I think this is one aspect of May 7th that needs more discussion.

2019 and May 7th were great adverts for Erieye too, something not lost on the Swedes and Saab.

Erieye did great job both times. Data linked and guided our fighters and possibly even guided PL-15s to target. All using Pak link 17.

That is a great sales story for any country wanting to use its own national data links and integrate assets from different sources.

Countries like Egypt, Algeria, Morrcco, Iraq, Qatar, Azerbaijan, Malaysia and Indonesia must be seriously considering this now. Saudis, Emeratis, Brazilians, Greeks, Thais, already operate it. Even if performance is not as good as E-7, it is not far off and with E-7 US will not allow foreign data link integration.
The foreign datalink integration is indeed a major variable countries should consider. Not just radar data but sharing of ESM and EW data with a powerful enough (high bandwidth) datalink, extending the range of detection.

Yep - there were many "claims" made by both friends and foe regarding Link-17.
They are have no idea what they're up against.
 
potential Buyers of J10ce: Egypt , Uzbekstan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Brazil....may be columbia
China should market the J-10CE with an AWACS/EW/ISR platform and SAM systems as part of an ecosystem to deal with evolving modern hostile threats.

J-10 C is vastly superior to Brazil's Gripen E. It would give Colombia an edge over Brazil.
 
That's cool. Perhaps PAF should explore a local system similar to this, the 'green' or 'white' helmet or something.

The PLAAF is probably looking forward to their next interaction with the PAF. It's going to be a lot of things to talk about.
They knew each other very well.

Gripen c/d of Thai Royal airforce was slaughtered by PLAAf J10c during joint exercise held in Thailand last year.
In the simulated air combat, the J-10C defeated the Gripen c/d with a score of 9:1.
I'm looking forward to see a showdown between J10c and F16V in the near future.

It was reported that J-10CE scored its first air-to-air kills on May 7, 2025 when it liekly shot down multiple IAF fighter aircraft with the PL-15E long-range AAM over Kashmir. The downed aircraft may include Rafale, Mig-29UPG, Su-30MKI or Mirage 2000. This victory, if confirmed,(confirmed)could significantly boost it export prospect on the internaitonal market. Besides PAF, Egypt and Bangladesh have also showed strong interests in J-10CE.

It was a pun/joke, implicitly saying PAF pilots will take all the helmets leaving nothing for PLAAF pilots. <-- Take this explanation as a joke as well, my friend :)
PLAAF's Golden Helmet competition is a traditional competition that focuses on the individual capabilities of fighter pilots (two-fighter formation including wingman). It is similar to the Army's Individual Skills Competition.

In PLAAF's modern systematic air combat thinking, individual ability is no longer the decisive factor in air combat victory, but relies more on the support of the air combat system. Of course, individual ability is still important.

Previously, this competition was top secret. But now, it should be moderately open to friendly nations. We can invite some friendly countries to participate in the competition and develop the Golden Helmet competition into an international competition.

Of course, this is my personal suggestion.

China should market the J-10CE with an AWACS/EW/ISR platform and SAM systems as part of an ecosystem to deal with evolving modern hostile threats.
In fact, we have a complete range of complete solutions.

But the complete package is so expensive that few countries can afford it. This is not because Chinese weapons are too expensive. Rather, they are facing a complete overhaul of all their current weapons systems. That would be a very large expenditure.
