Might have been, no concrete info on this as far as I'm aware. My hypothesis is that we were too cautious with them and purposely did not use them too much as they were a prime target for India.
Chinese military exports to other countries
- Thread starter tphuang
- Start date
also the HQ 9 did so well that we are ordering more, should tell you that the brass were very happy with its performance, in fact the Armed Forces were very satisfied with all the Chinese and Turkish systems.
Any source on the fact that we're ordering more?
Rumours from very reliable sources, not a slam dunk but very likely.
If Israel can decapitate the leadership of any middle east country on a whim, we all know it aint gonna be US/European weapon systems that are going to save them.
An urgent need to address the staggering capability gap between GCC and Israel should be an opportunity of China to stop "underpricing" its now combat-proven platforms relative to their true value -> the guarantee of arab territorial sovereignty.
EDIT: Understood, I am moving this to the "2025 Israel - Iranian conflict"

fyi, much of this is off topic. This is purely a military export thread. You can discuss that without getting into the Israel/Iran conflict. After all, Chinese weapons aren't even being used there
Iranian airforce still operates Chinese F-7
