Chinese state media claims the Chengdu J-10CE defeated the Eurofighter Typhoon in a 9-0 score during mock air combat exercises in 2024.
The report says the J-10CE won all nine simulated engagements. These included close-range dogfights and beyond-visual-range combat.
Limited Details on the Exercise
The broadcaster did not release full details of the drills. It also did not name the countries involved.
Some reports in Pakistan link the exercise to a joint drill held in Qatar in January 2024.
Background of Both Fighter Jets
The J-10CE is the export version of China’s J-10C. It uses modern radar and advanced air-to-air missiles.
The Eurofighter Typhoon is a European multirole fighter. Several air forces, including Qatar, operate it.
Market and Strategic Impact
Analysts say the claim could boost the J-10CE’s image in export markets. It may also increase competition in the global fighter jet industry.
