Chinese hardware only became competitive like 15 years ago. And they only had an export available 5th generation this year.

Chinese aircraft hardware didn't become properly competitive until the J-16, J10C, J-20, KJ-500, and PL-15 were available. The oldest of these pieces wasn't operational until 2015, and the J-10C wasn't available for purchase until 2020. And we didn't know for sure that these weapons were competitive until the May 7 battle. It's shocking how quickly Chinese military technology has progressed, and I wouldn't blame any military purchasers for sleeping on them in the past.

About the foreign base, Egypt ability to negotiate for a foreign base with China or Russia will be undermined greatly because this countries will be a part of the war directly as the Invading forces will not let them build the base. Unlike the usual way, when the foreign country build the base, and deter any agression against this country, so it'll most likely be too late.

Even getting foreign militaries to protect the interior - like what happend after 1967 - will not be easy, as the US & Israel capability is way more powerful compared to these foreign militaries, and these countries face a lot of threats. So these countries - if willing - will use Asymmetric ways to help egypt, but most of them won't deploy thier troops to Egypt.

I don't think it's very realistic to expect either China or Russia to build any military bases in Egypt. China simply doesn't have the interest and I doubt they'll develop any such interest in the foreseeable future.

Russia has wanted access to the Meditteranean Sea since at least the 19th century, and they've never had it. Right now, their Black Sea fleet is probably in the most precarious situation it's ever been in, and there are no short term prospects of changing that anytime soon. And I believe that Turkey has closed the Bosphorus Strait so it's going to take even more time and effort.

I agree with you, but the most important reason is that Egypt will not look for any foreign base in it's land or accept any offer to do so, as I said

. If they're willing - because of a big defeat & and the need deterrence (nuclear) - then they will have problems to look for a country that's able to do it.
