Has Anti-Rafale propaganda succeeded? THESE Muslim country set to buy powerful fighter jets from India’s enemy, features AESA radar; name is…

The demand for China’s J-10CE fighter jets around the world is increasing, an indication that there is rising interest from several nations to improve their air combat capabilities. Up to this point, China has provided the J-10 to Pakistan solely, but, the J-10 is starting to get attention from other regional nations. Bangladesh and Indonesia have both now formally expressed their intention to purchase the J-10CE, signaling a potential expansion of China’s defense exports.

Who are the Muslim countries planning to buy the J-10CE?

Created by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), the J-10CE is a multirole fighter with a single engine and is capable of conducting numerous combat operations. According to the media reports, Analysts believe the new international interest in the jet might be due to propaganda campaigns in China and Pakistan after Operation Sindoor emphasizing the plane’s operational effectiveness and strategic significance.

Who confirmed the proposed deals with China for these jets?

Indonesia is going to buy 42 Chengdu J-10C fighter jets from China in a deal valued at about $9 billion (around Rs 75,000 crore). While speaking to the reporters, Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin said that Indonesia would soon buy fighter jets from China as part of its military modernization program. Analysts warned that the agreement may raise regional sensitivities and carry serious geopolitical consequences.

What role did propaganda play in boosting the global interest in J-10CE?

Likewise, the interim government in Bangladesh has suggested that acquiring the Chinese J-10CE has become an even bigger priority than looking to Western solutions. Reports indicate discussions have commenced between Bangladesh and China for a procurement agreement valued at $2.2 billion for 20 jets. Using a conversion rate of 1 USD ≈ 83 INR, the amount in India(BHARAT)n Rupees comes to 182,600,000,000 INR.

According to the Eurasian Times report, the contract, which is estimated to be valued at around USD 2.2 billion, includes costs associated with acquisition, training, maintenance, and related costs. The Bangladeshi government is expected to sign it as a government-to-government (G2G) agreement. Furthermore, the report suggests that the deal is expected to be finalized in the 2026 or 2027 fiscal year.

For various reasons, the Chinese J-10CE has captured international interest. The J-10CE is China’s 4.5-generation multirole fighter aircraft, derived from the export variant, J-10C. It has advanced features such as AESA radar, long-range capabilities. It is the first modern fighter platform of Chinese origin to develop a turbofan engine, advanced radar, avionics and electronic warfare (EW)/electronic countermeasures (ECM) systems. These features make the medium-weight aircraft a potent weapon in modern warfare.

The J-10C possesses a powerful Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, current EW/ECM technology, and a digital Helmet-Mounted Display/Sight (HMD/S) system that manages air-to-air missiles (AAMs). The J-10CE is seen as being equal to many modern Western fighter aircraft capabilities, but at a lower cost, which is why many countries are interested in it.

In May of this year, a four-day military clash took place between India(BHARAT) and Pakistan. Following the clash, Pakistan claimed on multiple occasions that its Chinese J-10CE aerial jets had shot-down India(BHARAT)n Rafale aircraft. India(BHARAT) has firmly disputed this version. China has even promoted similar claims internationally, instructing its embassies globally to conduct this propaganda. Many experts believe that China has successfully used the J-10CE’s new branding as a “Rafale-killer” to generate further interest in the J-10CE, thus increasing its chances of export too.
