China’s **AVIC Chengdu Aircraft Corporation has reported a sharp rise in revenue and profits, with analysts linking the growth to increased global interest in its fighter jets following the Pakistan-India conflict.
According to a report, the company posted its highest-ever financial results, with revenue rising 15.8% to 75.4 billion yuan ($11 billion) and profits increasing 6.5% to 3.4 billion yuan in 2025. First-quarter sales also recorded a significant year-on-year jump.
The surge comes after Pakistan’s use of the Chinese-made **Chengdu J-10C during last year’s conflict with **India, where it was credited with downing multiple aircraft, including French-made Rafale jets, according to official claims.
The **Pakistan Air Force inducted the J-10C into its fleet in 2022, highlighting its advanced capabilities, including compatibility with PL-10 short-range and PL-15 beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles.
During the brief but intense conflict in May 2025, Pakistan also deployed other Chinese-origin systems, including the HQ-9 air defence system, alongside JF-17 Thunder jets.
The four-day standoff between the two nuclear-armed countries ended on May 10 with a ceasefire agreement brokered by the **United States.
Following the conflict, Pakistani military officials said Chinese defence platforms performed effectively in operational conditions, further boosting their credibility in international markets.
A subsequent report presented to the US Congress also noted Pakistan’s use of advanced Chinese weaponry, highlighting its role in enhancing the country’s operational capabilities during the conflict.
The latest financial performance of Chengdu Aircraft Corporation reflects growing global demand and increased attention on Chinese military technology in the wake of the regional standoff.
