Egypt has already ordered more rafales. It will take care of any threat which others can't. Also they have mig 2000 , it is becoming right combination. While upgraded f16 are still good to defend land from any threat.

24 rafale wont make up for 200+ f16's. the mk2's are old. and 48 mig 35's will help but with the r-77 not being advanced its no good.

Egyptian F-16s can't track Israeli jets.. One of the reasons the Turks replaced the friend and foe system on their F-16s.. Because they couldn't identify Israeli jets.

Egyptian F-16s can't track Israeli jets..

F16 is a brand . Nobody destroys its own brand otherwise nobody will purchase military hardware from U.S.A in future.
There is nothing like kill switch or even close to it.
No doubt, Israel have latest jets, that makes it difficult for egypt jets to survive due to upper hand in technology

Kill switches ain't .. But IFF system sure is:

IFF systems couldn't differentiate between friendly and enemy fighters .. The Turks replaced them...

Egypt doesn't even have BVRs for those F-16s.. There is a reason they are buying French fighters..

Sorry but Egypt is more or less playing paid agent role for suppressing Muslims both internally and Hamas from Palestine. They are only getting money and ammos for entering in sectarian war in which KSA and Iran are equally involved.
