But the Armed Forces Division report puts $888 million against training, operational essentials, technical and logistical support and freight, and another $158 million against insurance, VAT and construction work.

That is his characterisation, and it should be read as such.<\/p><p>Pakistan has claimed J-10 kills against Indian aircraft. India has not confirmed the loss of any Rafale to a J-10, and no independent verification has settled the question publicly. Treat the shootdown as contested.

Photo: Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<p>Twenty J-10CEs would be the largest single capability jump in the service&rsquo;s history: modern AESA radar, beyond-visual-range missiles, and an aircraft in the same broad class as those flown by its neighbours. In the Bay of Bengal, where India operates a far larger and more capable air arm, that does not create parity. It creates a cost of entry that did not previously exist.<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V7NP95UgkSY\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<p>Bangladeshi television coverage of the announcement is above.<\/p><h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Signed is not the same as delivered<\/h2><p>The process has been running since 2025, when the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus opened discussions during a visit to China in March. An eleven-member inter-ministerial committee chaired by the Air Force chief was formed that April. The Armed Forces Division wrote to the Ministry of Finance on 4 August seeking approval for the increased cost.<\/p><p>None of that is a contract. Bangladesh has been reported as wanting between twenty and twenty-four aircraft at various points, and neither Dhaka nor Beijing has publicly confirmed the final figure. A ten-year payment schedule stretching to 2036 is also a long time for a government&rsquo;s priorities to hold steady.<\/p><p>But the direction is clear enough. China has spent decades trying to sell fighters to countries that kept choosing somebody else. It now has a second confirmed customer forming for the J-10, and a sales pitch built on a battlefield claim that its competitors cannot easily rebut.<\/p><p><em>Sources: The Business Standard (25
