Former Indian Air Force Chief RKS Bhadauria revealed that China deployed 20 J-20 stealth fighters in response to just four Indian Rafales during the post-Galwan standoff. Bhadauria highlighted the Rafale’s strategic importance, describing it as India's strongest weapon system at the time. The deployment underscored the potency of the Rafale, with China stationing J-20s at Hotan Airbase to counter India’s new jets. Despite Chinese media downplaying the move, it signaled heightened regional tensions and showcased the advanced capabilities and high stakes involved in Indo-China aerial confrontations.
