\"\"Islamabad: Indonesia\u2019s Defence Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin has announced that the country will purchase at least 42 Chinese-made Chengdu J-10C fighter jets.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, this marks Indonesia\u2019s first major deal for non-Western combat aircraft.<\/p>\n

Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa confirmed that over $9 billion has been approved for the acquisition.<\/p>\n

Earlier, in January 2024, Indonesia had finalized an order for 42 French Dassault Rafale jets, with the first delivery expected in early 2026.<\/p>\n

Observers link Jakarta\u2019s latest move to the impressive performance of the J-10C, which gained international attention after its successful use by the Pakistan Air Force during the 2025 Indo-Pakistan standoff.<\/p>\n

The conflict significantly boosted the reputation and market value of Chinese aircraft, while French Rafales, several of which were reportedly destroyed, saw a decline in credibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
