Iran Fighter Jets Deal: During the conflict with Israel, Russia who openly supported Iran and strongly condemned the US Aurike on nuclear sites along with the Israeli attack, Iran is now preparing a plan to cheat Russia for China. Iran had made a deal for 4.5th generation fighter jet SU-35 from Russia, but now it is planning to buy J-10C of 4.5th generation of China. The same fighter jet is also with Pakistan Air Force.
Iran is currently in dire need of updated fighter jets. Recently he also faced an Israeli attack, which uses magnificent fighter jets like F-16 and F-35, while Iran’s Air Force still depends on old fighter jets like F-4 Phantom and Mig-29. Many of them are more than 50 years old. That is why Iran wants it to get 4.5th generation fighter jets as soon as possible.
Why does Iran want to buy J-10 instead of SU-35?
According to the Defense Security Asia website, although Iran wanted to buy Russian SU-35 and also made a deal for it, but after its delay in delivery, Iran is now getting towards J-10C of China. Iran’s military officials believe that Israel can attack Iran anytime, so we should have updated fighter jets as soon as possible.
Which fighter jet better in J-10C and SU-35?
Although both Chinese J-10C and Russian SU-35 are updated fighter jets, but J-10C is a medium weight, single-engine jet, while SU-35 is a heavy and two engine aircraft. If you talk about radar, then the J-10C has AESA radar, which is better than the radar of SU-35. While J-10C has PL-10 and PL-15 missiles, SU-35 has dangerous R-74 and R-77-1 missiles deployed in SU-35. Apart from this, the most special thing about the most SU-35 is that more payload capacity and engine power in SU-35 is much better than J-10C.
J-10C is compared to American F-16
J-10C was included in its fleet by the PLA of China in 2006. By 2025, China has about 220 J-10C fighter jets. This fighter jet is often compared to the US F-16 fighter jet. If Iran formally makes the J-10C deal then it will be a big change for the defense market and it will prove to be a big shock for Russia.
