Well, technically Pakistan shot a Indian Rafale with a Chinese made missile a few months ago, which created some consternation in France. I heard the French explaining it away, as India trying to bomb some Pakistani territory without hitting the Pakistani military, hence putting their jet fighters in unecessary harm's way. I am not qualified to draw my own conclusions on the quality of Chinese weapons but it seems to imply they can certainly do significant damage.
- slaw 1y agoRafale was shot down by J-10 plane using PL-15 missile. Rafale, Eurofighter and J-10 are old 20+ years designs. Europe has nothing equivalent to Chinese J-35 or even previous generation J-20. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenyang_J-35 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenyang_J-35

- LargoLasskhyfv 1y agoAccording to Wikipedia: 8+, so more than eight?
- mcphage 1y agoThat’s… not really very many.
