Asserting that the made in India light combat aircraft Tejas is far better and advanced than the Chinese-Pakistani JF-17 fighter jets, Air Force chief RKS Bhadauria on Thursday said the latest Indian jet would be better equipped to carry out Balakot-type airstrikes.
The Air Chief said the 83 indigenous fighter jets to be inducted into the force would also be equipped with homegrown weapons such as the Astra beyond visual range air to air missiles and other standoff weapons.
"Indian aircraft Tejas is far better and advanced than the Chinese and Pakistan joint venture JF-17 fighter," Bhadauria said when asked to compare the Indian fighter with the JF-17.
Pakistani airstrikes on December 24 targeted villages in Afghanistan’s Paktika province, killing at least 15, including women and children. The Taliban condemned the attacks, vowing retaliation, while Pakistan alleged targeting militant hideouts. Tensions between the nations escalate as civilians bear the brunt of the ongoing conflict.

Pakistan is planning to acquire 40 advanced Chinese J-35 stealth fighter jets, marking China's first export of fifth-generation aircraft. The deal aims to replace Pakistan's aging fleet of F-16s and Mirage fighters, enhancing its air defense capabilities. This acquisition, expected to be delivered within two years, could significantly alter regional dynamics, particularly with India. Despite economic challenges, Pakistan moves forward with this high-tech upgrade, which could escalate tensions in the region.
