May-18th-2026
Pakistan Air Force J-10C fighters were able to achieve a 9-0 kill ratio against Qatar Emiri Air Force Eurofighter combat jets during simulated combat engagements the Zilzal-II joint air exercise in Qatar in 2024, according to recent reports from multiple Pakistani and Gulf Arab sources. The engagements are notable as they provided one of the few indications of the capabilities of advanced Chinese ‘4+ generation’ fighter types, of which Pakistan and Azerbaijan are the only foreign operators, and occurred just a year before the J-10C saw its first high intensity combat test to achieve outstanding results against the Indian Air Force in May 2025. The results achieved in Qatar are also highly notable due to the mounting criticisms the Eurofighter program has gained, and to the growing indications that the aircraft’s operators, including countries which developed it, are seeing to rapidly reduce reliance on the aircraft.
