not long ago, at the first egypt air show in el alamein, egypt, a chinese air force y-20 and six j-10s performed a flight show and flew over the famous pyramids. according to foreign media reports, the egyptian ministry of defense has decided to order china's j-10 fighters to replace the egyptian air force's old f-16 fighters. since egyptian president mohamed morsi was removed by the egyptian military in 2013, the united states has imposed sanctions on egypt and refused to provide upgrade services for the egyptian air force's f-16 fighters. although egypt can still buy rafale fighters from france, france, under pressure from the united states, has also reserved some of its concerns about egypt. for example, the egyptian air force's rafale fighters cannot use the "meteor" air-to-air missiles, which affects its air control capabilities. china does not have any political conditions when selling the j-10, and the j-10 fighters exported by china can use the longer-range pl-15 missiles.

in addition, media reports said that egypt has also shown interest in the y-20 and intends to purchase the y-20 together with the j-10. this time, the y-20 flew specifically to the egypt air show and performed a high-difficulty flight show in front of egyptian ministry of defense officials, probably to allow the egyptian side to inspect the goods in advance.
