Pakistan's recent conflict with India saw the deployment of Chinese-made J-10C fighter jets. These jets, described as the "fighter of national pride," were used alongside Chinese missiles. The successful use of the J-10C in combat has been touted by Chinese media as evidence of its effectiveness, particularly against Taiwan, which China claims as its territory. Commentators in China now assert that Taiwan's military would be outmatched by the J-10C.
