Israel is very concerned about an Arab state … thus threatens to hit its planes from a distance

The Israeli news website “NZIV” reported that there are reports indicating that Egypt has decided to buy Chinese J-10C fighters in its full weapons, including the advanced PL-15 Jo-15 missile, known for its long period.

The Hebrew site indicated that it was not yet known whether Egypt had bought the PL-15 or the PL-15E version for export, which is limited to 150 km.

And the Israeli news website quoted the “Horin” account on the Chinese weapons website, that the J19001 was offered at the Zhuhahi exhibition, perhaps the first unit dedicated to Egypt, which is compatible with the numbering system “9001” for the Egyptian Air Force.

The Hebrew website report indicated that the “Chengdu J-10” plane, or known as “Vigorus Dragon”, is a mono-motor-weight combat plane, and it also has other multiple engines and is characterized by the design of the Delta wing, and is manufactured by Chengdo aircraft “CAC” In favor of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army “Plaaf” and the Pakistani Air Force “PAF”, the J-10 plane was designed primarily for air fighting, but it is also able to carry out the tasks of the attack.

The PL-15E missiles, the export dedicated version, had been displayed at the 2021 Zhuhai Air Show, where the PL-15E model has a shorter range than the PL-15, due to the changes in fuel or the missile engine, and there is a similar position between SD-10 and its counterpart Local, PL-12.

The Hebrew site said that what worries Israel is not the Chinese fighter plane, but the Chinese missile Joe-Jo is long, a weapon that the Egyptian Air Force has not had before, as these missiles will allow the Egyptian Air Force to try to hit Israeli aircraft even without being in the field of their vision. .

The Hebrew site pointed out that both the United States and France had refrained from providing the Egyptian Air Force with similar capabilities at the request of Israel, in order to preserve the Israeli superiority over Egypt in the battlefield. (Russia today)
