Algeria’s J-10C and KJ-500 Deal Signals China’s Biggest Air Power Breakthrough in Africa

[HH-9A]

The problem with Indonesia now is this country’s economy is currently in deep trouble. Its currency value dropped almost 80% in a short span. And the nation is heavily in debt. Therefore, Indonesia’s financial means to buy J10C is highly doubtful.

Algeria getting J10c makes sense but source is dubious.

Algeria has purchased 24 Su-35SE and 14 Su-57E, as well as about 16 Su-34ME, Su-30MKA, and they have both modernised Su-27SME, as well as SU-24M and SU-25TM from Russian aircraft. They have everything from the Flanker family except the naval one. Su-33 no restrictions from Moscow on them getting more units or any types . Algerian military has got a very potent air fleet arm already. Do they really need to go and get a new platform from China?

Egyptian Rafale has SCALP missiles (after France studied and produced an electronic component USA didn't want to give to egypt... ITAR.... ).

The Meteor case is different... But if F16 can only rely on short range AA missiles, Egyptian Rafale has MICA, with a 80 km range (smaller range than AMRAAM, but far greater than Sidewinter)

Rafael without meteor is worthless, Egyptian were dumb to tolerate spending so much for a gimped weapon system

that is a lot of variations -- pretty bad decision making

I don't understand the blunders of Egyptians. They got mixed fleet of US, European and Russian fighter jets. They should have acquired J-10C. Today they got russian junk the Mig-29s and then potent western aircrafts but all are toothless because of US/EU restrictions on modern long range missiles.

F-16s (without AMRAAMs), Rafales (Without Meteors), Mirages 2000s, Mirage5s.

Spending billions on Rafales for what? Those Rafales can't do shit without capable long range stand off missiles.

I think Egypt is under US pressure to not buy chinese aircrafts. Even JF-17 if added with its true potential in Egyptian airforce will surpass every other platform by far. The long range attack capability from air to ground or long range BVR. There is nothing in Egyptian airforce that can compete with it.

You forgot Mig35s they bought.

It all depends whether nations reliant on Russian military hardware are concerned about Russian supply issues over the next 5-10 years.

Also it’s not good for Algerians or any country just to rely and be solely dependant on just one country for all its weapons. Best to diversify your military arsenal.

Ask them why they purchased it twice....

 

[Corax]

Ask them why they purchased it twice....

Little choice, politics, corruption etc. there's more to arms purchases than anything to do with actual weapons.

 

[hussain0216]

Because they are compromised idiots who like kickbacks

Buying gimped weapons that are only sold to you to protect the Jews is a morons game

With a changing world and middle east, their are multiple options now and the west and French etc can't be trusted

Diversification is useful, but i think the key thing they are looking for is platforms with better avionics, EW systems and better munitions and better funded development and upgrade roadmaps for their platforms. This is an area that the Russians have struggled in for quite some time and it is not getting any better either.

The performance of Russian systems in Ukraine have been less than stellar, and we saw how things went in SIndoor with Chinese systems. Additionally, by inducting the J10CE, Algeria can put in place all of the integration and architecture and infrastructure that will allow them to induct the J-35AE and get the best out of it as the J-35AE is starting to look like a true stealth platform unlike the Su-57E.

So UAE & Qatar are also compromised idiots?
