Pakistan will receive 25 J-10C fighters from China and the aircraft will be displayed in a military parade on Pakistan Day (March 23), according to a report.
The J-10C is an export variant of the Chinese J-10 fighter.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Rasheed confirmed that the J-10C jets had arrived in Pakistan and would fly at the March 23 parade.
“We have the J-10C… God willing, a time will come… I am not sure when, the J-20C will also come to Pakistan, which will be the most modern aircraft in the world…”
Rasheed did not give more details. He appeared to be referring to a variant of China’s J-20 stealth fighter.
The J-20 is considered a long-range aircraft capable of both destroying enemy aircraft and attacking targets on the surface.
