The Egyptian Air Force


One country that always but unsuccessfully challenged the Israeli air dominance was Egypt. The country is veering off course in its weapons procurement policy, purchasing more from nations such as Russia and France, and the latest being the addition of Rafale jets


-- 220 F-16
-- 43 MIG-29M2
-- 24 RAFALE ... 30 on order
-- 7 E-2 Hawkeye AEWC

-- Egypt want to acquire 24 Eurofighter Typhoons

In 2019 Egypt had ordered 24 SU-35 fighter jets for about $2 billion
But Egyptian Su-35 Flanker-E Fighter Jets will be delivered to Iran

But Egypt lack national Defense Industry to produce its own UCAVs , AESA Radars , Missiles and EW Systems to match with Israel

They are the most powerful baby-killers.

You can compare the Egyptian Air Force with the Israeli Air Force here
Egyptian F-16s lack AIM-120 BVR Missile
Egyptian RAFALEs lack METEOR BVR Missile
and of course Egyptian Air Force lack 5th gen Fighter Jet


USA doesnt sell 5th gen Fighter Jet to Turkiye
but Turkish Defense Industry develops everything to dethrone the Israeli Air Force as the most powerful air force in the region

The number of F-35s will increase to three squadrons now:

Israel inks deal to buy 25 more F-35 fighter jets for $3 billion​

Stealth aircraft to be delivered in batches of 3 to 5 starting in 2028, eventually bringing IAF’s F-35I fleet to 75​

 
The F16 fleet is a problem for Egypt - so many fighters whose performance is "capped" by the Americans. If Egypt could get AESA upgrades with BVR, then they would have an impressive fleet for sure.

Not only F-16s
but also Egyptian RAFALEs are a problem in BVR combat without METEOR Missile
60 km MICA can not match with Israeli 100+ km DERBY-ER
Also Israel buys 25 new F-15EX Fighter Jets to carry 12 AIM-120 BVR Missiles


And Egypt needs stealth Fighter Jet

Israel owns 75 F-35I
Turkiye develops 3 stealth platforms KAAN , ANKA-3/4 and KIZILELMA

Turkey should have bought the J-10C or some Russian fighter jet instead of the F-16 Viper if they wanted to avoid American sanctions.

Hurjet cannot replace F16
 
Egypt want to acquire 24 Eurofighter Typhoons

Why does Egypt want Eurofighters when they have Rafale to cover 4.5 gen?
Both Rafale and Eurofighter package comes without meteor missile, Instead of
buying these 2 fighter jets they should of gone for J10c with PL15.
 
Hurjet cannot replace F16

HURJET will not replace F-16s
HURJET will be extra power in BVR combat with MURAD AESA Radar and 200 km GOKHAN ramjet powered Air to Air Missiles

TURAF will use F-16s for more 15 years
235 F-16s will be modernized to Block70 standard with APG-83 and MURAD AESA Radars

Well they buy eurofighters because ...... that's what they are allowed to do. They were denied with SU35 and not have permission to buy J10 or anything which can cause even small problem to Israel. That's why they first needs lots of courage to get anything meaningful.
