essanews.com Egypt ditches American F-16s for Chinese J-10Cs in a major shift Story by ŁMI • 9h J-10 aircraft© Getty Images, Brent Lewin The United States has suffered a reputational defeat. Egypt, which for years has been purchasing American weapons and even launched licensed production of Abrams tanks, no longer wants the F-16. Instead of American planes, it has chosen Chinese Chengdu J-10C aircraft. The F-16 is the backbone of Egypt's air force. The country operates as many as 218 aircraft, including 40 in the old F-16A/B variant. In modernizing its air force, the Egyptian authorities decided to replace the oldest F-16s with a new aircraft type. Cairo also rejected the American proposal to deliver the latest version of the F-16, the F-16V, and the Russian offer to replace the Vipers with MiG-29M2 aircraft. Instead, Egypt chose the Chinese multi-role aircraft Chengdu J-10C. In light of this information, which Cairo and Beijing have not officially confirmed, the recent presentation of Chinese aircraft gains a new context. During the Egypt International Airshow 2024, organized in early September, six Chinese J-10C and a Y-20 Kunpeng transport aircraft flew over the Egyptian pyramids. J-10C aircraft for Egypt Egypt's decision is interpreted as an attempt to become less dependent on the United States. Cairo is diversifying its weapons purchases. A decade ago, it ordered Su-35 and MiG-29M2 aircraft from Russia, but the operation of these machines and Russia's reliability as a supplier of parts was unsatisfactory.

As noted by Maciej Szopa from Defence 24, one of the factors influencing this decision may be that Israel is likely unaware of the specifics, capabilities, and weaknesses of Chinese aircraft. Pakistan is currently the only foreign user of Chinese J-10 aircraft. The decision is likely political, as the J-10C, although more modern than the old versions of the F-16, is inferior to the new variants of this machine offered to Egypt.

Its serial production began in 2003, resulting in over 600 units so far. The J-10 has a "canard" aerodynamic layout, is powered by a single engine, and weighs about 43,000 pounds in take-off configuration, of which 12,000 pounds can be dedicated to armament.

Salaam, My mother's father was an Uyghur Chinese man who was born and raised in Kashkar, China (Also known as Urumchi, China). My mother has always said that her father would tell her that they were the "decedents of the rightful ones." I'm not too sure what that means. My mother's side family are sunni, but she believes that her father and past generations may have been shias. What I'm curious to know is that is there any proof of shias in Urumchi, China? My grandfather told my mother that there was a time when certain muslims were killed for following a certain sect of Islam. Could it be possible that my mother's family afterall be decedents of shias, but converted to sunni to keep themselves safe?? I don't know was wondering if anyone else has any idea. JazakAllah Kheyr in advance

Salam brothers and sisters peace be upon you all! the question goes like i have a friend who has been married to a chinese wife. She was a non believer before but converted to a muslim even though she doesnt have alot of knowldege about shia islam and she is still like a new born baby , naive. She did this just to be able to marry my shia brother. So now the problem is she still eats pork, no hijab, she doesnt drink alcohol by the way. When shes with her husband she avoids pork. But when they are at her moms place sometime she cooks pork and she has to eat it because it is impolite if she doesn't. My friend even said that it is really hard to make her practice islam because of the surroundings and culture n tradition in china. Even its really hard for himself to follow islam and really hard to explain about islam to her. Many problems regarding religion for them but they are true lovers as he said. So i would appreciate any help frombrothers and sisters here. Even im not sure what is the thing im tryingto ask but i hope all brothers and sisters here are clever enough to get my point as a muslim and shia living in non believers society. Really hard! salam. Jazakallah
