Egyptian Air Force Rafale fighter jet crashed

Egyptian Air Force is a hodge podge of so many different aircraft that it reminds of the indian air force. With F-16s (american), F-7s (Chinese), Mirage-2000s (french), F-4s (american), MiG-21s (Russian), Mirage-Vs (french), MiG-35s (Russian) and Rafales (french). That's eight types of fighters operated by EAF!!! Granted that most of the Mirage-2000s, as well as F-16s, and all of F-7s, Mirage-Vs, MiG-21s and F-4s shall be retired by 2020. That would still leave Egyptian Air Force with 4 types of fighters in its inventory which include the Block-50 Vipers and upgraded Mirage-2000s. They require a standardization process in training their fighter pilots. Otherwise the Egyptians might find themselves putting in follow-on orders for Rafales and MiG-35s a lot sooner than they intended.
Too many cooks spoil the broth...

RIP....

A domestic solution has no alternatives...

Too many crafts, too little time...

Keep it simple and straightforward (to minimize the effect of Murphy's Law)...

No official news yet..apart from the pilot's name (RIP)..usually when a plane crashes the official news are very fast to say it.. So mere speculations as for now concerning the Rafale plane..

*Egypt denies loss of a Rafale

The plane might have been a K8E.. the Rafale pilot was also an instructor and a test pilot..

Egyptian pilot Muhtadi Shazly (RIP) _Nickname "Cobra"_ he left two little daughters..

1983 Negev mid-air collision

There are a big difference.. Israel’s Pilots fly over 250 hrs per pilots/year hence losses for different reasons..Egyptian do not, the only aircraft They fly the most is the Mig 21 for their pilot training..and the shortcomings of lack of flying shows..
