Imran Khan gave a message to the world after receiving the first consignment
In the month of March, when the first consignment of fighter jets was received from China, at that time Imran Khan’s government was running in Pakistan. After receiving the consignment of J-10C planes, the then Prime Minister Imran Khan had said that now any country will have to think twice before attacking Pakistan.

What is the difference between India’s fighter Rafale and Pakistan’s J-10C
India’s Rafale and Pakistan’s J-10C aircraft, both fighter jets are of 4.5 generation. Where Rafale has the capability of high range missile in which the world’s most dangerous Mica and IIR Imaging Infrared Missile can be loaded. So the J-10C given to Pakistan has lower range missile capability, in which only missiles like PL-8/9 can be loaded.
The biggest difference between Pakistan’s J-10C aircraft and India’s Rafale is definitely experience. In fact, Rafale has been used in combat operations in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya and Mali, while this experience is not available with the J-10C.
On the other hand, the firepower of Rafale is more, while the firepower of J-10C is less. Another feature of Rafale is that nuclear missiles can also be fired from it, whereas J-10C does not have this feature.
