China Hongdu L-15 is a good choice to cheaply mass replace the Mig-21 Bison of Egypt airforce.

L-15 is already being looked at by the EAF to replace aging advanced trainers such as the Alpha Jet and L-59 Super Albatross. The Mig-29/35 and (if possible) F-16 will replace Mig-21 fighters.

Why is EAF buying both Mig-29 and 35? - Why not just buy the 35?

Most likely because the 35s production line has not started yet. Most people are saying that the Mig-29M which will be delivered to Egypt will feature much of what is planned for the 35 (i.e AESA radar, IRST etc.) but will not have the structural upgrades of the 35. We won't really know the reason until (or if) an official statement is made or the 29s are delivered.

Guys don't forget the economy of the US feed the growth of China the time when the US bankrupt that's the time where you should be worry about your growth.

This has to be one of the most ridiculous remarks I've ever heard。

China's will be by far the largest consumer and market in the world in a few years。

The net of export - import accounts for about 1% of China's GDP,meaning China is a large exporter but an equally large importer。

Who will be feeding whom?Now that's an interesting question。

PS We don't give a sh1t if we all go down the drain。If the world economy ever recovers,China will be the first to benifit from the recovery the way it did last time。:D

Egypt F-16 has no ARAAM capabilities and much advance capabilities will be null by Israel lobby.

L-15 despite being an advance trainer possess great aerodynamic capabilities and can be convert to fighter jet without much problem once radar is installed. SD-10 BVRAAM will be sold together as package.

Exactly, meaning if we don't want Chinese products made by Chinese workers, other countries can replace China with cheap goods made for American consumers like perhaps Vietnam or Bangladesh.

U.S. economy is based on majority on services not manufacturing, you can look it up.

It's easier than done. Other countries do not has great infrastructure like China. They lack high speed train to rapidly transport good. Power shut down is common in many other developing countries. Non do they possesss efficient port to rapidly handle container ship. Western countries for at least another decade will still look towards big China as world factory.

this is ur personal opinion but the ground realty is ddifferent lca is in piplin but jf 17 is now in use and also enterned in third phase
 
.
Lca has entered the production.........its not a world beater but at present configuration has better electronics than jf-17 with quadruple fly by wire vs single axis fly by wire in jf-17 and having a better radar.

It has also got ability to use different missiles like derby,python etc.

It also will debut with air refuelling in mk1 only,jf-17 still lacks it.

So please don't post nonsense here.
Current LCA MK1 is overweight and not able to perform the require angle of attack. Which is why IAF wants to quickly switch to MK2 of using F414 engine. And we do not know when MK2 Will be ready.

It has demonstrated 24 degree aoa.
Its good enough and next phase is upto 26 degrees.

Its overweight yes but not incapable with having same t/w as jf-17 which is not good in the first place.

However it still has much better electronics,a refuelling pod and much more choice in missiles than jf-17 will ever have.

Not to say jf-17 is bad,,,it has dsi so potentially increasing its stealth a bit,,its operational right now.

Sir,,what i said is verifiable.U can challenge me if i am wrong.

Thank you

The 400 kg CM-400AKG (derivative from YJ-12) Wrecker is termed by CASIC as hypersonic since it can reach speed greater than Mach 5.5 at its terminal stage, and its guidance system includes GPS, onboard radar, and an image recognition system that can identify a specific target, it can also be pre-programed to destroy the ground targets with precision by uploading the digital imagery of the target or it can be re-targeted using its active radar seeker.

Originally developed as an air-to-surface missile (ASM) against fixed and slow moving target, an anti-shipping missile (AShM) is also developed for Pakistan, which claims it as "an aircraft carrier killer". The two different CM-400AKG models can be easily distinguished by the difference between the arrangement of forward control surfaces of the two model: the AShM version has four short and smaller forward control surfaces, while the ASM version has four much larger forward control surfaces.Pakistan is the first export customer of CM-400AKG, deploying it on CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder.
AVIC gives ranges of 100-240km for the two versions with their 150kg blast warhead or 200kg penetration warhead
