And here it is in field. It's usually seen with the TOR & BUK units despite the variation in the camo on the Barnaul-T and the missile launching vehicles.

And inside the EAF's E-2C Hawkeye 2000.
- AN/APS-145 Radar - Provides fully automatic overland detection and tracking, and significantly extends the radar detection limits with a range in excess of 300 miles. Advantages include reduced operator workload, effective elimination of blind speeds and an extremely stable surface plot.
- Improved Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) - Extends IFF range to radar limits, enables multi-mode simultaneous operation and incorporates an auto jam strobe to alert operators to jamming in the IFF band.
- Enhanced High Speed Processor - To handle the increased radar track file and required expansion of display symbol capacity, a high-speed parallel processor is incorporated into the mission computer which expands the active track file by 400% over Group 0. The enhanced high-speed processor equipped L-304 computer allows the E-2C the capability to process more than 2000 tracks.
- Enhanced Main Display Units - Enhanced tactical displays provide each operator with an improved visual representation of the total tactical picture through expansion of symbology display capacity by 1000%, multicolor display, map overlays of geographic features, zoom capability, and auxiliary data display windows.
- Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) - Incorporates several anti-jam features to allow uninterrupted voice and data communications, also enhancing interoperability with platforms such as the USAF AWACS and F-15. Equipped with the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS), the E-2C Group II is the cornerstone for fleet and joint service employment.
- Global Positioning System (GPS)- The Carrier Aircraft Inertial Navigation System (CAINS II) is augmented by GPS to enhance navigation and data link reference accuracy, which are key to tactical operations. The E-2C Group II is the first carrier-based fleet aircraft configured with the Global Positioning System (GPS), which allows the aircraft to use satellite networks to instantaneously calculate aircraft position to within a few meters. This system greatly enhances the E-2C Group II's navigation and data link accuracy.

Ok I have no idea which aircraft will use then
As only j10/jf17 can use them
(Flankers are off limits)

Usaf has phases out aim 7 almost a decade ago
Not sure about IAF though not sure why would they use such an old weapon system

Sir that's not how it works..
Indians made su30 under license and still couldn't tie a home made BVR with it because of issues from vendor and different ecosystem
There is absolutely no way around this (ask Pakistanis who tried this with mirage and j7 with their own home grown missile system)
Lastly Eygpt has no access to f16s or Rafael codes
If the news is true which I doubt then there are one of two possibilities
1- Eygpt is getting j10
2- Eygpt is building a SAM system from scratch based upon it
I guess we will have an answer in 5 yrs when you post a picture of Chinese missle on a American or French system

The US still have it in Sock.. Egypt EAF has the maintenance tech for every US weapon it has..
Someone said..
As of September 2021, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) was indeed still using the AIM-7 Sparrow missile and the Python 3 missile in some of its aircraft. While these missile systems may be considered outdated in comparison to newer missile technologies, there are a few reasons why the IAF might still be using them:
- Cost and availability: Upgrading an entire military arsenal with the latest technology can be a costly endeavor. Sometimes, military forces may continue to use older systems due to budget constraints or because the cost of upgrading to newer systems is prohibitive.
- Compatibility: The AIM-7 Sparrow and Python 3 missiles may still be compatible with the aircraft and systems used by the IAF. Introducing a new missile system may require modifications to the aircraft and its systems, which can be time-consuming and expensive.
- Reliability: Despite being older technology, the AIM-7 Sparrow and Python 3 missiles may still be considered reliable and effective in certain scenarios. If these missiles continue to meet the operational needs of the IAF, there may be less urgency to replace them with newer systems.
- Transition period: Military forces often go through a transition period when phasing out old systems and introducing new ones. During this period, it is common to see a mix of old and new technologies being used concurrently.
