China has officially denied reports claiming that the Egyptian Air Force received J-10 fighter jets. Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Wu Qian dismissed these claims as false. The allegations followed reports from media outlets, including Daily News Egypt, while the J-10C jet itself is known for its advanced capabilities with long-range missile technology.

On Thursday, the Chinese Defense Ministry refuted claims that Egypt had received its first batch of J-10 fighter jets from China. Spokesperson Wu Qian characterized the reports as “inconsistent with the facts” and labeled them as “total fake news.” This denial followed various media reports suggesting that the jets had indeed been delivered to the Egyptian Air Force. On February 13, Daily News Egypt had reported on the receipt of these jets, raising questions about their origins and capabilities.

The J-10C fighter jet is recognized as a 4.5-generation multi-role aircraft and is formidable in combat scenarios, featuring the advanced PL-15 long-range air-to-air missiles. These missiles enable the jet to target adversaries at a distance of up to 300 kilometers (186 miles), which significantly enhances its operational range beyond visual engagement. The jet’s advanced capabilities make it a strategic asset for any air force.

In summary, China has categorically denied allegations regarding the sale of J-10 fighter jets to Egypt, asserting that such reports are entirely false. This statement from the Chinese Defense Ministry comes amid claims by various media outlets regarding the delivery of these advanced fighter jets. The J-10C remains a significant multi-role aircraft capable of engaging targets from considerable distances, adding to its strategic value if confirmed operational by any air force.
