An Egyptian Air Force Rafale fighter jet crashed during a training sortie which coincided with President Macron’s visit to Cairo.

Sources speaking to Egypt Defence Review on condition of anonymity said a single Egyptian Air Force pilot was killed in the incident. Open source investigation later confirmed the identity of the pilot as Major Mohtady “Cobra” Shazly of the 203rd Tactical Fighter Wing.

They crashed a MiG-29M last year and now a Rafale. No wonder why Egypt air force was no match for Israel air force. RIP to the pilot.

It maybe due to intense training but of cos, crashing a new plane is not normal.

Maybe America subotage. MiG-29M crash. Rafale crash. Never F-16 crash. Hmm.

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.
