

An online photo of a seeker featured a missile that had lost its target, a source from the western country’s defense industry operating Alka. There are conflicting reports about whether Pakistan has the domestic version of PL-15 PLAAF, China Air Force, or the low-range export version of the public appearing in 2021.

Barry, which has written widely on the missile, said he believed that most likely Pakistan is an export version.

A Western industry source rejected claims that rocket-powers PL-15 has a longer limit than air-powered alka, but it acknowledged that his ability could be more than “thinking.” Alka’s limit has not been officially published. Industry sources said, “At this time, it is not possible to decide anything. We know very little.”

The PL-15 limit and performance has been the center of Western interest for years. Its appearance was seen as one of the many gestures that China had begun to depend on the Soviet -era -derived technology.

The United States is partially developing AIM-260 jointly modern tactical missiles through Lockheed Martin in response to the PL-15 and beyond range performance.

European countries are looking for a middle life upgrade for Alka, which expert Jeans says, adding that it may include additional and guidance, but analysts say progress has been slow.

US President Donald Trump awarded Boeing in March so far the US Air Force’s most sophisticated fighter jet, which will potentially include stealth, advance sensors and modern engines.
