The new Xiaolong is equipped to Pakistan. The Indian media was dissatisfied, claiming that these parts are for civilian use, and the low price is not the opponent of the gust! According to a report on the Indian Defense Research website on January 5, Indian military experts sneered at the 14 upgraded "Fierce Dragon" fighters that Pakistan had just equipped, claiming that these fighters were of poor quality and many parts were for civilian use, so they were not Indian Rafales at all. "The fighter's opponent. After completing the installation of all new "Fierce Dragon" fighters, Pakistan's air combat capability has been greatly improved, and it is fully capable of responding to the Indian Air Force. In particular, Pakistan has also ordered J-10c fighter jets. The dominant position of Indian fighter jets in the border area of Kashmir will no longer exist in the future. Faced with such a situation, the Indian people expressed concern. In response to public concerns, the Indian military and the media responded, accusing Xiaolong's performance as insufficient.
Indian media pointed out that Pakistan has just installed the Fierce Dragon fighter at a price of no more than 35 million U.S. dollars, while the Indian Rafale fighter cost nearly 300 million U.S. dollars. This low-cost fighter is not an opponent of the Indian Army Rafale at all. Then the print media pointed out that in order to save costs, the Pakistan Dragon fighter uses the hinge technology used in traditional fighters. The relevant parts are very similar to those of civilian hardware stores and are not smooth. Indian media pointed out that, compared with the Fierce Dragon used by Pakistan, the Rafale fighter jet purchased by the Indian army uses smooth hinge technology, and the entire fighter jet seems very modern. Indian media believe that the craftsmanship and cost of Xiaolong obviously cannot be compared with the Rafale fighter of the Indian army.
Obviously, the Indian media is not satisfied with the Xiaolong fighter, thinking that many of its parts are civilian products. In fact, Xiaolong upgrades to use a new radar and weapon system, and it is no problem to compete with the Indian Rafale fighter. The Rafale fighter jets purchased by the Indian army are very expensive, basically equivalent to 10 times the price of Xiaolong, but this does not mean that their performance can completely suppress Xiaolong. Expert analysis pointed out that in order to convince the people of the superiority of the Indian army, Indian military experts and the media deliberately belittle the new Xiaolong, which in itself is a manifestation of lack of confidence. In the face of domestic economic difficulties, the Indian army continues to pay a heavy price for militarism and is unwilling to admit defeat.
Xiaolong Block3 is a fourth and a half generation fighter belonging to the Rafale belt of the Indian army. Although its price is much lower than the price purchased by the Indian army, the performance gap is not as big as the gap stated by Indian military experts and the media. According to public data, the radar performance and missile performance of Xiaolong Block3 is higher than that of Rafale. In addition, in terms of specific training, Pakistan also has its own advantages, rather than not being an opponent at all as India said.
