China's J-10 advocated as Argentine 'Typhoon beater'

Andrew Tate, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
15 February 2015

Key Points

  • A former PLAAF pilot has published an article on China Military Online advocating that Argentina buys the J-10B combat aircraft
  • Argentine-Chinese talks on aerospace co-operation have previously focused on the less capable FC-1

China Military Online, the website of the semi-official PLA Daily newspaper, has published an analysis advancing the case for China to supply the Argentine Air Force with the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation (CAC) J-10B combat aircraft rather than the CAC/PAC JF-17/FC-1. The article was published a week after the visit to China by Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner early this month and the reported establishment of a joint Chinese-Argentine fighter aircraft working group.
