As per Yankeesama they are pushing for J-10C export to Egypt but not super hard. If Egypt buys it then good, but if they don’t due to US pressure it is not the end of the world either. What’s important is for young pilots in Egyptian Air Force to get exposure to Chinese fighter aircraft and gauge for themselves the capabilities of avionics, radar, interface, and weapons so when the time is right, they can make the correct decision.

Apparently there are multiple countries close to signing the deal on the J-10C and as per Yankee the second international customer is somewhere completely unexpected.
Sir my guess is UAE.

Algeria is my guess to replace MiG29s.
Correct Bro, Algeria is an expected customer Since @siegecrossbow mentioned unexpected then my guess is UAE, perfect timing if you ask me with the cancellation of Rafale contract and also both country had a joint exercise in Xinjiang as the Chinese show case their J10C, maybe he can give us a hint. ;)

Algeria

Algerian Air Force MiG-29
Algeria had 36 MiG-29 in service as of 2023,in which 1 was a MIG29UB (operational since 1998) used for conversion training,21 MiG-29S (operational since 1999) and 14 MIG29M/M2(operational since 2020).Algeria has ordered 50 MiG-29S and 8 MiG-29UB in total between 1998 and 2005.36 MiG-29 9.19 were to be delivered between 2007 and 2008. However, in March 2008, in an unprecedented move, Algeria decided to return 15 of the MiG-29 9.19 aircraft delivered in 2006-07 back to Russia, citing the "inferior quality" of certain components and units. Following this the MiG-29SMT has been cancelled with SU-30MKA instead ordered.This also cancelled the fact that MIG29S were going to be upgraded to 9.19 standard and UB to UBT standards.

Algerian Air Force
113e Escadron de Chasse based at Tindouf operates MiG-29S
143e Escadron de Chasse based at Ouargla operates MiG-29S and MiG-29UB (9.51)
153e Escadron de Chasse based at Béchar-Oukda/Leger operates MiG-29S .
193e Escadron de Chasse based at Bou Sfer operates MiG-29S, MIG-29M/M2 and MiG-29UB (9.51)
