Thanks for compiling all of this.
HQ-19 is not for sale its RN the top of the line Chinese AA system thus is rather sensitive plus Pakistan would not be able to afford the cost of using HQ-19 much less than buying it. Also to use it properly you need a whole system of radar sites setup which costs even more money and is impossible to deploy rapidly
To be expected, they have to defend the honor of their prized Rafale. Also IAF incompetence probably played a major role in the IAF's humiliating performance. In theory, J-10C should not have that big of an advantage over Rafale.
If it's existence is known, it's probably no longer top of the line ABM system for PLA.
Plus even if China were to rush some systems to Pakistan right now, it wouldn't really change much in the short run. These are complicated systems that require a lot of training to employ properly. Unless China has PLA soldiers man those systems (very unlikely) they would be of very limited use to Pakistan for this conflict.
This merely states what has already been said on this thread, basically that 1 Rafale was downed and we have solid evidence for this. I'm asking where is the evidence for the other 2 claimed by PAF because they claim 3 Rafale shot down. Did they misidentify Mirage 2000 as Rafale? Or somehow overcount? Or did IAF manage to prevent evidence of Rafale loss(es) from surfacing yet?
Pakistan possesses at least 10, and possibly up to 12, operational Erieye Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft.
