China has refused to sell hypersonic missiles or share the technology to build them with Pakistan, according to media reports. The Chinese government has clearly stated that these missiles are not available for export, and there is currently no version suitable for sale to other countries.


Why Did Pakistan Want Hypersonic Missiles?





Pakistan wanted to acquire hypersonic missile systems to counter India’s growing missile capabilities. India is already testing advanced systems like the Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV), which travel at extremely high speeds and are difficult to intercept. Pakistan hoped to match this progress with China’s help.

​

Defense experts say that China has a clear policy of not exporting its most modern and powerful weapons, especially those that could disturb the global balance of power. While it creates special export versions of other systems like the J-10CE fighter jet and HQ-9 air defense system, hypersonic missiles are seen as too strategic and dangerous to share, even with close allies like Pakistan.


China fears that transferring such technology could increase international pressure and create political tensions, especially with countries like the United States. These missiles are a key part of China’s defense strategy, particularly in its rivalry with the US and its allies.

China sales 70 % of its weapons to a single customer. If China stops selling it to Pakistan, to whom will China sale its weapons to? Shahad se mithi, samandar se gaheri dosti ka kya? Isn't the proxy useful now?

Pakistan does not have strategic depth to prevent an Indian onslaught just like back in May of this year.

Iran managed to down a 1000 drones, including dozens of MALE's and scores of aero-ballistic missiles and thousands of quadcopter/ small UCAVs despite being taken by surprise. And then responding back with hundreds of drones and BM missiles, which fukked Israel up........none of which Pakistan got the oompphh of ever achieving.

Pakistan is already defeated guys and on US life support.

Don't be mistaken about this. There's just no money for Pakistan to wage war.

Pakistan is just a puppet. The real humiliation was inflicted on its master China. China's proxy through which China fought the war against India was out matched in just less than 4 days with total humiliation of Chinese weapons.

Pakistan not getting Chinese J-35 stealth jets: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif says reports are only media chatter
Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has denied reports that the country has signed a deal with China to acquire J-35A fifth-generation stealth fighter jets. Speaking in a televised interview, Asif said there is no agreement between Pakistan and China for the purchase of the jets.



“I think it is only in the media. It is good for sale, Chinese defence sales, you know,” said Khawaja Asif in response to a question about the reported delivery of the J-35A jets in 2026.

Reports had claimed a discounted deal​

Earlier media reports claimed that Pakistan was set to acquire 40 J-35A aircraft from China as early as August this year. The reports suggested the deal was being finalised at nearly half the standard export price, and that China was offering a major discount under what some described as a “flash sale.”
The J-35A is a twin-engine, multi-role, fifth-generation stealth fighter developed by China’s Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. It is equipped with long-range PL-17 missiles and an AESA radar system, and has been seen as China’s competitor to the U.S. F-35.

Contradictory details from defence sources​

Despite the minister’s denial, defence sources earlier said that the Pakistan Air Force had approved the J-35A acquisition and that pilot training had begun in China. The proposed agreement was also reported to include liberal payment terms, with the first deliveries expected by August 2025.

Pakistan’s economic constraints raise questions​

The reported deal came at a time when Pakistan is under economic pressure. The federal government recently raised its defence budget by 20% to PKR 2.5 trillion. At the same time, it cancelled 118 development projects worth PKR 1,000 billion and reduced the overall national budget by 7% to PKR 17.57 trillion ($62 billion).

China remains key defence supplier​

About 80% of Pakistan’s military inventory comes from China. Systems such as the J-10C fighter jets and HQ-9 air defence systems were used by Pakistan during its most recent conflict with India. The addition of the J-35A was expected to further boost Pakistan’s air strength, especially with India’s AMCA fifth-generation fighter project expected only by 2035.
For now, official confirmation of any J-35A deal remains absent.

Past remarks on Indian jets also drew criticism​

This is not the first time Khawaja Asif has made headlines over unverified defence claims. During a televised interview with CNN, when asked for proof of Pakistan downing Indian fighter jets during Operation Sindoor, the Defence Minister said, “It’s all over social media, on Indian social media, not on our social media. The debris of these jets fell into Kashmir. And it’s all over Indian media today and they have admitted.” The anchor responded by saying they were not there to discuss social media chatter. Asif did not provide concrete evidence or specifics, including the type of aircraft involved, and loosely referenced Chinese-made JF-17 and JF-10 jets.

Infact, it is not atall any blow to Pakistan because either having or not having Chinese weapons are same. They are not good enough to fight any war.

First. India is the queen country of child prostitution in the world. I hope Indians can save their mothers.

Then look. Indian arsenal.

The Indian Air Force only has 30 Rafale fighter jets available for use. Tejas made in India are not trusted by the Indian Air Force.

All Indian missiles come from outdated Russian technology. The technical level is very low. And the quantity is very small.

This is almost all of India's available military force. I want to know. Where does India have the courage and confidence to believe that India can defeat Pakistan. Relying on Indian rhetoric and propaganda?

When Indian made Tejas can work like JF-17. Let's talk about Indian propaganda again.

 

[Jiangnan]

JF 17 is a junk. Bring J 10. It is shot down by India. Bring J35. What if it is also shot down? Active 50 cent army do propaganda.

But what did India use to shoot down JF-17 and J-10C? Relying on your mouth? Or Junk Rafale fighter jets and Tejas that cannot fly?

At present. There is a reason why the human world keeps a distance from India's propaganda.

 

[Jiangnan]

China not selling weapons to Pakistan is in favour of both countries. Cash crunched Pakistan can save sove some money and stop India to do live shooting practice. On the other hand, China can stop itself from being humiliated which has become very common for China now a days. Win win situation for both the countries.

The Indian hid in the hangar and looked at the J-10C in the sky, saying, 'I humiliated China.'. This is the Indian.

 

[Jiangnan]

How many Chinese soldiers visited your home when your father was in concentration camp that a &&&&&&*& like came on this planet? Chinese army do that to bring loyalty in their generations. You are too loyal.

Indian arsenal: 30 Rafale fighter jets Russian missiles. This is India's all military force.

btw. Your mother is doing well.

 

[Jiangnan]

That is sufficient to obliterate Chinese junk which has the only utility of providing target practice to Indian planes.

Get your genes checked and match it with the list of Chinese soldiers who visited your your home by asking your mom. When you are able to identify your biological father, come back for discussion.

Ah. Then the J-10C easily shot down the Rafale fighter jet.

Pakistan is a proxy for different nations at different time. When war happened, it was China's proxy. Subsequently, it is US proxy.

That's what I thought. When I first read of reports of speculation of Brahmos sale to Phillipines many years ago, I was a bit annoyed and wondered how could they think of selling Brahmos to Phillipines. I didn't get the logic. Perhaps corruption was involved.

Oh ghaad fillipeendo key to jhaantain bhee nahi hoteen……bicharay saarrhay 4 foot k chicano log……bilkul maasoom.

Vo Kya karain gay brahmos ka?

Do teen moochhain hoteen hain catfish key tarha……
