Some folks are saying that the bulbous shape of the front would make radar cross sections go off more easily

Egypt reportedly signs deal for Chinese WJ-700 drones
The WJ-700 is a high-altitude, high-speed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) for reconnaissance and strike missions. It features a maximum takeoff weight of 3,500 kg, an endurance of up to 20 hours, and can carry various precision-guided weapons.

Why did Egypt sacrifice the Sukhoi and Chengdu fighters for the Falcon jet?
Military reports revealed a pivotal shift in Egypt's arms strategy, as Cairo moved towards consolidating the "unmanned air doctrine" at the expense of major manned fighter deals.
This shift comes after a noticeable decline in the deals for Chinese (J-10C) and Russian (Su-35) aircraft, crowning this trend with a strategic deal to acquire the jet attack march (WJ-700) known as "The Falcon".
First: The specifications of the “Falcon” (WJ-700)... the silent killer from Beijing
The deal signed in June 2025, valued at approximately $400 million, is a technological leap beyond traditional Wing Loong generations. The march has deadly capabilities that include:
- Jet propulsion: Turbojet engine gives it a swoop speed of up to 700 km/h.
- High altitude: A flight ceiling of up to 15,000 meters (50,000 feet), which puts it beyond the range of most short- and medium-range defense systems.
- Sustainability and lethality: Survival in the air for 20 hours with an armament payload weighing 800 kg, including (CM-102) missiles to suppress air defenses, (C-705KD) anti-ship missiles, and guided bombs for heavily fortified targets.
Second: Superiority over the Akıncı and penetrating the Turkish market.
Despite the Egyptian-Turkish rapprochement and interest in the Akıncı (Akıncı) process, the Egyptian need for "jet speed" and the ability to penetrate quickly tipped the balance in favor of the Chinese (WJ-700), which gives the Air Force the advantage of rapid response in complex operational theaters.
Third: The local manufacturing revolution (EDEX 2025 outputs)
Egyptian ambitions did not stop at imports, as the EDEX 2025 exhibition witnessed sovereign announcements about the localization of drone technology:
- “Hamza-2” project: joint development with the Chinese “Norinco” to transform the platform (ASN-209) into an attack aircraft with quantitative local production.
- “Jabbar” family: Launching 100% Egyptian suicide and attack drones, most notably the Jabbar 250 jet, which employs advanced Egyptian guidance techniques to confront non-typical threats.
- Technical continuity: Continue developing the “NOT” and “June 30” projects for specialized reconnaissance and training missions.
Fourth: Why did Egypt choose the “robot army”?
Experts believe that this transformation stems from 4 strategic motives:
- Loosening restrictions: Chinese technology provides Cairo with political flexibility away from Washington’s conditions related to “military balance.”
- War Economics: The cost of operating a squadron of 10 aircraft (WJ-700) is equivalent to the cost of one fifth-generation fighter, with “zero” human risk.
- Security of the Straits and Borders: The jet speed of the new drones is necessary to monitor the Red Sea and the Suez Canal and secure the vast Libyan borders against high-speed moving targets.
By the end of 2025, Egypt had established itself as a dominant regional power in the field of unmanned aviation with more than 480 diverse aircraft, in a move that compensates for the shortage of conventional fighters and achieves effective strategic deterrence at a smart cost.

