China Arms Pakistan With J-35A Stealth Jets: Is India Ready For A Two-Front Missile War?
New Delhi: Pakistan's airpower ambitions are drawing global attention. Much like Iran's aggressive missile capabilities that recently rattled Israel, Islamabad is steadily enhancing its arsenal. And with Chinese support, its edge may soon sharpen further. Pakistan already fields a mix of Shaheen, Abdali, Ghaznavi, Ghauri and the long-range Shaheen-3 ballistic missiles – some capable of reaching targets over 2,500 kilometeres away. Now, Beijing is preparing to transfer its fifth-generation stealth fighter, the J-35A, to Islamabad. This aircraft's radar-evading profile, long-range strike capability and networked combat systems could pose new challenges for Indian defense planners. Experts warn that Islamabad could deploy the J-35A to bases in Skardu (Baltistan), Karach or Gwadar. From these forward locations, the aircraft could threaten critical Indian military infrastructure in Jammu, Rajasthan and Gujarat. Paired with Pakistan's Ra'ad-II cruise missiles, the J-35A would gain standoff attack capability – the ability to strike deep into Indian territory without entering contested airspace. The J-35A, based on China's FC-31 'Gyrfalcon', is a twin-engine, single-seat stealth fighter with a combat range of approximately 1,200 kilometres. It is expected to carry advanced Beyond Visual Range (BVR) missiles like the PL-15 or PL-17, offering strike radii of 200 to 300 kilometres. Its integration with drones, AWACS, and ground-based radars gives it a multi-domain warfare profile. If Pakistan acquires 30-40 units by 2028 as anticipated, its air force will gain a significant leap in strike and defense capabilities. The threat multiplies when considering a possible dual-front scenario. The J-35A's deployment alongside China's J-20 stealth jets near the LAC could force India into a two-theatre conflict posture. Experts believe that such developments demand urgent upgrades to India's air defense infrastructure. Enter Russia's S-500 'Prometheus' air defense system. A successor to the S-400, the S-500 is designed to counter advanced aerial threats. It can intercept ballistic missiles travelling at speeds of up to Mach 19, neutralise stealth aircraft using low-frequency radar and even take down satellites in low-earth orbit. Key features of the S-500 include: Ballistic Missile Defense: Capable of intercepting hypersonic projectiles at altitudes up to 200 km and ranges up to 600 km. Anti-Stealth Detection: The 91N6A(M) and 77N6-N/N1 interceptor missiles can track low-RCS targets like the J-35A at distances beyond 400 km. Anti-Satellite Capability: Can disable satellites used for ISR and missile guidance, disrupting networks that Pakistan might rely on. Multi-Target Engagement: Able to engage over ten aerial and ballistic targets simultaneously. Mobility: High-wheel platforms allow rapid deployment along both LoC and LAC. In May, during the peak of cross-border skirmishes, the S-400 showcased its prowess by downing a Pakistani AWACS 314 km inside enemy airspace. With the S-500, India could extend this coverage and neutralise threats before they even cross the border. India already possesses five regiments of the S-400. By supplementing them with 2-3 S-500 units, New Delhi can create an interlinked air defense grid. This could secure critical urban centres like Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, as well as forward airbases and strategic installations. S-500 vs J-35A: Why India Needs It The S-500's radar and AI tracking system are designed to expose and lock onto stealth aircraft like the J-35A. Its multi-target engagement makes coordinated attacks using drones or AWACS less effective. It can intercept cruise and hypersonic missiles before they reach Indian airspace. Its satellite interception capacity threatens the ISR systems guiding Pakistani and Chinese operations. Military analysts caution that if India delays integrating the S-500 into its Integrated Air Defence Command (IADC), it risks falling behind. Pakistan's acquisition of the J-35A would tilt the balance. But if India acts decisively, it could nullify threats from both Islamabad and Beijing with a single system. The next few years may well determine whether India can stay ahead in an increasingly contested airspace.

