[MICA]

Two people in the aviation industry told "Vedomosti" that was recently agreed a contract to supply Egypt 46 MiG-29, which may be signed in the near future. The representative of "Rosoboronexport" declined to comment. Receive comments from representatives of the Russian Aircraft Corporation MiG (RSK MiG) failed.

On the possibility of supply Egypt modernized MiG-29 (sometimes referred to as the MiG-35) say a long time, says the manager of the enterprise aviation industry, several times publicly stated this MiG CEO Sergei Korotkov. Last year, Egypt was signed and executed contract worth at least $ 0.5 billion for the supply of anti-aircraft missile system S-300V4, the contract for the supply of 46 MiG-29 weapons can cost up to $ 2 bln., Said the manager of one of the enterprises the aviation industry.

Egypt - a unique country, in service with the air force which, according to the handbook Military Balance, the fighters are just three producing countries - the USA (F-16), France (Mirage 2000) and the USSR (the MiG-21 and Chinese J derivatives -7).The basis of the air forces of Egypt constitute the American F-16, the supply of which is paid from the funds of US military aid, but the country has always gravitated to ensure that when a financial capacity to diversify arms purchases. After the overthrow of the military in July 2013 President-Islamist Mohammed Mursi United States suspended arms shipments to Egypt, and this is one of the reasons for such diversification. In February 2015, Egypt has purchased 24 French fighter Rafale, FREMM class frigates and missile 5 billion euro deal with Russia are also part of the diversification, and the MiG-29, designed to replace the Egyptian Air Force outdated Soviet and Chinese fighters.

For the MiG contract with Egypt opens up the prospect of work for many years and provides an opportunity of development - is the largest order for the MiG-29, for all the post-Soviet era, says expert at the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, Konstantin Makiyenko. Now MiG performs two contracts for the supply of deck-based fighters MiG-29K / KUB - for the Indian Navy (29 machines, at the beginning of 2015 delivered 17 units) and for the Russian fleet (24 cars, 14 destroyers delivered at the end of 2014 ). Last year, a contract was signed for the supply of 16 MiG-29 SMT for the Air Force of Russia, it is planned to put eight cars, and in 2016 - eight. Thus, the contract with Egypt will increase the portfolio of orders for the MiG-29 is now available for about 40 cars almost doubled and will enable the corporation to produce these fighters to about 2020.

I see, you sure be prepared for worst situation but its look more sane when your country looks more stable and prosperous, and I don't see any hurry when their are no signs of any huge conflict for Egypt to raise their air force to massive level.

Rafale paid by Saudis. Migs are needed to replace f-7s especially since they scrapped jf-17

Rafale is not paid by saudi , 50% cash and the rest is loans from french banks and don't just throw any claims
