This country is big fan of China's J-10 fighter jet may ditch Rafale to buy this machine
This country is big fan of China's J-10 fighter jet may ditch Rafale to buy this machine Jakarta: During the faceoff between India and Pakistan last month, Islamabad attacked Indian Rafale fighter jets with J-10C, launching PL-15 missiles from the Made-in-China jets. Now, Indonesia, which is the world's largest Muslim country, has shown interest in buying the J-10 fighter jet from the Dragon. Indonesia's Deputy Defence Minister, retired Air Marshal Doni Irmawan Taufanto, recently stated that the country's officials have reached out to China regarding the J-10. Beijing has not only offered the fighter jet but also proposed to give ships, frigates, and weaponry. This move by Indonesia is going to be a big blow to the United States, which wanted to sell the Muslim country its F-15EX fighter jet. Notably, Jakarta has also bought Rafale jets from France before this. China's J-10C Is Cheaper Than US's F-15X Indonesia stated that the Dragon's J-10C is cheaper than other countries' fighter jets and is loaded with ultra-modern capabilities. The Indonesian minister was referring to F-15. It is worth mentioning that, in recent years, Jakarta has accelerated modernising its weapons arsenal, which had become very old. In 2022, the country purchased as many as 42 Rafale fighter jets from France. The entire deal is worth USD8 billion. Out of 42 jets, Indonesia will get 6 fighter jets next year. Air Marshal Taufanto said, 'We have talked to China and they have offered a lot. This includes not only J-10 but also ships, weapons and warships. We are testing the J-10 aircraft'. China's Growing Threat In India's Neighbourhood Indonesian officials are reviewing the J-10 fighter jet, considering its capabilities, cost, and after-sales service. While negotiations have been ongoing for a year, recent combat use has increased its priority. Simultaneously, Indonesia continues discussions to acquire the American F-15EX, although concerns remain about its USD 8 billion price tag for 24 jets. French President Emmanuel Macron, after meeting the President of Indonesia last week, said that Paris has signed a preliminary defence agreement. Under this, new French weapons, including Rafale, will be supplied. On this, Toufanto said, 'We are considering France's offer. We are also considering our budget. We are reviewing, especially we also have the option of J-10 and F-15.' Following the India-Pakistan air conflict, China is actively promoting its fighter jets globally, employing various incentives to attract buyers. China's marketing campaign includes unsubstantiated claims regarding the J-10C's capabilities. An Indonesian purchase of these jets would significantly expand China's influence in India's regional sphere.
