What’s the secret of going to China to participate in military exercises?

What’s the mystery behind Pakistan sending its “strongest lineup” to China to participate in military exercises?

Answer: What do you think this ace unit, which has repeatedly defeated the Indian Army, is here for? !

On June 18 this year, the Indian border troops illegally crossed into China to obstruct China’s road construction activities and have been doing so for a month and a half. From the early morning of August 3rd to 4th, six major authoritative agencies, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense, issued intensive statements on India’s cross-border incidents, urging India not to go all the way.

Huanhuan (ID: huanqiu-com) discovered that just as China was gradually escalating its propaganda against India, China’s close ally Pakistan was about to make a big move and announced that it would send the “strongest lineup in history” to the Within China...

Pakistan Air Force will send elite troops Heading to China to participate in the 6th China-Pakistan Joint Air Force Exercise, Pakistani General Ahmed Bilal said that the air force exercise will be codenamed "Shaheen 6" and the Pakistan Air Force will send 19 aircraft of various types.

The "Eagle" series of exercises are regular annual military exercises between the Chinese and Pakistani air forces and are held alternately in China and Pakistan. It is said that this time Pakistan has set a record for sending the largest number of fighter jets to a foreign country to participate in joint exercises. It is expected that the "Fierce Dragon" fighter jets jointly developed by China and Pakistan will become the backbone of the force, and the ZDK-03 "Karakoram" early warning aircraft sold by China may also accompany it.

Against the current tense situation on the Sino-Indian border, this time the "strongest lineup" of the Pakistan Air Force went to China and the People's Liberation Army "Exercise training" undoubtedly has a special meaning.

Huanhuan (ID: huanqiu-com) found that although most of the main equipment of the Pakistan Air Force is provided by China and there are no stealth fighters like the J-20, the strength of the Pakistan Air Force cannot be underestimated. The Pakistan Air Force has a glorious combat history and has been active on the front line of the struggle against India. It is known as the "elite of the elite" of the Pakistani army and has performed very well in previous conflicts between India and Pakistan.

According to reports, during the second India-Pakistan War in 1965, the Pakistan Air Force achieved an impressive record of 8:54 (the Pakistan Air Force destroyed 54 Indian aircraft and lost 8 of its own). The victory over the Indian Air Force even made Indian Air Force pilots afraid to engage in head-on combat. In the Siachen Glacier conflict in 1999, the Pakistan Air Force used Chinese J-7P fighter jets to fight against Indian third-generation fighter jets such as Su-30 and Mirage-2000. It was guided by ground radar and eventually used flexible fighting to make the opponent drop the bomb and run away. ?

Although the equipment is not as advanced as the Indian Air Force, the Pakistani Air Force’s tactical literacy is stronger than that of India. The Pakistan Air Force has long received Western training and regularly competes with Turkey, The United States and other NATO countries conduct joint exercises. Compared with the Chinese Air Force, the Pakistan Air Force introduced the concept of "free air combat" very early, which has greatly benefited the People's Liberation Army, which has less contact with Western air forces.

In addition, an important subject of the China-Pakistan Air Force exercise is "air combat with different aircraft types." Through the confrontation between different types of fighter aircraft, pilots can broaden their horizons and change their inherent combat concepts. Take the "Eagle" series of exercises as an example. The Pakistan Air Force used the Su-30 fighters equipped by the People's Liberation Army to learn about the performance of similar models of the Indian Air Force, while the Chinese Air Force took the opportunity to become familiar with the tactics of the NATO Air Force. It can be said to be a win-win move.

Military observers say that the Pakistan Air Force has rich experience in combating India. It has conducted actual combat confrontations with the Indian Air Force many times in recent years and can be said to be the force that best understands the details of the Indian Air Force.

As we all know, India’s national strength is far greater than that of Pakistan, and its equipped fighter aircraft such as Su-30MKI, MiG-29, and Mirage-2000 are also better than those of the Pakistan Air Force. However, the Pakistan Air Force has repeatedly staged classic battles of "the weak defeats the strong". This fully demonstrates the Pakistan Air Force’s superb tactical literacy and its strong confidence in the Indian Air Force. This time, the Pakistan Air Force sent a large number of fighter jets to China to compete with the People's Liberation Army, which will undoubtedly benefit the Chinese Air Force and improve its combat capabilities against specific opponents.
