Pakistan uses Chinese-made J-10s to strike Indian aircraft, China denies being aware of their use

In the recent skirmishes between India and Pakistan, there have been air battles. Pakistan declared that during that time, they shot down five Indian aircraft, including French Rafale jets. Pakistan claims that to do this, they used Chinese F-10 fighters. Analysts have stated that this conflict has been a way for the nation's manufacturers to observe the skill of their weapons. For reference, India uses mostly European jets, especially French jets and older Russian ones. Pakistan, in contrast, uses mostly Chinese jets and older American ones. While Pakistan has celebrated the success of Chinese weapons, Beijing has not seemed as enthusiastic. China, though considered a Pakistani ally and an Indian enemy, has urged a peaceful solution between the two powers. China, so far, has denied being aware of the fighter's use beforehand and has declared itself neutral in the conflict.
