Pakistan Will Buy Chinese 5th Generation J-20 Fighter Jets , Says Minister

After Launching the J-10C, Pakistan is looking for China's 5th Generation J-20C fighter Jets to make its defence system more stronger. Addressing a press conference on Monday, Rashid confirmed that J-10C jets had arrived in Pakistan and would fly in the March 23 parade.

“We now have J-10C and Inshallah soon Pakistan will have J-20C too, which will be the most advanced aircraft in the world”

Rasheed did not provide further details. He was seen referring to a variety of Chinese J-20 stealth fighters.

The J-20 first flew in 2011 and is the only stealth fighter to serve with the Chinese Air Force. Over the past decade, there have been claims that Pakistan could be a potential buyer of the J-31 stealth fighter jet that China is developing.

The J-20 is large in size and is thought to be capable of carrying more range and weapons than the J-31 fighter jet, which is yet to enter service.

The J-20 is considered a long-range fighter capable of destroying enemy aircraft and attacking surface targets.

Interestingly, Rasheed’s claims come just weeks after Pakistani and Turkish officials signaled their support for the development of a stealth fighter.
