O tem letalskem obračunu pred dvema tednoma sta tako indijska vlada kot francoski dobavitelj bojnih letal Rafale raje čim bolj tiho (da se jim ne zgodijo odpovedi pogodb, kot je ta indonezijska (glejte spodaj). Prva je po zračnem porazu pristala na premirje, drugi pa čakajo, da sramotni poraz izgine v pozabo in da ne prizadene reputacije njihovih letal. Toda obračun je pokazal na gromozanske razlike med kitajskimi in francoskimi bojnimi letali. Ne toliko v tehniki, kot predvsem v sistemski (integrirani) uporabi letal.
China didn’t just sell Pakistan jets. It handed them a smart warfighting package.
Think of it like this:
India bought a DSLR (Rafale) – but needed to learn the manual, tweak the lens, and pick the right filter.
Pakistan got a smart camera (J-10C) – auto-calibrated, data-linked, pre-configured with real-time support from Chinese satellites and air defense.
One was a product.
The other was a system.
That’s why Pakistan outperformed India despite the paper specs. The jet didn’t fly alone – it flew with China’s entire kill-chain behind it.
Now even India’s Ministry of Defence admits it:
- You’re not just fighting Pakistan.
- You’re fighting China’s ecosystem.
And ecosystems don’t crash as easily as press releases.
