In a recent development, Uzbekistan has become the second foreign nation to operate China's J-10CE fighter jets, signaling the expansion of Beijing's military aircraft exports and influence in the Central Asian defense sector. Despite Uzbekistan ordering 24 J-10CEs, neither China nor the Uzbek government officially confirmed the deal until footage released by the Uzbek president showcased at least six of the aircraft during Independence Day celebrations.
The footage displayed the J-10CEs at Karshi-Khanabad Air Base, confirming Uzbekistan's acquisition of the modern fighter jets. Uzbekistan's Defense Ministry subsequently released an official video of the aircraft, describing them as "modern fighter aircraft guarding our air borders." China has actively promoted the single-engine, multirole J-10CE for international sales, with Bangladesh considering a purchase and Pakistan already being the first foreign operator.
The J-10CE boasts advanced features such as an electronically scanned array radar, modern electronic warfare systems, and data links, enabling it to engage in air-to-air combat and strike missions.
