Reuters Shares of Chinese defence firms surged Monday (June 9) after Pakistan announced plans to purchase a fleet of advanced Chinese-made fighter jets, a move that could mark China's first export of its fifth-generation stealth aircraft. AVIC Shenyang Aircraft Company, the manufacturer of the J-35 stealth fighter jet, hit its 10 per cent daily trading limit in Shanghai, building on a three-day rally.

Pakistan government's signalling Pakistan's government said Friday (June 6) on social media that it intends to acquire 40 J-35 fighters, KJ-500 airborne early warning and control aircraft, and HQ-19 ballistic missile defence systems. The J-35, which is claimed to feature advanced stealth capabilities, was developed by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and was first unveiled publicly at the 2024 Zhuhai Airshow. If finalised, the deal would mark the first known foreign sale of the aircraft. Tensions between Pakistan and India remain high following clashes in early May that involved air, drone and missile strikes, along with artillery and small arms fire. In a May 31 interview, India's Chief of Defence Staff Anil Chauhan confirmed India had lost fighter jets during the conflict, though he did not provide details. Last month, Pakistan claimed that Chinese-made J-10C fighters helped shoot down six Indian jets, including French-built Rafales. India has denied the effectiveness of the weapons systems used by Pakistan, saying its forces successfully carried out retaliatory strikes deep inside Pakistani territory. The reported deal also comes amid growing interest in Chinese military hardware in Southeast Asia. Indonesia is considering a Chinese offer of J-10 jets after traditionally relying on aircraft from the United States, Russia and other suppliers. China's defence industry has continued to advance despite domestic corruption scandals. In December, Beijing launched its first next-generation amphibious assault ships, which analysts say are the largest of their kind. Last year, a video purportedly showing a test flight of a sixth-generation Chinese fighter jet went viral online, prompting another wave of gains in defence stocks. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

China's defence stocks jump up to 10% led by AVIC Shenyang as Pakistan announces arms purchase

Shares of Chinese defense companies rallied on Monday after Pakistan said that it intends to buy one of the Asian power's most-advanced fighter jets as a part of major arms purchase. Among the top gainers was AVIC Shenyang Aircraft Company, whose stock surged over 10% following Pakistan's announcement that it plans to buy J-35 stealth fighter jet from the Chinese company. Touted as one of the country's most-advanced fighter jets, the deal is seen as a part of major arms purchase by India's western neighbour. On Friday, the government of Pakistan in a social media post said that it would acquire 40 J-35 fifth-generation fighter jets, KJ-500 airborne early warning and control aircraft, as well as HQ-19 ballistic missile defense systems. Shares of AVIC Shenyang Aircraft have remained unbeaten for the past three trading sessions, Today's rally has extended stocks gains to 13% in the past five sessions. While it is a month since the ceasefire between India and Pakistan was implemented, AVIC Shenyang Aircraft shares have jumped 18% in this period.

The fighter was developed by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and publicly unveiled at the 2024 Zhuhai Airshow, it added. The KJ-500 aircraft would improve Pakistan's radar coverage and its smaller size allows for nimbler use in regional clashes. The HQ-19 surface-to-air missile systems would enhance the country's ability to intercept ballistic missiles. The deal comes amid persisting tensions between Pakistan and India. The nuclear-armed neighbors clashed several weeks ago, with both sides trading air, drone and missile strikes, as well as artillery and small arms fire along their shared border in early May.

Chinese defence stocks surge as Pakistan buys J-35 stealth jets

Listen to article Shares of Chinese defence firms jumped Monday after reports of Pakistan's plans to purchase advanced J-35 stealth fighter jets from China, according to a Bloomberg report. AVIC Shenyang Aircraft Co., the J-35's manufacturer, hit its 10% daily limit in Shanghai trading, extending gains for a third straight session. Aerospace Nanhu Electronic Information Technology Co. also saw a surge, rising as much as 15%. The rally followed a formal statement on social media from Pakistan confirming its intent to acquire the jets, after weeks of unofficial reports. Pakistani officials had earlier indicated that pilots were already in China undergoing training ahead of expected deliveries. J-35 fighter jet offers stealth, long-range, and deep-strike capabilities China's J-35A fifth-generation fighter jet, soon to be delivered to Pakistan, features stealth technology, advanced sensors, and deep-strike capabilities that could significantly boost Pakistan's air power, according to defence analyst Brandon J. Weichert. Developed by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, the J-35A is China's second fifth-gen aircraft after the Chengdu J-20. It is equipped with an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, electro-optical targeting systems, and advanced avionics to enhance situational awareness and targeting precision. Designed to evade detection, the aircraft's stealth profile reduces its radar cross-section. It is compatible with long-range PL-15 and PL-17 air-to-air missiles, offering a major advantage in beyond-visual-range combat. Powered by Russian RD-93 or Chinese WS-19 turbofan engines, the J-35A can reach speeds of up to 1,367 mph. Deliveries to Pakistan could begin by August, with pilots already undergoing training in China. The jet is expected to replace Pakistan's aging fleet of F-16s and Mirages. Weichert notes that the J-35A's capabilities will enable Pakistan to better counter Indian air defences and conduct deep-strike missions, potentially shifting the regional aerial balance.

Chinese defense companies soar as Pakistan touts arms purchase

Shares of Chinese defense companies rallied Monday, after Pakistan said it intends to buy one of the Asian power's most-advanced fighter jets as a part of major arms purchase. Shares of AVIC Shenyang Aircraft Company — the maker of China's J-35 stealth fighter jet, which is the centerpiece of the package — soared by their 10% daily limit in Shanghai, extending gains for the third consecutive session. The stock led a rally across other defense names such as Aerospace Nanhu Electronic Information Technology Co., whose shares jumped as much as 15%. Bloomberg The government of Pakistan said in a social media post on Friday that it would acquire 40 J-35 fifth-generation fighter jets, KJ-500 airborne early warning and control aircraft, as well as HQ-19 ballistic missile defense systems. China's Ministry of Defense didn't respond to a request for comment.