AKINCI is a different type of UCAV to compare with WJ-700
WJ-700 has only advantage its speed ( because of jet engined )
WJ-700 doesnt have AESA Radar and air to air combat capability
also WJ-700 has limited strike capability with 35 km C704-KD and 100 km CM-102 Missiles
( PATRIOT , S300 , S400 , SIPER Block2 , DAVID SLING's , HQ-9 AD Systems can hit WJ-700 )
and WJ-700 with 35 km C704KD Missile wont survive against Warships
On the other hand
AKINCI UCAV can hunt WJ-700 , Thanks to MURAD-100 AESA Radar and 100-180 km GOKDOGAN - GOKBORA air to air Missiles
AKINCI UCAV has 2 times more payload capability to carry superior Missiles like
150+ km IHA-230 supersonic Missile (speed of mach 3+) .... to hit AD Systems
150+ km CAKIR cruise Missile ( RF+IIR seeker ) land attack /anti-ship
150+ km KUZGUN-TJ modular strike Missile ( RF seeker ) for anti-radiation role
275 km SOM-J stealth Cruise Missile ( IIR seeker ) land attack /anti-ship
500+ km 300-ER air launched Ballistic Missile ( TV seeker ) to hit everything
also AKINCI UCAV armed with
50+ km MAM-T IIR ( IIR seeker ) land attack /anti-ship
60+ km IHA-82 KG ( RF seeker ) anti-ship role with 230 kg warhead
80 km TOLUN-IIR ( IIR seeker ) land attack /anti-ship
100 km EREN ( IIR seeker ) land attack /anti-ship
100 km KEMANKES-1 ( E/O Camera seeker )
150 km KEMANKES-2 ( E/O Camera seeker )
700 km SUPER LIGHTNING ( E/O Camera seeker )
And AKINCI is coming to become the first UAV in the world to carry ASOJ-234U long range radar and communications jamming system to escort other UCAVs for SEAD-DEAD role

Exclusive for the first time: The new “Egyptian monster” appears in the skies of France! The Rafale F4.1 is the newest in the world and is numbered DM22.. Watch the greatness of your country’s army 
This news is not just ordinary news, this is news that makes you hold your head up high!
Today they brought you an exclusive, still fresh photo from the heart of Bordeaux Mérignac Airport in France. What you see in this picture is not just a plane, it is the latest version of the terrifying Rafale fighter, which was spotted making its first test flights right after it came off the assembly line.
What is the story of this DM22 plane?The version in this picture bears the distinctive Egyptian numbering “DM22” (the two-seater version), and it is one of the additional “30 deal” that Egypt signed in May 2021. What does it mean? This means that this is the new batch that will join our air fleet, and in order to reach the terrifying number that causes concern in the entire region: 54 Egyptian Rafale fighters!
Why is this particular version a “disaster” by all standards?Focus with me so you can understand the value of the weapons in the hands of our air vultures. These new planes are not like the first batch, they come with a standard called Rafale F4.1. What does this mean in my country?
Not a plane, this is a flying “network”: The most important feature of the F4.1 standard is “network combat”. This means that the Egyptian pilot does not fight alone. The plane is linked to satellites, other planes, and forces on the ground and at sea. The pilot sees the entire battlefield in front of him on the screen as if it were a “video game,” sharing and receiving information in a split second. This awareness makes him two steps ahead of the enemy.
The smart “Scorpion” helmet: Pilots who are aware of this version will wear a very advanced helmet called “Scorpion”. This makes the pilot "make his own eyes"! Any place he looks at, information appears before his eyes and he can direct the missiles simply by looking at the target. Terrifying technology!
Newer and lighter weapons: The F4.1 version is equipped with newer and heavier bombs, such as the 1000 kg “HAMMER” bombs! It is capable of scanning fortified underground targets. This is in addition to equipping it with the new MICA NG air-to-air missiles, which have a much higher range and accuracy.
Advanced electronic protection (SPECTRA): The protection and jamming system in the Rafale is already strong, but in this version it has become much smarter in deceiving and jamming enemy radars. This means that this plane is a “ghost” that is very difficult to catch. Conclusion:We are not buying weapons, that's it, we have the latest air combat technology in the world. The appearance of the DM22 is a very strong deterrent message to anyone who thinks about getting close to the guarded borders. This is a huge step that confirms that the Egyptian Air Force is the undisputed “master of the air” in the region.
If you are proud of your country’s army and its eagles, don’t stop posting! Share it everywhere, write in the comments “Long live Egypt” and let the whole world see our strength.#Egyptian_Army #Egyptian_AirForce #Rafale_Egypt #EAF #Rafale_DM22
