SBS News reported that the export of 105 FA50 fighters to Egypt has encountered uncertainties, and Egypt stated today that it is reevaluating the value of the procurement.
According to military experts' analysis, the Chinese Air Force sending a fleet to participate in the Egyptian Air Force exercise indicates that China is still actively seeking Egyptian orders. In last week's India-Pakistan conflict, Chinese fighter jets shot down French fighters one after another, causing significant shock in the global defense industry.
It was expected that the indecisive Egyptian Air Force would express its intention to reassess Chinese aircraft. The FA50, which had previously gained advantages through low prices and technology transfer, is now facing a crisis.
Worse still, Egypt may reduce the number of FA50 purchases and obtain related technologies through small-scale procurement. At the same time, the remaining funds will be used to purchase from China.
