The Chinese fighter J-10C was observed over the port in Saudi Arabia, where the American aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman is stationed. This event is to prove that northern Africa and the Middle East have become new places of China's competition with the United States.
The Chinese fighter J-10C was photographed during a flight at a low altitude above the port of King Fahd in Janb, Saudi Arabia, which regularly serves US Navy ships, including those supporting USS Harry S. Truman supporting airport airport.
Located by the Red Sea, the port of Janbu is not only an important place for Saudi Arabia, because it guards the entrances to the Muslim Holy Cities of Medina, but is also one of the most important strategically American American logistics centers in the Middle East.
Pictures widespread for several days in social media present J-10C in a very close proximity to the critical American maritime infrastructure.
The Chinese J-10C together with three fighters Plaaf J-10C, six strategic Y-20 transport aircraft and the YU-20 air tanker, performed in mid-April a long-range mission, covering a distance of over six thousand kilometers from China to Egypt. This group also included an early warning and control aircraft of KJ-500-one of the most advanced Chinese machines responsible for interview, observation and recognition. However, this aircraft was transported to Egypt on board one of the Y-20. Their presence in Egypt was confirmed by materials broadcast by the Chinese CCTV television station. In Egypt, these planes until May conduct joint exercises with the Egyptian air forces, irritating United Stateswhich for decades considered Cairo to be their stable ally. Even greater anxiety in Washington was caused by the presence of J-10C maneuvers and information appearing in the media that Egypt has already ordered these fighters in Beijing. Although the Chinese Ministry of Defense has denied these reports, calling them false news, according to the Military Militathmagazine portal – their view on the Egyptian sky confirms that Kair seriously considers these jet as part of the modernization of aging air force and a reduction in dependence on American suppliers. This strengthening of China's relationships with Egypt, takes place when relations between Cairo and Washington deteriorate. And a proposal made by the president contributed to this largely Donald Trump regarding the relocation of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, which Kair rejected several times. Maneuvers in Egypt and the provocative flight of the Chinese fighter over the Saudi port prove that northern Africa and Middle East They became new places of China's competition with the United States. And under the rule of President XI Jinping, China made significant progress in this part of the world, taking advantage of the fact that Western countries limited their influence in the region.
