J-10 showed up on a slide at an air base in Indonesia. It was apparently posted on their Instagram page, but I cannot find the original post.

Su-57 is fifth generation and Su-34 is a fighter-bomber, they're not comparable or counter part for J-10C.

Algeria usually prefer twin-engine fighters so that they can cover all of its territory, but maybe they're interested in buying some J-10Cs, say 48, so that they put them specifically in the northern front for A2A operations against French fighters if needed.

Algeria have a way bigger budget and can afford the deal beside what they're already doing, and without caring about the consequences from US & the west --

They juuust bought Mig-29M2s though. Which forms recent procurement spree of Su-30MKA(apparently to be upgraded), Mig-29M2, Su-35se, Su-34e, Su-57E. That's a lot, and while J-10ce will arguably make more sense in this AL-31 world - it's a bit too late at this point.

Yeah Algeria has a history of reliance on Russia. So I believe they are more familiar with Russian systems than anything else. So they will like stick with Russian fighters in foreseeable future. Egypt could be a good market for China(only issue might be US objections.

To be fair, Algeria buys from everyone without issues, including China (artillery, corvettes, small arms come to mind). Everyone=literally, they do major equipment procurement from EU and US as well.
Russia is majority source, but never the only one.

Mig-29m is more likely to work with their IADS, like Egypt already do, and it's not for Air-to-Air battles. Su-30 their only choice to partner with to upgrade it is China, russia can't upgrade it and they are in need for this upgrades for their own platform.

Nevertheless, Algeria recently have diversified a lot of it "modern" military platforms and systems, with china as a crucial partner, so I think a deal for the full package (J-10C + KJ-500 + PL-12 & PL-15) or maybe part of it is likely but it will take a long time.

A good idea!

Chinese Air Force exports thread

Since recently every possible export rumour of a particular type quickly leads to a general discussion that includes alternative and political backgrounds for and against, but actually has nothing to do with the J-10 itself or anything else, here is a separate topic to discuss exports of Chinese...
