China’s AVIC Chengdu Aircraft Corporation has reported a sharp rise in profits and revenue, following increased global attention on its J-10C fighter jets after their reported use in a 2025 Pakistan-India air conflict, according to a Bloomberg report.

The company’s revenue rose 15.8% to 75.4 billion yuan ($11 billion) in 2025, while profit increased 6.5% to 3.4 billion yuan, marking its highest-ever annual performance, the report said.

First-quarter sales also reportedly surged nearly 80% year-on-year.

The Chengdu-made J-10C aircraft is operated by the Pakistan Air Force, which inducted the jets in 2022 as part of efforts to upgrade its air combat capabilities.

The aircraft reportedly saw combat use during a brief conflict in May 2025 between India and Pakistan, which followed tensions triggered by an attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.

During the hostilities, Pakistan claimed it downed multiple Indian aircraft, including French-made Rafale jets, using a combination of air defence systems and fighter aircraft, including the J-10C. India has not confirmed these claims.

Pakistan has also credited Chinese-origin systems such as the HQ-9 air defence system and PL-15 missiles for their operational performance during the clashes.

The conflict lasted around four days before a ceasefire was brokered with international mediation.

Pakistani military officials later described Chinese defence platforms as performing effectively during the engagement, according to media reports.

A US-China economic review report presented to the US Congress later referenced Pakistan’s use of Chinese-origin military systems during the conflict, highlighting their role in the engagement.

The latest financial results from AVIC Chengdu highlight growing international attention on Chinese defence exports amid rising global military demand.
