The idea of Colombia buying 24 J-10C fighter jets seems to have changed again, and it appears that they are preparing to use the J-10 fighter jet to lower the price. The fighter jet that Colombia originally wanted to buy was the Swedish Gripen, which was the initial agreement. After the India-Pakistan war, Colombia then wanted to buy the J-10C fighter jet. Later, Colombia said that the J-10C fighter jet could not be integrated into the NATO system, so they temporarily decided not to buy it. Then, Sweden suddenly found that there was no competitor, and raised the price of the Gripen.
Therefore, Colombia once again brought up the J-10C fighter jet and asked us to reduce the price. It's very simple. Using China's J-10C fighter jet to pressure the Swedish Gripen is that simple.
As for whether Colombia will eventually buy the J-10C fighter jet, the blogger thinks the chances are very small. However, Colombia will try to hype it up. That is, offering various preferential conditions to Colombia, and using these preferential conditions to pressure the Swedish Gripen, that's the situation. Therefore, we definitely will not cooperate with Colombia's exercises, but Colombia will use various media and rumors to confuse Sweden, making Sweden believe that Colombia can buy a cheaper J-10C fighter jet, thus completing the price reduction and preferential conditions for the Swedish Gripen.
No matter what, we won't be easily deceived, nor do we think that we should accommodate Colombia for such a deal. It's impossible. Small countries trying to use big countries as stepping stones, that's not possible. No one will play with you, just enjoy yourself. We have nothing to say, and if there are external inquiries, we will say that we can sell the J-10C fighter jet to friendly countries, and if not friendly, then sorry, it's not possible.
The reality is like this, and what to do is unknown to everyone. I hope all parties will be self-respectful and not spread false information recklessly.
