Chinese J-20 stealth jets allegedly shot down 17 Indian Rafale fighters in simulated drills, sparking skepticism among aviation experts. While China boasts of the J-20's superiority, Indian Air Force experts question the reliability of simulations versus real combat scenarios. Despite the J-20's advanced features like AESA radar, critics highlight the Rafale's combat-proven history and multi-role capabilities. Experts warn against overestimating simulated results, emphasizing the Rafale's extensive operational experience in conflicts globally. The claim fuels ongoing comparisons between Chinese and Indian military capabilities following tensions along the Galwan Valley.
