Egypt is deep in debt including to the IMF. It is highly unlikely they will buy non-Western aircraft. The FC-31 is also still not available for purchase on the wider market.

If China for whatever reason starts selling its aircraft worldwide it will also be hit with CAATSA sanctions similar to Russia. The US will threaten any countries buying Chinese weapons from access to international banking using SWIFT.

Considering the amount of countries already buying Chinese weapons, this is highly unlikely, impractical and unfeasible.

And high debt makes it more likely to buy Chinese which are mostly cheaper.

Egypt has F-16/Rafale but the pain point is that they don’t have advanced medium range missiles to match. Maybe this is why they are looking at J-10C.

US has a specific law or foreign policy that restricts sale of equipment to potential adversaries of Israel that are superior to Israeli systems. Military advantage must always be in Israel's favor. Hence why American-origin equipment in middleast is always downgraded wrt Israel.

Considering Ukraine managed to install NATO weapons on Mig-29, what's preventing China from selling adaptor to allow installation of PL-15 on F-16 to Egypt?

Hi,
by copyrights Egyptian can’t install anything on F16 (so basically no/no) unless get a thumbs up from
USA, but of cource they can put anything on mig29 or probably on F7 Chinese fighters
too, if they wish for it here one has to see whats the strength of mig29 radar against
PL15 for its full potential
thank you

Integrating AAM's is a few rungs higher in the complexity ladder than integrating INS/GPS guided bombs and missiles that are connected via bluetooth to an ipad in the cockpit, though.

Exactly. An air to air missile might need mid course guidance. The aircraft communicates with the missile. Those bombs a lot of the time just get input the target coordinates and get fired away. In some cases they program the bomb's target on the ground even.

These kind of rules are usually applied to US selling arms to its vassals. Funny to see Americans behave like vassals when it comes to Israel.
