China¡¯s 5th Gen Fighter Won¡¯t Help Pakistan Match India¡¯s Air Superiority

Pakistan is set to acquire 40 Chinese J-35A stealth fighter jets, marking China¡¯s first transfer of fifth-generation aircraft to a foreign ally. The move comes after India¡¯s Operation Sindoor, where the Indian Air Force (IAF) successfully neutralized Pakistani air defenses, striking key air bases and terror infrastructure. With Pakistan¡¯s JF-17 and J-10C struggling against India¡¯s Su-30MKI, Rafale, and upcoming AMCA stealth fighter, the country is rushing to upgrade its fleet. But will the J-35A be enough to challenge India¡¯s air dominance? Experts argue that India¡¯s superior pilot training, advanced missile systems, and multi-layered air defense network will continue to dominate the region, making Pakistan¡¯s J-35A acquisition insufficient to shift the balance of power.

India is making major strides in air defense and military exports, with Russia proposing joint production of the S-500 air defense system.

On the night of May 8¨C9, as Pakistan launched a wave of coordinated drone and missile attacks across India¡¯s western border, the Indian Armed Forces responded with unmatched speed and precision. Over 50 drones were shot down across key military zones including Jammu, Udhampur, Samba, Akhnoor, Nagrota, and Pathankot. At the heart of this defensive success was the Pechora missile system¡ªa Soviet-origin surface-to-air missile platform known for its lethal accuracy. Integrated with the 4R90 Yatagan radar, the Pechora can detect and neutralize targets mid-air, even under intense electronic jamming. With a kill probability of 92% and target engagement capability at up to 35 km range and 25 km altitude, it proved indispensable during this high-tempo engagement. Despite the induction of newer systems like the Akash NG, MRSAM, and S-400 ¡®Sudarshan Chakra,¡¯ Pechora remains a trusted asset in India¡¯s layered air defence grid.
