One of the Sudan Military Analyst said :

Ethiopia is in negotiations to acquire the L15 Advanced Trainer (light aircraft) from China to match the FTC 2000 of Sudan. And Ethiopia also possesses the heavy fighter of Sukhoi SU27. We must have air supremacy with an aircraft of the 4++ generation, because the West will not leave you alone, and Russia will certainly bring you down. The best option for J10CE for Sudan at the moment.

Of course Sudan badly need Modern 4.5th Fighters Fleet in their inventory, especially after their neighbors (Egypt and Ethiopia) arming their Air Forces with 4th Gen Fighters. Sudan itself didn’t have good relations with both of his neighbors.

So it’s understandable for Sudan to ask Chinese Large Supply of J-10CE Fighters Fleet.

But Advanced 4.5th Gen Fighters is not easy to maintain, you need huge amount of Cost to fly them. And Sudan Economy is not in good shape.

So the ball is in China right now, did they will give Credit Payment Facility to Sudan or deny their request?
Especially, looking at the current situation. That their southern rival (Ethiopia) is China’s Sheriff in Northeast Africa Region

It's also possible that they might go for surplus of China’s Air Force J-10B 's instead of brand new airframes of J-10CE. If that happens, won't be surprise for Sudan

What exactly would they do with it?
Egypt is way above Thier league and Ethiopia is already going through a civil war

This is likely to be a test of China by the Sudanese govt.

We have always had good diplomatic relations with Sudan, and most of their weapons come from China.

If the Sudan makes a purchase request, we have no choice but to agree. If we reject Sudan, Sudan will inevitably think that we have chosen Ethiopia and Egypt and abandoned our support for Sudan.

Ethiopia Civil war already ended, with Tigrayan rebels falling back to their Tigray region.

Despite all the shortcomings, Ethiopia Air Forces is much more powerful than Sudan Air Force with 20 Sukhoi SU-27.

Meanwhile, Sudan Air Forces only depends on 11 old MIG-29.
J-10CE fleet on their ranks would tip the balance between them.

About Egypt..
While Egypt have much larger and powerful Air Forces than Sudan AF. But if Sudan AF introduce J-10CE on their ranks with sufficient numbers. It would make Egypt think twice before trying to bomb any Sudan’s Dam along Nile River

Maybe.


J-10CE Fleet on Sudan AF ranks, would tip the balance between them and Ethiopia AF.

But on the other side, Ethiopia is an unofficial sheriff of China (Strategic Ally) in Horn Africa Region. And in the beginning of this year they just conclude a deal to buy L-15 Light Fighter fleet to replace their old MIG-23s

I think our most important interests in Africa should be Ethiopia and Kenya. Our arms sales to Sudan should not pose a threat to these two countries.
Maybe J10B+PL15E is a good idea.

Don’t forget about Tanzania and Namibia.

Not only these country have very positive attitude toward China.
China also have Strategic Interests in that countries.

Namibia despite have small population base, but China have Strategic Uranium Mine & Space Tracking Base in that country
