Pakistan claimed to have shot down several Indian air force fighter jets with Chinese -made missiles.

The use of J-10Cs by Pakistan would mark the first time the Chinese planes and the PL-15 missiles they were carrying have been used in combat anywhere in the world.

China is Pakistan ’s biggest military weapons supplier, providing more than 80% of its stock.

China ’s military and government have neither denied nor celebrated the J-10C claims. The foreign ministry said when asked that it was “not familiar” with the J-10C situation. But on Tuesday China ’s vice-foreign minister Sun Weidong met with Pakistan ’s ambassador to China , Khalil Hashmi . “ China welcomes and supports Pakistan and India achieving a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire,” a foreign ministry statement said. “ China is ready to continue to play a constructive role in this regard.”.