India's digital economy is primed for significant expansion: Bessemer
India's digital economy is primed for significant expansion, according to a new report released by the India practice of Bessemer Venture Partners. Titled 'Click, Watch, Shop: The Consumer Opportunity in India,' the report outlines how a convergence of technological advances, demographic shifts, and favourable policy developments over the past decade has unlocked what Bessemer estimates to be a $1 trillion digital opportunity. The venture firm points to a 'tailwind trifecta'— rapid internet penetration, a young and tech-savvy population, and supportive government reforms — as key enablers of a new generation of consumer-focused startups. Companies such as Swiggy, Urban Company, Boldfit and Vetic have ridden this wave. They are capitalising on India's growing appetite for on-demand services, health and wellness products, and personalised digital experiences. Looking ahead, Bessemer identifies the continued evolution of online marketplaces, the rise of local content platforms, and shifting consumer aspirations as central to the next wave of growth. 'India presents a $1 trillion dollar digital opportunity. The emergence of multiple consumer marketplaces, platforms and new-age brands in the past decade is a testament to the growing aspirations of an emerging India,' said Anant Vidur Puri, Partner at Bessemer. Puri added, 'This makes us exceptionally optimistic about the potential for many more consumer plays to emerge in the coming years.' Quick commerce The report highlighted that India's burgeoning online commerce sector has witnessed an extraordinary expansion in recent years. Starting from a base of $30 billion in 2020, it is expected to reach $300 billion by the end of the decade in 2030, contributing to a $1 trillion dollar digital opportunity. This demonstrates it is no longer a niche phenomenon catering to a small segment but has firmly established itself as a dominant force within the Indian retail landscape for a significant and growing share of the population. In addition, the recent rise of quick commerce (q-commerce) has introduced a new dimension to the online retail ecosystem, further revolutionising the way consumers access goods. Platforms such as BigBasket, Blinkit, Swiggy, and Zepto have spearheaded this movement, demonstrating the viability and consumer appeal of rapid delivery services. This segment is seeing a further trend of verticalised q-commerce emerging, with startups like Snabbit, Swish and Slikk catering to niche needs. Lastly, direct to consumer (D2C) brands are increasingly catering to an aspirational mass-premium audience — an audience characterised by the demand for newer, better priced, higher quality products. Content revolution The report said that India is also experiencing a content revolution driven by consumers' diverse appetites for entertainment, education, and gaming. Characterised by short attention spans and a multitude of accessible platforms across interests, languages, and budgets, user engagement is rapid, facilitated by frictionless microtransactions or autopay-led subscriptions. Platforms are adapting to these shorter attention spans with quick and engaging content. Over the past five years, short-form video platforms in India have witnessed a 3.6 times growth in daily active users, competing with mainstream digital platforms. Moreover, the rise of virtual tipping, UPI autopay and other micro-transactions is expected to reach $1.5 billion by 2029. They exemplify the growth of UPI-enabled microtransactions, which allow companies to experiment with diverse monetisation models beyond just ads. New Lifestyle The modern Indian consumer's choices increasingly prioritise what were previously seen as lifestyle spending. These include previously thought 'non-essential' spending in areas such as physical and mental health, financial wellness, and pet care. This expenditure has moved from being a good-to-have to a must-have for Indian consumers. For instance, there is increased spending on organic food, protein, fitness gadgets, preventive healthcare, and wellness services. Health-focused food and beverages (F&B) as a category has expanded from about 11 per cent to 16 per cent of F&B spend and is expected to continue increasing as brands have been quick to adapt to this trend. Similar trends can be seen in segments such as financial services, for example, personal finance offerings by players such as Groww. The report concludes with the metrics and numbers that Bessemer tracks to evaluate the robustness of a business. These metrics, pertaining to total addressable market (TAM), acquisition, usage and retention are important for founders to track the health of their business.
