MILITARYSep 14China’s J-10CE has foreign buyers, but not yet a marketUzbekistan’s recent confirmation that China’s J-10CE fighters have entered into service in its air force ended months of speculation. It is the latest of three developments that include Pakistan’s use of J-10CEs in combat last year and Bangladesh’s draft procurement paper for the Chinese aircraft. Read separately, each looks like a win for the J-10CE. Taken together, however, they show something narrower: the Chinese aircraft is gaining export traction without yet winning a clean contest against...South China Morning Post

MILITARYSep 11From Pakistan to Uzbekistan: how China’s J-10CE is widening its overseas reachBattle-testing modern weapon systems can come at a steep price: a country must send its forces to war. But for China’s 4.5-generation J-10CE fighter aircraft, exports have opened another route. Pakistan provided the aircraft’s first major combat test during its four-day conflict with India in May 2025, when Islamabad’s J-10CEs were used in an air battle. Two US officials told Reuters that at least two Indian aircraft were downed, including a French-built Rafale – though the precise losses,...South China Morning Post

Recently, the US announced that six fast-response cutters that had been based in the Middle East for more than 20 years...South China Morning Post
